Statements: Some wicket are green. Some wicket are dry. No green is pitch. Conclusion: I. Some dry are pitch. II. Some pitch are not green. III. No pitch is dry. Correct Answer Either conclusion I or III and II follow.
Conclusion:
I. Some dry are pitch → False (No direct relation given hence, false)
II. Some pitch are not green → True (No green is pitch so some pitch are not green is true)
III. No pitch is dry → False (No direct relation given hence, false)
Conclusive I and III form complementary pair.
Thus, Either conclusion I or III and II follow.
Note:
Conditions of Either-or case:
1. The elements should be the same in both the statements.
2. Individually both the conclusions should be false.
3. One conclusion should be positive and one conclusion should be negative (Complementary pair)
The two complementary pairs are:
1) All + Some not
2) No + Some
