Answer 8

I break it down for you option by option.
1. It is true when p is true and q is true.
When p is true and q is true the logical statement will be false as it fails the requirement of not p and q.

2.It is false when p is true and q is false.
When p is true and q is false, it satisfy the logical statement thus it should be true

3. It is false when p is false and q is true.
Same reasoning as in 2.

4. It is false when p is false and q is false.
When p is false and q is false, the logical statement will be false as it demands one of them to be true, either p or q.

Answer 9

Answer 10

@doulikepiecauseidont So what do you think the answer is

Answer 11

yes the first one means p or q and then the second one means not p or q , so which one

(p or q) and (not p and q)
That and in the middle means the both need to be true for the whole statement to be true.
Start by considering them separately. For the left statement, when is that true?
For the right statement, when is that true?
Then, consider when will they both be true?

(p or q)
When is that statement true?

not(p and q)
When is that statement true?
