Expert Solution
Step 1

We are given logical statements and we are going to prove if they are logically equivalent. We will be using truth table to confirm if the statements are equivalent or not. 

For making the truth table for the given statements, we will put all possible values for the variables p,q,r  like  (true, true), (true,false),.. and we will do it for each statement. 

I have solved both the parts and have uploaded image for the solution . I hope it helps.
