Solution
| p | q | r | ~q | ~q∨r | q→r | p→(q→r) | p→(~q∨r) | ~[p→(q→r)] | [p→(~q∨r)]↔~[p → (q → r)] |
| T | T | T | F | T | T | T | T | F | F |
| T | T | F | F | F | F | F | F | T | F |
| T | F | T | T | T | T | T | T | F | F |
| T | F | F | T | T | T | T | T | F | F |
| F | T | T | F | T | T | T | T | F | F |
| F | T | F | F | F | F | T | T | F | F |
| F | F | T | T | T | T | T | T | F | F |
| F | F | F | T | T | T | T | T | F | F |
All the truth values in the last column are F. Hence, it is contradiction.
