a)


(p^~q) ^ r


(T^~F) ^ F            Plug in the given truth values


(T^T) ^ F             Negate false (F) to get true (T)


(T) ^ F               Use a truth table to evaluate T^T to get T


F                     Use a truth table to evaluate T^F to get F

So (p^~q) ^ r is false

-------------------------------------

b)


 ~(q v ~r)


~(F v ~F)             Plug in the given truth values


~(F v T)              Negate false (F) to get true (T)


~(T)                  Use a truth table to evaluate F v T to get T


F                     Negate true (T) to get false (F)

So ~(q v ~r) is false
