HI, everybody
some tips to crack a syllogisms problems.
We follow the certain rules of syllogisms,
one can solve the venn diagrams and other solved by others method.
but shortcut is very simple.
Example:
some dogs are cats.
all cats are horses.
we follow the rules of syllogisms
some+all= some
and we also cancle the cats, because it is common for both the statement.
condition: 1. all dogs are horses.
2. somes dogs are horses. (answer)
3. some horses are not dogs.
we can always see the condition then solve syllogisms problem
firstly we cancle the cats matching with two statement.
and according to rules we can check (some+all= some) for two sentence syllogisms.
and after we analise some dogs are horses to match the condition.
it the answer.

E-->E
and as well as in ur 1st example those lines meaning i.e."then conclusion will comes as some actors are dancers or some dancers are actor or some singers are actors or
some dancers are the singers"
eg:1.Some actors are singers.
2.All the singers are dancers
as per the rule E+A=E

some dancers are the singers
eg:1.All books are trees.
2.All trees are lions.
as per the rule A+A=A ,A-->E
then conlusion is All books are lions or some lions are books or some trees are books or some lions are trees
