(N/A) The given statement is of the form $P \implies Q$,where $P$ is '$x$ is a prime number' and $Q$ is '$x$ is odd'.
The contrapositive of $P \implies Q$ is $\neg Q \implies \neg P$.
Thus,the contrapositive is: If $x$ is not odd,then $x$ is not a prime number.
The converse of $P \implies Q$ is $Q \implies P$.
Thus,the converse is: If $x$ is odd,then $x$ is a prime number.
