    Identify the false statements

    A) \[\tilde{\ }[p\vee (\tilde{\ }q)]\equiv (\tilde{\ }p)\vee q\]

    B) \[[p\vee q]\vee (\tilde{\ }p)\] is a tautology

    C) \[[p\wedge q)\wedge (\tilde{\ }p)\] is a contradiction

    D) \[\tilde{\ }[p\vee q]\equiv (\tilde{\ }p)\vee (\tilde{\ }q)\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] since \[\tilde{\ }(p\vee q)\equiv \tilde{\ }p\wedge \tilde{\ }q\] (By De-Morgan?s? law) \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\tilde{\ }(p\vee q)\ne \,\tilde{\ }p\vee \tilde{\ }q\] \[\therefore \] [d] is the false statement
