Question

Refer to the following conditional statement:

If a and b are odd integers, then a – b is an even integer.

State the inverse of the statement.

A.
If a – b is an even integer, then a and b are odd integers.


B.
a – b is an even integer


C.
If a – b is not an even integer, then a and b are not odd integers.


D.
If a and b are not odd integers, then a – b is not an even integer.

Answer 1

The inverse of p--> q is the statement ~p -->~q.

Both the hypothesis and the conclusion of the original implication are negated.
