With reference to the above information, consider the following statements:
Which of the statements is/are not correct?
Statement 3 is not correct. The passage explicitly states, "No supporters of ‘party X’, who knew Z and supported his campaign strategy, agreed for the alliance with ‘party Y’; but some of them had friends in ‘party Y’." The phrase "some of them" refers to "supporters of ‘party X’, who knew Z and supported his campaign strategy." This directly confirms the existence of supporters of ‘party X’ who supported Z‘s campaign strategy. Therefore, the assertion that "No supporters of ‘party X’ supported Z‘s campaign strategy" is false.
Statement 1 is correct. The premise "No supporters of ‘party X’, who knew Z and supported his campaign strategy..." implies the existence of a group of individuals who are "supporters of ‘party X’" and "knew Z" and "supported his campaign strategy." If such a group exists, it logically follows that "Some supporters of ‘party X’ knew Z."
Statement 2 is correct. The given information identifies a specific group: "supporters of ‘party X’, who knew Z and supported his campaign strategy." This statement does not assert that *all* supporters of ‘party X’ who knew Z *also* supported his campaign strategy. Therefore, the information does not preclude the existence of other supporters of ‘party X’ who knew Z but *opposed* his campaign strategy. The statement "Some supporters of ‘party X’, who opposed Z’s campaign strategy knew Z" is consistent with the provided information.
