0. When subject and predicate of both the premises are the same but they differ in quality only, it is known as:

  • Option : B
  • Explanation : Two propositions are contrary, if they cannot both be true, but they might both be false. They have same subjects and predicates; and, are different in qualities but have the same universal quantities.
    Two propositions are contradictory, if one of them is a denial of another. They cannot both be true, and cannot both be false. They have same subjects and predicates but are different in quantities (all, some, no) as well as qualities.
    A superaltern is a universal proposition that is the basis for the immediate inference of a corresponding particular proposition.
    A proposition is a subaltern of another if it must be true in case its superaltern is true, and its superaltern must be false in case the subaltern is false.
