A & B- No A is B. A ! B - Some A are not B. A @ B - Only a few B are A. A $ B - Some A can never be B. ^- possibility case. Note: if ^ is placed after any of the symbols mentioned above then it will be considered as a possible case of the symbol. E.g. A %^ B means all A being B is a possibility. Lamp # Oil; Wax @ Oil; Wax % Copper & Metal
      A Copper # ^ Oil Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Lamp ! Wax Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Wax $ Metal Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Oil % ^ Metal Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Copper & Lamp Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Statement: Some Lamp are Oil Only a few Oil are Wax All Wax are Copper No Copper is Metal a. Some Copper being Oil is a possibility = Β  Only a few Oil are Wax (I) + All Wax are Copper (A) β†’ Some Oil are Copper (I) β†’ Conversion β†’ Some Copper are Oil (I). It will not follow. b. Some Lamp are not Wax = Some Lamp are Oil (I) + Only a few Oil are Wax (I) β†’ No conclusion. It will not follow. c. Some Wax can never be Metal = All Wax are Copper (A) + No Copper is Metal (E) β†’ No Wax is not Metal (E) β†’ Conversion β†’ Some Wax can never be Metal (O). It will follow. d. All Oil being Metal is a possibility = Only a few Oil are Wax (I) + All Wax are Copper(A) β†’ Some Oil are Copper (I) + No Copper is Metal (E) β†’ Some Metal are not Oil (O) β†’ Probable conclusion β†’ Some Oil may be Metal (I). It will not follow. e. No Copper is Lamp = Β  Some Lamp are Oil (I) + Only a few Oil are Wax (I) β†’ No conclusion. It will not follow.
