Solution
Let p : D is dog.
q : D is very good.
Then the given statement in the symbolic form is
- p → q
- q → p
- ~q → ~p
- ~p → ~q
| p | q | ~p | ~q | p → q | q → p | ~q → ~p | ~p → ~q |
| T | T | F | F | T | T | T | T |
| T | F | F | T | F | T | F | T |
| F | T | T | F | T | F | T | F |
| F | F | T | T | T | T | T | T |
Since the entries in (i) and (iii) columns are the same, they have the same meaning.
Also, the entries in (ii) and (iv) columns are the same. they have the same meaning.
