Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given clauses C1: (P ∨ Q) and C2: (¬P ∨ R), resolve these and provide the correct resolvent. Then explain why the notion of truth matters in determining the validity of the argument.

💡 Hint: Look closely at the common literals before resolving.

Challenge 2 Hard

Construct a set of clauses that would lead to the empty clause. Then analyze what this implies regarding the arguments established.

💡 Hint: Think about how contradictions function in logic.
