The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "The inverse of the contrapositive of p → q," we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the original statement The original statement is \( p \to q \). ### Step 2: Find the contrapositive The contrapositive of a statement \( p \to q \) is obtained by negating both the hypothesis and the conclusion, and then reversing them. - The negation of \( p \) is \( \neg p \). - The negation of \( q \) is \( \neg q \). Thus, the contrapositive of \( p \to q \) is: \[ \neg q \to \neg p \] ### Step 3: Find the inverse of the contrapositive The inverse of a statement is obtained by negating both parts of the statement. For the contrapositive \( \neg q \to \neg p \): - The negation of \( \neg q \) is \( q \). - The negation of \( \neg p \) is \( p \). Thus, the inverse of the contrapositive \( \neg q \to \neg p \) is: \[ q \to p \] ### Conclusion The inverse of the contrapositive of \( p \to q \) is: \[ q \to p \]
