Answer

Final Answer: The truth value for the statement when $p$ is true, $q$ is false, and $r$ is false is \(\boxed{True}\).

Steps

Step 1 :The given statement is a logical implication, which is true except for the case where the antecedent (the part before the arrow) is true and the consequent (the part after the arrow) is false.

Step 2 :In this case, $q$ is false and $(p \land r)$ is also false (since $r$ is false).

Step 3 :Therefore, the statement is true because a false antecedent makes the implication true.

Step 4 :Final Answer: The truth value for the statement when $p$ is true, $q$ is false, and $r$ is false is \(\boxed{True}\).
