Syllogism
Only!
Statements:
Only Apple are books
few Apple are Cat

Conclusions: I is true
I. Some Cats are apple II is not true as only A can be books
II. Some Cats are books

A Only conclusion I follows


B Only conclusion II follows
C Both conclusions I and II follow
D Neither conclusion I nor II follows
E Either conclusion I or II follows
Statements:
Only tables are chairs.
Some tables are desks.

Conclusions:
I. All chairs are desks.
II. Some desks are tables.

A Only conclusion I follows


B Only conclusion II follows
C Both conclusions I and II follow
D Neither conclusion I nor II follows
E Either conclusion I or II follows
Checking C1: All chairs are desks.

Using S1 and S2, we get

'Only tables are chairs' or 'All chairs are tables' (A) + 'Some
tables are desks' (I) ⇒ No conclusion between chair and desks
because chairs can't be others.

Clearly, C1 doesn't follow.

Checing C2: Some desks are tables.

Converse of S2 (Some tables are desks) ⇒ Some desks are


tables.

Clearly, C2 follows.

Option B is hence the correct answer.


Statements:
Some paints are shoes.
Some shoes are sleepers.
Only Shirts are sleepers

Conclusions:
I. At least some shirts are paints.
II. No shirt is a paint.

A Only conclusion I follows


B Only conclusion II follows
C Both conclusions I and II follow
D Neither conclusion I nor II follows
E Either conclusion I or II follows
Statements:
Some paints are shoes.
Some shoes are sleepers.
Only Shirts are sleepers
(All sleepers are shirt)
Hence, either conclusion I or II follows.
Conclusions:
I. At least some shirts are paints.
II. No shirt is a paint.

A Only conclusion I follows


B Only conclusion II follows
C Both conclusions I and II follow
D Neither conclusion I nor II follows
E Either conclusion I or II follows
Statements:
Only few cows are camels.
Only buffaloes are camels
No buffalo is a fox.

Conclusions :
I. Some camels are foxes.
II. No buffalo is a cow.
III. No cow is a fox.

A Only conclusion I and II follows


B Only conclusion II and III follows
C All follows
D None of them follow
E None of these
Statements:
Only few cows are camels.
Only buffaloes are camels (All camels are buffaloes)
No buffalo is a fox.

Conclusions :
I. Some camels are foxes.
II. No buffalo is a cow. Correct Option: D None of them follow
III. No cow is a fox.

A Only conclusion I and II follows


B Only conclusion II and III follows
C All follows
D None of them follow
E None of these
Statements :
0% frocks are pants.
Only frocks are shorts.
Only a few jackets are pants.

Conclusions :
I. Not a single pant is short.
II. A good number of jackets are not frocks.

A Only conclusion I follows


B Only conclusion II follows
C Both conclusions I and II follow
D Neither conclusion I nor II follows
E Either conclusion I or II follows
Checking C1: Not a single pant is short.

Using S2 and S1,

All shorts are frocks + '0% frocks are pants' or 'No frocks are
pants' = No shorts are pants or No pants are shorts which is
same as 'Not a single pant is short'. Hence, C1 follows.

Checking C2: A good number of jackets are not frocks.

A few jackets are pants + Converse of S1 (which is 'No pants are


frocks) = 'A few jackets are not frocks' which is same as 'A good
number of jackets are not frocks'. Hence, C2 follows as well.

Clearly, option D is the correct answer.


Statements :
Only pants frocks.
100% shorts are frocks.
Only a few jackets are pants.

Conclusions :
I. All pants are shorts.
II. All shorts being jackets is a possibility.

A Only conclusion I follows


B Only conclusion II follows
C Both conclusions I and II follow
D Neither conclusion I nor II follows
E Either conclusion I or II follows
Checking C1: All pants are shorts.

Using S2 and S1, we get

'100% shorts are frocks' or 'All shorts are frocks' + 'All frocks are
pants' = All shorts are pants. Clearly, C1 doesn't follow.

Checking C2: All shorts being jackets is a possibility.

As there is no negative statement, possibility between 'shorts'


and 'jackets' does exist. C2, hence, follows.

Evidently, option B is the correct answer.
