Question

Statements:
All Men are honest.
Shankar is honest.

Conclusions:
I Shankar is a man.
II All honest persons are men.

• A. Only conclusion I follows
• B. Only conclusion II follows
• C. Either I or II follows
• D. Neither I nor II follows

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.
