Question

Which is logically equivalent to the converse of a conditional statement?

the original conditional statement
the inverse of the original conditional statement
the contrapositive of the original conditional statement
the converse of the converse statement

Answer 1

The inverse of the original conditional statement.

Reason: If the original is p -> q, the converse is q -> p and its contrapositive is ¬p -> ¬q, which is the inverse. A statement is always logically equivalent to its contrapositive, so the converse and the inverse are equivalent.
