Let's break down the given problem, step by step.

### Part A: Determine truth values for the logical expressions

We are given the following truth assignments:
- \( A = \text{False} \)
- \( B = \text{True} \)
- \( C = \text{False} \)
- \( D = \text{True} \)

We will evaluate each expression based on these truth values.

#### a. \[ \left( (C \to B) \to \neg C \right) \leftrightarrow \left( B \to (C \land A) \right) \]

- \( C \to B \) means "if \( C \), then \( B \)". Since \( C = \text{False} \), \( C \to B \) is **True** (implication is true when the premise is false).
- \( \neg C \) is the negation of \( C \), so \( \neg C = \text{True} \).
- \( (C \to B) \to \neg C \): \( \text{True} \to \text{True} = \text{True} \).
- \( C \land A \) is the conjunction of \( C \) and \( A \). Since both \( C = \text{False} \) and \( A = \text{False} \), \( C \land A = \text{False} \).
- \( B \to (C \land A) \): Since \( B = \text{True} \) and \( C \land A = \text{False} \), \( B \to \text{False} = \text{False} \).

So, the expression becomes:  
\( \text{True} \leftrightarrow \text{False} = \text{False} \).

#### b. \[ \left( D \land B \right) \lor \left( A \land C \right) \land B \]

- \( D \land B \): Since \( D = \text{True} \) and \( B = \text{True} \), \( D \land B = \text{True} \).
- \( A \land C \): Since both \( A = \text{False} \) and \( C = \text{False} \), \( A \land C = \text{False} \).
- \( \left( A \land C \right) \land B \): \( \text{False} \land B = \text{False} \).
- So, \( \left( D \land B \right) \lor \left( A \land C \right) \land B = \text{True} \lor \text{False} = \text{True} \).

#### c. \[ \left( A \lor B \right) \to C \to \left( B \to (A \lor B) \right) \]

- \( A \lor B \): Since \( A = \text{False} \) and \( B = \text{True} \), \( A \lor B = \text{True} \).
- \( (A \lor B) \to C \): \( \text{True} \to \text{False} = \text{False} \).
- \( A \lor B = \text{True} \), and \( B = \text{True} \), so \( B \to (A \lor B) \) is \( \text{True} \to \text{True} = \text{True} \).

So, the expression becomes:  
\( \text{False} \to \text{True} = \text{True} \).

### Part B: Constructing truth tables

For Part B, we need to construct truth tables for the given expressions. Let's first write them out clearly.

#### a. \[ \left( p \lor q \right) \to r \land \left( \left( r \land p \right) \to r \right) \]

This involves 3 variables \( p \), \( q \), and \( r \), so the truth table will have 8 rows (since \( 2^3 = 8 \)).

#### b. \[ \left( r \land p \right) \to \left[ \left( p \lor q \right) \to \neg p \land \left( p \lor q \right) \right] \]

This also involves 3 variables \( p \), \( q \), and \( r \), so it will have 8 rows as well.
