Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{T}, \mathrm{F}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned}
& (p \wedge \sim q) \rightarrow r \\
& \equiv(F \wedge \sim T) \rightarrow F \\
& \equiv(F \wedge F) \rightarrow F \\
& \equiv F \rightarrow F \\
& \equiv T
\end{aligned}\)
Consider \((p \vee q) \rightarrow r\)
\(\begin{aligned}
& \equiv(\mathrm{F} \vee \mathrm{~T}) \rightarrow \mathrm{F} \\
& \equiv \mathrm{~T} \rightarrow \mathrm{~F} \\
& \equiv \mathrm{~F}
\end{aligned}\)
Truth values of \((p \wedge \sim q) \rightarrow r\) and \((p \vee q) \rightarrow r\) are T and F respectively.
