Give the converse and contrapositive implication:-
a) If it is hot, then I take a drink.
b) If today is Monday, then tomorrow is tuesday.
Here is the rule:

Original statement:                      If p, then q
Converse of original statement:          If q, then p 
Inverse of original statement:           If not p, then not q     
Contrapositive of original statement:    If not q, then not p 

a) If it is hot, then I take a drink.

p = "It is hot",  q = "I take a drink".

Original statement:                   If it is hot, then I take a drink.
Converse of original statement:       If I take a drink, then it is hot. 
Inverse of original statement:        If it is not hot, then I do not take 
                                                 a drink.     
Contrapositive of original statement: If I do not take a drink, then it is 
                                                 not hot. 
b) If today is Monday, then tomorrow is Tuesday. 

p = "Today is Monday",  q = Tomorrow is Tuesday.

Original statement:                   If today is Monday, then tomorrow is
                                                 Tuesday.                
Converse of original statement:       If tommorrow is Tuesday, then today 
                                                 is Monday. 
Inverse of original statement:        If today is not Monday, then tomorrow 
                                                 is not Tuesday. 
Contrapositive of original statement: If tomorrow is not Tuesday, then today
                                                 is not Monday.
