Question 70

Consider the following statements:
$$P$$: Ramu is intelligent.
$$Q$$: Ramu is rich.
$$R$$: Ramu is not honest.
The negation of the statement "Ramu is intelligent and honest if and only if Ramu is not rich" can be expressed as:

We are given: $$P$$: Ramu is intelligent, $$Q$$: Ramu is rich, $$R$$: Ramu is not honest. So "Ramu is honest" is $$\sim R$$.

The statement "Ramu is intelligent and honest if and only if Ramu is not rich" translates to $$(P \wedge \sim R) \leftrightarrow (\sim Q)$$.

The negation of a biconditional is: $$\sim(A \leftrightarrow B) = (A \wedge \sim B) \vee (\sim A \wedge B)$$.

Here $$A = P \wedge (\sim R)$$ and $$B = \sim Q$$.

The first part: $$A \wedge \sim B = (P \wedge (\sim R)) \wedge Q$$.

The second part: $$\sim A \wedge B = \sim(P \wedge (\sim R)) \wedge (\sim Q) = ((\sim P) \vee R) \wedge (\sim Q)$$.

The full negation is $$((P \wedge (\sim R)) \wedge Q) \vee (((\sim P) \vee R) \wedge (\sim Q))$$.

The answer is Option D: $$((P \wedge (\sim R)) \wedge Q) \vee ((\sim Q) \wedge ((\sim P) \vee R))$$.
