On one condition?
Haha...
Let's see it ^_^

anonymous · Answer

ok let me type it

anonymous · Answer

given the statement "when it rains it pours " the related statement if it pours then it rains ' it is 
A.converse
B.inverse
C.contrapositive
D.none of the above

terenzreignz · Answer

Okay... this is a one-hit question, and since anything that amounts to giving a direct answer is frowned upon, allow me this subtler hint instead ^_^

If we have the conditional statement 
"If A, (then) B"
then its...

CONVERSE is "If B, (then) A"
INVERSE is "If not A, (then) not B"
CONTRAPOSITIVE is "If not B, (then) not A"

Given these, which one fits your question the best? ^_^

anonymous · Answer

contrapositive i think

terenzreignz · Answer

keep in mind the presence of the 'not's...

terenzreignz · Answer

Here's a more direct hint:
CONDITIONAL : If it is a tomato, then it is a fruit.

CONVERSE : If it is a fruit, then it is a tomato.
INVERSE : If it is not a tomato, then it is not a fruit.
CONTRAPOSITIVE: If it is not a fruit, then it is not a tomato.

anonymous · Answer

i think contrapoisitive

terenzreignz · Answer

You should really give it a good read.

anonymous · Answer

ohhh inverse

terenzreignz · Answer

I suspect you're guessing. I will neither agree nor disagree unless you tell me why you picked your answer ^_^

anonymous · Answer

well i thought it was converse because its not B its A

terenzreignz · Answer

B and A?

anonymous · Answer

yea

terenzreignz · Answer

Let's have some terms...

CONDITIONAL: If A, then B.

A here is called the "antecedent" and B is called the "consequent"

Now,
INVERSE: If not A, then not B.
CONTRAPOSITIVE: If not B, then not A.

Note that both the inverse and contrapositive negate BOTH the erstwhile antecedent and consequent....

anonymous · Answer

so am i correct ?

terenzreignz · Answer

I said I will neither agree nor disagree... I'm trying to dissuade you from guessing ^_^

I'm also trying to point you to the correct answer, though.

Read through my previous post... carefully :)

anonymous · Answer

since its not b its a so it would be contrapositive

terenzreignz · Answer

No offense, T, but your explanations aren't making any sense ^_^
Should I define the converse, inverse, and contrapositive again?

anonymous · Answer

Okay... this is a one-hit question, and since anything that amounts to giving a direct answer is frowned upon, allow me this subtler hint instead ^_^

If we have the conditional statement 
"If A, (then) B"
then its...

CONVERSE is "If B, (then) A"
INVERSE is "If not A, (then) not B"
CONTRAPOSITIVE is "If not B, (then) not A"

Given these, which one fits your question the best? ^_^

anonymous · Answer

u said that and the question i asked i was given the statement "if your happy ,clap your hands " the related statement "if you clap your hands ,then your not happy " it is
A.converse
B.inverse
C.contrapositive
D.none

terenzreignz · Answer

Okay.... 
If A, then B.
If you're happy, clap your hands.

What are A and B here?

anonymous · Answer

A is If you're happy
B clap your hands

terenzreignz · Answer

A is "you're happy"
B is "clap your hands" yes.

Now, the statement in the question is...
If you "clap your hands" then you're not "happy"

So, which is this?

anonymous · Answer

A clap you're hands 
B then you're not happy

terenzreignz · Answer

No, A is "you're happy" still.
And B is "clap your hands"

anonymous · Answer

oh ok my bad

terenzreignz · Answer

Okay... strong hint.
Please do not overlook that in the second statement,  only "happy" is negated, but "clap your hands" isn't.

anonymous · Answer

ok

terenzreignz · Answer

Well?
Are you giving it a good deal of thought?

anonymous · Answer

im thinking converse

terenzreignz · Answer

Why?

anonymous · Answer

wait since its not b its a

terenzreignz · Answer

If A then B is "If you're happy, clap your hands"
If that's the case, then what is
"If you clap your hands, then you're not happy" ?

Read... carefully :D

anonymous · Answer

contrapositve

anonymous · Answer
