Treat both statements as true and decide which conclusions necessarily follow. Statement I: More than half, but not all, of the engineering students are adults. Statement II: Harsh is an adult. Conclusion I: Harsh is an engineering student. Conclusion II: Some engineering students are not adults.
Only conclusion II follows.
“Not all” guarantees at least one engineering student who is not an adult, so II follows. Being an adult does not establish that Harsh is an engineering student, so I does not follow. Only II follows.
