Question 14 Back to Exercise

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 Correct
  • E Both I and II follow
Correct Answer: Option D

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.
