SYLLOGISM CONCEPTS

 

Concept Of Syllogism

The concept of syllogism is simple and is based on the logical ability of a candidate. You are not expected to assume things based on your common belief. Instead, there are certain rules that you must follow while solving this topic. We solve this by doing the visual representation of the statements and then marking the answer following them. This visual representation is known as venn diagram. Given below are the how we represent certain relationships.

 

Rule 1- All A are B, as per this rule all the elements of the first are put inside the second element.

 

 

Rule 2- No A are B, this just shows that there is no relationship between the two elements

 

 

Rule 3- Some A are B, this implies that some of the elements of A are part of some of the element of B

 

 

Rule 4- Some A are not B, this implies that some of the elements of A are not B.

 

 

Another important rule in syllogism is to never assume anything by your own until and unless it is not given or mentioned. You will come across to certain statements that will not be coherent with the day today known facts but you have to work on those statement with your logical reasoning and not with your general awareness.

 

Given below are the statement type you will come across to in Syllogism:

 

Type 1: All A are B

 

Type 2: No A is B

 

Type 3: Some A are B

 

Type 4: Some A are not B

 

Given below is the Conclusion Type:

 

Type 1: All A are B

 

Type 2: No A are B

 

Type 3: Some A are B

 

Type 4: Some A are not B

 

Type 5: All A are B is a possibilities

 

Type 6: All A are not B is a possibilities

 

Type 7: At least some A areB

Types of conclusion in syllogism

There are mainly three types of conclusion in syllogism as given below:

  1. Positive- where we are 100% sure.
  2. Negative- In this, we are sure that it doesn’t
  3. Possibility- In this we are not 100% sure but Possible case may occur. In syllogism, a conclusion which is not 100% sure, it’s possibilities can happen i.e we are doubtful in saying it but the possibility may occur
