Solution
L.H.S. = (p ∨ q) ∧ (~ p ∨ ~ q)
≡ [(p ∨ q)] ∧ [(p ∨ q) ∧ ~ q] ...[Distributive law]
≡ [(p ∧ ~ p) ∨ (q ∧ ~ p)] ∨ [(p ∧ ~ q) ∨ (q ∧ ~ q)] ...[Distributive law]
≡ [F ∨ (q ∧ ~ p)] ∨ [(p ∧ ~ q) ∨ F] ...[Complement law]
≡ (q ∧ ~ p) ∨ (p ∧ ~ q) ...[Identity law]
≡ (p ∧ ~ q) ∨ (~ p ∧ q) ...[Commutative law]
≡ R.H.S.
