Question

state the contrapositive and converse. If m2 is divisible by 3, then mis divisible by 3.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Suppose, there is a conditional statement of the form,

"If P then Q"

Then, the converse of this conditional statement is given by,

"If Q then P"

And the contrapositive of the conditional statement is given by,

"If not Q then not P"

Now, consider the given statement,

"If m2 is divisible by 3, then m is divisible by 3"

Here,

P: m2 is divisible by 3  Q: m is divisible by 3
