The contrapositive of ''If two triangles are identical, then these are similar'' is

A

if two triangles are not similar, then these are not idential

B

If two triangles are not identical, then these are similar

C

If two triangles are not similar, then these are

D

If two triangles are not similar, then these are identical

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Let p : Two triangles are identical and q : Two triangles are similar
Clearly, the given statement in symbolic form is `p to q`. So, its contrapositive is given by `~q to ~ p`.
i.e. if two triangles are not similar, then these are not identical.
