Correct answer: D. (A) and (D) Onlyकेवल (A) और (D)
Explanation
'No cows are non-herbivores' is the obverse of 'All cows are herbivores', and obversion always gives an equivalent proposition. (B) is the simple converse of an A proposition, which is not valid, and (C) is only implied by A (conversion by limitation), not equivalent. Answer: (A) and (D) Only.'कोई भी गाय अशाकाहारी नहीं है', 'सभी गायें शाकाहारी हैं' का प्रतिवर्तित (obverse) रूप है, और प्रतिवर्तन सदैव समतुल्य तर्कवाक्य देता है। (B) A तर्कवाक्य का सरल परिवर्तन है जो वैध नहीं है, और (C) A से केवल निष्कर्षित होता है (सीमित परिवर्तन), समतुल्य नहीं। उत्तर: केवल (A) और (D)।More Logical Reasoning questions
