Analytical and Intelligence Reasoning flashcards for Police Constable Test

22 of 50 cards from the Analytical and Intelligence Reasoning deck — real questions with worked answers.

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

   Identifying the specific relationship between the first pair of items and applying the exact same relationship to complete the second pair.

2. Solve the analogy: Doctor : Hospital :: Teacher : ?

   School. The relationship is 'professional : workplace where they work.'

3. What are the common types of relationships used in analogies?

   Synonym, antonym, part-to-whole, cause-effect, worker-tool, worker-workplace, object-function, classification (category-member), and degree/intensity.

4. Solve the analogy: Hot : Cold :: Up : ?

   Down. The relationship is antonym (opposite).

5. Solve the number analogy: 2 : 8 :: 3 : ?

   27. The relationship is cube (2³=8, 3³=27).

6. What is the definition of a Classification / Odd One Out problem?

   A problem where four or five items share a common property except one; the task is to find the single item that does NOT belong to the group.

7. Find the odd one out: Rose, Lotus, Marigold, Mango.

   Mango. Rose, Lotus, and Marigold are flowers, while Mango is a fruit.

8. Find the odd one out: 3, 5, 11, 14, 17.

   14. All others are prime numbers (or odd numbers); 14 is even and not prime.

9. What is the recommended first step when solving an Odd One Out question?

   Identify the common category or property shared by the majority of items, then eliminate the one item that violates that shared property.

10. What is Coding-Decoding in reasoning?

    A process where letters, numbers, or symbols follow a rule (a code) to represent words or messages; the task is to discover the rule and apply it to encode or decode.

11. In letter coding, what is the standard forward positional value of A and Z in the alphabet?

    A = 1 and Z = 26 (forward positions). Reverse positions: A = 26 and Z = 1.

12. What is the EJOTY rule used for in coding-decoding?

    A memory aid for alphabet positions: E=5, J=10, O=15, T=20, Y=25, allowing quick recall of letter positions in multiples of five.

13. If CAT is coded as DBU, what is the coding rule?

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

14. What is the opposite-letter (complementary) pair rule? Give the pair for the letter B.

    Each letter is paired with its mirror from the other end so the positions sum to 27. B (2) pairs with Y (25), since 2 + 25 = 27.

15. What is the definition of a Blood Relations problem?

    A puzzle that tests the ability to determine family relationships between people based on given statements describing how they are connected.

16. In blood relations, who is your father's father's only son's wife (excluding your mother)?

    She is your mother. Father's father's only son is your father, so his wife is your mother.

17. What is the key technique for solving blood relation statements like 'pointing to a photo'?

    Work backward from the speaker, resolving the relationship phrase from the innermost (last) link to the outermost, and draw a family tree/diagram.

18. How is your mother's brother related to you?

    He is your maternal uncle (mamu).

19. How is your father's sister related to you?

    She is your paternal aunt (phupho).

20. In direction sense problems, what are the four cardinal and four ordinal directions?

    Cardinal: North, South, East, West. Ordinal (intermediate): North-East, North-West, South-East, South-West.

21. If you face North and turn 90° clockwise, which direction do you face?

    East.

22. If you face South and turn to your left, which direction do you face?

    East. (When facing South, your left hand points East.)
