Write down the converse of following statements :

(i) If a rectangle ‘R’ is a square, then R is a rhombus.


(ii) If today is Monday, then tomorrow is Tuesday.


(iii) If you go to Agra, then you must visit Taj Mahal.


(iv) If the sum of squares of two sides of a triangle is equal to the square of third side of a triangle, then the triangle is right angled.


(v) If all three angles of a triangle are equal, then the triangle is equilateral.


(vi) If x : y = 3 : 2, then 2x = 3y.


(vii) If S is a cyclic quadrilateral, then the opposite angles of S are supplementary.


(viii) If x is zero, then x is neither positive nor negative.


(ix) If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal.
