Match List I (Type of proposition) with List II (Example) and choose the correct answer from the options given below.
List I
- Exceptive proposition
- Categorical proposition
- General proposition
- Compound proposition

AI-a, II-c, III-d, IV-b
BI-b, II-a, III-c, IV-d
CI-c, II-a, III-d, IV-b ✓ Correct
DI-d, II-b, III-c, IV-a
Correct answer: (C) I-c, II-a, III-d, IV-b — The correct match is I-c, II-a, III-d, IV-b, pairing each proposition type with its example.
Explanation
★The correct match is I-c, II-a, III-d, IV-b, pairing each proposition type with its example.
★An exceptive proposition uses only, as in the wicked alone are happy.
★A categorical proposition asserts a plain relation, as in ten is greater than five.
★A general proposition covers all members of a class, as in all mathematicians are skilled logicians.
★A compound proposition joins statements with a connective, as in the if-then about war and petrol.
★So exceptive matches the wicked alone and categorical matches ten greater than five.
★General matches all mathematicians and compound matches the if-then statement.
