Back to Exercise
Statements: Every minister is a student. Every student is inexperienced.
Conclusions:
I. Every minister is inexperienced.
II. Some inexperienced are students.
- A Only conclusion I follows
- B Only conclusion II follows
- C Either I or II follows
- D Neither I nor II follows
- E Both I and II follow Correct
Correct Answer: Option E
'Every' is equivalent to 'All'. Thus, since both the premises are universal and affirmative, the conclusion must be universal affirmative and should not contain the middle term. So, I follows. II is the converse of the second premise and thus it also holds.
