Systematically solve any syllogism problem within a minute without using Venn diagram. This method is called Aristotle's method and it is highly effective, just like solving two mathematical equation. But this method has a steep learning curve so practice a lot of questions with this method to ingrain it into your mind.
I have improvised the notation for a easy understanding of the method.
Note:
There are only four quantifiers. All, NO, SOME, and SOME .. ARE NOT. Those four are KNOWN as the STANDARD CATEGORICAL FORM QUANTIFIERS. Today many questions will purposely try to trick and deceive students by using other formats that are unfamiliar. Example:
1. Forms of SOME
:

2. FORMS OF ALL
