Expert Solution
Step 1

3)

We are given a conditional statement as-

“If p then q.”

A conditional statement consists of two parts, a hypothesis in the “if” clause and a conclusion in the “then” clause. 

The contrapositive of such statements is written as-

“If not q then not p.”

Also we can say that if the statement is true, then the contrapositive is also logically true. .
