The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to translate the given statement "She does not go to market unless she buys some fruits" into a logical expression using the symbols \( p \) and \( q \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Statements**: - Let \( p \) represent "She goes to market". - Let \( q \) represent "She buys some fruits". 2. **Understanding the Phrase "unless"**: - The phrase "A unless B" can be interpreted as "If not B, then not A". In logical terms, this translates to \( \neg B \rightarrow \neg A \). 3. **Apply the Interpretation**: - In our case, we can rewrite the statement "She does not go to market unless she buys some fruits" as: - "If she does not buy some fruits, then she does not go to market". - This translates to: - \( \neg q \rightarrow \neg p \). 4. **Rearranging the Expression**: - The expression \( \neg q \rightarrow \neg p \) can also be rewritten using the contrapositive, which is logically equivalent: - \( p \rightarrow q \). - This means "If she goes to market, then she buys some fruits". 5. **Final Logical Expression**: - Therefore, the correct logical expression for the statement "She does not go to market unless she buys some fruits" is: - \( \neg q \rightarrow \neg p \) or equivalently \( p \rightarrow q \). ### Conclusion: The correct symbol for the statement "She does not go to market unless she buys some fruits" is \( \neg q \rightarrow \neg p \) or \( p \rightarrow q \).
