A

The examination is difficult and I study hard and I shall pass

B

The examination is difficult and I study hard but I shall not pass

C

D

None of these

Solution

(b) $p :$ examination is difficult,
$q :$ I shall pass,
$r :$ I study hard
Given result is :  $p \Rightarrow (r \Rightarrow q)$
Now $\sim(r \Rightarrow q)$ $= r \wedge \sim q$
$\sim(p \Rightarrow (r \Rightarrow q)) \equiv p \wedge (r\; \wedge \sim\,q)$
The examination is difficult and I study hard but I shall not pass.
