Question

conditional statements and equivalence
if an original conditional statement is represented by p → q, which represents the contrapositive?
∼p →∼q
∼q →∼p
p → q
q → p

Explanation:

The contrapositive of a conditional statement \(p
ightarrow q\) is formed by negating both \(p\) and \(q\) and reversing their order. So the contrapositive of \(p
ightarrow q\) is \(\sim q
ightarrow\sim p\).

Answer:

B. \(\sim q
ightarrow\sim p\)
