The contrapositive of the statement "If you are born in India, then you are a citizen of India", is -

1. If you are a citizen of India, then you are born in India
2. If you are born in India, then you are not a citizen of India
3. If you are not a citizen of India, then you are not born in India
4. If you are not born in India, then you are not a citizen of India

Correct answer: If you are not a citizen of India, then you are not born in India

Solution

The contrapositive of a conditional statement reverses and negates both the hypothesis and the conclusion. In this case, negating 'you are a citizen of India' leads to 'you are not a citizen of India,' and negating 'you are born in India' leads to 'you are not born in India,' resulting in the correct contrapositive.
