Syllogism Quiz | Reasoning MCQ Practice for IBPS AFO 2026

1

Statements: Only a few Cars are Cycles. Only Bikes are Motors. Some Bikes are Cycles. Conclusions: I. Some Bikes are Cars. II. All Cars being Cycles is a possibility. III. Some Motors being Cycles is a possibility.

Solution & Explanation 'Only a few Cars are Cycles' means some Cars are Cycles and some Cars are not Cycles. Therefore, Conclusion II ('All Cars being Cycles is a possibility') does not follow because 'only a few' guarantees that some Cars are not Cycles. There is no definite relation between Bikes and Cars. Hence, Conclusion I ('Some Bikes are Cars') does not follow. 'Only Bikes are Motors' means all Motors are Bikes. Since some Bikes are Cycles, it is possible that those Bikes may also be Motors. Therefore, Conclusion III ('Some Motors being Cycles is a possibility') follows. Hence, only Conclusion III follows.

Statements: All Polymer are Woolen. All Woolen are Cotton. Some Leather are Polymer. Conclusions: I. No Cotton is Polymer. II. Some Leather being Woolen is a possibility.

Solution & Explanation Since all Polymer are Woolen and all Woolen are Cotton, all Polymer are definitely Cotton. Therefore, Conclusion I ('No Cotton is Polymer') does not follow. Also, some Leather are Polymer and all Polymer are Woolen. Hence, some Leather are definitely Woolen. Therefore, Conclusion II ('Some Leather being Woolen is a possibility') follows, as a definite truth also satisfies possibility. Hence, only Conclusion II follows.

3

Statements: Only a few Ram are Shyam. Only a few Ankit are Shyam. Some Ram are Virat. Conclusions: I. All Ankit being Shyam is a possibility. II. All Virat being Ram is a possibility.

If both conclusions I and II follow.

If only conclusion I follows.

If either conclusion I or II follows.

If neither conclusion I nor II follows.

If only conclusion II follows.

Solution & Explanation 'Only a few Ankit are Shyam' means some Ankit are Shyam and some Ankit are not Shyam. Therefore, Conclusion I ('All Ankit being Shyam is a possibility') does not follow. From 'Some Ram are Virat', it is possible that all Virat are Ram. Therefore, Conclusion II ('All Virat being Ram is a possibility') follows. Hence, only Conclusion II follows.

Passage

Which of the following conclusions follow the statements?

4

Statements: Some Hero are Film. Some Film are Star. All Star are Actor. Conclusions: I. Some Actor are Film. II. Some Hero are not Star.

If only conclusion I follows.

If only conclusion II follows.

If both conclusions I and II follow.

If either conclusion I or II follows.

If neither conclusion I nor II follows.

Solution & Explanation Conclusion I, 'Some Actor are Film,' is true because some Film are Star and all Star are Actor, establishing a definite overlap between Film and Actor. Conclusion II, 'Some Hero are not Star,' does not logically follow as there is no definite negative relationship established between Hero and Star; it remains a possibility but not a certainty. Therefore, only conclusion I follows.

Passage

Directions: In each of the following questions, some statements are given followed by two conclusions. You have to consider the statements to be true even if they seem to vary from commonly known facts and decide which of the conclusions logically follows from the statements.
(a) Only conclusion I follows
(b) Only conclusion II follows
(c) Both conclusions I and II follow
(d) Either conclusion I or II follows
(e) Neither conclusion I nor II follows

5

Statements: Some bottles are caps. All caps are plastic. No plastic is glass. Conclusions: I. Some bottles are plastic. II. No bottle is glass.

Both conclusions I and II follow

Neither conclusion I nor II follows

Only conclusion I follows

Only conclusion II follows

Either conclusion I or II follows

Solution & Explanation Since some bottles are caps and all caps are plastic, some bottles are definitely plastic. However, only the bottle-cap overlap is confirmed to be plastic; the remaining bottles have no established relation with glass, so it cannot be said that no bottle is glass. Hence, only conclusion I follows.
