Correct answer: A
Correct Answer: A Here, P = Predicate S = Subject M = Middle Term In this question, Position of Middle term is given in P1 and P2 in each Syllogism and on the basis of that you have to find out the figure of the syllogism. For Example - in Option no (I) M-P, S-M→S-P It means, Premise 1 = M - P (Middle Term in subject position) Premise 2 = S - M (Middle Term in predicate position) Hence, 1st Figure (Subject-Predicate Pattern) Similarly, Premise 1 = P - M (Middle Term in predicate position) Premise 2 = S - M (Middle Term in predicate position) Hence, 2nd Figure (Predicate-Predicate Pattern) Premise 1 = M - P (Middle Term in subject position) Premise 2 = M - S (Middle Term in subject position) Hence, 3rd Figure (Subject-Subject Pattern) Premise 1 = P - M (Middle Term in predicate position) Premise 2 = M - S (Middle Term in subject position) Hence, 4th Figure (Predicate-Subject Pattern)
