To solve this problem, we need to understand the concepts of converse and inverse in logic.

  1. Converse: The converse of a statement "If P, then Q" is "If Q, then P."

  2. Inverse: The inverse of a statement "If P, then Q" is "If not P, then not Q."

Given statement: "If many people are relieved, then high blood pressure is not desirable."

Converse: "If high blood pressure is not desirable, then many people are relieved."

Now, let's evaluate the options for the converse:

  • Option 1: If many people are not relieved, then high blood pressure is desirable.

    • This is not the converse; it is the inverse of the original statement.
  • Option 2: If high blood pressure is desirable, then many people are not relieved.

    • This is not the converse; it is a different statement.
  • Option 3: High blood pressure is desirable or many people are relieved.

    • This is not a conditional statement and does not represent the converse.

None of the options provided match the correct converse of the given statement.

Inverse: "If many people are not relieved, then high blood pressure is desirable."

Now, let's evaluate the options for the inverse:

  • Option 1: High blood pressure is desirable or many people are relieved.

    • This is not a conditional statement and does not represent the inverse.
  • Option 2: If many people are not relieved, then high blood pressure is desirable.

    • This is the correct inverse of the original statement.
  • Option 3: If high blood pressure is desirable, then many people are not relieved.

    • This is not the inverse; it is a different statement.
  • Option 4: If many people are relieved, then high blood pressure is not desirable.

    • This is the original statement, not the inverse.

The answer for the inverse is the second one: "If many people are not relieved, then high blood pressure is desirable."

In summary:

  • The correct converse is not provided in the options.
  • The correct inverse is the second option: "If many people are not relieved, then high blood pressure is desirable."
