1guys u both were just giving elaboration on the falacy i mentioned....u were asked to find the LACUNAE in above reasoning which leads to this fallacy and hence generate a very important conclusion regarding conjunction[1]

71What I think :
Suppose we have a set A such that 2 ε A and also 3 ε A , that doesn't mean that 5 ε A.
OR When we have already provided an statement for one friend of X that is a cricketer, in the second chance since none of his friends are active at other fields we cannot again refer to the same 3 persons.
Hence the second statement contains the fallacy.
LOL! But I think this is a nice explanation!
49suppose a set S has 3 elements 2, 3 and 5.
Thus, one element in set S is 2
also one element in set S is 3
both of the above are true but if their conjunction is said..i.e.
one element in set S is both 2 and 3...then there is a greaaaaaaaaaaat falacy...
this fallacy is same as the fallacy in the problem!! [1][1][1]
11if i could have figured out lacunae then i would not have asked on the forum...time for calling some expert to solve the fallacy! and fill loophole in our thinking!
