Question and options
Direction: In this question, a statement/group of statements is given, followed by some conclusions. Without resolving anything yourself, choose the conclusion which logically follows from the given statements.
Statement: All students in my class are bright. Unnikrishnan is not bright.
Conclusion:
Conclusion:
- Some students are not bright
- Unnikrishnan must work hard
- No non-bright person is a student anywhere
- Unnikrishnan is not a student of my class
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - Unnikrishnan is not a student of my class
All students of my class are bright; Unnikrishnan is not bright; hence he cannot be a student of my class (modus tollens). 'No non-bright person is a student anywhere' over-generalises to all students everywhere, 'some students are not bright' contradicts the premise, and 'Unnikrishnan must work hard' is unrelated.
