View Solution




We are given the expression \( p \land (q \land \neg (p \land q)) \), and we need to find its negation.

Step 1: Apply De Morgan’s Law to \( \neg (p \land (q \land \neg (p \land q))) \). \[ \neg [ p \land (q \land \neg (p \land q)) ] = \neg p \lor \neg (q \land \neg (p \land q)). \]

Step 2: Simplify \( \neg (q \land \neg (p \land q)) \). \[ \neg (q \land \neg (p \land q)) = \neg q \lor \neg \neg (p \land q) = \neg q \lor (p \land q). \]

Thus, the final negation is: \[ \neg p \lor (\neg q \lor (p \land q)) = (\neg (p \land q)) \lor p. \]

Hence, the correct answer is \( (\neg (p \land q)) \lor p \).
