hey friends !!!!
as we all know syllogisms ans defintion based Qs are no longer a part of CAT.... atleast for the last 3-4 yrs... so does one really needs to prepare for such Qs ? as most of u know they also featured in simcat -3 and IMS also kept a couple of workshops for it during the last few weeks for its classroom students....

plz post ur views
bye tc

I am (personally) in favor of Syllogisms

The only section in which my accuracy is above 90%

Whether they are part of CAT

Nice question... Well... God Knows

<#include cliche.h> whether you'll get questions from that part or not.

Definition based questions are asked on a large scale in the MAH STATE CET .. in case u gonna give that ... might as weel prepare .. also they are one of the easiest questions in verbal ..

So be prepared for them .. !!!

Also, pearl, syllogisms are like ..

If i dont take the umbrella, it rains ..

then you will be asked to pick choices which have same meaning ..

ex: It doesnt rain .. I have taken my umbrella.

something like that .. based on the LOGIC principal HSC students (maharashtra) have in MATHS.

Thanx a lot.

Cya.

They used to until a couple of years ago ...

last year at IMS they told us that .. syllogisms would slowly not be appearing .. a few of their SIMCATS also did not haev them last year.

I really wish such questions appear as they can be solved easily in short time with high accuracy.
