Reasoning – Syllogism Basics (Concept, Rules & Tricks for Bank Exams)

Logical reasoning and thinking process

Syllogism is one of the most important topics in reasoning. It tests your logical thinking ability using statements and conclusions.


What is Syllogism?

Syllogism consists of two or more statements followed by conclusions. You need to find whether the conclusions logically follow or not.

Example:
All A are B
All B are C
Conclusion: All A are C (True)


Basic Types of Statements

  • All A are B
  • Some A are B
  • No A is B
  • Some A are not B

Important Rules

  • All + All → Definite conclusion
  • Some + Some → Not definite
  • No + Any → Negative conclusion
  • Some conclusions are only possibilities

Solving Method

  • Read statements carefully
  • Make a mental Venn diagram
  • Check each conclusion logically

Example Questions

Q1:
All A are B
Some B are C
Conclusion: Some A are C?

Answer: Cannot be determined

Q2:
All A are B
All B are C
Conclusion: All A are C?

Answer: True


Shortcut Tricks

  • Focus on keywords (All, Some, No)
  • Avoid assumptions
  • Practice patterns regularly

Practice Questions

Q1: All A are B, Some B are C → Some A are C?

Q2: No A is B, Some B are C → Some A are C?


Answers

Q1: Cannot be determined
Q2: Cannot be determined
