Using a Truth Table
Suppose one of your employees reports to you that
Solution
Let p be the statement , p: We keep the account with Widgetco
Let q be statement, q: We deal with Acme
Now let us write the statements in our symbolic language:
Statement 1 means: ~q -> p
Statement 2 means : ~p v q
Now we will construct the Truth table for these statements and see if the columns for both the statements are equal or not
Now from Truth table we see that two entries in last two columns of statements differ and hence \"They are giving different advice\"
| p | q | ~p | ~q | ~q->p | ~pVq | 
| T | T | F | F | T | T | 
| T | F | F | T | T | F | 
| F | T | T | F | T | T | 
| F | F | T | T | F | T |
