Question

Let $$p$$ be the statement “$$x$$ is an irrational number”, $$q$$ be the statement “$$y$$ is a transcendental number”, and $$r$$ be the statement “$$x$$ is a rational number if $$f y$$  is a transcendental number”.
Statement - 1 : $$r$$ is equivalent to either $$q$$ or $$p$$
Statement - 2 : $$r$$ is equivalent to $$ \sim \left( {p \leftrightarrow \sim q} \right).$$

A. Statement - 1 is false, Statement - 2 is true
B. Statement - 1 is true, Statement - 2 is true ; Statement - 2 is a correct explanation for Statement - 1
C. Statement - 1 is true, Statement - 2 is true ; Statement - 2 is not a correct explanation for Statement - 1
D. none of these  
Answer :   none of these
Solution :
$$p$$ : $$x$$ is an irrational number
$$q$$ : $$y$$ is a transcendental number
$$r$$ : $$x$$ is a rational number if $$f y$$ is a transcendental number.
clearly $$r: \sim p \leftrightarrow q$$
Let us use truth table to check the equivalence of $$‘r’$$ and $$‘q$$ or $$p’,'r'$$  and $$ \sim \left( {p \leftrightarrow \sim q} \right)$$
1 2 3
$$p$$ $$q$$ $$ \sim p$$ $$ \sim q$$ $$ \sim p \leftrightarrow q$$ $$q{\text{ or }}p$$ $$p \leftrightarrow \, \sim q$$ $$ \sim \left( {p \leftrightarrow \, \sim q} \right)$$

From columns (1), (2) and (3), we observe, none of the these statements are equivalent to each other.
∴ Statement las well as statement 2 both are false.
∴ None of the options is correct.
