Let p, q and r be three statements. Consider two compound statements
`S_(1):(prArr q)rArr r -= p rArr (p rArr r)`
`S_(2):(p hArr q)hArrr -=phArr (q hArr r)`
State in order, whether `S_(1), S_(2)` are true of false.
(where, T represents true F represents false)

The correct Answer is:
To determine the truth values of the compound statements \( S_1 \) and \( S_2 \), we will construct truth tables for both statements. ### Step 1: Define the Statements 1. \( S_1: (p \implies (q \implies r)) \equiv (p \implies (p \implies r)) \) 2. \( S_2: (p \iff (q \iff r)) \equiv (p \iff (q \iff r)) \) ### Step 2: Create a Truth Table We will create a truth table for the variables \( p, q, r \) and evaluate both statements. | \( p \) | \( q \) | \( r \) | \( q \implies r \) | \( p \implies (q \implies r) \) | \( p \implies r \) | \( p \implies (p \implies r) \) | \( p \iff (q \iff r) \) | |---------|---------|---------|---------------------|----------------------------------|---------------------|----------------------------------|--------------------------| | T | T | T | T | T | T | T | T | | T | T | F | F | F | F | F | F | | T | F | T | T | T | T | T | T | | T | F | F | T | T | F | F | F | | F | T | T | T | T | T | T | T | | F | T | F | F | T | F | T | F | | F | F | T | T | T | T | T | T | | F | F | F | T | T | F | T | F | ### Step 3: Evaluate \( S_1 \) We need to check if \( (p \implies (q \implies r)) \) is equivalent to \( (p \implies (p \implies r)) \). - From the truth table: - \( p \implies (q \implies r) \) is T, F, T, T, T, T, T, T - \( p \implies (p \implies r) \) is T, F, T, F, T, T, T, T Comparing the two columns: - They are not equal for all combinations (specifically, they differ when \( p = T, q = F, r = F \)). - Thus, \( S_1 \) is **False**. ### Step 4: Evaluate \( S_2 \) Now we check if \( (p \iff (q \iff r)) \) is equivalent to \( (p \iff (q \iff r)) \). - From the truth table: - Both expressions yield the same results: T, F, T, F, T, F, T, F. Since both expressions are equal for all combinations, \( S_2 \) is **True**. ### Final Result - \( S_1 \) is **False**. - \( S_2 \) is **True**. Thus, the answer is: - \( S_1: F \) - \( S_2: T \)
