Correct answer: C. A and C Onlyकेवल A और C
Explanation
Propositions that can neither be true together nor false together are contradictories. A is a universal affirmative (A-type) about printers and C is the particular negative (O-type) with the same subject and predicate, so A and C are contradictories. A and D are contraries — both can be false; B and D are contradictories, but B's subject and predicate are reversed and that pair is not offered as an option. Hence A and C only.जो तर्कवाक्य न एक साथ सत्य हो सकते हैं और न एक साथ असत्य, वे विरोधी-व्याघाती (contradictories) कहलाते हैं। A सार्वभौम सकारात्मक (A-प्रकार) है और C उसी उद्देश्य एवं विधेय वाला विशेष नकारात्मक (O-प्रकार) है, अतः A और C व्याघाती हैं। A और D विपरीत (contraries) हैं — दोनों असत्य हो सकते हैं; B और D व्याघाती हैं परंतु B में उद्देश्य-विधेय उलटे हैं और वह युग्म विकल्पों में नहीं है। अतः केवल A और C।More Logical Reasoning questions
