The following statements "If you are wearing green, you are Irish." and "If you are not Irish, you are not wearing green." are an example of a _____ statement.Select one:a.Inverseb.Contrapositivec.Converse

Answer 1

According to the given statement, we can conclude that it is a contrapositive statement.

This is because the hypothesis and the conclusion are switched and the opposite of them are considered.

If you are wearing green is the hypothesis (p).

You are Irish is the conclusion (q).

Here we are considering the opposite of both (~p, ~q) but switched, that is why we say it is a contrapositive statement.
