| Basics and Rules of Syllogism |
The problems based on syllogism are on two parts:
2. Conclusion/ Conclusions drawn from given proposition
WHAT IS A PROPOSITION?
a statement or assertion that expresses a judgement or opinion.
A proposition is a sentence that makes a statement giving a relation between two terms.
1. Subject
2. Predicate
TYPES OF PROPOSITIONS:
1. CATEGORICAL PROPOSITION
The sentences which are condition free are called as categorical propositions. For example,
“All cats are rats”
“No cat is rat”
“Some cats are rats”
“Some cats are not rats”
In other words a categorical proposition has no condition attached with it and makes direct assertion.

2. NON-CATEGORICAL PROPOSITION

“If M then P”
