Can someone please help with this type of syllogism???

only doors are roofs
only roofs are songs
some songs are abnormal
some abnormal are clear

conclusion:
some abnormal are door
some songs being door is a possibility
some clear are roof

Can i interpret "only" as "All"

And one more doubt... If "All A are B "... can i conclude it as "Most B are A" :( :x

No you cannot assume "ONLY" as "ALL"

Thanks for your reply. I don't use venn diag methods. Could you please explain in another method or provide some study material for solving syllogisms using venn. Please comment on which conclusion follows ... :cry:

Sanga11, I am afraid.. I don't have any such material; you may search on Internet. Also, it's sometimes easy to solve such questions by drawing diagrams(Venn/Tabular/etc).
