Correct answer: C. B, C and D onlyकेवल B, C और D
Explanation
D, "Some S are not P", is an O proposition; by obversion it becomes "Some S are non-P", which is exactly B. For C, obverting "Some non-P are not non-S" gives "Some non-P are S", and since an I proposition converts simply this is "Some S are non-P" — again B. A is the E proposition "No P is S", which is universal and not equivalent to a particular one. Hence B, C and D only.D, "कुछ S, P नहीं हैं", एक O कथन है; प्रतिवर्तन (obversion) से यह "कुछ S, अ-P हैं" बनता है, जो ठीक B है। C में "कुछ अ-P, अ-S नहीं हैं" का प्रतिवर्तन करने पर "कुछ अ-P, S हैं" मिलता है और I कथन का सरल परिवर्तन (conversion) करने पर यह "कुछ S, अ-P हैं" अर्थात् पुनः B हो जाता है। A एक सार्वभौम E कथन "कोई P, S नहीं है" है, जो किसी विशेष कथन के समतुल्य नहीं है। अतः केवल B, C और D।More Logical Reasoning questions
