Here's the Solution to this Question
Using distribution property of and operators, the given proposition may be re-written as:
(p V((q) ∧(q ∨~r) ∧(~qV~s)∧(~rV~s)∧(qV~s)))∧(~pV~qV~s)
If we choose p to be true, that is p=1, and q to be false, that is q=0, then
(p V((q) ∧(q ∨~r) ∧(~qV~s)∧(~rV~s)∧(qV~s)))∧(~pV~qV~s)
equals 1 as p=1.
Also, (~pV~qV~s) equals 1 as q=0 gives ~q=1.
Thus, we shall get the truth-value of the given proposition to be for p=1 , q=0 and and r and s may take either value 0 or 1
Thus, the given proposition is satisfiable.
