BITSAT Logical Reasoning Flashcards
50 question-and-answer cards covering Logical Reasoning as it is examined in BITSAT. 24 of them are printed below, taken from across the deck — no signup, no paywall on the preview.
24 sample cards from the Logical Reasoning deck
Sampled from the end of the deck, so these are different cards from the ones shown on the syllabus page.
In figure analogy (Problem Figures A:B :: C:?), what must you determine?
The transformation that converts figure A into figure B, then apply the identical transformation to figure C.
In figure classification, how do you find the odd figure?
Identify the common feature shared by most figures (e.g., number of sides, symmetry, line type, rotation direction); the figure lacking that feature is the answer.
What is a Mirror Image?
The reflection of an object as seen in a vertical mirror placed beside it — left and right are interchanged while top and bottom stay the same.
What is a Water Image?
The reflection of an object as seen in water (a horizontal mirror placed below it) — top and bottom are interchanged while left and right stay the same.
In a mirror image, which letters look unchanged (symmetric about a vertical axis)?
Letters symmetric vertically: A, H, I, M, O, T, U, V, W, X, Y.
In a water image, which capital letters remain unchanged (symmetric about a horizontal axis)?
Letters symmetric horizontally: B, C, D, E, H, I, K, O, X.
How does a mirror image of the number 123 appear (vertical mirror on the right)?
The order reverses left-to-right and each digit flips, appearing as the mirror-reversed form of 321.
What is the key trick for solving Paper Folding and Punching problems?
Each punch made through folded layers is reproduced symmetrically about every fold line when unfolded; trace back each fold to mirror the holes across that crease.
If a square paper is folded once and a hole is punched, how many holes appear when unfolded?
Two holes — the original punch plus its mirror image across the single fold line.
In paper-folding, if a sheet is folded twice (into quarters) and one hole is punched, how many holes appear on unfolding?
Four holes — the punch is mirrored across both fold lines (2 × 2).
What is a 'Rule Detection' problem in non-verbal reasoning?
You are given a rule or condition and must select the figure (or group) that satisfies that stated rule from several options.
What is a 'Grouping/Group of Figures' problem?
Several figures must be sorted into classes based on shared characteristics (shape, number of elements, symmetry); you identify which figures belong together.
In a linear seating arrangement where people face the same direction, how are 'left' and 'right' defined?
From the perspective of the seated person; if all face north, the person's left is the west side and right is the east side of the observer's view (opposite to the reader's left/right).
In a circular arrangement where all persons face the CENTRE, how do left/right relate to clockwise/anticlockwise?
A person's right is the anticlockwise direction and left is the clockwise direction (because they face inward).
In a circular arrangement where all persons face OUTWARD, how do left/right relate to clockwise/anticlockwise?
A person's right is the clockwise direction and left is the anticlockwise direction (reverse of facing-centre).
For a Puzzle, what is the recommended first step before placing items?
List all variables, draw a framework (table/grid/circle/floors), then apply the definite (fixed) clues first and conditional clues last to avoid backtracking.
In Direction Sense, name the four cardinal and four ordinal directions.
Cardinal: North, South, East, West. Ordinal: North-East, North-West, South-East, South-West (the in-between diagonals).
If you face North and turn right, then right again, which direction do you finally face?
North → right = East → right = South. You face South.
In Direction Sense, how do you compute the shortest (straight-line) distance between start and end points?
Use the Pythagorean theorem: shortest distance = sqrt(horizontal displacement^2 + vertical displacement^2), treating net east-west and north-south distances as the two legs.
A person walks 3 km North then 4 km East. What is the straight-line distance from the start?
5 km, since sqrt(3^2 + 4^2) = sqrt(9+16) = sqrt(25) = 5.
At sunrise, if your shadow falls to your right, which direction are you facing?
South — at sunrise the sun is in the East, casting shadows toward the West; if West is to your right, you face South.
What is a 'Data Sufficiency' question?
A question with two (or more) statements where you must decide whether each statement alone, both together, or neither is sufficient to answer — without necessarily computing the final answer.
State the standard five answer options for a two-statement Data Sufficiency question.
(A) Statement I alone sufficient; (B) Statement II alone sufficient; (C) both together sufficient but neither alone; (D) each alone sufficient; (E) both together still not sufficient.
What is the key mindset error to avoid in Data Sufficiency?
Do not actually solve for the value; only judge whether the information is enough to determine a unique answer, and evaluate each statement independently before combining.
What this deck covers
This deck covers the Logical Reasoning portion of the BITSAT syllabus in question-and-answer form. Browse the full BITSAT syllabus to see how it fits with the rest.
Answers are written to be recallable, not just readable — averaging about 125 characters, which is long enough to carry the reasoning and short enough to say out loud.
A deck like this earns its keep on the second and third pass. Read the syllabus first so you know the shape of the subject, then use the cards to find the specific facts that have not stuck.
Logical Reasoning flashcards FAQ
How many Logical Reasoning flashcards are in this BITSAT deck?
50 cards. This page previews 24 of them, sampled evenly across the deck so you can judge the difficulty before installing anything.
Are these BITSAT flashcards free?
Yes. The preview here is free to read with no signup, and the full 50-card deck is free inside the Examius app.
What do the Logical Reasoning cards cover?
They follow the Logical Reasoning portion of the BITSAT syllabus, in question-and-answer form.
How should I use these flashcards?
Read the syllabus first so you know the shape of the subject, then drill the deck. Examius schedules each card with spaced repetition, so cards you keep missing come back sooner and ones you know drift further apart.
