Given below are two statements. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Statement I:Conversion proceeds by interchanging the subject and predicate terms of the inference.
Statement II:All conversions are valid inferences.
ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true
BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false
CStatement I is true but Statement II is false ✓ Correct
DStatement I is false but Statement II is true
Correct answer: (C) Statement I is true but Statement II is false
Explanation
Conversion does interchange subject and predicate, yet not every conversion is valid, so Statement 1 is true and Statement 2 false.
To convert a proposition one transposes its subject and predicate terms.
This yields a valid converse for the E and I forms directly.
The A form converts only by limitation, and the O form does not convert at all.
Because some conversions fail, the claim that all are valid is false.
