The correct answer is: irrespective of status of the switches
$[\sim p \vee(p \wedge \sim q)] \vee q$
$=[(\sim p \vee p) \wedge(\sim p \vee \sim q)] \vee q$
$E[T \wedge(\sim p \vee \sim q)] \vee q$
$\equiv(\sim p \vee \sim q) \vee q$
$\equiv \sim p \vee(\sim q \vee q) \equiv \sim p \vee T \equiv T$
This shows that current flows irrespective of status of the switches.
