The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular. The contrapositive of the above statement is

A

If the figure is not a rhombus, then its diagonals are not perpendicular .

B

If the diagonals are perpendicular,then the figure is a rhombus

C

If the digonals are not perpendicular, then the figure is a rhombus.

D

If the diagonals are not perpendicular, then the figure is not a rhombus

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Let p and q be the statements given by
p : Figure is a rhombus, q : Diagonals are perpendicular Then, the given statement is ` p toq `
the contrapositive of this statement is
` ~ q to ~ p`
i.e if the diagonals are not perpendicular, then the figure is not a rhombus.
