The contrapositive of the statement “If I reach the station in time, then I will catch the train” is:

• If I will catch the train, then I reach the station in time.

• If do not reach the station in time, then I will not catch the train

• If I do not reach the station in time,then I will catch the train.

• If I will not catch the train, then I do not reach the station in time.
