Analytical reasoning question types
Analogy In analogy based questions a particular relation is being expressed between given words. Analogy based tests generally assess a candidate’s overall knowledge, power of reasoning and ability to think concisely and accurately. This section can help you earn higher marks but for that you should learn relationships which can be- Instruments & Measurements Seismograph: Earthquake Individual & Groups Man: Crowd Study & Topics Ethnology: Human Races Worker & Tool Blacksmith: Anvil Also there exist many such relationships. You can refer a good book and learn these from there. Odd one out In these kind of questions, a set of words, names, numbers or jumbled alphabets are given and the candidates are asked to point out the one which is not a part of the set. Some examples of variety of questions which come under this section, are as follows: Type 1: 22, 33, 66, 99, 121, 279, 594 Solution: Each of the number except 279 is a multiple of 11. Therefore 279 is odd one. Type 2: Endemic, Epidemic, Niche, Rife. 4 Solution: All the other words refer to something which is widespread, except Niche which means-a position particularly well suited & hence this is contrary. Type 3 : Which of the following four sets of letters is unlike the other three? DCKL, MNST, NMYZ, QPST (a) DCKL (b) MNST (c) NMYZ (d) QPST Solution : In MNST, the letters are in alphabetical order. In the other three, the order of the letters will be alphabetical only when the first two are interchanged. Question in this section are comparatively easier than other ones. You need to attempt questions carefully to get all attempts correct. Relationships In these tests success of a candidate depends upon the knowledge of the blood relations, some of which are summarized below to help solve these tests. Mother’s or father’s son -----------Brother Mother or father’s daughter -------Sister Mother or father’s brother ---------Uncle Mother or father’s sister -----------Aunt Mother or father’s father ----------Grandfather Mother or father’s mother ---------Grandmother Son’s wife ---------------------------Daughter-in-Law Daughter’s husband -----------------Son-in-Law Husband or wife’s sister-------------Sister-in-Law Husband or wife’s brother -----------Brother-in-Law Brother’s son --------------------------Nephew Brother’s daughter ---------------------Niece Uncle or aunt’s son or daughter ---------Cousin Sister’s Husband -----------------------Brother-in-Law Brother’s wife ------------------------Sister-in-Law Grandson’s or Granddaughter’s daughter--------------------------------Great grand daughter Typically the questions in this segment are like : Pointing out a group photograph, R says, “To the right of the man wearing the blue suit is my mother’s father’s son.” How is he related to R? (a) Uncle (b) Nephew (c) Niece (d) Son Answer: He is R’s mother’s brother, that is, uncle The questions in this section may be craftily worded but may not be too difficult. Hence students should try and score perfectly in these kinds of questions. Series In these kinds of questions, a series of words , alphabets or a combination is given. And then question is asked on the possible next term in the series. Despite the fact that it is extremely difficult to lay down all possible combinations of series, still if you follow few steps, you may solve a series question easily & quickly. Step 1: Do a preliminary screening of the series. If it is a simple series, you will be able to solve this easily. 6 Step 2: If you fail in preliminary screening then determine the trend of the series. Determine whether this is increasing or decreasing or alternating. Step 3: (A) Perform this step only if a series is increasing or decreasing Use following rules: I. If rise is slow or gradual, this type of series is likely to have an additional based increase. Successive numbers have been found by adding some numbers II. If rise is very sharp initially but slows down later on, the series is likely to be formed by adding squared or cubed numbers III. If the rise of a series is throughout equally sharp, the series is likely to be multiplication based IV. If the rise is irregular and haphazard, there may be two possibilities. Either there may be a mix of two series or two different kinds of operations may be going on alternately. (The first is very likely when the increase is very irregular: the second is more likely when there is a pattern, even in the irregularity of the series.) Step 3: (B) to be performed when series is alternating If the rise is irregular and haphazard, there may be two possibilities. Either there may be a mix of two series or two different kinds of operations may be going on alternately. (The first is very likely when the increase is very irregular: the second is more likely when there is a pattern, even in the irregularity of the series.) What is the next number in the series below : 14, 49, 916, 1625, ……. Options: (a) 2027 (b) 2438 (c) 2578 (d) 2536 Answer: The nautral numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ……. Their squares are 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, ….. Each term in the given series has been formed by pairing the squares of the natural numbers 1 and 4, 4 and 9, 9 and 16, 16 and 25, … Therefore the next term = 2536. Some series questions can be really tricky and hence a lot of practice has to go into it achieve perfection in these category of questions. Coding Decoding In these kinds of questions, certain words, symbols and set of numbers are represented as some other words , symbols , set of numbers or a combination of these. And then a question is asked for a similar set. These questions are also simpler and easy. You need to recognize the pattern present in given series. You can master this section by putting little efforts & practicing few questions on your own. In a certain code language ‘SUPERMAN’ is coded as ‘USEPMRNA ’. Then in that code ‘MANAGING ’ is codes as: a) AMNAIGGN b) AMANIGGN c) AMANIGNG d) AMAINGGN Solution : Every two letters of the word are being interchanged in order. Data Sufficiency This is also one interesting section of reasoning paper. Mastering this section is not very difficult but meanwhile may not be a cake walk too. Example 1. In which year was Rahul born ? Statements: Rahul at present is 25 years younger to his mother. Rahul's brother, who was born in 1964, is 35 years younger to his mother. a. I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient b. II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient c. Either I or II is sufficient d. Neither I nor II is sufficient e. Both I and II are sufficient Solution: Take statement one & try solving but alone statement 1 will not be sufficient. However statement 2 is also not sufficient alone, but taking both of the statement together question can be solved. Hence answer is e. Example 2. What will be the total weight of 10 poles, each of the same weight ? Statements: One-fourth of the weight of each pole is 5 kg. The total weight of three poles is 20 kilograms more than the total weight of two poles. a. I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient b. II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient c. Either I or II is sufficient d. Neither I nor II is sufficient e. Both I and II are sufficient Solution: From statement 1. W/4 = 5 therefore W=20 Kg. So total weight = 200 Kg. From statement 2. 3W= 20+ 2W, W=20. So total weight is 200 Kg. 8 Therefore c is the correct answer. To understand various patterns you should practice well & try solving different type of questions. Statement & Conclusions This section can be really difficult and actually helps exercising your brain cells. Apart from checking your problem solving skills this also checks your ability of choosing the correct questions to answer, because there will be some questions placed deliberately to trap you & will absorb your time. To believe it or not but there no direct shortcuts or tricks to solve these questions but you can actually train your brain by practicing hard because that will help you learn various patterns. Anyways don’t worry that much, let’s learns few patterns & understand how this section can also be conquered. Generally the questions in this section are of the following type Type 1: Statement: In a cricket match, the total runs made by the team were 200. Out of these 160 runs were made by spinners. Conclusions: 1. 80% of the team consists of spinners. 2. The opening batsmen were spinners. a. Only conclusion I follows b. Only conclusion II follows c. Either I or II follows d. Neither I nor II follows e. Both I and II follow Solution: Now if we calculate (160/200) *100= 80%. Which simplifies the statement into “80% runs were made by spinners” but that doesn’t conclude that “80% of the team consists of spinners”. Conclusion 1 is simply to confuse your choice. However Conclusion 2 can be easily removed as given statement doesn’t talk anything about opening batsman. Type 2: Choose the conclusion which logically follows given statement 9 S tatement: Soldiers serve their country. a. Men generally serve their country. b. Those who serve their country are soldiers. c. Some men who are soldiers serve their country. d. Women do not serve their country because they are not soldiers. Solution: Conclusion a b & d can be easily removed as statement doesn’t conclude that only men serve their country or only soldiers can serve their country. However conclusion b is quite close but doesn’t include that others can also serve their country. Hence conclusion c logically follows the given statement because this simply leaves the space that women & others can also serve country. While attempting such type of questions you should be very clear about the statement & think of all possibilities. Sometimes questions are very simple & can be solved mathematically so look for such questions & attempt wisely. Visual Reasoning Questions in this section are comparatively easier. Generally there are 5-6 boxes with some geometric shapes & the last one is missing. You need to follow the pattern & can guess the missing one. Logical Reasoning For such questions, you can take the help of Venn Diagrams. On the basis of the given statements, you should draw all the possible diagrams, and then derive the solution from each of these diagrams separately. Finally, the answer common to the all the diagrams is taken. Example 1: Statement: All dogs are asses. All assess are bulls. Conclusions: 1. Some dogs are not bulls. 2. Some bulls are dogs. 10 3. All bulls are dogs. 4. All dogs are bulls. Solution: On the basis of both statements, the following one diagram is possible. From the diagram it is clear that (2) and (4) conclusions logically follow. Example 2: Statements: 1. Some dogs are asses. 2. Some asses are bulls. Conclusions: 1. Some asses are not dogs. 2. Some dogs are bulls. Solution: From these given statements the following diagrams are possible: 11 From the diagram neither (1) nor (2) conclusions follow. There are some logical rules also to solve these problems. 2 statements are given. The statements are known as premises. Premise consists of SUBJECT and PREDICATE. Premise starts with ALL NO SOME SOME NOT Derivation of answers: ----------------------------------------------------------- Affirmative Negative ----------------------------------------------------------- Universal All No Particular Some Some not Many Many not 12 ------------------------------------------------------------ Middle term: The word that occurs in both the premises is middle term. Rules for solving deductions (Syllogisms) 1. Every deduction should contain exactly three terms 2. The middle term (term present in both the premises) must be distributed at least once 3. If one of the premises is negative, the conclusion must be negative (will have word no or not) 4. If one of the premises is particular, the conclusion must be particular (will have word some, few, many etc.) 5. If both the premises are particular, no conclusion can be drawn from the given premises 6. If both the premises are negative, no conclusion can be drawn from the given premises 7. A term that is not distributed in the premises can’t be distributed in the conclusion Note: A term (set of elements) in a premises is said to be distributed, if all the elements of the set (term) need to be known to state the premise. Other reasoning questions can be generic kinds of questions, which need some basic reasoning capabilities. An example is as follows : Q 17. When Seema was asked how old she was, she said, ‘I will be x years old in the year x2. Guess how old I am.’ Which year was she born in? Options: (a) 2025 (b) 1980 (c) 1936 (d) 1974 Answer: The perfect square after 2007 is 2025 (452). For Seema to be 45 years old in 2025, she should have been born in 2025 – 45 = 1980. 13 Some books you can refer to 1. The PowerScore GMAT Critical Reasoning Bible by David M. Killoran About: You will be exposed to number of question patterns & sample questions along with solving tricks. 2. The Little Blue Reasoning Book by Brandon Royal About: You can read this book to enhance your thinking capability as this book narrates 50 Powerful Principles for Clear and Effective Thinking. 3. The Great Book of Mind Teasers & Mind Puzzlers by by George J. Summers About: A great book to develop logical deduction capability. It does not only provide you with solutions, but shows you step by step how to get there.
