Syllogism by Rules Part 3: Actual Rules Syllogism

Shortcut to solve syllogism by rules

Day 3: Actual Rules Syllogism

 

Rule Table: Learn it so that next time you don’t have to refer this table

S.No First Proposition Second Proposition Conclusion
1 ALL ALL ALL
2 ALL NO NO
3 ALL SOME NO CONLCUSION*
4 SOME ALL SOME
5 SOME NO SOME NOT
6 SOME SOME NO CONCLUSION*
7 NO ALL SOME NOT REVERSED
8 NO SOME SOME NOT REVERSED
9 NO NO NO CONCLUSION*
10 Some Not Anything(Some/No/All/Some Not) NO CONLCUSION*
*No Conclusion= Any Possibility is True

Note that we will have to use the concept of Rearrangement and Reversal that we have learned on Day 1 and Day 2 to solve Syllogism by rules.

Examples

1) All+All=All

All Red are Green + All Green are Blue. => Conclusion=  All Red is Blue
Note: The reverse of the obtained conclusion i.e Reverse of All Red is Blue = Some Blue is Red will also be true.

2) All + No= No

All Red is green + No Green is Blue => Conclusion= No Red is blue.
Reverse conclusion= No Blue is Red

3) All+Some=No Conclusion

All Red is Green + Some Green is Blue => Conclusion= No conclusion can be drawn between Red And Blue. (But No conclusion means that any possibility between Red and Blue will be true)
Example: All Red being blue is a possibility.
Some Red are blue is a possibility
Some red are not blue is a possibility
No red is blue is a possibility.
All these possibility are true.

4) Some + All= Some 
Some Red is green + All green is blue. => Conclusion= Some Red is blue.
Reverse conclusion=some blue is red.

5) Some + No = Some Not

Some Red is green + No green is blue=> Conclusion= Some Red is Not Blue

6) Some + Some= No Conclusion

Some Red is Green + Some Green is blue. => Conclusion= No Conclusion = Any possibility between Red and Blue is true (Same as in (3))

7) No + All = Some Not Reversed
No Red is Green + All Green is blue => (Apply Some Not on Reversed entity. i.e reverse Red and blue)
Means First Blue then Red at last and put Some Not
=> Conclusion= Some Blue are Not Red

8) No + Some = Some Not Reversed
No Red is Green + Some Green is blue => Conclusion= Some Blue is not Red

9) No + No = No
No Red is Green + No Green is blue => No Conclusion.

Exercise for the Day

Solve only by rules. Don’t use venn diagram.

  1. Statement:
    (a) Some A are B
    (b) All A are C
    Conclusion:
    (i) Some B are C
    (ii) Some C are A
    (iii) Some B are A
    A) Only (i)
    B) Only (ii)
    C) Both (i) and (ii)
    D) Both (ii) and (iii)
    E) All
    View Answer
    Option E
    Explanation
    : For (i) => reverse(a) + (b) => Some B are A+ All A are C => Some + All= Some => Some B are C is true.
    For (ii) true by reverse of (b) . For (iii) True by reverse of (a)
  2. Statement:
    (a) No pink is white
    (b) All white is red
    Conclusion:
    (i) Some red are not pink
    (ii) Some pink are not red
    A) Only (i)
    B) Only (ii)
    C) Either
    D) Both
    E) Neither
    View Answer
    Option A
    Explanation
    : No+All = Some not reversed=> Some red are not pink.
    Please Note: Some A are not B DOESNOT MEANS THAT Some B are Not A.
  3. Statement:
    (a) All A are B.
    (b) Some C are B
    Conclusion:
    (i) All A are C
    (ii) Some A are C
    (iii) All A are C is a possibility
    A) Only (i)
    B) Only (ii)
    C) Only (iii)
    D) None follows
    View Answer
    Option C
    Explanation
    : For FIRST & LAST RULE to be applicable. We have to reverse (b). So we get
    All A are B + Some B are C => All+ Some = No conclusion between A and C => any possibility between A and C is true. So only (iii) is true.
  4. Statement:
    (a)Some Samsung are Phone
    (b) No Samsung is Vivo.
    Conclusion:
    (i) Some Vivo are not phone
    (ii) Some Phone are not Vivo
    (iii) No Vivo is samsung
    A) (i) and (iii)
    B) (iii)
    C) (ii) and (iii)
    D) (ii)
    E) All
    View Answer
    Option C
    Explanation
    : For (ii): Reverse any of the two statement, as the preference of both are equal. Here I am reversing (a). So we get=> Some Phone are Samsung + No samsung is vivo => Some + No = Some Not => Some phone are not vivo. So (ii) is true. You can try by reversing (b). The conclusion will be same.
    For (iii) It is the reverse of (b). So true
  5. Statement:
    (a) Some A are B
    (b) Some B are C
    Conclusion:
    (i) Some A are C
    (ii) No A is C is a possiblity
    (iii) Some C are B
    A) Only (ii)
    B) Only (iii)
    C) Only (i)
    D) None
    E) Both (ii) and (iii)
    View Answer
    Option E
    Explanation
    : For (ii) we have Some + Some = No conclusion between A and C. So any possibility is true between A and C. So (ii) is true.
    (iii) is true by reverse of (b)

Topic for Day 4: Use of rules to solve more than 2 statements simultaneously.

    7. Yogi ji

      3 Ka second correct

    1. Yogi ji

      Some not wale btao

      1. Suraj

        jin do entoty k bech relation nikalna hai unko arrange karo pehle FIRST LAST RULE k babis pe, jo ki first two day sikhaya gaya hai,, then using todays rule find the relation.
        for example to check conclusion C) i.e between pen and paper. we need 3rd and 4th statement
        i.e .all pen are pencil .no pencil is paper
        All +No= no
        => no pen is paper
        => some pen is not paper is also true

        1. Yogi ji

          Some pen is not paper possiblty

          1. Suraj

            nhi True conclusion k aage possibilty lag jaye to wo false hoga..
            so Some pen is not paper possiblty is false

        2. paakhi

    sir isme 2 q nahi follow krta plzz explain

    1. Suraj

      Statements are: No pink is white+ All white is red
      it is in the form No+All = SOme not reverse
      yani ki jo last me term hai usko pehle likho i.e Red aur jo pehle hai usse last me likho means pink and add SOme not
      so it becomes
      Some red are not pink

    Sir i have a major dbt
    Statements : All leaves are roots. Some leaves are branches.
    Conclusions : I. Some branches are not leaves.
    II. Atleast some roots are branches.
    How to slove this ??
    The ans is only 2 follows

    1. Learnie

      conclusion one doesn’t follow as per rule some A is B can be written as some B is A here conclusion some branches are not leaves this cant be converted
      if it is possibility then ok if not then it doesn’t follow

      2 conclusions follows – write some branches are leaves and all leaves are roots – cut the leaves then it will be some + all = some so some branches are roots

  22. Hi there, I found your blog via Google while searching for a related topic, your web site came up, it looks great. I’ve bookmarked it in my google bookmarks.

  23. Your place is valueble for me. Thanks!?

  24. Things i have constantly told individuals is that when you are evaluating a good on-line electronics retail outlet, there are a few issues that you have to consider. First and foremost, you would like to make sure to look for a reputable and reliable retailer that has got great evaluations and ratings from other customers and marketplace experts. This will ensure you are dealing with a well-known store that gives good assistance and support to its patrons. Thanks for sharing your notions on this blog site.

  25. What i don’t realize is actually how you’re not really much more well-liked than you might be right now. You are so intelligent. You realize therefore considerably relating to this subject, made me personally consider it from a lot of varied angles. Its like women and men aren’t fascinated unless it is one thing to do with Lady gaga! Your own stuffs outstanding. Always maintain it up!

  26. I am so happy to read this. This is the type of manual that needs to be given and not the accidental misinformation that’s at the other blogs. Appreciate your sharing this greatest doc.

  27. Terrific work! This is the type of info that should be shared around the web. Shame on Google for not positioning this post higher! Come on over and visit my web site . Thanks =)

  28. There are certainly a lot of particulars like that to take into consideration. That is a nice point to convey up. I supply the ideas above as common inspiration however clearly there are questions like the one you bring up the place a very powerful thing will likely be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around issues like that, but I’m positive that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Both girls and boys feel the affect of only a second?s pleasure, for the rest of their lives.

  29. Hello, you used to write wonderful, but the last few posts have been kinda boring? I miss your tremendous writings. Past several posts are just a bit out of track! come on!

  30. Wow! This can be one particular of the most helpful blogs We’ve ever arrive across on this subject. Actually Wonderful. I am also an expert in this topic so I can understand your effort.

  31. Thanks for the guidelines you have shared here. Yet another thing I would like to express is that laptop memory needs generally rise along with other developments in the know-how. For instance, as soon as new generations of processors are made in the market, there is certainly usually a corresponding increase in the shape preferences of both the personal computer memory along with hard drive room. This is because software program operated by these processor chips will inevitably boost in power to take advantage of the new know-how.

  32. I’ve observed that in the world the present moment, video games are classified as the latest rage with children of all ages. Many times it may be extremely hard to drag young kids away from the activities. If you want the very best of both worlds, there are several educational gaming activities for kids. Interesting post.

  33. Thx for your post. I would like to say that the expense of car insurance varies widely from one policy to another, since there are so many different facets which contribute to the overall cost. As an example, the model and make of the automobile will have a huge bearing on the charge. A reliable ancient family car or truck will have a more economical premium when compared to a flashy sports vehicle.

  34. I have seen a great deal of useful items on your web-site about personal computers. However, I have the viewpoint that laptop computers are still less than powerful enough to be a sensible choice if you typically do tasks that require lots of power, for instance video editing and enhancing. But for web surfing, microsoft word processing, and the majority of other common computer functions they are perfectly, provided you never mind the little screen size. Thank you for sharing your opinions.

  35. Simply desire to say your article is as astounding. The clearness in your post is simply spectacular and i can assume you’re an expert on this subject. Well with your permission allow me to grab your feed to keep up to date with forthcoming post. Thanks a million and please carry on the enjoyable work.

  36. I’ve learned some new things as a result of your web site. One other thing I want to say is always that newer laptop or computer operating systems are likely to allow extra memory for use, but they in addition demand more storage simply to run. If one’s computer can’t handle much more memory as well as newest software package requires that storage increase, it is usually the time to shop for a new PC. Thanks

  37. It’s best to participate in a contest for one of the best blogs on the web. I will advocate this site!
