Vote = Ga ........................... v)
From ii) , iii) and iv)
For = Ta ............................ vi)
From iii), ii) and vi)
Change = ra ............................ vii)
From i) and iv)
people = sa ............................ viii)
From v) viii) and i)

6. Some Terrorist are honest (I) + No politician is Honest
(E), Conversion No Honest are politician (I + E) = O, Some Terrorism are not
politician. Hence I follows. No politician is Honest (E) + All politician are
corrupt (A) = (E) + (A) ®
O* (Some corrupt are not Honest). Hence conclusion II follows.
7. Some students are MBA (I) (on conversion) Some MBA are
students (I) + All students are Graduate (A) ®
I + A ® (I) Hence conclusion I
Some MBA are graduate follows. All students are graduate (A) + No Graduate is
PHD (E) = A + E ® ‘E’
8. All students are Graduate (A) + No Graduate are PHD (E) =
A + E - ‘E’ Hence conclusion I does not follow. But both conclusions first and
second are contradictory statement Hence either conclusion I or II follows.
9. Every politician are corrupt (A) + More politician are
Honest (I) = A + I = No conclusion But this exist in possibility. Hence
conclusion I follows. Every corrupt are politician (A) - (on conversion) Some
corrupt are politician. Hence conclusion II follows.
10. More king are slave (I) + No Slave is honest (E) - I + E
= O Hence conclusion I does not follow because there is no negative statement. More
king are educated (I) + More King are slave (I) = I + I ® No Conclusion. So conclusion II
does not follow.
