Correct answer
AIf you are not a citizen of India, then you are
not born in India.
Step-by-step explanation
Let p = you are born in India.
q = you are a citizen of India.
p = you are not born in India.
q = you are not a citizen of India.
We know Contrapositive of p q is ~q ~p
So contrapositive of statement will be :
“If you are not a citizen of India, then you are not born in India.”
q = you are a citizen of India.
p = you are not born in India.
q = you are not a citizen of India.
We know Contrapositive of p q is ~q ~p
So contrapositive of statement will be :
“If you are not a citizen of India, then you are not born in India.”
