Statement: Those hilly areas will be declared backward where forest area does not exist.
Conclusions:
I. Hilly forest areas are not backward.
II. In backward areas hills are without forest.
Explanation:
Conclusion I follows: if a hilly area lacks forest, it is declared backward; therefore, hilly areas with forest are not declared backward. Conclusion II does not follow because the statement only defines a condition for declaring backwardness, not that all backward areas are hilly and without forest.
Explanation:
Since some B are C, and no B is A, the portion of C that is B can never be A. Thus, some C are definitely not A (Conclusion I). However, we do not know if the rest of A interacts with the rest of C, so Conclusion II does not follow.
