The inverse of the statement p - q can be written as ~p - ~q.

The statement p - q represents "If a number is doubled, the result is even."


p\Rightarrow q

The above translate to "if p then q"

p = a number is doubled

q = the result is even

This means the inverse would be;


\urcorner p\Rightarrow\urcorner q

The correct answer is; ~p → ~q where p = a number is doubled and q = the result is even

Option A
