    The false statement in the following is [Karnataka CET 2002]

    A)                 \[p\wedge (\tilde{\ }p)\] is a contradiction

    B)                 \[(p\Rightarrow q)\Leftrightarrow (\tilde{\ }q\Rightarrow \ \tilde{\ }p)\] is a contradiction

    C)                 \[\tilde{\ }(\tilde{\ }p)\Leftrightarrow p\] is a tautology

    D)                 \[p\vee (\tilde{\ }p)\]Û is a tautology

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       \[p\Rightarrow q\] is logically equivalent to \[\tilde{\ }q\Rightarrow \ \tilde{\ }p\]                 \ \[(p\Rightarrow q)\Leftrightarrow (\tilde{\ }q\Rightarrow \ \tilde{\ }p)\] is a tautology but not a contradiction.
