Logical Reasoning flashcards for ETEA Medical Test

19 of 51 cards from the Logical Reasoning deck — real questions with worked answers.

1. What is an analogy in logical reasoning?

   An analogy is a relationship of similarity between two pairs of words/objects; you identify the relationship in the given pair and apply the same relationship to find the missing term (A is to B as C is to D).

2. In the analogy 'Doctor : Patient :: Lawyer : ?', what is the answer and what relationship is used?

   Client. The relationship is 'professional : person served'.

3. Name five common types of relationships tested in analogy questions.

   Synonym/antonym, cause-effect, worker-tool, part-whole, object-function, category-member, degree of intensity, and symbolic relationships.

4. In the analogy 'CGI : DHJ :: KOL : ?', identify the letter-shift logic.

   Each letter moves +1 in the alphabet (C→D, G→H, I→J), so KOL → LPM.

5. What is 'Classification' (odd-one-out) in logical reasoning?

   Classification requires finding the one item in a group that does not share the common property/relationship that the others share; that item is the odd one out.

6. In the classification set: Apple, Mango, Carrot, Banana — which is the odd one and why?

   Carrot, because it is a vegetable while the others are fruits.

7. What general strategy solves classification (odd-one-out) questions?

   Find the common characteristic shared by the majority of items (category, shape, number property, letter pattern), then eliminate items that fit it; the remaining item is the answer.

8. In the number classification 3, 5, 11, 14, 17, 21 — which two are odd ones if the rule is 'prime numbers'?

   14 and 21 are non-prime (the others 3, 5, 11, 17 are prime); 14 and 21 break the pattern.

9. What is a 'Series Completion' question?

   It presents a sequence of numbers, letters, or figures arranged by a hidden rule, and asks you to find the next term or the missing term following that rule.

10. Find the next term: 2, 6, 12, 20, 30, ?

    42. The differences are 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 (increasing by 2), so 30 + 12 = 42 (pattern n²+n).

11. What is the rule and next term in the series 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, ?

    These are perfect squares (1², 2², 3², 4², 5²); the next term is 36 (6²).

12. Identify the pattern: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, ? and give the next term.

    Fibonacci series—each term is the sum of the two preceding terms; next term is 8 + 13 = 21.

13. Find the missing term in the letter series: A, C, F, J, O, ?

    U. The gaps increase by 1 each time (+2, +3, +4, +5, +6): A→C→F→J→O→U.

14. What is 'Coding and Decoding'?

    It is a process where words/letters are encoded using a specific rule (letter-shift, substitution, number assignment); you decode the rule from given examples to encode/decode a new word.

15. In letter-coding, if CAT is coded as DBU, what is the coding rule?

    Each letter is shifted +1 forward in the alphabet (C→D, A→B, T→U).

16. If 'MANGO' is coded as 'NBOHP', how is 'APPLE' coded?

    BQQMF. Each letter moves +1 (A→B, P→Q, P→Q, L→M, E→F).

17. In number-coding, if A=1, B=2, ... Z=26, what is the code for 'CAB'?

    3-1-2 (C=3, A=1, B=2).

18. What is 'substitution coding'?

    A type of coding where words are replaced by other words (e.g., 'sky' is called 'sea', 'sea' is called 'river'); you answer questions using the substituted meanings, not the literal ones.

19. In reverse/backward letter coding, what letter corresponds to the position of 'D' counted from the end of the alphabet?

    D is the 4th letter from the start, so from the end it corresponds to W (27 − 4 = 23 = W).
