5.2 Let R be “He is richer” and let C be “He has a car”.

Write each of the following statements in the


symbolic form using R and C.
(i) He is richer and has a car.
(ii) He is richer but not has a car.
(iii) It is not true that he is poorer and has a car.
(iv) He is neither richer nor has a car.
(v) It is true that he is poorer and not has a car.
(vi) He is richer so he has a car therefore he is not poor.
5.3 Construct the truth tables of the following prepositions,
(i) ~ (P ~ Q) (ii) ~ (P Q) ~ (Q P)
(iii) (P Q) (~ P Q) (iv) (P (Q P)) Q.
5.4 Find the truth values of the following propositions under the given truth values of P and Q as
True and R and S as False.
(i) (P Q) ~ (P ~ Q) (ii) (P (Q (R ~ P))) (Q ~ S)
(iii) (P ((~ Q R) ~ (Q (~ P Q))).
5.5 Show the following equivalence,
(i) (P Q) R (~ P Q) R (P Q) R
(ii) P (Q R) (P Q) (P R)
(iii) ~ (P Q) P ~Q
(iv) (P Q) (~ P (~ P Q)) (~ P Q)
(v) P (Q R) P ((Q R) (R Q))
(vi) P (Q R) (P ~ Q) R
(vii) (P R) (Q R) (P Q) R.
5.6 Show that following formulas are tautology :
(i) (((R C) R) C) (ii) (P Q) P

(i) If 2 < 5, then 2 + 3 5.
(ii) It is true that 6 + 6 = 6 and 3 + 3 = 6.
(iii) If Delhi is the capital of India then Washington is the capital of US.
(iv) If 1 + 1 2, then it is not true that 3 + 3 = 8 if and only if 2 + 2 = 4.
