Syllogism — “Artist → Beautiful” with a named individual: Statements: • Anand is an artist. • Artists are beautiful. Which conclusion necessarily follows?

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Anand is beautiful.

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
A single universal plus an instance lets us substitute the individual into the inclusion to get a necessary property.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Anand ∈ Artist.
  • Artist ⊆ Beautiful.


Concept / Approach:
Substitute Anand into the universal: since every Artist is Beautiful, Anand is Beautiful. No further claims about all Beautiful persons or non-membership are justified.


Why the Other Options Are Wrong:
Option (a) reverses the inclusion; (c) contradicts the chain; (d) is a universal negative not supported.


Final Answer:
Anand is beautiful.
