Analytical Ability and Logical Reasoning flashcards for NIMCET

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

1. In analogy problems, what is the core skill being tested?

   Identifying the relationship between the first pair of terms and applying that same relationship to find the missing term in the second pair.

2. In the analogy 'Doctor : Hospital :: Teacher : ?', what completes it and what is the relationship?

   School. The relationship is 'worker : workplace'.

3. What kind of relationship is shown in 'CO2 : Photosynthesis :: ? ', e.g. 'Hunger : Eating'?

   Cause and effect (problem/stimulus : action that uses or resolves it).

4. In number analogies, how do you solve a pair like '6 : 36 :: 8 : ?'

   Find the operation linking the first pair (square: 6²=36) and apply it: 8²=64.

5. Name four common relationship types used in analogy questions.

   Synonym/antonym, cause-effect, worker-tool/workplace, part-whole, and category-member (any four).

6. What is Classification (Odd-One-Out) in logical reasoning?

   Identifying the one item in a group that does not share the common property/category that all the others possess.

7. In Classification, what is the recommended first step?

   Find the common characteristic shared by most items, then eliminate the item that lacks it.

8. From 'Rose, Lotus, Lily, Mango', which is the odd one out and why?

   Mango — it is a fruit/tree, while the rest are flowers.

9. In number classification, which is odd: 9, 16, 24, 36?

   24 — the others (9, 16, 36) are perfect squares; 24 is not.

10. What is a Series Completion problem?

    A sequence of numbers, letters, or figures following a hidden pattern, where you must find the next term or the missing term.

11. What pattern governs the series 2, 6, 12, 20, 30, ...? Give the next term.

    Differences increase by 2 (4,6,8,10,12); next term = 30+12 = 42. (Also n²+n.)

12. Identify the rule and next term of: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, ...

    Perfect squares (n²); next term = 36.

13. In a letter series, how is the position value of letters used?

    Each letter is mapped to its number in the alphabet (A=1 ... Z=26) so numeric patterns/steps can be detected.

14. What is the next term in the Fibonacci-type series 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, ...?

    13 — each term is the sum of the two preceding terms.

15. What is Coding-Decoding in reasoning?

    Encrypting a word/message using a rule (letter shift, substitution, position number) and then decoding new words using the same rule.

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

    Each letter is moved one step forward in the alphabet (+1).

17. Using +1 shift coding (A→B), how is the word DOG coded?

    EPH.

18. What is the reverse-alphabet (atbash) code for the letter A and for B?

    A→Z and B→Y (each letter mapped to its opposite, position 27 minus its value).

19. In number coding, if A=1, B=2,... and 'BAD' = 2,1,4, how do you decode 3,1,2?

    Convert numbers back to letters: 3=C, 1=A, 2=B → CAB.
