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 - Only guilty singers were arrested. Narendra and Arvind were among those arrested.
Answer: D
Correct answer: Narendra and Arvind were guilty.
The word only makes the inference valid: if the arrested set contains none but guilty singers, then anyone arrested is a guilty singer, and Narendra and Arvind were arrested. The other three reverse or overextend the classes - that all singers are guilty, that all arrested people are singers, or that these two were not singers - none of which follows from a statement about who was arrested.
