SYLLOGISMS CONCEPTS

SYLLOGISMS

Syllogisms is one of the main topics in Verbal or Logical Reasoning in various competitive exams like SBI PO, IBPS PO, SBI Clerk, IBPS Clerk, SBI Associate PO, CAT, IBPS RRB, SSC CGL, NICL AO, NIACL AO, LIC AAO, etc. Generally 5-6 questions are asked on this topic alone in each of these exams. As it is an important, easy and scoring topic, you should have good command over it. Follow some basic concepts and rules explained in this first article of the series, and you can easily solve these types of questions in just a few seconds.

What are Syllogisms

A syllogism is a kind of logical argument that applies deductive reasoning to arrive at a conclusion based on two or more premises (also called propositions) that are asserted or assumed to be true.

The conclusion asserts no more than what is already contained, implicitly, in the premises. If it does, the syllogism is invalid.

An important thing to be kept in mind is that one has to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts.

Types of Premises

A premise is a statement which comprises of two terms; a subject and a predicate, connected by a relation.

·         Subject is that about which something is said and    Predicate states something about the subject.

If another premise contains one of these terms (known as the common term), we can deduce a relation between the non-common terms.

Now we are going to look in to concept :-

Please kip pen with you go through each concept one by one and understand how to draw venn diagram for each concept.

I insist you to go one by one. Understand the one concept and then go to next one.

SELECTIONS

There are four categories you must remember. These tell you how many objects have a certain attribute or how many you have selected. 

1. All (i.e. you can select every object in the group.)

2. Some (i.e. you can select a few objects in the group.)

3. None (i.e. you can leave out all objects in the group.)

4. Some Not (i.e. you can leave out a few objects in the group.)

CONCEPTS :-

Concept 1 - All A are B

The general representation of this premise is as shown below :

But there may be a case where A=B, then also this premise is true.

Concept 2 - No A are B

This premise is represented as:

Concept 3 - Some A are B

It can be depicted as:

The space between A & B denotes the premise.

NOTE: Looking at this general representation, one may perceive that if ‘some A are B’ then ‘some A are not B’.

But the following cases can also imply ‘Some A are B’

- All B are A.

- All A are B.

- A and B are identical.

We can see that in the case where

(i) A is a subset of B or

(ii) A=B,

the premise ‘some A are not B’ does not hold true.

Concept 3 - Some A are not B

This premise can also be represented as

Solving Syllogisms using Venn diagram

Venn diagram method is an effective and precise method to solve syllogism problems.

You can follow the below steps to answer them:

In order to solve a syllogism, 

1. draw the standard diagram based on the given statements.

2. Then try to check which of the given conclusions follow in every possible case.

3. If a conclusion is true for one case but is negated for the other possible                           representation, it is not considered as a conclusion.

4. In other words, a conclusion follows only if it is true for all the possible cases.

EXAMPLE:-

EXAMPLE-1

All A are B. Some B are C.

Conclusion: All A being C is a possibility.

Conclusion is true.

Possibility figure –

EXAMPLE-2

No stone is a white.  Some white are papers.

Conclusions: I. All stones being paper is a possibility.

Possibility figure –

Conclusion is true.

EXAMPLE-3

Some mouse is cat.

All mouse are pets.  No pet is animal.

Conclusions: I. All mouse being animal is a possibility.

Conclusion is false 

because possibility figure is not possible.

If we say all mouse being animal is possibility is true, than given statements No pet is animal will be wrong. Here in the statement it is given No pet is animal and All mouse is pet. So we can make also conclusion here that no mouse are animal is true.

Important Rule:

Restatement is not a conclusion – Conclusion has to be different from the statement.

E.g. Statement – All A are B

Conclusion – All are B. (invalid) Conclusion does not follow.

Conclusion – Some A are B (follow) Conclusion follows.

Note: If statement and conclusion is same then, conclusion does not follow. This rules also follows in possibilities case

How many squares actually ARE in this picture?

There are total of 16 squares.

How?

Lets count :-

Squares with side length equal to 1 matchstick: 9

Squares with side length equal to 2 matchsticks: 5(2+1+2)

Square with side length equal to 3 matchsticks: 1 (This is difficult to find, and easy to miss)

Square with side length equal to 4 matchsticks: 1 

So total number of squares = 16

एंटी टैंक मिसाइल का उपयोग कर सेना ने पाकिस्तानी चौकी व सात बंकर उड़ाए

एंटी टैंक मिसाइल का उपयोग कर सेना ने पाकिस्तानी चौकी व सात बंकर उड़ाए 

भारतीय सेना ने पाक सेना को सबक सिखाने के लिए एंटी टैंक मिसाइल का उपयोग किया है। एक मई को पुंछ के कृष्णा घाटी सेक्टर में पाक की बार्डर एक्शन टीम के सदस्य जिनमें पाक सेना के विशेष कमांडो व आतंकी मौजूद थे उन्होंने भारतीय खेत्र में दाखिल होकर सेना व सीमा सुरक्षा बल के एक एक जवान को शहीद करके उनके शवों को क्षत विक्षत कर दिया था।

उस दिन भी भारतीय सेना ने पाक सेना को कड़ा जवाब दिया था, लेकिन उसके बाद भारतीय सेना पाक सेना पर अपनी ही जमीन से बड़ी कार्रवाई की तैयारी में जुट चुकी थी। अब भारतीय सेना ने पाक सेना को जवाब देने का कार्य शुरू कर दिया है। भारतीय सेना ने एंटी टैंक मिसाइल का उपयोग करके सीमा के उस पार पाक सेना की एक चौकी व सात बंकर तबाह कर दिए है। इस कार्रवाई में पाक सेना के जवानों के शव बंकरों के बाहर गिरते हुए देखे गए। सूत्रों का कहना है कि आने वाले दिनों में भारतीय सेना इस तरह की कार्रवाई को और तेज करेगी।
