Consider the statement p : If a cylinder is right circular cylinder then its volume is 1 3 π r 2 h . Contrapositive of the statement p is

Options

  1. AIf the volume of a cylinder is 1 3 π r 2 h then it is not right circular cylinder
  2. BIf the volume of a cylinder is not 1 3 π r 2 h then it is not right circular cylinder
  3. CIf a cylinder is not right circular cylinder then its volume is not 1 3 π r 2 h
  4. DVolume can’t be 1 3 π r 2 h

Correct answer

B. If the volume of a cylinder is not 1 3 π r 2 h then it is not right circular cylinder

Step-by-step solution

Contrapositive of “ p → q ” is “ ~ q → ~ p ” Hence, the contrapositive of the given statement is: If the volume of a cylinder is not 1 3 π r 2 h then it is not right circular cylinder
