Question 1:

Show that the following argument form is valid.

pq
qr
p  r

solution:

p q r p→ q q→ r p→ r
T T T T T T
T T F T F F
T F T F T T
T F F F T F
F T T T T T
F T F T F T
F F T T T T
F F F T T T

As critical rows are true so argument is valid.

Question 2:

Suppose A and B are two overlapping sets i.e. A  B   , verify the given equation with the help of
Venn diagram.
A  B  A  Bc

solution:
L-H-S

A-B
R-H-S

A  Bc

Bc

A  Bc
L-H-S =R-H-S

HENCE WE PROVE THAT

A  B  A  Bc
