Question
Consider the following propositions.
\[\begin{array}{*{20}{l}} {p{\text{: The car is under warranty}}} \\ {q{\text{: The car is less than 2 years old}}} \\ {r{\text{ : The car has been driven more than 20}}\,{\text{000 km}}} \end{array}\]
Write down in words \((q \vee \neg r) \Rightarrow p\).
Complete the truth table.
State whether the statement \(\neg p \Rightarrow \neg (q \vee \neg r)\) is the inverse, the converse or the contrapositive of the statement in part (a).
Markscheme
if the car is less than 2 years old or the car has not been driven more than \(20\,000{\text{ km}}\), then the car is under warranty (A1)(A1)(A1) (C3)
Note: Award (A1) for if …, then …, (A1) for “or”, (A1) for correct statements in correct order. Accept “If the car has not been driven more than \(20\,000{\text{ km}}\) or the car is less than 2 years old, then the car is under warranty”. Accept logical equivalent wording for each proposition, eg “less than \(20\,000{\text{ km}}\)”.

(A1)(A1)(ft) (C2)
Note: Award (A1) for \(q \vee \neg r\) column correct and (A1)(ft) for \((q \vee \neg r) \Rightarrow p\) column correct. Follow through from their \(q \vee \neg r\) column.
