Quantified Statements – What follows from “most”? Statement: In the university examination, most of the candidates write in the Hindi medium.

Introduction / Context:
This verbal reasoning question examines how to reason from the quantifier “most.” In logic, “most” means a majority (more than half), which immediately implies “some” but does not imply “all.”

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Statement: Most candidates write in Hindi medium.
• We assume “most” = a majority greater than 50%.
• No claim is made about the remaining minority.

Concept / Approach:
From “most,” two safe inferences are: (1) “some” is true, and (2) “not all” may be true (unless “most” is used loosely to mean “almost all”). It never licenses the universal “all.”
