Multiple choice

The following resolution rule is used in logic programming. Derive clause (P$\lor$Q) from clauses (P $\lor$ R), (Q$\lor$$\neg$R) Which of the following statements related to this rule is FALSE?

  1. ((P $\lor$ R) $\land$ (Q $\lor$ $\neg$R)) _ (P $\lor$ Q) is logically valid
  2. (P $\lor$ Q) $\Rightarrow$ ((P $\lor$ R) $\land$ (Q $\lor$ $\neg$R)) is logically valid
  3. (P $\lor$ Q) is satisfiable if and only if (P $\lor$ R) Ù (Q $\lor$ $\neg$R) is satisfiable
  4. (P $\lor$ Q) $\Rightarrow$ FALSE if and only if both P and Q are unsatisfiable

B Correct answer
Explanation

If P = True, Q = false, R =True Then we find, (T$\cup$F) $\Rightarrow$((T$\cup$T)$\lor$ (F$\cup$F) T $\Rightarrow$((T$\lor$F) T $\Rightarrow$F F$\cup$F = False(is not valid)
