Syllogism Questions for SSC, Bank & Railway Exams: 114 Free Practice Tests

Syllogism questions give two to four statements and ask which conclusions definitely follow. They appear in SSC reasoning and in every bank prelims reasoning section, often with "possibility" and "either-or" conclusions.

The safest method is a quick Venn diagram for each statement, drawn in the least-overlapping way the statement allows, then testing every conclusion against all valid diagrams.

Syllogism: Rules to remember

  • "All A are B" gives "Some A are B" and "Some B are A" as definite conclusions, but not "All B are A".
  • "Some A are B" converts to "Some B are A". "Some A are not B" has no conversion.
  • "No A is B" converts to "No B is A" and also gives "Some A are not B".
  • Two particular statements ("Some… Some…") give no definite conclusion between the end terms.
  • A possibility conclusion follows if at least one valid diagram shows it and no statement forbids it.
  • Either-or: two conclusions on the same two terms that are complementary (e.g. "Some A are B" / "No A is B"), where neither follows definitely; then "either I or II" follows.

Venn diagram or rules: which is faster for syllogism?

Rules are faster for definite conclusions; diagrams are safer for possibility and "only a few" questions. Most toppers use rules first and draw a diagram only when a possibility conclusion appears.

What does "Only a few A are B" mean?

It means "Some A are B" and "Some A are not B" together, so "All A are B" cannot be true.
