Verbal Reasoning - Syllogism - Discussion

Remember 1 thing in Question.

If conclusion includes a word 'may' then you have to consider other than 1st diagram.

"may" shows possibility and 2nd, 3rd and 4th diagram is drawn by the only possibility.

As per the statement, only 1st diagram is correct and others are "may" possible diagram.

Now,
If conclusion as this.

1 All cars may fans.
2 Some fans are cars.

Then first conclusion saying possibility because it includes a possibility word "may" therefore we can now consider anyone of the possible diagram. If any diagram is satisfying the conclusion, then the conclusion will be correct.

In this case, our answer is C.

Because only 1st conclusion saying to consider possibility diagram (2nd, 3rd, 4th).
But 2nd conclusion says exact as per statement.
So for 1st conclusion, we consider anyone of the possible diagram.
But for 2nd conclusion, we have to consider only and only 1st diagram.
Therefore if we consider conclusion 1 is correct then 2nd will be wrong and vice versa.

My answer is D. Because either or 3 conditions is not satisfied here i.e one conclusion must be +be and another must be _ve meaning no, not.2nd one is both conclusions must be false, 3rd one the word must be same then it satisfies either or otherwise neither nor do 2nd conditions is not satisfied here so and is D.

'Either or' is used in sentences in a positive sense meaning "one or the other, this or that, he or she, etc."

'Neither nor' is used in sentences in a negative sense meaning "not this one nor the other, not this nor that, not he nor she, etc."

Apply this I hope you will get some clarity.

Sillogism plobm is very confusion because manly two or more answer are correct so that situation we can draw many diagram and see them whose diffenrent then that is the right answer.

Resoning is very confusioning so problem is very common.

Only practise is that solution. So keep it up.

The correct answer is D only. In the question, they said all cars are cats. And all fans are cats. We have to draw the first circle as car and second circle as fans and last circle is cats. According to conclusions option D is absolutely correct.

For possibilities are there. Statement should satify all the four. As per third diagram First statement follows but not for all the diagrams. As per third diagram second statement follows but not for all thats why the answer choice is D.

The 2nd sentence is All fans are cats. If you reverse it will be 'some cats are fans'.

Now we get.

All cars are cats. Some cats are fans.
According to the rules all + some make no conclusion.
So the answer is D.

If you see in this case, There are two possibilities are there it may be full or it may be part. So that's why the answer is 'D'.

In many cases I came across this kind of problems, I found 'D' has the solution.

@Amit, if there is 'No' appear in conclusion you have to draw all the possibilities. And if not there is no need to draw more than 1 diagram. 1 diagram is sufficient To come to the answer.

In 3/4 cases B is correct, just because it is in one case incorrect. It doesn't make D correct. It just makes the question flawed. But even if the question is badly built, my answer is B.
