Question and options
Direction: Accept the factual assumptions required by the question, even if you believe that the statement is false. Answer the question on the basis of the given statement.
If it is false that ‘all men strive for the happiness of all’, which one of the following statements is true beyond doubt?
- All men seek their own happiness.
- There are men who do not desire for the happiness of all.
- No men strive for the happiness of all.
- There are men who do not strive for the happiness of all.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - There are men who do not strive for the happiness of all.
The contradictory of 'all men strive for the happiness of all' is 'some men do not strive for the happiness of all', i.e. 'There are men who do not strive for the happiness of all'. 'No men strive...' is not certain; the 'desire' option changes 'strive' to 'desire'; 'All men seek their own happiness' is unrelated.
