Explanation
In the square of opposition, contradictories are the A–O pair and the E–I pair: they can be neither true together nor false together. Here A is the A-proposition, B the I-proposition, C the O-proposition and D the E-proposition. Among the given choices the contradictory pair is E–I, that is B and D. A and D are only contraries, and B and C are sub-contraries.विरोध-वर्ग (square of opposition) में विरोधी युग्म A–O तथा E–I होते हैं: ये न तो एक साथ सत्य हो सकते हैं और न ही एक साथ असत्य। यहाँ A = A-कथन, B = I-कथन, C = O-कथन तथा D = E-कथन है। दिए गए विकल्पों में विरोधी युग्म E–I है, अर्थात् B और D। A तथा D केवल विपरीत (contrary) हैं और B तथा C उप-विपरीत (sub-contrary) हैं।More Logical Reasoning questions
