TEST #1
SOLUTIONS
The total number of points for the Test is 100.
1. (5+5 points) (a) Find a formula of Propositional Logic with just three propo-
sitional variables p, q, and r that has value T with values of p and r being T and
the value of q being F, and has value F for any other truth values of p, q, r.
Solution. p ∧ ¬q ∧ r.
(b) Find a formula of Propositional Logic with just three propositional variables
p, q, and r which is a contradiction.
Solution. (p ∧ ¬p) ∨ (q ∧ ¬q) ∨ (r ∧ ¬r) or (p ∧ ¬p) ∧ (q ∧ ¬q) ∧ (r ∧ ¬r).
2. (5+5+5 points) (a) Determine whether the following propositional formula is a
tautology. Show your work.
((p → ¬q) ∧ q) → ¬q.
Solution. This compound proposition is not a tautology because its value is F
whenever the values of q and p are T and F respectively.
(b) Prove that (q ∧ (p → ¬q)) → ¬p is a tautology using basic propositional
equivalences (Laws). Give the names of the Laws you use.
Solution.
(q ∧ (p → ¬q)) → ¬p
≡ (q ∧ (¬p ∨ ¬q)) → ¬p < Conditional Disjunction+Leibniz >
≡ (q ∧ ¬p) ∨ (q ∧ ¬q) → ¬p < Distributivity Law+Leibniz >
≡ (q ∧ ¬p) ∨ F → ¬p < Negation Law+Leibniz >
≡ (q ∧ ¬p) → ¬p < Identity Law+Leibniz >
≡ ¬(q ∧ ¬p) ∨ ¬p < Conditional Disjunction+Leibniz >
≡ (¬q ∨ ¬¬p) ∨ ¬p < De Morgan’s Law+Leibniz >
≡ ¬q ∨ (p ∨ ¬p) < Double Negation, Associativity of ∨+Leibniz >
≡ ¬q ∨ T < Negation Law+Leibniz >
≡ T < Domination Law+Leibniz >
(c) Write the contrapositive, converse, and inverse of the following: You sleep late
if it is Saturday.
Solution. ’If you don’t sleep late, then it is not Saturday’ (or it is not the case
that it is Saturday) (contrapositive).
’If you sleep late, then it is Saturday’ (converse).
’If it is not Saturday, then you don’t sleep late’ (inverse).
