There are 4 Either or cases in modern syllogism

1) Some & No
Some A are B.
No A are B.
(element positions may change)


2) All, Some not
All A are B.
Some A are not B.
(Variables should be in same position)


Some, Some not
Before 2018 this was a complimentary pair and IBPS had marked either or as the answer at that time, but it has a valid reason for not making either or.
So, since 2018 in real exam no question came in which both these conclusions were individually false.



3) All, only few
All A are B.
Only few are B.
(Variables should be in same position)

Example

Statements:
Some A are B.
All B are C.

Conclusions:
a) All A are C.
b) Only few A are C.

Answer: EITHER a OR b FOLLOWS


Note: We need a definite "SOME" relation among variables. Suppose we do not get definite relation of SOME then ALL, ONLY FEW will never make either or.

Example

Statements:
Some A are B.
Some B are C.

Conclusions:
a) All C are A.
b) Only few C are A.

Answer: NEITHER a NOR b FOLLOWS



4) No, only few
No A are B.
Only few are B.
(Variables should be in same position)

Example

Statements:
Some A are B.
No B are C.

Conclusions:
a) No A are C.
b) Only few A are C.

Answer: EITHER a OR b FOLLOWS


Note: We need a definite "SOME NOT" relation among variables. Suppose we do not get definite relation of SOME NOT then NO, ONLY FEW will never make either or.

Example

Statements:
Some A are B.
NO B are C.

Conclusions:
a) NO C are A.
b) Only few C are A.

Answer: NEITHER a NOR b FOLLOWS
