JEE Main 2022Mathematical Reasoning Question with Solution

JEE Main 2022 (25 Jul Shift 1)

Question

Which of the following statements is a tautology?

Choose an option

Show full solutionCorrect option: D
Correct answer
Dq~pq

Step-by-step explanation

Plotting the truth table of the following option we have,

p q ~p ~q ~pq
T T F F T
T F F T F
F T T F T
F F T T T

We know that, AB is only false when A is true and B is false, now using this rule and above table we will make truth table of options,

~pqp p~pq ~pqq q~pq
T T T T
T F T T
F T T T
F T F T

 

Hence q~pq is tautology.
