Question
Prove that the following arguments are standard by constructing metaphorical proof
(~ X v ~ Y) $\rightarrow$ [A $\rightarrow$ (P & ~ Q)]
(~ X & ~R) $\rightarrow$ [(P & ~Q) $\rightarrow$ Z)
(~ X & ~R) & (~ Z v A)
$\therefore$ (A $\rightarrow$ Z) v ~ R

Answer

(1) ( ~ X v ~ Y)$\rightarrow$ (P& ~Q)] P
(2) (~ X & ~ R) $\rightarrow$ (P & ~Q)$\rightarrow$ Z] P
(3)(~ X &~R) & (~ Z v A) P/$\therefore$ (A$\rightarrow$Z) V ~R
(4)( ~X &~R) 3, Simp.
(5) ~X 4, Simp.
(6) ~X v ~Y 5, Add.
(7) A $\rightarrow$ (P & ~Q) 1, 6, MP.
(8) (P &~Q) $\rightarrow$Z 2,4, MP
(9) A$\rightarrow$Z 7,8 HS
(10) (A$\rightarrow$Z) v ~R 9, Add
