Let \(\mathrm{p}, \mathrm{q}\) and r be the statements
p : X is an equilateral triangle
\(\mathrm{q}: \mathrm{X}\) is isosceles triangle
\(r: q \vee \sim p\),
then the equivalent statement of \(r\) is

  1. A If X is not an equilateral triangle, then X is not an isosceles triangle
  2. B X is neither isosceles nor equilateral triangle
  3. C X is isosceles but not an equilateral triangle
  4. D If X is not an isosceles triangle, then X is not an equilateral triangle.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) If X is not an isosceles triangle, then X is not an equilateral triangle.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned}
& q \vee \sim p \\
& \equiv \sim q \rightarrow \sim p \quad \ldots[\because p \rightarrow q \equiv \sim p \vee q]
\end{aligned}\)
\(\therefore \quad\) Option (D) is correct.
