Solution

The correct option is A F T F
As given that (pq)(qr) is false, it means
pq must be true and qr must be false.
Now, as (qr) is false so, q must be true and r must be false and p can be true or false.

Hence, the truth values of statement p,q,r will be F T F or T T F respectively.

Alternate Solution:
pqrpqqr(pq)(qr)TTTTTTTTFTFFTFTFTTTFFFTTFTTTTTFTFTFFFFTTTTFFFTTT

Clearly, from truth table
(pq)(qr) is false when truth values of statement p,q,r are F T F or T T F respectively.
