Let $$p$$ and $$q$$ be any two logical statements and $$r : p \rightarrow (\sim p \vee q)$$. If $$r$$ has a truth value $$F$$, then the truth values of $$p$$ and $$q$$ are respectively:
We are given that $$ r: p \rightarrow (\sim p \vee q) $$ has a truth value of false (F). We need to find the truth values of $$ p $$ and $$ q $$ that make $$ r $$ false.
Recall that an implication $$ a \rightarrow b $$ is false only when $$ a $$ is true and $$ b $$ is false. For $$ r $$ to be false, we must have:
Now, a disjunction (OR) like $$ \sim p \vee q $$ is false only when both components are false. Therefore:
If $$ \sim p $$ is false, then $$ p $$ must be true (T), because the negation of true is false and vice versa. This matches the first condition that $$ p $$ is true.
Thus, we have:
Let us verify these truth values by substituting them into $$ r $$.
If $$ p $$ is true (T), then $$ \sim p $$ is false (F).
Now, $$ \sim p \vee q = \text{F} \vee \text{F} = \text{F} $$ (since both are false).
Then, $$ r: p \rightarrow (\sim p \vee q) = \text{T} \rightarrow \text{F} $$.
We know that true implies false is false (T → F = F), which matches the given condition that $$ r $$ is false.
Therefore, the truth values of $$ p $$ and $$ q $$ are true (T) and false (F) respectively.
Looking at the options:
Option C matches T, F.
Hence, the correct answer is Option C.
