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

    A) A tautology

    B) A contradiction

    C) Both a tautology and a contradiction

    D) Neither a tautology nor a contradiction

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] \[(p\wedge \tilde{\ }q)\wedge (\tilde{\ }p\wedge q)=(p\wedge \tilde{\ }q)\wedge (\tilde{\ }q\wedge q)\] \[=f\wedge f=f\] (By using associative laws and commutative laws) \[\therefore \,\,\,\,(p\wedge \tilde{\ }q)\wedge (\tilde{\ }p\wedge q)\] is a contradiction.
