Answer» (i) Given statement : if x is a prime number, then x is odd.
Contrapositive : if x is not odd then x is not a prime number.
Converse: if a number x is odd then x is a prime number .
(ii) Given statement : if two lines are parallel,then they do not intersect in the same plane.
Contrapositive : if two lines interset in a plane , then they are not parallel .
converse: if two lines do not intersect in a plane, then they are parallel.
(iii) Given statement : something is cold implies that it has low temperature.
Contrapositive : if something is not at low temperature, then it is not cold.
Converse: if something is at low temperature , then it is cold.
(iv) Given statement : you cannot comprehend geometry if you do not know how to reason deductively.
Contrapositive : if you know how to reason deductively , then you can comprehend geometry.
Converse: if you do not know how to reason deductively , then you cannot comprehend geometry.
(v) Given statement : x is an number implies that x is divisibile by 4.
Contrapositive : x is not divisible by 4, then x is not an even number .
