If x = 6 and y = - 2 then x - 2 y = 9 . The contrapositive of this statement is

Options

  1. AIf x - 2 y ≠ 9 then x ≠ 6 or y ≠ - 2
  2. BIf x - 2 y ≠ 9 then x ≠ 6 and y ≠ - 2
  3. CIf x - 2 y = 9 then x = 6 and y = - 2
  4. DNone of these

Correct answer

A. If x - 2 y ≠ 9 then x ≠ 6 or y ≠ - 2

Step-by-step solution

Let p , q , r be the three statements such that p : x = 6 ,   q : y = - 2 and r : x - 2 y = 9 Here given statement is p ∧ q → r and its contrapositive is ~ r → ~ p ∧ q i.e. ∼ r → ∼ p ∨ ∼ q i.e. if x - 2 y ≠ 9 then x ≠ 6 or y ≠ - 2
