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

    A)  A tautology

    B)  A contradiction

    C)  Both a tautology and a contradiction

    D)  Neither a tautology nor a contradiction

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

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