The statement "If (p ∧ q) is True, then if p is false then q is true" is true.

We know that (p ∧ q) is true, which means that both p and q are true. If p were false, then (p ∧ q) would be false, which contradicts our initial assumption. Therefore, we can conclude that p must be true.

Now, if p is true, then the conditional statement "if p is false then q is true" is vacuously true, since the antecedent (p is false) is false.

Therefore, the statement "If (p ∧ q) is True, then if p is false then q is true" is true.

The first statement, "p is false and q is true," cannot be determined from the fact that (p ∧ q) is true, since there are other possibilities for p and q to be true simultaneously.
