Direction for the following 2 (two) items: Consider the given information and answer the two items (9-10) that follow.

No supporters of “Party X’, who knew Z and supported his campaign strategy, agreed to the alliance with “Party Y’, but some of them had friends in ‘Party Y’.

With reference to the above information, consider the following statements:
1. Some supporters of ‘ Party X’ knew Z.
2. Some supporters of ‘ Party X’, who opposed Z’s campaign strategy, knew Z.
3. No supporters of ‘Party X’ supported Z’s campaign strategy.

Which of the statements given above is/are not correct?

Correct Answer: Option (b) 2 and 3 only

Let's carefully analyze the given information statement by statement:

Given Information:
"No supporters of 'Party X', who knew Z and supported his campaign strategy, agreed to the alliance with 'Party Y', but some of them had friends in 'Party Y'."

From this given statement, we can break down the facts about supporters of 'Party X':
1. There exists a group of supporters of 'Party X' who knew Z, supported Z's campaign strategy, and had friends in 'Party Y' (even though none of them agreed to the alliance with 'Party Y').
2. Since this specific group exists, it explicitly confirms that some supporters of 'Party X' knew Z and some supporters of 'Party X' supported Z's campaign strategy.

Now, let's evaluate each of the given statements to determine whether it is correct or not correct:

Statement 1: "Some supporters of 'Party X' knew Z."
- Based on the given text, there were supporters of 'Party X' who knew Z (specifically those who supported his campaign strategy and had friends in 'Party Y').
- Therefore, Statement 1 is correct.

Statement 2: "Some supporters of 'Party X', who opposed Z's campaign strategy, knew Z."
- The given text only provides information about supporters of 'Party X' who supported Z's campaign strategy.
- It provides no information whatsoever regarding supporters who opposed Z's campaign strategy.
- Therefore, we cannot logically conclude Statement 2 from the premise, making Statement 2 not correct (unsubstantiated/false).

Statement 3: "No supporters of 'Party X' supported Z's campaign strategy."
- The given text explicitly mentions supporters of 'Party X' who "supported his campaign strategy".
- Thus, stating that no supporters supported his strategy directly contradicts the given information.
- Therefore, Statement 3 is definitely not correct.

Conclusion:
The question asks which of the statements is/are not correct.
As analyzed above, Statements 2 and 3 are not correct.
