Types OF Shortcuts in Syllogism - Statements and Logical Conclusions Rules

Venn Diagram

Distribution of terms

in most of the cases and observations, Venn Diagram is one of the easiest method. so we will continue to discuss on Venn Diagram.

Examples of Venn Diagram.

Now we can Understand Some Snakes are ButterFly

All MUG are TIN

No PIG is DOG
