Syllogism -

Tips and Tricks to solve syllogism – questions:

  1. Always represent the sentences diagrammatically with the use of Venn diagrams. This will help you be accurate and will save time once you are comfortable using this way to solve questions.
  2. Commonly known facts have to be disregarded. So, even if the premise says all blue is red, the conclusion must be derived from the given information.
  3. Do not assume any prior knowledge. The conclusion in a syllogism must be derived from the premises given, and not from any prior knowledge on the subject.
  4. The conclusion must give some new information based on the two premises, and not simply reiterate the given facts.

  5. One syllogism question can test the relationship among three elements only. This will help you in eliminating options and marking the right answers quickly.

  6. Use initials to represented by H and C respectively. If there are two elements eg. hat and hair and comb, these can be represented by H and C respectively. If there are two elements eg. 'hat' and 'hair' avoid using a single alphabet or represent both. Instead use the abbreviation 'ht' for hat and 'hr' for 'hair' to avoid confusion while drawing the diagrams.
