Question
Prove that the following arguments are standard by constructing metaphorical proof
$A \rightarrow J$
$B \rightarrow R$
$(A\ v\ B)\&\ \sim D$
$J \rightarrow D$
$\therefore  (D\ v\ R)\ \&\ (B\ v\ K)$
 

Answer

$(1)\ A \rightarrow J$ $P$
$(2)\ B \rightarrow R$ $P$
$(3)\ (A\ v\ B)\ \& \sim\ D$ $P$
$(4)\ J \rightarrow D$ $P/ \therefore  (D\ v\ R)\ \&\ (B\ v\ K)$
$(5)\ A \rightarrow D$ $1, 4, HS$
$(6)\ A\ v\ B$ $3,$ Simp.
$(7)\ D\ v\ R$ $5, 2, 6, CD$
$(8)\ \sim D$ $3,$ Simp.
$(9)\ \sim A$ $5, 8, MT$
$(10)\ B$ $6, 9, DS$
$(11)\ B\ v\ K$ $10,$ Add.
$(12)\ (D\ v\ R)\ \&\ (B\ V\ K)$ $7, 11,$ Conj.
