Let $P$, $Q$, and $R$ be statement variables. Suppose the logical expression
$(((neg$$P$) $leftrightarrow$ $Q$) $rightarrow$ $R$) $vee$ ($P$ $leftrightarrow$ $R$)
is FALSE.
What are the possible truth values for $P$, $Q$, and $R$?

Both $(neg Pleftrightarrow Q)to R$ and $Pleftrightarrow R$ must be false. The latter is false only when $P=1,R=0$ or $P=0,R=1$.
For the former to be false, $R=0,neg Pleftrightarrow Q=1$. This leaves you with $P=1,R=0$. Now try out $Q=0,1$ to see which one makes $neg Pleftrightarrow Q=1$.
You should get $P=1,R=0,Q=0$.

The easiest (and also most tedious) route is to just make a truth table for that compound statement and see which values of $P$, $Q$ and $R$ make it false.
