Question

If p then q means ___________________

(a) If q then p

(b) p => q

(c) q => p

(d) q only if p

The question was posed to me during an internship interview.

My question is from Mathematical Reasoning in division Mathematical Reasoning of Mathematics – Class 11

Answer 1

The correct option is (b) p => q

To elaborate: If p then q means p implies q i.e. p => q. This does not mean q => p.

Q only if p means q=>p.
