Discussion

In the following question, a statement/group of statements is given followed by some conclusions. Without resolving anything yourself, choose the conclusion which logically follows from the statement(s).

Statement - All beggars are not poor.

  • A.Some beggars may not be poor.
  • B.If A is not rich, then A is not a beggar.
  • C.All those who are poor are beggars.
  • D.If A is rich, then A is not a beggar.

Answer: A

Correct answer: Some beggars may not be poor.

The statement denies that all beggars are poor, which leaves open that some are and some are not - exactly what the keyed conclusion says. It does not tell us that every poor person is a beggar, which reverses the classes, nor does it license either conditional about a particular person A, since a denial of a universal supports no statement about any individual.
