Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \( 72 \) is not divisible by \( 2 \) or \( 72 \) is not divisible by \( 3 \)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
We have, \(p: 72\) is divisible by 2 and 3 .
Let \(\mathrm{q}: 72\) is divisible by 2 .
r: 72 is divisible by 3 .
\(\sim \mathrm{q}: 72\) is not divisible by 2 .
\(\sim\) r. 72 is not divisible by 3 .
\(\sim\{q \wedge f)-\sim q \vee \sim r\)
\(\Longrightarrow 72\) is not divisible by 2 or 72 is not divisible by 3 .
Let \(\mathrm{q}: 72\) is divisible by 2 .
r: 72 is divisible by 3 .
\(\sim \mathrm{q}: 72\) is not divisible by 2 .
\(\sim\) r. 72 is not divisible by 3 .
\(\sim\{q \wedge f)-\sim q \vee \sim r\)
\(\Longrightarrow 72\) is not divisible by 2 or 72 is not divisible by 3 .
