Statements: At least some number are digit. Some digit are prime. Each prime is composite. Conclusions: I. Some number are composite II. At least some digit are composite.Solution
At least some number are digit (I) + Some digit are prime (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion I does not follow. Some digit are prime (I) + Each prime is composite (A) → Some digit are composite (I). Hence conclusion II follows.
