HINTS & SOLUTIONS
1. (C) 13. (B)
Sol. use ~ (p  q) = ~ p  ~ q
p ~ p p ~ p ~ p  p (p  ~ p )  (~ p  p )
where p : 2 + 3 = 5, q : 8 < 10
T F F T F
Sol.
2. (D) F T T F F
Sol. p : A is in X , q : B is in XII
Given p  q its negation ~ (p  q) = ~ p  ~ q Clearly (p  ~p)  (~p  p) is contradiction
3. (A) 14. (C)
Sol. p  q  ~ p q  ~(p  q)  p  ~q
p q pq pqp
15. (A)
T T T T
Sol. p  q is false only when p is true and q is false
T F F T  p  (q  r) is false when p is true and (q  r) is false, and
Sol.
F T F T q  r false when both q, r are false.
F F F T Hence T,F,F

16. (BCD)
(p  q)  p is a tautology.. Sol. A : neither true nor false
4. (D)
17. (ABD)
Sol. ~ (p  q)  p  ~ q
Sol. (A) p  q  ~ q  ~p
 ~ (~ p  q)  ~ p  ~ q
(B) ~ (p  ~q)  ~(~p  ~q)  p  q
5. (C) (C) true ~ (~p  ~q)
Sol. ~ (p  q) = ( p  ~ q)  (q  ~ p) ~ (p  ~q)  (~ p  q)
(D) ~ (p  q)  (p  ~q)  (q  ~p)
6. (A)
Sol. ~ p  q means F  F = F,, 18. (ABD)
~ r mean F Sol. Obvious
(~ p  q)  ~ r means F
 ((~ p  q)  ~ r)  p means T 19. (A)
Sol. Let p,q,r be the three statement
7. (A) p : x = 5, q : y = 2, r : x – 2y = 9
Sol. (p q)  (q p)  p  q Here given statement is (p  q)  r and its contrapositive is
~ r  ~ (p  q)
8. (B) i.e. ~r  (~p  ~q)
Sol. Inverse of p q is ~ p  ~q i.e. if x – 2y  9 then x  5 or y  –2
 inverse of (p  ~ q)  r is ~ (p  ~ q)  ~ r
i.e. (~ p  q)  ~r 20. (ACD)
Sol. A,C,D obvious and for B
9. (A) p  q is same as ~q  ~p
Sol. ~ (p  q)  (~p  q)  it is tautology not contradiction.
= (~p  ~q)  (~p  q)
= ~p  (~q  q) = ~p 21. (B)
Sol. p : A number is a prime
10. (A) q : it is odd
Sol. A cant be catagorised as true or false we have p  q
The inverse of p  q is ~p  ~q
11. (C) i.e. If a number is not a prime then it is not odd
Sol. Contrapositive of p q is ~ q ~p
 contrapositive of (p  q) is ~ r  (p  q) i.e. ~r (~ p  22. (ABC)
~q) Sol. (A) p  q is true only when both p and q are true so option (A)
is incorrect.
12. (D) (B) we know that p  q is false only when p is true and q is
Sol. ~ p  q ~ (q  p) false so (B) is incorrect.
(C) is incorrect since p  q is true only when either p and q
both are true or both are false
