Here's the Solution to this Question

From the left hand side,

$(p\rightarrow q)\land(p\rightarrow r)\equiv(\neg p\lor q)\land(\neg p\lor r)$ (by reduction of $\rightarrow$ )

$\equiv\neg p\lor(q\land r)$ (by idempotence of $\lor$ )

$\equiv p\rightarrow(q\land r)$ (by reduction of $\rightarrow$ )

Therefore, $(p\rightarrow q)\land(p\rightarrow r)\space and \space p\rightarrow(q\land r) \\$
