Quarter 2 – Module 7:
Conditional Propositions
Introductory Message
For the facilitator:

Welcome to the General Mathematics – Grade 11 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM)

Module on Conditional Propositions!

This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators both
from public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher or facilitator in helping
the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while overcoming
their personal, social, and economic constraints in schooling.

This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help
learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration their
needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of
the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module.
You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to manage
their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist the
learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

For the learner:

Welcome to the General Mathematics – Grade 11 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM)

Module on Conditional Propositions!

Conditional Propositions express relation and points out that one proposition
necessarily follows from the other because of a definite condition.

This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful opportunities for
guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You will be enabled to
process the contents of the learning resource while being an active learner.

This module has the following parts and corresponding icons:

What I Need to Know This will give you an idea of the skills or
competencies you are expected to learn in the
module.

1 Conditional Propositions

“It is more important that a proposition be

interesting than that it be true.”
-Alfred North Whitehead

What’s In

Arrange the jumbled letters to form the correct word that is being described
in each sentence.

1. It is a declarative sentence that is either true or false, but not both.

IOPTRSIOONP

2. It is the attribute assigned to a proposition in respect of its truth or

falsehood, which in classical logic has only two possible values (true or
false).

TURTH EALUV

3. It expresses relation and points out that one proposition necessarily

follows from the other because of a definite condition.

 What is It

After learning about logical operations, the next step is to determine the truth
values of proposition and illustrate the different forms of conditional propositions.

Propositions, in logic, are statements that can be labeled as either true or false.

Truth Value is the characteristic of a statement such that it is either true or false.

NOTE: A statement that is labeled as false may still have a truth value. In other
words, a statement does not necessarily need to be true in order for it to have such
characteristic.

Example:

Suppose p and r are true propositions while q is a false proposition. Find out the
truth values of the following propositions:

a. ( p ∧𝑞) ∧𝑟
- Since q is false, then p ∧ 𝑞 is also the same. Thus, ( p ∧ 𝑞 ) ∧ 𝑟 is considered
as false.

b. p V ( q V r )
- At least one of the disjuncts of q V r is true, so the disjunction is true
q V r.

c. p → ((~q) V r)
- Note that ~q is true since q is false. Therefore, (~q) V r is true. Since both
the hypothesis and the conclusion in the conditional are true, then p →
((~q) V r) is also considered as true.

d. ( p V q ) ∧ ( ~ r)
- Since p is true, then p V q is also true. Since r is true and ~ r is false, then
( p V q ) ∧ ( ~ r) is considered as false.

Conditional Proposition

• It expresses a condition or relation of dependence between two propositions.

• It expresses relation and points out that one proposition necessarily follows
from the other because of a definite condition.
• Note that a conditional proposition is the one in which two parts are joined by
if, unless, when, where, suppose, in case.

8
 • It is sometimes called an if-then proposition.

Definition: Suppose p and q are propositions. From the conditional propositions

p → q, we can derive three other conditional statements, namely,

a. Converse : q → p
b. Contrapositive : ( ~q ) → ( ~p )
c. Inverse : ( ~p ) → ( ~q )

Note that a conditional and a corresponding contrapositive are logically equivalent.

Likewise, for a given conditional statement, its converse and inverse are logically
equivalent.

Example 1: Consider the following true conditional.

p → q: “ If Geebee is in Grade 11, then she is a Senior High School student.”

State its (a) Converse, (b) Contrapositive, and (c) Inverse.

Solution:

a. Converse (q → p) “If Geebee is a Senior high school student, then she is in

Grade 11.” (This is not necessarily true.)

b. Contrapositive “If Geebee is not a Senior high school student, then she is
(( ~q ) → ( ~p )) not in Grade 11.” (This is true.)

c. Inverse “If Geebee is not in Grade 11, then she is not a Senior High
(( ~p ) → ( ~q )) school student.” (This is not necessarily true.)

Example 2: Let p → q be the political slogan: “If there are no corrupt people, then
there are no poor people.” State the converse, contrapositive, and the inverse of
p → q.

Solution:

a. Converse (q → p) “If there are no poor people, then there are no corrupt
people.”

b. Contrapositive “If there are poor people, then there are corrupt people.”
(( ~q ) → ( ~p ))

c. Inverse “If there are corrupt people, then there are poor people.”
(( ~p ) → ( ~q ))

 What’s More

Do this activity on a separate sheet of paper.

1. Suppose p is a true proposition, q is a false proposition, and r is a true

proposition. Determine the truth value of ( ~ p ) → ( q → r ).

2. Determine the converse, contrapositive, and the inverse of the conditional

proposition below.

“Dana would study for the exam alone if her boyfriend decided to go home
early to sleep.”
