Final answer:

The truth value of p V q is TE-T.

Step-by-step explanation:

The truth value of p V q depends on the truth values of p and q. Given that p is true and q is false, the truth value of the statement p V q can be determined using the truth table for the OR operation:

  1. If p is true and q is true, then p V q is true.
  2. If p is true and q is false, then p V q is true.
  3. If p is false and q is true, then p V q is true.
  4. If p is false and q is false, then p V q is false.

Therefore, since p V q is true in two cases (when p is true and q is true, and when p is true and q is false), the truth value of p V q is TE-T.
