Answer:

1 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us see the correction in the rest of the statements.

3) p→q represent the original conditional statement.

4) ~q → ~p represents the contrapositive of the original conditional statement

5) contrapositive of the original conditional statement will be ~q → ~p

There is one more implication called Converse of the original conditional statement . It is represented as q→p
