Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven statement : 'most of the students are obedient' is taken to be true
1. All obedient persons are students: This is not necessarily true. The statement only refers to students, not all people. There could be obedient people who are not students.
2. All students are obedient: This is not true either. The statement explicitly says "most" students are obedient, implying there are some who are not.
3. Some students are obedient: This is definitely true. Since most are obedient, at least some must be.
4. Some students are not obedient: This is also true. Since the statement doesn't say all students are obedient, it follows that some must not be.
Hence the correct answer is Option 3: 3 and 4
