You have study logic first. Can you solve mathematical problems without knowing formulas. There's no short cut.

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.

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.
