Let a, b, c, d be propositions. Assume that the equivalence a ↔ (b v ˥b) and b ↔ c hold. Then truth value of the formula ( a ^ b) → ((a ^ c) v d) is always

  • A.True
  • B.False
  • C.Same as the truth value of a
  • D.Same as the truth value of b

Answer: A

Correct answer: True

The first equivalence makes a equivalent to \( b \lor \lnot b \), which is a tautology, so a is always true. Now suppose the antecedent \( a \land b \) holds; then b is true, and since \( b \leftrightarrow c \), c is true too, so \( a \land c \) is true and the consequent holds. The implication is therefore true in every case.
