P  = "I stay" , Q = "you go"
question is P--->Q then option A is
i stay(P) <---- you go(Q)  , which means Q implies P

also Q---->P

I stay only if you go

P: I stay

Q: You go

It is given in the form of P if Q which is equivalent to (P→ Q), we can write that statement in this way,

If I stay then you go.

Along with that, we know that converse of (P→Q) is (Q→P)

we can write that converse in the English language is If you go then I stay and we can write this (Q→P) form to Q if P form.

which means If you go then I stay is equivalent to I stay if you go.

So the answer is option A

"I stay only if you go" is equivalent to "If I stay then you go."

$\because A \text{ only if } B \equiv (A \to B)$

$A=$ "I stay" and $B=$ "You go"

Converse $( A\to B) = B\to A$

"If you go then I stay"

Shouldn't it be B<->A because of "only if" statement. It is same as "if and only if".

## I think answer is B.

I stay only if you go

A = You go

B= I stay

So, given is A->B

Converse is B->A

So, ans is

If I stay, then you go.

So, ans is B.

Please explain me if I am wrong.

I stay only if you go  is equivalent to if I stay then you go. check again

Now I understood the meaning of "only if".... I thought A only if B means B->A.

But, A only if means A->B,

So ans is A.

Thanks for the explanation Anirudh...

A only if B $\equiv$ A $\rightarrow$ B

Given : A $\rightarrow$ B  . We have to find all which given below for A $\rightarrow$ B ?

Direct = A $\rightarrow$ B

Converse = B $\rightarrow$ A

Inverse =  ~A $\rightarrow$ ~B

COntrapositive = ~B $\rightarrow$ ~A

option a.  converse is B->A can also be written as "A if B" thats u ans (a)

I stay only if you go is equivalents to   If I stay then you go.

A only if B  => A->B

A= "I stay" and B= "You go"
i.e.Conditional: A ---.>B
Converse:   B----->A

" If you go then I stay "

Answer is  (A) A if B is equivalence to B -------->A
"I stay if you go" is also equivalent to "If you go then I stay"

i.e.Conditional: P ---.>Q
Converse:  Q----->P
