The correct answer is:
$\mathrm{T}, \mathrm{F}, \mathrm{T}$
As the truth table for the $(p \wedge \sim q) \wedge(p \wedge r)$ $\rightarrow \sim p \vee q$ is false, then only possible values of $(p, q, r)$ is $(T, F, T)$
$\begin{array}{llllll}p & q & r & \sim q & p \wedge \sim q & p \wedge r \\ \sim p & \sim p \vee q & (p \wedge \sim q) \wedge(p \wedge r)(p \wedge \sim q) \wedge(p \wedge r) \\ \rightarrow \sim p \vee q\end{array}$
