Syllogism holds importance in NABARD Grade A as you can fetch 4 to 6 marks. Therefore, focus on improving your conceptual knowledge and practice questions properly.
1. Basic Syllogism: The statements are 100% true and the conclusion must be 100% true in this type of syllogism question.
Statement: All Ball is Oval. Some Oval is Circle.
Conclusion: Some Ball is Circle.
The above conclusion is definitely false as we cannot derive any relationship between Ball and Circle from the above statement.
2. Complimentary pairs (Either – Or Case): In this type of syllogism question, the statements are 100% true and two conclusions together can be partially true. Check out the three cases when ‘Either-Or’ follows:
a. Some + Some not
b. Some + No
c. All + Some not
Statement: All Ball is Oval. Some Oval is Circle.
Conclusion: 1. Some Ball is Circle – False (As there is no relation between Ball and Circle)
2. No Ball is Circle – False (This shows there is no relation between Ball and Circle)
But if we consider both conclusions together then, either conclusion 1 or conclusion 2 is true as this is a complimentary pair. These conclusions are connected with each other. C
3. Only – Only a few: This is the conditional-based syllogism. One of the most important concepts to be covered in syllogism as the questions based on ‘only – only a few’ are really confusing. If a statement says ‘only a few C is D’, then only a certain part of C is D and the remaining part is not B.
4. Possibility-based Syllogism: In such of syllogism, the conclusion is based on possibilities e.g., if ‘All B is C’ and ‘No B is C’, then ‘Some C being D is a possibility’ is definitely true. In such type of syllogism, the keywords used such as ‘can be’ or ‘possibility’
5. Coded Syllogism: In this syllogism usually in which a comparison between two elements is usually defined by code number and symbol. For example: In, C&D, ‘&’ represents ‘some’, so we can interpret ‘Some C is D’.
6. Reverse Syllogism: This type of syllogism comes in the exam in which few conclusions will be given. Therefore, you have to follow the conclusion to get the correct statement
