Question

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
• E. Both I and II follow

Answer 1

The correct option is D Neither I nor II follows

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.
