  1. Statements:

    Inferences:
    I. All girls will be humiliated one day.
    II. Some girls will be humiliated one day.
    1. Only I follows
    2. Only II follows
    3. Both I & II follow
    4. Neither of them follows
Correct Option: C

Both the Premises are Universal Affirmative (A-type).
Both the Premises are already aligned.
All girls are proud ↔ All proud will be humiliated one day
We know that,
A + A ⇒ A – type Conclusion Therefore, our derived Conclusion would be:
“All girls will be humiliated one day”.
Conclusion II is the converse of the derived Conclusion. Thus, both the Conclusions follow.
