    The false statement of the following is

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

    B) \[(p\Rightarrow q)\Leftrightarrow (\tilde{\ }q\Rightarrow \tilde{\ }p)\] is a contradiction

    C) \[\tilde{\ }(\tilde{\ }p)\Leftrightarrow p\] is a tautology

    D) \[p\vee (\tilde{\ }p)\Leftrightarrow p\] is a tautology

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] \[p\Rightarrow q\] is logically equivalent to \[\tilde{\ }p\Rightarrow \tilde{\ }q\] \[\therefore (p\Rightarrow q)\Leftrightarrow (\tilde{\ }q\Rightarrow \tilde{\ }p)\] is a tautology but not a contradiction.
