Correct answer: B. Some men are not dishonest.कुछ मनुष्य बेईमान नहीं हैं।
Explanation
To obvert a proposition we change its quality and replace the predicate by its complement, keeping the quantity unchanged. "Some men are honest" is an I proposition; changing the quality to negative and replacing 'honest' by 'non-honest (dishonest)' gives the O proposition "Some men are not dishonest". Hence the answer is Some men are not dishonest.किसी तर्कवाक्य के परिवर्तन (obversion) में हम उसका गुण बदलते हैं और विधेय को उसके पूरक से प्रतिस्थापित करते हैं, परिमाण अपरिवर्तित रखते हैं। "कुछ मनुष्य ईमानदार हैं" एक I तर्कवाक्य है; गुण को निषेधात्मक करके तथा 'ईमानदार' के स्थान पर 'बेईमान' रखने पर O तर्कवाक्य "कुछ मनुष्य बेईमान नहीं हैं" प्राप्त होता है। अतः उत्तर कुछ मनुष्य बेईमान नहीं हैं है।More Logical Reasoning questions
