A sample poll of 135 voters revealed the following information in favour of three A ,B and C of a certain political party in Abia state. 60 were in favour of B; 23 were in favour of A alone; 17 were in favour of C alone; 10 were sitting on the fence; 55 were in favour of exactly two candidates; 61 were in favour of exactly one candidate; 46 were in favour of candidate A and at least one other candidate.
How many people were in favour of
(a) both B and C
(b) A and B only?
(c) A or C

Given that D={a, b, c, d} and R is the relation of D that has the matrix D= 0 0 0 1

1 0 0 0

1 0 1 1

1 1 0 1

Find the relation R and the digraph of R


  1. If the truth value of P ⊕ Q in 2^3 is 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 then what is P <=> Q ins 2^3?
  2. If the truth value for P v Q (P or Q) in 2^3 is: 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 then what is the truth value for P => Q in 2^3?
  3. List all the Premises and Conclusion in the following argument: Either Alfred or Bill (or both) will go to the party. If Bill goes and Claire does not then Dinah will go. Claire will go if Alfred does not go. Therefore Dinah will go.
  4. List all the Propositions in the following argument: Either Alfred or Bill (or both) will go to the party. If Bill goes and Claire does not then Dinah will go. Claire will go if Alfred does not go. Therefore Dinah will go.
  5. Translate the logical expression into English. P: Today is Thursday. Q: Tomorrow is Saturday. R: I will get paid. ~(P ∧ Q) => ~ R

State the value of x after the statement if P(x) then x:=1 is executed, where P(x) is the statement

“x > 1,”

Given that thevalue of x when thisstatement is reachedis [3 marks]

a) x=0

b) x=1

c) x =2


A) Let A={1,2,3,4}A={1,2,3,4} and R a relations on A whose matrices is M= ⎡⎣⎢⎢⎢1010111000101011⎤⎦⎥⎥⎥[1101010011110001],                      
1) Show that (A,R)(A,R) is a poset                        (5 pts) 2) Find maximal, minimal, least and greatest if they exist    (4 pts)

Use a short truth table to determine whether or not the following argument is valid.



(K & ~C) -> ~(P & R)


J -> (K & P)


A -> (P & R)


Thus, (A & J) -> C

Question 1 options:


Valid


Invalid, with R = false, P = true


Invalid, with A = true, K = true


Invalid, with J = true, R = true


Invalid, with P = true, C is false



Use a short truth table to determine whether or not the following argument is valid.



E -> J


B -> Q


D -> (J & ~Q)


Thus, (E & B) -> D

Question 2 options:


Valid


Invalid, with J is false, Q is true.


Invalid, with D is true, B is false.


Invalid, with D is false, B is true.


Invalid, with E is false, Q is true.



Use a short truth table to determine whether or not the following argument is valid.


~S -> ~(Q v G)

(Q v S) & (G v ~N)

(N v ~S) -> L

So, S & ~N

Question 3 options:


Valid


Invalid when L is true, S is false.


Invalid when N is false, S is false.


Invalid when Q is false, S is true.


Invalid when S is true, G is false.
