Question

topic:syllogism , conditions are:                                                                                                                                                                       Some Blue are Pink
All Pink are Orange
No Orange is White
Only Grey are White
and conclusion is: No White is Orange   (which is converse of "no orange is white") so it should be false ,as per rules of syllogism! but it is true. can anyone tell me why?

Sithick Mohammed · Answer

in syllogisms not only conclusions are part of the answer but also conversions and complementary pairs
from the statements,third statement Universal negative can be converted back only to Universal negative. which is correct

Meghanshu Joshi · Answer

when it is given that no white is orange then it implies that there is nothing in common between both & hence no orange is white.
if conclusion said some orange are white or some white are orange then they would be defenately false
