The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given statements is true, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Option A **Statement:** \( P \land Q \equiv P \lor Q \) - **Explanation:** - Here, \( \land \) represents conjunction (AND) and \( \lor \) represents disjunction (OR). - The conjunction \( P \land Q \) is true only when both \( P \) and \( Q \) are true. - The disjunction \( P \lor Q \) is true when at least one of \( P \) or \( Q \) is true. - Since the conditions for truth are different for conjunction and disjunction, this statement is not true. ### Conclusion for Option A: - **Result:** False ### Step 2: Analyze Option B **Statement:** \( P \land Q \land R \equiv P \lor Q \land R \) - **Explanation:** - According to the associative law of conjunction, \( P \land (Q \land R) \equiv (P \land Q) \land R \). - The left side \( P \land Q \land R \) is true only when all three variables are true. - The right side \( P \lor Q \land R \) is true if either \( P \) is true or both \( Q \) and \( R \) are true. - Since the conditions for truth are different, this statement is also not true. ### Conclusion for Option B: - **Result:** False ### Step 3: Analyze Option C **Statement:** \( \neg (P \land Q) \equiv \neg P \lor \neg Q \) - **Explanation:** - This statement is an application of De Morgan's Laws, which state that the negation of a conjunction is equivalent to the disjunction of the negations. - According to De Morgan's Laws, \( \neg (P \land Q) \) is indeed equivalent to \( \neg P \lor \neg Q \). - Therefore, this statement is true. ### Conclusion for Option C: - **Result:** True ### Step 4: Analyze Option D **Statement:** \( \neg P \equiv \neg Q \) - **Explanation:** - This statement claims that the negation of \( P \) is equivalent to the negation of \( Q \). - This is not always true; it depends on the truth values of \( P \) and \( Q \). - For example, if \( P \) is true and \( Q \) is false, then \( \neg P \) is false and \( \neg Q \) is true, which shows they are not equivalent. ### Conclusion for Option D: - **Result:** False ### Final Conclusion: - The only true statement among the options is **Option C**: \( \neg (P \land Q) \equiv \neg P \lor \neg Q \). ---
