0. Consider the first-order logic sentence
F: ∀ x (∃ y R(x,y)).
Assuming non-empty logical domains, which of the sentences below are implied by F?
I. ∃y (∃x R(x,y)) II. ∃y (∀x R(x,y)) III. ∀y (∃x R(x,y)) IV. ∼∃x (∀y ~R(x,y))

  • Option : B
  • Explanation :
    ∀x(∃yR(x,y)) ⇒ ∃y∃xR(x,y)
    ∃y∀xR(x,y) ⇒ ∀x∃yR(x,y)
    ∀x∃yR(x,y) ⇏ ∃y∀xR(x,y)
    -∃x(∀y - R(x,y)) ⇔ ∀x∃yR(x,y)
