    The document discusses different types of immediate and mediate possibilities in propositional logic: (1) Immediate possibilities include statements with quantifiers like All, Some, and No and can be of type A, E, I, or O. (2) Mediate possibilities involve combining two immediate possibility statements using quantifiers like A+I, A+O, E+O, I+I, I+O, O+A, O+E, and O+O. (3) When combining two statements, six standard cases of possibilities exist as conclusions: All S are Q, Some S are Q, Some S are not Q, All Q are S, Some Q are S,

    POSSIBILITY

    I.Immediate Possibility

    A-TYPE[All S are P]

    (i) All P are S


    (ii) All S are P

    E-TYPE[No S are P]

    K
    (i) No S are P

    I-TYPE[Some S are P]

    (i) All S are P


    (ii) Some S are P

    KUNDAN
    (iii) Some S are not P
    (iv) All P are S
    (v) Some P are not S

    O-TYPE[Some S are not P]

    (i) No S are P
    (ii) Some S are P
    (iii) Some S are not P
    (iv) No P are S
    (v) All P are S
    (vi) Some P are S
    (vii) Some P are not S
    II.Mediate Possibility
    (1) A+I
    (2) A+O
    (3) E+E
    (4) E+O
    (5) I+I
    (6) I+O
    and similarly O+A,O+E, O+I,O+O also.

    Suppose the aligned statements are like the given below(I am giving
    example only for A + I type):

    K
    All S are P
    Some P are Q...........for other types do them yourself

    From all the avobe types of aligned propositions,definite conclusions


    cannot be drawn,therefore,cases of possibilities exist.Following are the
    all standard cases of possibilities that exist for all the above combina-

    KUNDAN
    tions:

    (i)All S are Q
    (ii)Some S are Q
    (iii)Some S are not Q
    (iv)All Q are S
    (v)Some Q are S
    (vi)Some Q are not S
    K
    KUNDAN
