Syllogism Tricks (Topper Level) – Bank Exams
Fast Solving • Concept Clarity • Accuracy Improvement
1. Basic Concept
Syllogism is a logical reasoning topic based on relationships between groups.
- All A are B → Complete relation
- Some A are B → Partial relation
- No A is B → No relation
Think in terms of sets (circles), not sentences.
2. Shortcut Method (Chain Logic)
Instead of drawing diagrams every time, follow this logic:
A → B → C
Then: A → C is valid
This saves time and increases speed in exams.
3. Example
Statements:
All A are B
All B are C
Conclusions:
I. All A are C ✔
II. Some C are A ✔
Both conclusions follow using chain logic.
4. Common Mistakes
- Assuming “Some” means “All”
- Ignoring negative statements
- Forgetting direction of logic
5. Topper Tip
Use logic first. Draw diagrams only if necessary. Most questions can be solved mentally.
6. Quick Practice
Statements:
All A are B
Some B are C
Conclusions:
I. Some A are C
II. All A are C
Answer: Cannot be determined
