The binary operation □ is defined as follows

$P$ $Q$ $P□Q$
T T T
T F T
F T F
F F T

Which one of the following is equivalent to $P \vee Q$?

(A) $\neg Q □ &neg P$

(B) $P□\neg Q$

(C) $\neg P□Q$

(D) $\neg P□ \neg Q$

Solution by Happy Mittal

If we compare column of $P□ Q$ in table with $P ∨ Q$, we need T in $3^{rd}$ row of table and F in the fourth row, and for that we need $\neg Q$ instead of $Q$. So $P ∨ Q$ is equivalent to $P□\neg Q$.

The binary operation □ is defined as follows

P Q P□Q
T T T
T F T
F T F
F F T

(A) ¬Q&#9633¬P   (B) P&#9633¬Q   (C) ¬P&#9633Q   (D) ¬P&#9633¬Q

Solution by Happy Mittal[edit]

If we compare column of $P□Q$ in table with $P ∨ Q$, we need both $F$ in $3^{rd}$ row of table, and for that we need $¬Q$ instead of $Q$. So $P ∨ Q$ is equivalent to $P&#9633¬Q$, and therefore, option (B) is correct.
