Correct Answer: Both I and II follow
Explanation:
As discussed above, it follows that 'All huts are temples'. I is the converse of this conclusion and so it holds. II is the converse of the second premise and so it also holds.
Correct Answer: Either I or II follows
Explanation:
As discussed above, the conclusion must be particular negative and should not contain the middle term. So, it follows that 'Some cameras are not magazines'. However, I and II involve only the extreme terms and form a complementary pair. Thus, either I or II follows.
Correct Answer: Neither I nor II follows
Explanation:
Both the premises are A type propositions. So, in either, the middle term 'handles' forming the predicate is not distributed. Since the middle term is not distributed even once in the premises, no definite conclusion follows
Correct Answer: Both I and II follow
Explanation:
Since one premise is particular, the conclusion must be particular and should not contain the middle term. So, I follows. II is the converse of I and thus it also holds.
Correct Answer: Either I or II follows
Explanation:
As discussed above, the conclusion must be particular negative and should not contain the middle term. So, it follows that 'Some books are not pencils'. However, I and II involve only the extreme terms and form a complementary pair. Thus, either I or II follows.
Correct Answer: Neither I nor II follows
Explanation:
Since the middle term 'fly' is not distributed even once in the premises, no definite conclusion follows.
Correct Answer: Only conclusion II follows
Explanation:
Since both the premises are universal and one premise is negative, the conclusion must be universal negative and should not contain the middle term. So, only II follows.
Correct Answer: Only conclusion I follows
Explanation:
Since one premise is particular and the other premise is negative, the conclusion must be particular negative and should not contain the middle term. So, it follows that 'Some desks are not red'. However, I is the converse of the first premise and thus it holds.
Correct Answer: Both I and II follow
Explanation:
Since one premise is particular, the conclusion must be particular and should not contain the middle term. So, II follows. I is the converse of II and so it also holds.
Correct Answer: Neither I nor II follows
Explanation:
Since the middle term 'divine' is not distributed even once in the premises, no definite conclusion can be drawn.
