Tricks to solve reasoning question?

Here is the best way to solve logical reasoning problems.

This topic covers the topic of reasoning. The content covers the theory part in detail
describing all the techniques, shortcuts, logical reasoning tricks for bank exams. This the
most important part of all competitive exams. Because all the organization wants to check
the thinking pattern of its future employees.

All candidates are expected to have a broad mind having an ability to think deeply and
logically. Here are some logical reasoning strategies to solve the question of different types.

In alphabetical or miscellaneous series first is to check left end and right end, you can break
series in five – five pairs, all the condition are based on left and right end situations.
Number all the alphabetical in question and find out the order.

In coding-decoding, there are three types of coding, letter, number, substitution coding.
Candidates have to find out the logic that codes a particular message to read the message.
In this first take the given pair, write all positions, find out relationships between the letter
of both the pair. The relation may be forward or backward.

In blood relation, there can be many types but we have to relate all the given relation one
by one. A method is known a family tree is used to solve, it is a flow chart method to
represent all the family relations. Relation of a mother are maternal, whereas of a father are
paternal, and spouse side relation is “in – law”.

In direction and distances, you need to identify all the directions, four directions are
important, east northwest and south and four are additional directions east-north,
southeast, southwest, northwest. You need to follow the direction as says question only.
In order and ranking, find the total number of persons, positions from another side, the
number of persons in between, the minimum and maximum number in a row, the number
of people either side of a particular person.

Sitting arrangement involves the question of the person sitting, facing center or facing
outside of the center. The sitting arrangement can be in a circular form, rectangular form,
square form, or row or column. There will be simple English sentences you have to identify
placing and direction.

Puzzles are problems intentionally designed to stimulate the brain into devising solution.
The candidate is to analyze the given information, convert it into a suitable form and answer
the question asked. Types of the puzzle are classification, comparison, sequential, selection,
family, jumbled puzzle.

Data sufficiency, in this we do not have to find the answers rather we have to analyze the
given data and decide whether the given data is sufficient to find an answer or not.

The statement, There are three types of questions two statement type, three statement
type, and redundant type. You will be given a question there are different conditions and
after analyzing you just have to find whether the statement is true.

In the syllogism, a question can have lots of diagrams which mean we can draw several
figures by a statement but we have to draw the easiest figure first because it will enable us
to solve the question in minimum time. We have four types of question in which:

All a are b.
Some a are b.
No a are b.
Some a are not b.

You will be given statements, from which you need to draw diagrams with the easiest one.
In answers, you will give conclusions if your conclusions are satisfying your statements then
choose the right answer.
