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.

Does the logical deduction step of conversion and implification is also applied here along with the venn diagram to get the conclusion?

@Rashmi

All actors are not concluded in any diagram, it shows some actors are dancers.

Why all the actors are concluded as dancers? in one of venn diagram.

I would like to say that , if a=b, b=c, then a=c , but is it true for c=a .

Tell me the solving of syllogism problems in another way,rather than Venn diagram approach.

Here it is given that some actors are singers and every singer is a dancer so actors are all dancers.

Its just like a=b,b=c then a=c.

When to converse a sentence?

First know All=A, NO=E, SOME=I, O=SOME NOT, O* = O revers.

Let A+A=A.
A+E=E.
E+A=O*.
E+I=O*.
I+A=I.
I+E=O.
A+I=NC(no conclusion).
A+O=NC.
I+I=NC.

FOLLOW THIS METHOD A LITTLE BIT EASY TO SOLVE.

All I can say is done use venn diagram method because its just results in frustration am I right? so here we go, use UP/UN method to solve syllogism. Its difficult to understand but if you get the perfect idea you can solve syllogism easily.. Shocking? but trust me guys it needs hours of practice to master in that but when you got that trick you can solve syllogism in your mind no need of pen pencil paper etc etc. So guys what for you still waiting just google it (UP-UN method) thats it my friends.
