Question

Let $p$ and $q$ be two statements
$p:$ It is hot.

$q:$ It is summer.

Then meaning of $p\vee q$

• A. It is hot or it is summer.
• B. It is hot and it is summer.
• C. If it is hot then it is summer.
• D. It is hot if and only if it is summer.

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

It is hot or it is summer.

Union of two events implies either one happens or the other.

So, here $p\vee q$ means either $p$ or $q$.

Hence, $A$ is correct.
