Statement and Conclusion Q.12
- Option : C
- Explanation : This is a comprehensive question, covering all
major aspects of syllogism. Please look at the solution
carefully.
We need to bring the statements to their logical form before checking them for alignment.
All those eligible for the post are graduates. Some rickshaw pullers are graduates.
There are three terms—eligible, graduates, and rickshaw pullers. ‘Graduates’ is the common term.
The statements are not in the form: A to B and A to B. According to IEA, second statement should be given priority for conversion:
‘Some graduates are rickshaw pullers’.
Now the statements are to be brought to A to B and B to C form.
‘All those eligible for the post are graduates’ (A type)
‘Some graduates are rickshaw pullers’ (I type)
A + I = No conclusion.
