Solution

The correct option is A

If two triangles are not similar, then these are not identical


Let ‘p’ be the statement that “Two triangles are identical” and ‘q’ be the statement that “Two triangles are similar”

The given statements ‘p’ and ‘q’ can be symbolically represented in pq.

So, the contrapositive is given by ~q~p.

If two triangles are not similar, then these are not identical.

Hence, option (A) is correct.
