Read the given statement(s) and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statement(s). Statement: Most students know English language. Conclusions: 1. Some students know English language. 2. Some students do not know English language.
Logical Reasoning Solution: Students Knowing English
Statement Analysis
The statement is: "Most students know English language."
In logical reasoning, "Most" implies a majority, meaning more than 50% of the group. Crucially, it also implies that not all members of the group belong to that category. Therefore, the statement means:
- More than 50% of students know English.
- Less than 50% of students do not know English (and implicitly, at least one student does not know English).
Conclusion 1 Analysis
Conclusion 1 is: "Some students know English language."
Since the statement guarantees that more than 50% of students know English, it logically follows that at least a portion (some) of the students know the language. "Some" means at least one.
Therefore, Conclusion 1 logically follows.
Conclusion 2 Analysis
Conclusion 2 is: "Some students do not know English language."
The term "Most" implies that not all students know English. If more than 50% know English, then less than 50% do not know English. This remaining portion represents "some" students who do not know the language.
Therefore, Conclusion 2 logically follows.
Final Deduction
Both conclusions are direct logical consequences of the given statement "Most students know English language."
- Conclusion 1: True (Majority implies some).
- Conclusion 2: True (Majority implies not all, hence some do not).
Thus, both conclusions 1 and 2 follow.
