Summary Formula Tricks Mistakes Solved Example Practice FAQ

Syllogism revision for SSC MTS: understand the relation, apply the correct logical method, avoid assumptions and practise under time.

Syllogism evaluates conclusions from categorical statements such as All, Some and No. Venn diagrams are a reliable way to represent the minimum information given.

SSC MTS focus: Identify the relation or positional rule first, then solve with the shortest valid reasoning path and verify the final option.

Syllogism revision: rule → diagram/relation → option check → timed practice → error review.

Core relation
Fast method
Common trap
Approved practice

All A are B: A lies inside B
No A is B: A and B do not overlap
Some A are B: A and B overlap at least partly

Draw only the minimum relation forced by the statements. Do not assume extra overlap or existence.

Step 1 Identify relation

Spot the pattern, relationship, or core idea first.

Step 2 Apply same pattern

Use the same rule instead of re-solving from scratch.

Step 3 Eliminate wrong options

Now apply the trick on real questions

Use the shortcut above before solving these questions

Convert statements into set relations and test conclusions without assuming existence beyond the premises.

Tip: Use simple Venn diagrams for All, No, and Some statements.

Step 1

Cats are inside the class Animals.

Step 2

Animals are inside Living Beings, so Cats are also inside Living Beings.

Rule

If A is wholly inside B and B wholly inside C, then A is wholly inside C.

3-second trick

Draw nested circles for chained 'All' statements.

Trap to avoid

Do not reverse an 'All A are B' statement into 'All B are A'.

Correct answer

All cats are living beings

Thinking path

Cats are a subset of animals.
Animals are a subset of living beings.
Subset chaining gives the conclusion.

Final answer: All cats are living beings

Why this is fast: Set nesting makes transitive relations visible immediately.
