(a) The boolean expression:
x>50!(y<0)
x>50| |!(y<0)

is equivalent to which of the following expression:
(i) ! (!(x>50)(y<0))(!(x>50) \|(y<0))
(ii) x>50&&y<0x>50 \& \& y<0
(iii) x>50y<0x>50| | y<0
(iv) ! (( ! (x>50)&&(y<0))(x>50) \& \&(y<0))

Solution by Steps
step 2
The expression ¬(y<0) \neg(y < 0) is equivalent to y0 y \geq 0 , so we have x>50y0 x > 50 \lor y \geq 0
step 3
The expression x>50y0 x > 50 \lor y \geq 0 is equivalent to x>50(y<0) x > 50 \lor (y < 0) being false, which leads us to ¬(¬(x>50)(y<0)) \neg(\neg(x > 50) \land (y < 0))
step 4
Therefore, the equivalent expression can be represented as ¬(¬(x>50)(y<0)) \neg(\neg(x > 50) \land (y < 0)) , which matches option (iv)
