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.

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.

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?
