Section: _______________ Subject Teacher: _________________
PART I. Determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, change the underlined
word to make it true. (2 points each)
__________________ 1. If a conditional statement is true, its contrapositive is always true.
__________________ 2. If a conditional statement is true, its converse is always true.
__________________ 3. When the conditional and its converse are true, the two statements can be
combined to form a biconditional statement.
__________________ 4. To form the inverse of a conditional statement, interchange the hypothesis
and the conclusion of a conditional.
__________________ 5. The converse and the inverse of a conditional statement are logically
equivalent.

PART II. Write the converse, inverse, and contrapositive of the given conditional statement. (10 pts each)

Conditional
𝒑→𝒒 If you have a fever, then you are sick.
Converse
𝒒→𝒑
Inverse
~𝒑 → ~𝒒
Contrapositive
~𝒒 → ~𝒑

Conditional
𝒑→𝒒 If a number is even, then it is divisible by two.
Converse
𝒒→𝒑
Inverse
~𝒑 → ~𝒒
Contrapositive
~𝒒 → ~𝒑

PART III. Encircle the letter of the correct answer. (2 pts each)
1. If the sum of the measures of two angles is 90°, then the angles are complementary angles. Which of the
following is the converse of the conditional above?
A. If the angles are complementary angles, then the sum of the measures of two angles is 90°.
B. If the angles are not complementary angles, then the sum of the measures of two angles is 90°.
C. If the angles are complementary angles, then the sum of the measures of two angles is not 90°.
D. If the angles are not complementary angles, then the sum of the measures of two angles is not 90°.
2. What is the inverse of the statement: “If you are in love, then you are inspired.”?
A. If you are not in love, then you are not inspired.
B. If you are inspired, then you are in love.
C. If you are not inspired, then you are not in love.
D. If you are in love, you are not inspired.
3. What is the contrapositive of the statement “If the number is divisible by 2 and 3, then it is divisible by
6.”?
A. If the number is divisible by 6, then it is divisible by 2 and 3.
B. If the number is not divisible by 2 and 3, then it is not divisible by 6.
C. If the number is not divisible by 6, then it is not divisible by 2 and 3.
D. If the number is divisible by 2 and 3, then it is not divisible by 6.
4. You are evaluating a conditional statement in which the hypothesis is true, but the conclusion is false. Is
the inverse of the statement true or false?
A. True, since the inverse has the same truth table with the converse which is false.
B. False, since the inverse has the same truth table with the contrapositive which is false.
C. False, since the inverse makes the hypothesis and conclusion false.
D. True, since the inverse makes the hypothesis and conclusion true.
5. If triangle has one obtuse angle, then it is an obtuse triangle. Which of the following is the contrapositive
of the conditional above?
A. If a triangle is not obtuse, then it has one obtuse angle.
B. If a triangle does not have one obtuse angle, then it is not obtuse triangle.
C. If a triangle is not obtuse, then it does not have one obtuse angle.
D. If a triangle is obtuse, then it has one obtuse angle.
