Difference among Many , Most and Some in CR

by ajaykpat » Fri Jul 29, 2011 9:57 pm
Hi all champs,

could anyone pls explain the interchangeability among the words like Many , Most, some in
CR premises and Answer choices.

For example:

If premises refer to " Most " can we equate in answer choices with " All"

Likewise,
some = many
most = usually
many = most
Most = All

or any other combinations that you are aware of...

Many thanks,

From what I understand is,

Most = More than 90%

Many = around 40%

Some = may be below least.

Hey it is like this:

All = 100
Most = 51 to 100 ("a majority")
Some are not = 0 to 99 (also "Not All")
Most are not = 0 to 49
Some = 1 to 100 ("at least one")
None = 0
