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.

A - S, SS - D conclusion A - D follows from Raval's notation second conclusion SS /AA is straightaway ruled out by Raval's notation. Raval's notation is new simplest and quickest way to solve syllogism problems at a glance. Search 'raval notations at philpapers' in google and find complete new and simple approach published at University of London.

I want to know these 2 crucial facts about syllogism: First, we all know that 'No and Some'/'Some and some not' form an either case or a complimentary pair, but does 'All and No' form a complimentary pair...Second, what is the difference in approach of these two statements:
1.All stones are glass.
2.All stones being glass is a possibility.
1.All stones are glass.
2.All stones being glass is a possibility.

@All.
Always solve from the conclusion. If both the statement have a common and all is attached with that common word. Then conclusion true. Ex here common is a singer. And singer Se pehele all he. So directly some actors are dancers. Next, for conclusion 2 we can't draw -ve conclusion from positive statements. So false.

There is farmula if some + all = some
statement is 1- Some actors are singers.
2- All the singers are dancers.
Than as per rule some will come and singers is comman for both sentences hence that would be cancelled and conlusion will come as ---- some actors are dancers.

In second diagram its shown all actors are dancer.
In first some actor are dancer.
If both possibility are true then only conclusion occurs.
So neither 1 nor 2 should be the answer.
Why conclusion I is selected?

Here, 2nd diagram is wrong one and instead of that, the three circles become intersect and the inside circle mentioned singers next circle mentioned dancers and outside circle mentioned actors, this should be right.

There should be common term present between two conclusions in case if conclusion contains NO.
Then the only answer will be either or option.
Eg- all men's are a duck.
NO men are duck.
If I'm wrong correct me.
