Let A , B , C and D be four non-empty sets. The contrapositive statement of “If A ⊆ B and B ⊆ D , then A ⊆ C ” is
Options
- AIf A ⊈ C , then A ⊆ B and B ⊆ D
- BIf A ⊆ C , then B ⊂ A and D ⊂ B
- CIf A ⊈ C , then A ⊈ B and B ⊆ D
- DIf A ⊈ C , then A ⊈ B or B ⊈ D
Correct answer
D. If A ⊈ C , then A ⊈ B or B ⊈ D
Step-by-step solution
Let P = A ⊆ B , Q = B ⊆ D , R = A ⊆ C Contrapositive of P ∧ Q → R is ~ R → ~ P ∧ Q = ~ R → ~ P ∨ ~ Q
