conclusions must be true, which is represented by option either (i) or (ii). These
types of pairs are called complementary pairs.
Note: All A are B & Some A are not B are also complementary pairs.
Note: It is important to note that, in complementary pairs, one of the two
conclusion is true and other will be false simultaneously.
