SSC CGL Syllogism Reasoning Practice
What this topic tests
Syllogism tests your deductive reasoning by asking you to derive conclusions from a given set of statements, regardless of known facts.
How to Approach This Topic
Always use Venn Diagrams. Represent 'All' as a circle inside another, 'Some' as overlapping circles, and 'No' as disjoint circles. A conclusion is only true if it must be true in every possible valid diagram.
Common Question Patterns
Statements involving All, Some, No, and Some Not. Advanced patterns include Possibility cases.
Common Mistakes
Assuming 'Some A are B' implies 'Some A are not B' (it does not), or treating a possible conclusion as a definite conclusion.
