Write the contrapositive and converse of the following statements.

(i) If x is a prime number, then x is odd.


(ii) If the two lines are parallel, then they do not intersect in the same plane.


(iii) Something is cold implies that it has low temperature.


(iv) You cannot comprehend geometry if you do not know how to reason deductively.


(v) x is an even number implies that x is divisible by 4.

Contrapositive - It is done by Adding 'not' to both component statements & charging order


p q


~q ~p


Converse - It is done by changing order of statement


p q


then q p
