Use the logical equivalence laws and/or logical reasoning rules to prove that eachof the following arguments is valid. **Logical Proof Problems**The image presents two logical proof problems labeled (a) and (b). Each problem involves multiple premises leading to a conclusion. Here is a detailed transcription and explanation:### a) Logical Proof Problem**Premises:**1. \( p \rightarrow (q \land r) \)2. \( \neg q \rightarrow \neg r \)3. \( \neg r \)**Conclusion:**\[ \therefore \neg p \]#### Explanation:- \( p \rightarrow (q \land r) \): If \( p \) is true, then both \( q \) and \( r \) are true.- \( \neg q \rightarrow \neg r \): If \( q \) is false, then \( r \) is false.- \( \neg r \): \( r \) is false.The goal is to derive \( \neg p \) (that \( p \) is false) given the above premises.### b) Logical Proof Problem**Premises:**1. \( \neg p \land q \)2. \( \neg (p \lor r) \rightarrow s \)3. \( r \rightarrow p \)**Conclusion:**\[ \therefore s \]#### Explanation:- \( \neg p \land q \): \( p \) is false and \( q \) is true.- \( \neg (p \lor r) \rightarrow s \): If neither \( p \) nor \( r \) is true, then \( s \) is true.- \( r \rightarrow p \): If \( r \) is true, then \( p \) is true.The goal is to derive \( s \) (that \( s \) is true) given the above premises. These problems involve the use of logical deductions to reach the conclusion from the given premises using rules of inference.
