Conditional & Biconditional Practice


Questions with Answers
1. 1. Given the conditional statement: 'If a number is divisible by 4, then it is even.'

Converse: If a number is even, then it is divisible by 4.


Inverse: If a number is not divisible by 4, then it is not even.
Contrapositive: If a number is not even, then it is not divisible by 4.

2. 2. Given the conditional statement: 'If it rains, then the ground is wet.'

Converse: If the ground is wet, then it rains.


Inverse: If it does not rain, then the ground is not wet.
Contrapositive: If the ground is not wet, then it does not rain.

3. 3. Consider the following statement: 'If a student passes the test, they will graduate.'

Converse: If a student graduates, then they passed the test.


Inverse: If a student does not pass the test, they will not graduate.
Contrapositive: If a student does not graduate, then they did not pass the test.

4. 4. Determine the truth values of the following conditional statements:

a) If 3 + 4 = 7, then 2 × 3 = 6. (True)
b) If 5 + 5 = 11, then 2^3 = 8. (False)

5. 5. Evaluate the truth of the contrapositive: 'If a shape is a square, then it has four sides.'

Contrapositive: If a shape does not have four sides, then it is not a square. (True)

6. 6. For the statement 'If a function is injective, it is surjective', determine the truth of the
converse, inverse, and contrapositive.

Converse: If a function is surjective, it is injective. (False)


Inverse: If a function is not injective, it is not surjective. (False)
Contrapositive: If a function is not surjective, it is not injective. (True)
7. 7. Write a biconditional statement for each:

a) A square has four equal sides. (A figure is a square if and only if it has four equal sides.)
b) A number is even if and only if it is divisible by 2. (True)

9. 9. In the context of biology: 'If a plant is a cactus, then it can survive in the desert.'

Converse: If a plant can survive in the desert, then it is a cactus. (False)


Inverse: If a plant is not a cactus, then it cannot survive in the desert. (False)
Contrapositive: If a plant cannot survive in the desert, then it is not a cactus. (True)

10. 10. Consider the following statement in geometry: 'If two lines are parallel, then they do
not intersect.'

Converse: If two lines do not intersect, then they are parallel. (False)
Inverse: If two lines are not parallel, then they intersect. (True)
Contrapositive: If two lines intersect, then they are not parallel. (True)

tomorrow is Saturday'?

Answer: b) If tomorrow is Saturday, then today is Friday. (Correct)

12. 12. For the conditional statement 'If a polygon is a square, then it is a rectangle', identify
the converse, inverse, and contrapositive.

Converse: If a polygon is a rectangle, then it is a square. (False)


Inverse: If a polygon is not a square, then it is not a rectangle. (False)
Contrapositive: If a polygon is not a rectangle, then it is not a square. (True)

13. 13. Determine whether the following biconditional statement is true or false: 'A figure is
a rhombus if and only if all of its sides are of equal length.'

Answer: True
14. 14. Given the statement 'If a function is bijective, then it has an inverse,' write the
converse, inverse, and contrapositive.

Converse: If a function has an inverse, then it is bijective. (True)


Inverse: If a function is not bijective, then it does not have an inverse. (True)
Contrapositive: If a function does not have an inverse, then it is not bijective. (True)

15. 15. Consider the statement: 'If a student gets an A, then they studied hard.'

Converse: If a student studied hard, then they got an A. (False)


Inverse: If a student does not get an A, then they did not study hard. (False)
Contrapositive: If a student did not study hard, then they did not get an A. (True)

converse, inverse, and contrapositive.

Converse: If a number is divisible by 3, then it is divisible by 6. (False)


Inverse: If a number is not divisible by 6, then it is not divisible by 3. (False)
Contrapositive: If a number is not divisible by 3, then it is not divisible by 6. (True)
