Question:

Consider the following three statements :
P : 5 is a prime number
Q : 7 is a factor of 192
R : L.C.M. of 5 and 7 is 35
Then the truth value of which one of the following statements is true ?

Show Hint

Find the truth values of P, Q, R first (T, F, T) and then evaluate each compound statement.

  • \((P \wedge Q) \vee (\sim R)\)
  • \(P \vee (\sim Q \wedge R)\)
  • \((\sim P) \wedge (\sim Q \wedge R)\)
  • \((\sim P) \vee (Q \wedge R)\)

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

P: 5 is prime, true (T). Q: \(192 = 2^6\times3\) is not divisible by 7, so false (F). R: LCM(5, 7) = 35, true (T).
(1) \((P\wedge Q)\vee(\sim R) = (T\wedge F)\vee F = F\vee F = F\).
(2) \(P\vee(\sim Q\wedge R) = T\vee(T\wedge T) = T\).
(3) \((\sim P)\wedge(\sim Q\wedge R) = F\wedge T = F\).
(4) \((\sim P)\vee(Q\wedge R) = F\vee(F\wedge T) = F\).
Only (2) is true.
Answer: (2) \(P \vee (\sim Q \wedge R)\)
