State the converse, inverse and contrapositive of the following conditional statements:

i. If it rains then the match will be cancelled.

ii. If a function is differentiable then it is continuous.

i. Let p : It rains, q : the match will be cancelled.

\(\therefore\)The symbolic form of the given statement is p\(\rightarrow\)q.

Converse: q\(\rightarrow\)p

i.e., If the match is cancelled then it rains.

Inverse: ~p\(\rightarrow\)~q

i.e., If it does not rain then the match will not be cancelled.

Contrapositive: ~q\(\rightarrow\)~p i.e. If the match is not cancelled then it does not rain.

ii. Let p: A function is differentiable,

q: It is continuous.

\(\therefore\)The symbolic form of the given statement is p\(\rightarrow\)q.

Converse: q\(\rightarrow\)p

i.e. If a function is continuous then it is differentiable.

Inverse: ~p\(\rightarrow\)~q

i.e. If a function is not differentiable then it is not continuous.

Contrapositive: ~q\(\rightarrow\)~p

i.e. If a function is not continuous then it is not differentiable.

iii. Let p: Surface area decreases,

q: The pressure increases.

\(\therefore\)The symbolic form of the given statement is p\(\rightarrow\)q

Converse: q\(\rightarrow\)p

i.e. If the pressure increases then the surface area decreases.

Inverse: ~p\(\rightarrow\)~q

i.e. If the surface area does not decrease then the pressure does not increase.

Contrapositive: ~q\(\rightarrow\) ~p

i.e. If the pressure does not increase then the surface area does not decrease.

iv. Let p: A sequence is bounded,

q: It is convergent.

\(\therefore\)The symbolic form of the given statement is p\(\rightarrow\)q

Converse: q\(\rightarrow\)p

i.e. If a sequence is convergent then it is bounded.

Inverse: ~p\(\rightarrow\)~q

i.e. If a sequence is not bounded then it is not convergent.

Contrapositive: ~q\(\rightarrow\)~p

i.e. If a sequence is not convergent then it is not bounded.
