Let $$P, Q$$ and $$R$$ be three atomic prepositional assertions. Let $$X$$ denotes $$\left( {P \vee Q} \right) \to R$$ and $$Y$$ denote $$\left( {P \to R} \right) \vee \left( {Q \to R} \right)$$.

Which one of the following is a tautology?

The following propositional statement is $$$\left( {P \to \left( {Q \vee R} \right)} \right) \to \left( {\left( {P \wedge Q} \right) \to R} \right)$$$

Let $$p, q, r$$ and $$s$$ be four primitive statements. Consider the following arguments:

$$P:\left[ {\left( {\neg p \vee q} \right) \wedge \left( {r \to s} \right) \wedge \left( {p \vee r} \right)} \right] \to \left( {\neg s \to q} \right)$$
$$Q:\left[ {\left( {\neg p \wedge q} \right) \wedge \left[ {q \to \left( {p \to r} \right)} \right]} \right] \to \neg r$$
$$R:\left[ {\left[ {\left( {q \wedge r} \right) \to p} \right] \wedge \left( {\neg q \vee p} \right)} \right] \to r$$
$$S:\left[ {p \wedge \left( {p \to r} \right) \wedge \left( {q \vee \neg r} \right)} \right] \to q$$

Which of the above arguments are valid?

The following resolution rule is used in logic programming. Derive clause $$\left( {P \vee Q} \right)$$ from clauses $$\left( {P \vee R} \right)$$, $$\left( {Q \vee \neg R} \right)$$.

Which of the following statements related to this rule is FALSE?
