General Reasoning and Mental Ability flashcards for Agniveer (Agnipath Scheme)
19 of 54 cards from the General Reasoning and Mental Ability deck — real questions with worked answers.
In analogy reasoning, what is the core skill being tested?
Identifying the relationship between the first pair of terms and applying the exact same relationship to complete the second pair (A : B :: C : ?).
Solve the analogy: Doctor : Hospital :: Teacher : ?
School. The relationship is 'professional : their place of work'.
Solve the number analogy: 4 : 16 :: 7 : ?
49. The relationship is 'number : its square' (4²=16, 7²=49).
What is the goal in a 'Classification / Odd one out' question?
To find the one item that does NOT share the common property or relationship that the other items have in common.
Find the odd one out: Rose, Lotus, Marigold, Mango.
Mango. The others are flowers; mango is a fruit.
Find the odd one out: 3, 5, 7, 9, 11.
9. The others are prime numbers; 9 is composite (3×3).
What is a 'Series completion' question, and what are the two main types?
It asks you to find the missing/next term in a sequence. The two main types are number series and alphabet (letter) series.
Find the next term: 2, 6, 12, 20, 30, ?
42. The differences increase by 2 each time (4, 6, 8, 10, 12); 30+12=42. (Pattern: n²+n.)
Find the next term: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, ?
36. These are perfect squares (1², 2², 3², 4², 5², 6²).
Find the next term in the letter series: A, C, E, G, ?
I. Each letter advances by 2 positions (skip one letter).
In coding-decoding, what is 'letter-shifting' (Caesar-type) coding?
Each letter of a word is replaced by a letter a fixed number of positions ahead or behind in the alphabet (e.g., +1: CAT becomes DBU).
If CAT is coded as DBU, how is DOG coded?
EPH. Each letter is shifted forward by 1 (D→E, O→P, G→H).
What is the positional value (rank) of the letters used in coding-decoding, and a quick memory tool?
A=1 to Z=26. Memory tool EJOTY: E=5, J=10, O=15, T=20, Y=25, letting you quickly locate any letter's position.
In blood relations, who is your father's brother and your father's sister?
Father's brother = paternal uncle; father's sister = paternal aunt (bua).
In blood relations, who is your mother's brother and mother's sister?
Mother's brother = maternal uncle (mama); mother's sister = maternal aunt (mausi).
What does 'my father's only son' or 'my mother's only son' refer to (when the speaker is male)?
It refers to the speaker himself.
Define these relations: your son's wife, your daughter's husband, your spouse's brother.
Son's wife = daughter-in-law; daughter's husband = son-in-law; spouse's brother = brother-in-law.
In direction sense, what are the four cardinal and four ordinal directions?
Cardinal: North, South, East, West. Ordinal: North-East, North-West, South-East, South-West.
If you face North and turn right, then right again, which direction do you face?
South. North → (right) East → (right) South.
