MCQ
The false statement in the following is _____.
  • A
    $p \wedge(\sim p)$ is contradiction
  • $(p \rightarrow q) \leftrightarrow(\sim q \rightarrow \sim p)$ is a contradiction
  • C
    $\sim(\sim p) \leftrightarrow p$ is a tautology
  • D
    $p \vee(\sim p) \leftrightarrow p$ is a tautology

Answer

Correct option: B.
$(p \rightarrow q) \leftrightarrow(\sim q \rightarrow \sim p)$ is a contradiction
The false statement in the following is (p → q) ↔ (∼ q → ∼ p) is a contradiction.

Explanation:

(p → q) ↔ (∼ q → ∼ p)

p q ∼ p ∼ q p → q ∼ q → ∼ p (p → q) ↔ (∼ q → ∼ p)
T T F F T T T
T F F T F F T
F T T F T T T
F F T T T T T

In the above table, all the entries in the last column are T. Therefore, the given statement pattern is a tautology.

∴ The false statement is (p → q) ↔ (∼ q → ∼ p) is a contradiction.
