A tennis magazine advertisement states:
"IfI'm not playing tennis, I'm watching tennis. And if I'm not watching tennis, I'm reading about tennis."

The speaker can only do one activity at a time (mutually exclusive).
Let $p=$ "playing tennis", $w=$ "watching tennis", $r=$ "reading about tennis."

What is the speaker doing?

  1. Playing tennis
  2. Watching tennis
  3. Reading about tennis
  4. Cannot be determined

$(\neg{p}\rightarrow{w}) \wedge(\neg{w}\rightarrow{r}) $

$(p\vee{w}) \wedge(w\vee{r}) $

$(p\wedge{r}) \vee{w}$

Playing and Reading can't happen simultaneously. So, Answer is w: watching tennis i.e. option (B) is correct.
