1) Using rules of inferences, show that the hypotheses “If you send me an e-mail message, then
Iwill finish writing the program,” “If you do not send me an e-mail message, then | will go
to sleep early,” and “If I go to sleep early, then I will wake up feeling refreshed” lead to the
conclusion “If I do not finish writing the program, then | will wake up feeling refreshed.”
You are required to show each steps and give reasons for those steps before you come to the
desired conclusion from the hypotheses. ©

3) Prove that V2 is irrational by giving a proof by contradiction. Draw the tableau for the
formula (TVS) —+ ~Q where ~ denotes the negation of a variable, V denotes the disjunction of
variables and —* is the symbol for implication. (S+3)
4) Design a finite-state automaton that accepts only those set of strings over {a, 6) which starts
with baa. Precisely, only those strings which begin with baa should be accepted and other
strings over {a, 5) should be rejected, Your design should include the proper definition of the
finite-state automaton, transition table and the transition diagram. (34243)
