The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the two statements given: 1. **Statement P**: If you are born in India, then you are a citizen of India. 2. **Statement Q**: If you are not a citizen of India, then you were not born in India. ### Step 1: Understand Statement P Statement P can be expressed in logical terms as: - Let A represent "You are born in India." - Let B represent "You are a citizen of India." - Thus, Statement P can be written as: \[ A \implies B \] This means that if A is true (you are born in India), then B must also be true (you are a citizen of India). ### Step 2: Understand Statement Q Statement Q can also be expressed in logical terms: - The negation of B (not a citizen of India) is represented as \(\neg B\). - The negation of A (not born in India) is represented as \(\neg A\). - Thus, Statement Q can be written as: \[ \neg B \implies \neg A \] This means that if you are not a citizen of India, then you were not born in India. ### Step 3: Analyze the Relationship Between P and Q To determine if statements P and Q are logically equivalent, we can use the concept of contrapositive. The contrapositive of a statement \(A \implies B\) is \(\neg B \implies \neg A\). - The contrapositive of Statement P (\(A \implies B\)) is: \[ \neg B \implies \neg A \] This is exactly the same as Statement Q. ### Conclusion Since the contrapositive of Statement P is equivalent to Statement Q, we can conclude that both statements are logically equivalent. Therefore, the correct answer is that Statement Q is the contrapositive of Statement P. ### Final Answer The correct conclusion is that Statement Q is the contrapositive of Statement P. ---
