Q14 / 69 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Mathematics · Mathematical Reasoning

If p and q are two statements, then which of the following statements is not equivalent to p⇔p⇒q?

  • A
    p∧q
  • B
    p⇔q∧p∨q
  • C
    q⇒p⇔q
  • Correct answer
    D
    ~q⇒p∧p⇒~q

Solution

p q p⇒q p⇔p⇒q
T T T T
T F F F
F T T F
F F T F

⇒p⇔p⇒q≡p∧q⇒A is true
Now, q⇔q⇒p≡p∧q≡p∧q
⇒q⇒p⇒q≡p∧q⇒C is true
Now, common between
p⇔q & p∨q is
p∧q⇒p⇔q∧p∨q≡p∧q
⇒B is correct
Now, ~q⇒p∧p⇒~q≡q∨p∧~p∨~q
= Only p or only q≡~p⇔q

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
