Let P, Q, R and S be Propositions. Assume that the equivalences \(P\leftrightarrow(Q \vee \;\neg\; Q)\) and \(Q \leftrightarrow R\) hold. Then the truth value of the formula \(\left( {P \wedge Q} \right) \Rightarrow \left( {\left( {P \wedge R} \right) \vee S} \right)\) is always:

The correct answer is option 1.

Key Points

Equivalence condition (Both RHS and LHS should be True)= P⇔(QV¬Q)
Holding condition (Both RHS and LHS may True/False)=Q⇔R

Step 1: (P∧Q)⇒((P∧R)VS)[Note: Q, R, and S is True]

P Q R S (P∧Q) ((P∧R)VS) (P∧Q)⇒((P∧R)VS)
T T T T T T T

Note: The given condition is True

Step-2:(P∧Q)⇒((P∧R)VS) [Note: Q, R, and S is False]

P Q R S (P∧Q) ((P∧R)VS) (P∧Q)⇒((P∧R)VS)
T F F F F F T

Note: The given condition is True

Hence the correct answer is True.
