qrq \land r is true, so q = true and r = true.

(q(¬ps))(q \to (\lnot p \lor s)) is true if (¬ps)(\lnot p \lor s) is true, which happens in all combination apart from p=true and s=false.

(¬sr)=(sr)(\lnot s \to r) =(s \lor r), since r=true, this statement always true. So following truth values make statement true - p = true and s = true, p=false and s=true, p=false and s=false.
