Then both 1 and 2 follows.
Then both 1 and 2 follows.

Let flutes be x, harmonium be y and instruments be z.
Therefore all y = z, all z = x.
Hence, all the harmoniums are flutes.
Therefore all y = z, all z = x.
Hence, all the harmoniums are flutes.

There are some conditions in syllogism.
For ALL = 100, 50.
SOME = 50, 50.
NO = 100, 100.
In conclusion the weight cannot be increased than statement, it can be decreased but cannot be increased, So conclusion 1 is wrong.
And one more to be remember if statement consist +ve, +ve then conclusion must be +ve.
If statement consist +ve, -ve then conclusion must be -ve. If statement consist -ve, -ve then No conclusion.
For ALL = 100, 50.
SOME = 50, 50.
NO = 100, 100.
In conclusion the weight cannot be increased than statement, it can be decreased but cannot be increased, So conclusion 1 is wrong.
And one more to be remember if statement consist +ve, +ve then conclusion must be +ve.
If statement consist +ve, -ve then conclusion must be -ve. If statement consist -ve, -ve then No conclusion.
