Discussion
Which of the following is/are the valid conclusion/s based on the statements given below ?
Statement I : All players are aggressive.
Statement II : Some politicians are aggressive.
Conclusion 1 : Some politicians are not aggressive.
Conclusion 2 : Some players are politicians.
Codes :
Answer: D
Neither conclusion 1 nor conclusion 2 follows.
Conclusion 1, 'Some politicians are not aggressive', cannot be drawn from 'Some politicians are aggressive'. 'Some are' does not tell us that others are not; it is possible that every politician is aggressive.
Conclusion 2, 'Some players are politicians', does not follow either. Players and politicians are both linked only to the class of aggressive people. All players lie inside that class and some politicians lie inside it too, but the two groups may sit in different parts of it without overlapping. Since neither conclusion is certain, the options '1 only', '2 only' and '1 and 2 both' are all wrong.
