What 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!

suppose 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]

guys 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]

if 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!
