### Logical Equivalence and Reasoning in Propositional Logic**Objective:**Use the logical equivalence laws and/or logical reasoning rules to prove that each of the following arguments is valid.#### a) Argument ValidationGiven:1. \( p \rightarrow q \)2. \( q \rightarrow r \)3. \( \neg r \)Conclusion:\[ \therefore \neg p \]Proof:- Using Modus Ponens on \( p \rightarrow q \) and \( q \rightarrow r \), we can derive \( p \rightarrow r \).- Given \( \neg r \), by Modus Tollens on \( p \rightarrow r \), we can conclude \( \neg p \).Hence, the argument is valid.#### b) Argument ValidationGiven:1. \( \neg p \land q \)2. \( \neg(p \lor r) \rightarrow s \)3. \( r \rightarrow p \)Conclusion:\[ \therefore s \]Proof:- From \( \neg p \land q \), we can deduce \( \neg p \) and \( q \).- From \( r \rightarrow p \) and \( \neg p \), by Modus Tollens, we get \( \neg r \).- Now, \( \neg(p \lor r) \) simplifies to \( \neg p \land \neg r \).- Therefore, substituting \( \neg p \land \neg r \) into \( \neg(p \lor r) \rightarrow s \), we can conclude \( s \).Hence, the argument is valid.
