Question
The image contains instructions and diagrams for constructing truth tables to determine logical equivalence.

**Instructions:**
- Construct a truth table for the given statement.
- Read the statement carefully.
- Use a truth table to determine whether the two statements are equivalent.

**Exercises:**

1. **Exercise 11:**
   Construct a truth table for the statement \( (q \rightarrow p) \land \neg q \).

   **Table (a):**
   - Variables: \( p \), \( q \)
   - Expressions: \( q \rightarrow p \), \( (q \rightarrow p) \land \neg q \)

   Truth table with possible combinations:
   - T T T F F T
   - T F F F F T
   - F T T F T F
   - F F T T F T

2. **Exercise 12:**
   Determine if \( p \land \neg q \) and \( \neg (p \lor q) \) are equivalent.

   **Table (b):**
   - Variables: \( p \), \( q \)
   - Expressions: \( \neg q \), \( p \land \neg q \), \( \neg (p \lor q) \)

   Truth table with possible combinations:
   - T T F F F F
   - T F T T F F
   - F T F F F T
   - F F T F F F

These tables are systematically filled out to aid in verifying the logical equivalences of the given statements.
