What is Syllogism?

A syllogism is a question of verbal and is frequently asked in competitive examinations


in the Reasoning Section. The syllogism questions will comprise of one or more statements
followed by some conclusions. You have to find which conclusions logically follow the given
statements.

How to Solve Syllogism Questions in Government Exam?

In order to answer the Syllogism Questions, there are certain rules to be followed. Let us
take a quick glance at some of the main rules to solve Syllogism Problems:

1. All+All => All.


2. All+No => No.
3. All+Some => No Conclusion.
4. Some+All => Some.
5. Some+No => Some Not.
6. Some+Some => No Conclusion.

If the conclusion provided in the question is in “Possibility” case then you must proceed
as per the rules are given below-

● If All A are B => Some B is Not A is a Possibility.


● If Some B are Not A => All A are B is a Possibility.
● If Some A are B => All A are B is a Possibility & All B are A is a Possibility.

In possibilities cases, we need to create all possibilities to find whether the given


conclusion is possible or not. If it is possible and satisfies the given statement than the given
conclusion will follow otherwise conclusion will not follow.

Tips and Tricks to Solve Syllogism Questions

● Always make Venn diagrams for the easy representation of the information in the
question. Read all the statements given in the question one by one.
● Try to figure out how to draw Venn Diagrams for each statement.
● Observe if there are any familiar concepts or statements in the given syllogism.
● Finding the conclusion will be your next step.
● Figure out how to draw a conclusion for each concept/statement.
● You need not memorize any statement or conclusion.
● Make sure you understand the concept well and draw the Venn diagram accordingly.
● The major part is to attempt the questions in a sequential manner.
