D

$\wedge, \rightarrow$

(JEE MAIN-2021)

Solution

Option $(1)$

$( p \wedge q ) \longrightarrow( p \rightarrow q )$

$=\sim(p \wedge q) \vee(\sim p \vee q)$

$=(\sim p \vee \sim q) \vee(\sim p \vee q)$

$=\sim p \vee(\sim q \vee q )$

$=\sim p \vee t$

$= t$

Option $(2)$

$( p \wedge q ) \wedge( p \vee q )=( p \wedge q )($ Not a tautology $)$

Option $(3)$

$(p \wedge q) \vee(p \rightarrow q)$

$=(p \wedge q) \vee(\sim p \vee q)$

$=\sim p \vee q$ $($ Not a tautology $)$

Option $(4)$

$=(p \wedge q) \wedge(\sim p \vee q)$

$= p \wedge q$ (Not a tautology)

Option $(1)$
