Mathematics I / Mathematical Statements and Logic
Practice question · Select all that apply

Let p be TRUE and q be TRUE. Select every statement that is FALSE.

Hints
  1. You are hunting for the false ones, evaluate each, do not guess.
  2. Any statement that requires p to fail is doomed here, since p is true.
Show the answer
  • B. (NOT p) AND q
  • D. NOT (p OR q)
  • E. NOT p
Why

With both true: p AND q is true; NOT p is false; p OR (NOT q) is true because p holds; (NOT p) AND q is false because NOT p fails; NOT (p OR q) is NOT true = false. So the false ones are options 2, 4 and 5.
