Statement I : if p is false statement and q is true statement, then $ \sim \,p\, \wedge \,q$ is true
Statement II : $ \sim \,p\, \wedge \,q$ is equivalent to $ \sim \left( {pV \sim \,q\,} \right)$

  1. Statement I is true and Statement II is the correct explanation for statement.

  2. Statement I is true and Statement II is true. Statement II is not the correct explanation for the Statement I.

  3. Statement I is true but Statement II is false.

  4. Statement I is false but Statement II is true

C Correct answer
Explanation

${ \sim  }({ p }{ \vee  }{ q }){ \vee  }({ \sim  }{ p }{ \wedge  }{ q })\ ={ \sim  }({ U }){ \vee  }({ q }{ \wedge  }{ q })\ ={ \phi  }{ \vee  }({ q })\ ={ q }$


Where U is universal set , $\phi $ is nulll set and p and q are two disjoint sets 
Correct option is C

Cost of a diamond varies directly as the square of its weight.A diamond broke into four pieces with their weight in the ratio $1:2:3:4$ If the loss in the total value of the diamond was $Rs.\ 70000$. Find the prices of the original diamond.

  1. $10000\ Rs$
  2. $100000\ Rs$
  3. $1000000\ Rs$
  4. $2000000\ Rs$

B Correct answer
Explanation

Let, the weights of the four pieces of the diamond $x,2x,3x,4x$ respectively.

$\therefore$ Total weight of the original diamond$=x+2x+3x+4x=10x$
Let, price of the original diamond$=k{ (100{ x }^{ 2 }) },where\quad k\quad is\quad constant$
$\therefore$ Cost of four pieces$=k({ x }^{ 2 }+4{ x }^{ 2 }+9{ x }^{ 2 }+16{ x }^{ 2 })\ =k(30{ x }^{ 2 })$
Loss in the total value of the diamond,
$k(100{ x }^{ 2 })-k(30{ x }^{ 2 })=70000\ \Rightarrow k(70{ x }^{ 2 })=70000\ \Rightarrow k{ x }^{ 2 }=Rs.1000$
Hence, price of the original diamond$=k(100{ x }^{ 2 })\ =1000\times 100=Rs.100000.$

Which of the following is always true ? 

  1. $\left( {p \to q} \right) \cong \left( { \sim q \to \sim p} \right)$
  2. $ \sim \left( {p \vee q} \right) \cong \left( { \sim p \vee \sim q} \right)$
  3. $ \sim \left( {p \to q} \right) \cong \left( {p \vee \sim q} \right)$
  4. $ \sim \left( {p \wedge q} \right) \cong \left( { \sim p \wedge \sim q} \right)$

C Correct answer
Explanation

We know that 


$p\rightarrow q\equiv \sim p\wedge q$

$\sim (p\rightarrow q)\equiv \sim (\sim p\wedge q)$

$\sim (p\rightarrow q)\equiv p\vee \sim q$               (De morgan's law)

$C$ is correct

A Correct answer
Explanation

The expression uses the delta symbol, which usually denotes XOR. The identity p <-> q is equivalent to the negation of XOR, and the expression provided simplifies to this identity.

Let $p$ and $q$ be two statements, then $ \sim ( \sim p \wedge q) \wedge (p \vee q)$ is logically equivalent to 

  1. $q$
  2. $p\vee q$
  3. $p$
  4. $p\vee \sim q$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Using De Morgan's laws, not(not p and q) becomes p or not q. Distributing this with (p or q) yields p or (not q and q), which simplifies to p or False, resulting in p.

$ \sim (p \wedge q) \to ( \sim p \vee ( \sim p \vee q))$  is equivalent to 

  1. $p \vee \sim q$
  2. $p \wedge \sim q$
  3. $ \sim p \vee q$
  4. $ \sim p \wedge q$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

An implication A to B is equivalent to not A or B. Here, A is not(p and q), so not A is (p and q). B is not p or q. Thus, the expression becomes (p and q) or not p or q, which simplifies using absorption laws to not p or q.
