Question

Which of the following represents the converse of an original conditional statement p-q?

A) ~p-~q
B) ~q-~p
C) q - p
D) op-q

Answer 1

The converse of an original conditional statement p-q is represented by the option B) ~q-~p.

Step-by-step explanation:

The converse of an original conditional statement p-q is represented by the option B) ~q-~p.

In a conditional statement, the first part, p, is called the hypothesis and the second part, q, is called the conclusion. The converse of the conditional statement switches the positions of the hypothesis and conclusion.

For example, if the original statement is "If it is raining, then the ground is wet" (p-q), the converse would be "If the ground is wet, then it is raining" (~q-~p).
