The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to evaluate the truth values of the statements \( p \), \( q \), and \( r \) and then analyze the given options based on these truth values. ### Step 1: Evaluate the statements 1. **Statement \( p \)**: "4 is an even prime number." - The number 4 is even, but it is not a prime number (the only even prime number is 2). Therefore, \( p \) is **false**. 2. **Statement \( q \)**: "6 is a divisor of 12." - Since 12 divided by 6 equals 2, 6 is indeed a divisor of 12. Therefore, \( q \) is **true**. 3. **Statement \( r \)**: "The HCF of 4 and 6 is 2." - The factors of 4 are 1, 2, and 4; the factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, and 6. The highest common factor (HCF) is 2. Therefore, \( r \) is **true**. ### Step 2: Analyze the options Now we have: - \( p \): false - \( q \): true - \( r \): true We will analyze the truth values of the given options based on logical operations. 1. **Option 1**: \( p \land q \) - \( p \) is false and \( q \) is true. - \( p \land q \) (false AND true) = **false**. 2. **Option 2**: \( p \lor q \land \neg r \) - \( p \) is false, \( q \) is true, and \( r \) is true (thus \( \neg r \) is false). - \( p \lor q \) = false OR true = **true**. - Now, \( true \land false \) = **false**. 3. **Option 3**: \( \neg p \land r \) - \( \neg p \) is true (since \( p \) is false) and \( r \) is true. - \( \neg p \land r \) = true AND true = **true**. 4. **Option 4**: \( \neg p \lor (q \land r) \) - \( \neg p \) is true, \( q \) is true, and \( r \) is true. - \( q \land r \) = true AND true = **true**. - Now, \( \neg p \lor (q \land r) \) = true OR true = **true**. ### Conclusion - From the analysis: - Option 1: false - Option 2: false - Option 3: true - Option 4: true Since both Option 3 and Option 4 are true, we conclude that at least one of the options is true. ### Final Answer The true statements are Options 3 and 4. ---
