Which one of the following is NOT logically equivalent to ¬∃x(∀y(α) ∧ ∀z(β))?
Correct Answer: D
Question 34 Explanation:
Option A:
∀x(∃z(¬β) → ∀y(α))
⇒ ∀x(¬∃z(¬β) ∨ ∀y(α))
⇒ ∀x(∀z(β)∨y(α))
⇒ ¬∃x¬(∀z(β)∨∀y(α))
⇒ ¬∃x(¬∀z(β)∧¬∀y(α))
A is Not equivalent to the given.
∀x(∃z(¬β) → ∀y(α))
⇒ ∀x(¬∃z(¬β) ∨ ∀y(α))
⇒ ∀x(∀z(β)∨y(α))
⇒ ¬∃x¬(∀z(β)∨∀y(α))
⇒ ¬∃x(¬∀z(β)∧¬∀y(α))
A is Not equivalent to the given.
Option B:
∀x(∀z(β)→∃y(¬α))
⇒ ∀x(¬∀z(β)∨∃y(¬α))
⇒ ¬∃x¬(¬∀z(β)∨∃y(¬α))
⇒ ¬∃x(∀z(β)∨∀y(α))
B is Matching and equivalent to given.
Option C:
∀x(∀y(α)→∃z(¬β))
⇒ ∀x(¬∀y(α)∨∃z(¬β))
⇒ ¬∃x¬(¬∀y(α)∨∃z(¬β))
⇒ ¬∃x(∀y(α)∧z(β))
C is equivalent to the given.
Option D:
∀x(∃y(¬α)→∃z(¬β))
⇒ ∀x(¬∃y(¬α)∨∃z(β))
⇒ ∀x(∀y(α)∨∃z(β))
⇒ ¬∃x¬(∀y(α)∨∃z(β))
⇒ ¬∃x(¬∀y(α)∧¬∃z(β))
⇒ ¬∃x(¬∀y(α)∧∀z(¬β))
So D is Not equivalent to the given.
∀x(∃z(¬β)→∀y(α))
∀x(∀z(β)→∃y(¬α))
∀x(∀y(α)→∃z(¬β))
∀x(∃y(¬α)→∃z(¬β))
