Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Possible conclusions are: from first two statements, I +E=, hence some big are not large., and from second and third statements, E+1=O reserved, hence .Some tiny are not small.. Thus, a possible conclusion lating .big. and .large. is .Some big are not large., and since I and II are different from this, both do not follow. SimIIarly a possible conclusion between "tiny. and .small. is .some tiny are not from some small which is difference from .sone small are not tiny.. Hence, III does not follow To see the validity of the fourth conclusion, we need to find a conclusion relating big. and .tiny.. Since .big. is in the first statement and .tiny. in the third statement, we have a chain of I+E+I=(I+E)+I=O=I No conclusion Hence IV also does not follow.
