Q48

Statements : All boys are honest. Sachin is honest. Conclusions : I. Sachin is a boy. II. All honest persons are boys.

A.
Only conclusion I follows
B.
Only conclusion II follows
C.
Either I or II follows
D.
Neither I nor II follows
Answer
E.
Both I and II follow

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
Both the premises are A type propositions. So, the middle term 'honest' forming the predicate in each is not distributed in either. Since the middle term is not distributed even once, no definite conclusion follows.
