Discussion
If the statement 'most of the students are obedient' is taken to be true, which one of the following pair of statements can be claimed to be true ?
I. All obedient persons are students.
II. All students are obedient.
III. Some students are obedient.
IV. Some students are not disobedient.
Codes :
Answer: C
If 'most of the students are obedient', then more than half the students are obedient, so some students are obedient (III) must be true. Since the obedient ones are only most, not all, we cannot say all students are obedient, so II is not claimed. I does not follow, as obedient persons may include non-students. IV says some students are not disobedient, which means some students are obedient, and so follows. So III and IV can be claimed, and the answer is III and IV.
