The correct Answer is:
To find the contrapositive of the statement "If the weather is fine then my friends will come and we go for a picnic," we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the components of the statement Let: - \( p \): "The weather is fine" - \( q \): "My friends will come" - \( r \): "We go for a picnic" The original statement can be expressed as: \[ p \implies (q \land r) \] ### Step 2: Write the contrapositive The contrapositive of a statement of the form "If A then B" is "If not B then not A." In our case: - \( A \) is \( p \) (the weather is fine) - \( B \) is \( q \land r \) (my friends will come and we go for a picnic) Thus, the contrapositive will be: \[ \neg (q \land r) \implies \neg p \] ### Step 3: Apply De Morgan's Law Using De Morgan's Law, we know that: \[ \neg (q \land r) = \neg q \lor \neg r \] So we can rewrite the contrapositive as: \[ (\neg q \lor \neg r) \implies \neg p \] ### Step 4: Interpret the contrapositive This means: "If my friends do not come or we do not go for a picnic, then the weather is not fine." ### Final Answer The contrapositive of the statement "If the weather is fine then my friends will come and we go for a picnic" is: "If my friends do not come or we do not go for a picnic, then the weather is not fine." ---
