    Which of the following is false?

    A) \[p\vee \tilde{\ }p\] is a tautology

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

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

    D) \[((p\wedge q)\to q)\to p\] is a tautology

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] The truth value of \[\tilde{\ }(\tilde{\ }p)\leftrightarrow p\] as follow
    \[p\] \[\tilde{\ }p\] \[\tilde{\ }(\tilde{\ }p)\] \[\tilde{\ }(\tilde{\ }p)\to p\] \[p\to \]\[\tilde{\ }(\tilde{\ }p)\] \[\tilde{\ }(\tilde{\ }p)\]\[\leftrightarrow p\]
    T F T T T T
    F T F T T T
    Since last column of above truth table contains only T Hence \[\tilde{\ }(\tilde{\ }p)\to p\] is a tautology.
