Hi friends Syllogisms is one of the easy to win


questions in reasoning, but we have seen so
many aspirants are finding difficult in solving
these questions. Usually Venn diagram method
(Easy) is used to solve these but they will
consume time in case of NO/Possibility
conclusion cases. So here we are explaining the
concept of Syllogism with some examples by
using some simple rules.
First and foremost have a quick glance at the

If the conclusion is in Possibility case then these rules must be applied.


If All A are B then we can say - Some B are Not A is a Possibility
If Some B are Not A then we can say - All A are B is a Possibility
If Some A are B then we can say - All A are B is a Possibility All B are A is a Possibility
That is
All <=> Some Not Reversed
Some => All
NO Conclusion = Any Possibility is true
When it is implemented (In case of Conclusion from Single Statement)
1. All => Some that means if All A are B then Some B are A is true.
2. Some <=> Some that means if Some A are B then Some B are A is true.
3. No <=> No that means if No A is B then NO B is A is true

How to use these Syllogism Rules to solve questions?


Inorder to solve Syllogism there are two types:
1. Cross Cancellation
2. Vertical Cancellation
Let us see about Cross Cancellation with example:
Example 1:
Statements:
1. All Cows are Parrots
2. All Parrots are Birds

3. No Bird is Monkey
Conclusions:
1. No Parrot is Monkey
2. Some Cows being Monkey is Possibility
We know you might be able to solve it by using Venn diagram method that's good but this method
won't help or a bit tough when it comes to No or possibility Conclusions
Here is explanation
Lets take 1st conclusion, we have to make relation between Parrot and Monkey so we will take
statements 2 and 3.

open in browser PRO version

This is called Cross Cancellation , We have cancelled Bird from Bird so we have left with (ALL+NO)
rule, and that leads to No Parrot is Monkey So Conclusion I is TRUE.
In second statement we have Cow and Monkey so we will need to make relation between them.
For this we need to take all 3 statements.

Now we have left with ((All+All)+NO) that is No Cow is Monkey . We dont have any rule to convert
this statement into Possibility so second conclusion is FALSE
I think we are clear with above explanation now see about Vertical Cancellation
Example 2:
Statements:
1. Some Mails are Messages
2. All Updates are Messages
Conclusion:
1. All Mails Being Update is a Possibility
2. No Update is Mail

Lets take Conclusion All Mails Being Update is a Possibility that means we have to make relation
between Mails and Updates

This is called Vertical cancellation. In this case direction of adding first phrase will be reversed i.e In

open in browser PRO version

pdfcrowd.com

Above example the conclusion will be All+Some = No Conclusion.


IF we get No Conclusion in case of Possibility then according to Rules in Possibility case will be
definitely true. So Conclusion 1 follows and Conclusion 2nd Dont.
So far we have seen how to deal with All, Some, Some Not and No now let us see about Some Not
in reversed condition.
What is Some Not (Reversed)?
To explain this lets take a Simple example
1. No A is B
2. All B is C

So the conclusion you get for this will be as follows


(No+All) A is C = (Some Not Reversed) A is C
Therefore
Some C are Not A.
Finally my advice is...
Use this only if there are No or Possibility conclusions by following the above rules else you can
happily use Venn Diagram method (If you find this method useful though). Don't get more confused
for easy topics by doing unnecessary faults.
Lastly feel free to ask us if you have any doubts....
Enjoy Reading
Update:
Hi guys recently I have found one rule and some terms that are asking in tests these days which I
intend to share with you guys...
"No" statement can be converted into two types
1. Some Not
2. No (interchanging Subject and Predicate)
Confused???
Let me explain this with an Example
Suppose statement is given as No Professor is Student then this statement can be valid to take as
1. Some Professor are not Student
2. No Student is Professor
cleared now.

Another update is now a days in exams they are mentioning None, Only, Almost etc instead of All,
Some in both statements and conclusions so I'm listing the terms here.
All => Every, Each, Any, None, Not a single, Only
Remaining will be treated as follows
Some, Many, a few, Quite a few, Not many, Very little, Most of, Almost, Generally, Often,
Frequently, Atleast
Note: As far as I know these terms are very rare for Bank Exams.

Hi Lalita,
No need to get confused every method is meant to solve quickly, here you can follow
any method but the thing is time consumption... Venn diagram takes a bit more time
incase of No and Possibilities comparing to Syllogism Rules I mentioned. If there
aren't any NO, Possibilities and you feel Venn model is easy you can use that...

how would we apply vertical cancellation to this kind of question:
all calenders are papers.
some calenders are animals.
conclusion: 1) some papers are animals 2) some animals are papers
according to venn diagram both are true but according to vertical cancellation no conclusion
should be the answer as all+some=no conclusion.
should i reverse the phrase here as well? is there any difference in considering the order of
phrases when it comes to right vertical cancellation or left vertical cancellation?

Hi,
I already mentioned in the above explanation USE these rules only in cases of NO and
Possibilities Cases to avoid confusions.
Anyway here in vertical cancellation as mentioned above you have to take
Some + All = Some
so that you will get Some Animals are Papers = 2nd conclusion
and Some can be reversed so that
Some animals are papers = Some papers are animals is true

Hi,
I'd like to appreciate the efforts you put in imparting such useful imformation about syllogism. I'm
sure a lot of people will benefit from it.
I have a query and i'll be grateful if you could provide the detailed explanation of the technique that
you will use in solving it.
Q: All Parrots are Flowers
No Flower is a carrot
All carrots are fruits
Conclusion: Some Flowers being fruits is a possibility.
Is the above conclusion true or false?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, sorry for the delay reply


By cross cancelling 2nd and 3rd you will get Some fruits are not flowers
Don't get confused here this is a tricky one, they have asked Possibility condition.
From above the conclusion it is clear that it must be Some Not right
so in these type of cases if possibility is given in any one of these Some or Not
Say for example "Some Flowers being fruits is a possibility" or "No Flowers being fruits
is a possibility" then it is "True"...(Remember only incase of Possibility)
if it is not given it it do not follows
say "Some Flowers are fruits" this is "False"

Hi Praveen,
In first conclusion Poor and Intelligent are taken so first you have to take A and B, by
cancelling Rich you will get Some poor are doctors as you see some + some = no
conclusion 1st one is false.
In 2nd conclusion Intelligent and doctors are taken if you do vertical cancellation Some
+ All = Some Intelligent are Rich
by rule in possibility Some A are B => All A are B is a Possibility or All B are A is a
Possibility
so 2nd follows

Hi Ashok,
First one already explained in above comments.
2nd ques
Some + No = Some Not
so
Some televisions are not mobile is correct remember ONLY SOME can be taken in
both ways whereas Some Not cannot.
3rd question
No + No = no conclusion
Therefore any Possibility will Follow
So Both follows since both have Possibility in them

Akanksha Srivastava June 19, 2015 11:27 a.m.

Q1:
Some apples are fruits + No fruit is vegetable = some apple are not vegetables as
some not appears 1st conclusion will not follow
If we take All potatoes are vegetables + No vegetable is fruits = No potato is fruit
Therefore Neither follows.
Q2:
All + No = No potato is fruit => No fruit is potato 1st follows
By converting 3rd we get Some apples are fruits (don't care about Atleast).
So Both Follows.

If the conclusion is in Possibility case then these rules must be applied.
If All A are B then we can say - Some B are Not A is a Possibility
If Some B are Not A then we can say - All A are B is a Possibility
If Some A are B then we can say - All A are B is a Possibility All B are A is a Possibility
That is
All <=> Some Not Reversed
Some => All
NO Conclusion = Any Possibility is true
As given are these the only rules for possibility cases.............?
If there are any other please share......
And thanks for the help

In example 2 you are saying that conclusion 1 is following but in the statements it is written 'all
updates are messages' which mean Update is inner circle of messages. if we will follow the
conclusion 1 which is all mails being update is a possiblity. Then it will result in mails as inner

to get conclusion.
so No + All gives Some Not Reversed you get Some teachers are not houses

as per rule Some + Some gives None so any possibility is True so it Follows.
2. Just reverse the 2nd statement you will get it.
1. Here D and B are given as far as I remember that As well as is a possibility case.

Hi Saketh,
I have already explained this in above post anyway here it is.
To explain this lets take a Simple example
No A is B
All B is C
So the conclusion you get for this will be as follows
(No+All) A is C = (Some Not Reversed) A is C
Therefore
Some C are Not A.
the subject and predicate will interchange their places...

Hi Hema, welcome to my blog...


If question consists of 3 statements doesn't mean you have make use of all 3 for every
conclusion. You have to consider only those statements which are useful to get
conclusions.
Some times answers will be appeared only using 1 or 2 statements also.
Well coming to your example, it is not correct as "Papers" is not given in question.
Also 1st and 2nd conclusions do not follows.

Hi Gaurav,
First convert Only = All and Most, Many = Some
then
For 1st conclusion All medicines are tablets + Some tablets are tonic = no conclusion
So it do not follows - similarly for 2nd conclusion...
As per rule Some => All Possibility 3rd conclusion follows
and there is no conclusion for 4th, also Possibility is given so it follows

Hi Vivek, Thanks for commenting...


1. All + No = No nights are evenings => No evenings are nights True
2. No + All = Some day are Not noon => All Day being Noon is a Possibility
(3&4). Some + No = Some papers are not card
but in these cases if conclusions has Some and No with same subject and Predicates
then Either or is true
5. No + All does not give No so it is False
6. No + No = No conclusion so False
All the Best.

(1) Only I and II follow


(2) Only II follows
(3) Only I, II and III follow
(4) Only I and III follow
(5) None of these
solve this here ans is 2
but for the conlusion 3 we take statement 2 and 3 then there will be no conclusion because of
vertical cancellation all+some= no conclusion i want to know that if we take 3 and 2 in order then
by vertical cancellation we will get some+all=some
then conclusion 3 would be true? please make it clear.

No Akanksha you should not change the order like that...


You should only 1 to 2 or 2 to 3 or 1 to 3 like this not in any other way if you do so you
will never find correct answer for any syllogism...
and for your previous doubt I forgot to remove the above explanation for Autumn
problem which led you into confusion don't let it bother you...
When is your test anyway?

Hi Hema,
1. Take 3 and 4 statements as they mentioned Plate and Cup
Some + Some = No answer so it do not follows
2. You have to use 2, 3 and 4 for this but
All + Some also does not give any answer so it is also not true.
3. Take 1 and 2 you get All Papers are Cups => Some cups are papers
4. Convert 1st statement All papers are bottles => Some bottles are papers
So Only 3 and 4 follows

my name is niket.
my doubt is how to implement your logic in this qstn as i don't know the venn diagram method.so
please explain me with ur logic how to solve this.Here all the 3 names (teacher,
professors,lecturer) are used together in conclusion in single statement.
Some teachers are professors.
Some lecturers are teachers.

Conclusions:
I. All teachers as well as professors being
lecturers is a possibility.
II. All those teachers who are lecturers are
also professors.
1) if only conclusion I follows.
2) if only conclusion II follows.
3) if either conclusion I or conclusion II follows.
4) if neither conelusion I nor conclusion II follows.
5) if both conclusions I and II follow.

Hi Niket,
Lets see conclusion wise
1. From 1st Some teachers are professors there are possibilities that
All teachers are professors
All professors are teachers
Similarly, from 2nd Some lecturers are teachers there is a possibility that
All teachers are lecturers
So from All professors are teachers + All teachers are lecturers we get
All professors are lecturers.
Therefore All teachers and professors are lecturers is a possibility.
Note: All this is happened because they mentioned about POSSIBILITY here
in 1st conclusion so it follows
2. In 2nd conclusion they didn't gave possibility case so it is not possible to get
conclusion that is why it doesn not follow.
Tip: Some + Some => No conclusion which leads any possibility to TRUE

hii mam/sir
i am Niket.
what i understood from your explanation is as follows.if i understood wrong let me know.

1. From 1st Some teachers are professors we can conclude following


All teachers being professors is a possiblity.
All professors being teachers is a possibility
Similarly, from 2nd Some lecturers are teachers we can conclude following
All teachers being lecturers is a possibility.
All lecturers being teacher is a possibility.
So from All professors being teachers is a possibility+ All teachers being lecturers being a
possibility we get
All professors being lecturers is a possibility.(All+All=ALL)
Therefore All teachers and professors are lecturers is a possibility.

is there anyone to answer this?
if conclucion is in possibility, and both the conclusion follows all the rule of either or,
then will it be considered as a 'either or' case or neither 'nor case'?

Statement:- All A are B
Conclusion:A) Some B are A is a possibility.
B) Some B are not A.
Look,
Here both the conclusion are wrong,
both have same subject and predicate,
first one is positive and second one is negative,
