Correct answer: C. Statement I is true but Statement II is falseकथन I सत्य है, लेकिन कथन II असत्य है
Explanation
E ('No S is P') and A ('All S is P') are contraries – both cannot be true together (Statement I true). I ('Some S is P') and E ('No S is P') differ in both quantity and quality, so they are contradictories, not contraries (Statement II false). Hence Statement I is true but Statement II is false.E ('कोई S, P नहीं है') और A ('सभी S, P हैं') विपरीत हैं – दोनों एक साथ सत्य नहीं हो सकते (कथन I सत्य)। I ('कुछ S, P हैं') और E ('कोई S, P नहीं है') परिमाण और गुण दोनों में भिन्न हैं, अतः वे व्याघाती (contradictory) हैं, विपरीत नहीं (कथन II असत्य)। अतः कथन I सत्य है, लेकिन कथन II असत्य है।More Logical Reasoning questions
