Question

If p: 'It rains' and q: 'Roads are wet', then 'If it rains then roads are wet' in symbolic form is:
  1. A
    p → q
    Correct
  2. B
    p ∧ q
  3. C
    q → p
  4. D
    p ↔ q

p → q

Explanation

'If p then q' = p → q. The converse would be q → p (if roads are wet, it rained), which is not necessarily true.
