Question

Choose the set of three statements which are most logically related:
Statements:
A. All those who achieve great ends are happy.
B. All young people are happy.
C. All young people achieve great ends.
D. No young people achieve great ends.
E. No young people are happy.
F. Some young people are happy.

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Hint:

When one statement logically implies another (e.g., “all” implies “some”), they can coexist without contradiction.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

We are searching for a trio that is logically consistent.
If we take A (“All those who achieve great ends are happy”), B (“All young people are happy”), and F (“Some young people are happy”):
- From B, we already know all young people are happy.
- From A, any person (young or old) achieving great ends is included in the happy group, which is consistent with B.
- F is a weaker statement implied by B (if all young people are happy, then certainly some are happy). It doesn’t contradict A or B.
These three statements fit together without contradiction, while other options introduce inconsistencies like “all young people” vs “no young people” achieving great ends.
