Don't know what you want because you have no symbol of any kind between p and q.

Given p = false and q = true.

If p then q is false

p and q is false

p or q is true

p if and only if q is false.

I assume q p implies q AND p? If so, then the only way for a conditional AND to be TRUE is if BOTH statements are TRUE, otherwise the conditional AND is FALSE. Since p is false, q AND p is FALSE.
