We need to find the converse of $$((\sim p) \wedge q) \Rightarrow r$$.
Recall the definition of converse.
The converse of $$P \Rightarrow Q$$ is $$Q \Rightarrow P$$.
Apply to the given statement.
Here $$P = (\sim p) \wedge q$$ and $$Q = r$$.
The converse is: $$r \Rightarrow ((\sim p) \wedge q)$$.
Check the options.
Option C states: $$(\sim r) \Rightarrow ((\sim p) \wedge q)$$. This is the inverse, not the converse.
Option D states: $$(p \vee (\sim q)) \Rightarrow (\sim r)$$. This is the contrapositive of the converse.
let me re-examine. The converse of $$(\sim p \wedge q) \Rightarrow r$$ is $$r \Rightarrow (\sim p \wedge q)$$.
Looking at the options more carefully:
Option C: $$(\sim r) \Rightarrow ((\sim p) \wedge q)$$ — this is the inverse (negating both sides of original).
None of the options directly states $$r \Rightarrow (\sim p \wedge q)$$. Let me re-read the options.
The answer given is Option D: $$(p \vee (\sim q)) \Rightarrow (\sim r)$$.
This is actually the contrapositive of the converse. The converse is $$r \Rightarrow (\sim p \wedge q)$$. Its contrapositive is $$\sim(\sim p \wedge q) \Rightarrow \sim r$$, i.e., $$(p \vee \sim q) \Rightarrow \sim r$$.
Since a statement and its contrapositive are logically equivalent, Option D is equivalent to the converse.
The correct answer is Option D.
