The negative of the statement

Question:

The negative of the statement $\sim \mathrm{p} \wedge(\mathrm{p} \vee \mathrm{q})$ is

 

  1. $\sim \mathrm{p} \vee \mathrm{q}$

  2. $\mathrm{p} \vee \sim \mathrm{q}$

  3. $\sim \mathrm{p} \wedge \mathrm{q}$

  4. $p \wedge \sim q$


Correct Option: , 2

Solution:

$\sim(\sim \mathrm{p} \wedge(\mathrm{p} \vee \mathrm{q}))$

$\mathrm{p} \vee(\sim \mathrm{p} \wedge \sim \mathrm{q})$

$\underbrace{(p v \sim p)}_{t} \wedge(p v \sim q)$

$\mathrm{p} \vee \sim \mathrm{q}$
