    Question

    “Amit is a businessman, so he must be rich”. From which of the following statements does the implication follow?

    A.

    Only businessmen are rich

    B.

    If one is not a businessman, he cannot be rich

    C.

    All businessmen are rich

    D.

    Some businessmen are rich

    Correct option is C

    Given:
    Premise sentence states: Amit is a businessman => Amit is rich. This expresses a rule "being a businessman implies being rich."

    Logic Used:
    “If P then Q” (P → Q) in categorical form corresponds to the universal affirmative “All P are Q” (i.e., all businessmen are rich).

    Solution:
    The implication “businessman => rich” is exactly the statement “All businessmen are rich.” Options 1 and 2 are converses/negations and do not follow; option 4 (“Some businessmen are rich”) is weaker than the given implication.

    Correct Answer: (c) All businessmen are rich.
