NIMCET Analytical Ability and Logical Reasoning flashcards — 51 questions with 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.

  20. What is substitution coding (interchanged-words type)?

    Words/objects are renamed (e.g., 'sky is called sea'); you must answer using the substituted name rather than the real word.

  1. In Blood Relations, what relation is 'my father's son' (other than yourself)?

    Brother.

  2. Who is 'my mother's brother' in blood relations?

    Maternal uncle (mama).

  3. What relation is 'my father's sister'?

    Paternal aunt (bua).

  4. In blood-relation puzzles, what does 'my son's wife' refer to?

    Daughter-in-law.

  5. What is the technique to solve blood-relation statements quickly?

    Draw a family tree using symbols (+/− for gender, single line for marriage, vertical line for parent-child) and trace the relation.

  6. In a pointing puzzle, if a man says 'She is my father's only daughter's mother,' who is she?

    His mother (father's only daughter = his sister or himself's... actually father's only daughter's mother = his mother).

  7. What is a Puzzle Test (seating/arrangement) in reasoning?

    Arranging people or items according to a set of given conditions (linear, circular, or grid) to answer questions about positions or relationships.

  8. In a circular arrangement facing the centre, how do left and right appear compared to a viewer?

    They are reversed — a person's right is the anticlockwise direction and left is the clockwise direction (opposite to facing outward).

  9. What is the best strategy for solving arrangement puzzles?

    Start with the most definite (fixed) clues first, build the framework, then place conditional clues, eliminating impossible options.

  10. In linear arrangement, if all persons face north, where is a person's right?

    Toward the east (right of a north-facing person = east side / the higher position to their right).

  11. What is Data Interpretation (DI)?

    Analyzing data presented in tables, bar graphs, line graphs, or pie charts to compute and compare values and answer questions.

  12. In a pie chart, how many degrees represent a category that is 25% of the total?

    90° (since 25% × 360° = 90°).

  13. How do you convert a percentage in a pie chart to its central angle?

    Central angle = (percentage/100) × 360°.

  14. What is the formula for percentage change between an old and a new value?

    Percentage change = ((New − Old) / Old) × 100.

  15. In DI, how do you find the average of several data values?

    Average = (sum of all values) / (number of values).

  16. How is a ratio used to compare two quantities in DI, e.g., A=40, B=60?

    Express as A:B = 40:60 = 2:3 after dividing by the common factor (20).

  17. What is Data Sufficiency?

    A question type where you decide whether the given statement(s) provide enough information to answer a question — not to actually solve it fully.

  18. In standard Data Sufficiency, what does the option 'Statement I alone is sufficient but II alone is not' indicate?

    You can answer using only the first statement; the second is not needed and is insufficient on its own.

  19. In Data Sufficiency, what is the key rule about actually computing the final answer?

    You should not fully solve it; only determine whether the data is sufficient to reach a unique answer.

  20. In Data Sufficiency, when do you choose 'both statements together are sufficient (but neither alone)'?

    When neither statement alone gives a unique answer, but combining them does.

  21. What is a Syllogism?

    A logical argument with two premises (statements) and a conclusion, where you check whether the conclusion necessarily follows from the premises.

  22. In syllogisms, what does the universal affirmative 'All A are B' allow you to conclude about a specific A?

    Every A is definitely a B (but not necessarily that all B are A).

  23. From 'All cats are animals; all animals are living things', what conclusion follows?

    All cats are living things (valid transitive conclusion).

  24. In syllogism, does 'Some A are B' guarantee 'Some A are not B'?

    No — 'some A are B' does not by itself prove 'some A are not B'; that is a possibility, not a certainty.

  25. What tool is commonly used to test syllogism validity?

    Venn diagrams — drawing circles for each set to see which conclusions must hold.

  26. From 'No A is B; All C are A', what valid conclusion follows about C and B?

    No C is B (since all C lie within A, and A has no overlap with B).

  27. What is a Logical Venn Diagram problem?

    Representing the relationship among groups/classes using overlapping or separate circles, then choosing the diagram (or count) that correctly fits the categories.

  28. Which Venn diagram type represents 'Dogs, Cats, Animals'?

    Two separate (non-overlapping) circles for Dogs and Cats, both lying entirely inside a larger circle for Animals.

  29. What relationship do two completely overlapping (coincident) circles in a Venn diagram show?

    The two classes are identical/synonymous (e.g., 'Twelve' and 'Dozen').

  30. In a Venn diagram, what does the overlapping (intersecting) region of two partly overlapping circles represent?

    Items belonging to both categories at once (e.g., 'Doctors who are also Writers').

  31. How is the relationship 'Men, Doctors, Women' best shown in a Venn diagram?

    Men and Women as two separate circles, with Doctors as a circle overlapping both (some doctors are men, some are women).
