Consider the following statements :
$P$ : Suman is brilliant
$Q$ : Suman is rich.
$R$ : Suman is honest
the negation of the statement

"Suman is brilliant and dishonest if and only if suman is rich" can be equivalently expressed as

A

$ \sim Q \leftrightarrow \, \sim P \vee R$

B

$ \sim Q \leftrightarrow \, \sim P \wedge R$

C

$ \sim Q \leftrightarrow P\, \vee  \sim R$

D

$ \sim Q \leftrightarrow P\, \wedge  \sim R$

(JEE MAIN-2015)

Solution

Suman is brilliant and dishonest can be experessed as $P \wedge  \sim R$

therefore given statement is equal to $\left( {P \wedge  \sim R} \right) \leftrightarrow Q$

Negation of the above statement is

$ \sim Q \leftrightarrow P \wedge  \sim R$
