The negation of \( (p \land (\sim q)) \lor (\sim p) \) is equivalent to:
Show Hint
To find the negation of logical expressions, apply De Morgan's laws carefully, then simplify using logical identities and set theory concepts if needed.
- \( p \land (\sim q) \)
- \( p \land q \)
- \( p \land (q \land (\sim p)) \)
- \( p \lor (q \lor (\sim p)) \)
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
We start with the given expression:
\[ (p \land (\sim q)) \lor (\sim p). \]
Apply the negation:
\[ \sim \big((p \land (\sim q)) \lor (\sim p)\big). \]
Using De Morgan's laws:
\[ \sim (A \lor B) = (\sim A) \land (\sim B). \]
Here, \( A = (p \land (\sim q)) \) and \( B = (\sim p) \):
\[ \sim \big((p \land (\sim q)) \lor (\sim p)\big) = (\sim (p \land (\sim q))) \land (\sim (\sim p)). \]
Simplify each term:
- For \( \sim (p \land (\sim q)) \):
Using De Morgan's laws:
\[ \sim (p \land (\sim q)) = (\sim p) \lor q. \] - For \( \sim (\sim p) \):
\[ \sim (\sim p) = p. \]
Thus, the expression becomes:
\[ ((\sim p) \lor q) \land p. \]
Distribute \( p \):
\[ ((\sim p) \land p) \lor (q \land p). \]
Since \( (\sim p) \land p = \text{False} \):
\[ \text{False} \lor (q \land p) = (q \land p). \]
Hence, the negation simplifies to:
\[ p \land q. \]
