Consider the statement p : If a hexagon is regular then all its sides and angles are equal. The contrapositive of statement p is

Options

AIf all sides and angles of a hexagon are not equal then it is not regular
BIf all sides and angles of a hexagon are equal then it is regular
CIf all sides and angles of a hexagon are not equal then it is regular
DIf all sides and angles of a hexagon are equal then it is not regular

Correct answer

A. If all sides and angles of a hexagon are not equal then it is not regular

Step-by-step solution

Contrapositive of “If p then q ” is “If ~ q then ~ p ” hence contrapositive is “If all sides and angles of a hexagon are not equal then it is not regular”
