Conditional Statements and Equivalence

Question 29 • 2026-2027_MDCPS_1206315_Geometry Sem 1

Given the conditional statement: p → ~q Choose the logically equivalent statement.

Answer
A
p → q
B
~p → q
C
q → p
D
q → ~p

Explanation

The contrapositive of a conditional reverses the hypothesis and conclusion and negates both. For p → ~q, the contrapositive is q → ~p, which is logically equivalent to the original statement. Therefore, the equivalent statement is “q → ~p.”
