Syllogism — Flashcards

Syllogisms are a logical argument of statements using deductive reasoning to arrive at a conclusion.  The word syllogism comes from the Greek word “syllogismos” which means “conclusion, inference”. In syllogism reasoning problems, you have to find out which of  the given conclusions logically follow the given statements. You have to take the statements as true even if they are not based on commonly known facts. How to solve: The most effective and efficient method is to use a Venn diagram. Based on the given statements, you should draw all the possible diagrams and then solve each of these diagrams separately. Finally, the answer common to all the diagrams is taken as the correct one.
