Discussion Forum : Syllogism - Syllogism 1 (Q.No. 7)
Directions to Solve
In each of the following questions two statements are given and these statements are followed by two conclusions numbered (1) and (2). You have to take the given two statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. Read the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the two given statements, disregarding commonly known facts.
Give answer:
- (A) If only (1) conclusion follows
- (B) If only (2) conclusion follows
- (C) If either (1) or (2) follows
- (D) If neither (1) nor (2) follows and
- (E) If both (1) and (2) follow.

According to me, Option E is correct. Because we can not draw a possible diagram for this question, except we can draw a basic diagram.
When we try to draw the possible diagram here we can not put or accommodate Wall with Window or Door because in a statement it is clearly given that "No Wall is a Door" i.e. we can not put wall with door and window.
So, we have to solve the question only based on the Basic Diagram. In a basic diagram, both options will come wrong. Therefore according to my result, Option E is correct.

1. Draw the all possible venn diagram based on the given statements.
2. Now take the conclusion 1 and check with all diagrams. If it satisfies with all diagram we can say that conclusion 1 follows.
3. Now take the conclusion 2 and check with all diagrams. If it satisfies with all diagram we can say that conclusion 2 follows.
4. Based on the above 2 steps's results, choose the answer.
Hope this may help you. Have a nice day!

Here, when you combine two statements you have to check if the statement is + or -. Statement 1 is + and Statement 2 is -.
When you combine a + statement with a - statement, the conclusion should be -.
So even if income expense is satisfied since conclusion 1 itself is +, we can't consider it as an actual conclusion.
Hence, Option B is the right answer.

@All.
How the answer could be option B?
According to the rules of syllogism, if there is a universal negative statement the conclusion should consist of negative argument and we can't use the middle term in the conclusion thus the correct answer should be option D.

Actually, the conclusion is NO WALL IS A WINDOW, But from statement 1 ALL WINDOWS ARE DOORS.
So we can conclude it as NO WALL IS A DOOR.
Don't quickly jump into conclusion after solving consider the options given below and then choose wisely.

By Raval Notations:
Statements:
All the windows are doors. (Wi Wi - D).
No door is a wall. (DD / Wa Wa).
Conclusions:
Some windows are walls. (Wi - Wa).
No wall is a door. (Wa Wa / DD) the converse of statement 2.

2nd conclusion is correct because all window is door & no door is wall so positive relation between wall & window is not possible. Only negative relation can be established.

Well according to the venn diagram; B is the correct statement. But according to income-expenditure E is correct.
Anyone, please explain with the correct explanation in detail.

Here, the Venn diagram clearly says that the window has no connection with the wall then how can option E be correct?
I think Option B is the correct answer.
