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.

@SUMAN
you repeated
B+A = Y.
B +B = no conclusion.
B+Z = Y.
B+Y= no conclusion.
B+A = Z.
B +B = Y.
B+Z = no conclusion.
B+Y= no conclusion.
Which combination is now correct?

Hi,
Can anyone explain it in short? Because I couldn't get the "some are not " model.
Statements:
All squares are circles.
All circles are units.
No circle is a meter.
Conclusions:
I. Some units which are not circles can be meters.
II. Some squares being meters is a possibility.
Anyone, please explain how to solve this using formula table.

Hello friends I have a short technique,
In here no need to draw diagram. If two statement is given then 1st look the mediator if it contain ALL, NO then close ur eyes and sure that it is distributiv if the mediator have no ALL, No then the conclusion has a -ve term.
Let eg
some actor are dancer
all dancer are singer
ANS; some actor are singer/some singer are actor
some actor are dancer
some dancer are singer
ANS; some singer are not dancer

Hello All,
This is only for those who are very poor to understand syllogism. I assure you can understand very well through my given examples.
Here already discussed that.
*. ALL+ALL = ALL.
Means Suppose All Pens are chair & ALL chairs are tables.
It means that both the statements have all in First.
So, this can be written as All pens are tables.
Hope you understand well.
