This section comprises of questions put in the form of puzzles involving a certain number of items, be it persons or things. The candidate is required to analyse the given information, condense it in a suitable form and answer the questions asked.

Example– Read the following information carefully and answer the questions given below:

There are five friends – Shailendra, Keshav, Madhav, Ashish and Rakesh. Shailendra is shorter than Keshav but taller than Rakesh. Madhav is the tallest. Ashish is a little shorter than Keshav and a little taller than Shailendra.

  1. Who is the shortest?

(1) Rakesh (2) Shailendra (3) Ashish (4) Keshav (5) None of these

  1. If they stand in the order of their heights, who will be in the middle?

(1) Keshav (2) Rakesh (3) Shailendra (4) Ashish (5) None of these

  1. If they stand in the order of increasing heights, who will be the second?

(1) Ashish (2) Shailendra (3) Rakesh (4) Keshav (5) None of these

  1. Who is the second tallest?

  1. Who is taller than Ashish but shorter than Madhav?

(1) Rakesh (2) Keshav (3) Shailendra (4) Data inadequate (5) None of these

Solution- Let us denote the friends by the first letter of each name, namely S, K, M, A and R. It is given that Shailendra is shorter than Keshav but taller than Rakesh. Therefore R < S < K. Ashish is a little shorter than Keshav and a little taller than Shailendra ie S < A < K. Madhav is the tallest. From this we get R < S < A < K < M.

  1. (1) Rakesh is the shortest.
  2. (4) Ashish is in the middle.
  3. (2) In the order of increasing heights, Shailendra is the second.
  4. (2) Keshav is the second tallest.

(2) Keshav is taller than Ashish but shorter than Madhav

This section deals with questions in which series of numbers or letters are given. The term follows a certain pattern throughout. The candidate is required to recognise this pattern either to complete the given series with the most suitable alternative or to find the wrong term in the series.

Number Series

Example-1– Which number would replace the question mark (?) in the series 2, 7, 14, 23, ?, 47

(1) 28 (2) 34 (3) 31 (4) 38 (5) None

Ans: The given sequence is +5, +7, +9,——- , ie. 2+ 5 = 7, 7 + 7 = 14, 14 + 9 = 23

Missing Number = 23 + 11 = 34.

Example -2– Find the wrong number in the series- 7, 28, 63, 124, 215, 342

(1) 7 (2) 28 (3) 124 (4) 215 (5) None

Ans:The correct sequence is 23– 1, 33 – 1, 43 – 1, …etc.

Here 28 is wrong; so the answer is (2)

Alaphabet Series

Alphabet series consists of letters of the alphabet placed in a specific pattern. If you keep in your mind the order of the letters with their respective numbers it will help you answer the questions quickly.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

Example. What will be the next term in BKS, DJT, FIU, HHV, ?

(1) IJX (2) IGX (3) JGW (4) IGU(5) JGU

Ans: (3). In each term, the first letter is moved two steps forward, the second letter one step backward and the third letter one step forward to obtain the corresponding letter of the next term. So, the missing term is JGW.

Letter Series

This type of question usually consists of a series of small letters which follow a certain pattern. However some letters are missing from the series. These missing letters are then given in a proper sequence as one of the alternatives. The candidate is required to choose this alternative as the answer.

Example. aab – aaa – bba –

(1) baa (2) abb (3) bab (4) aab(5) bbb

1.The first blank space should be filled in by ‘b’ so that we have two a’s followed by two b’s.

2.The second blank space should be filled in either by ‘a’. So that we have four a’s followed by two b’s, or by ‘b’. So that we have three a’s followed by three b’s.

3.The last space must be filled in by ‘a’.

4.Thus we have two possible answers – ‘baa’ and ‘bba’.

5.But only ‘baa’ appears in the alternatives. So the answer is (1).

6.In case we had both the possible answers in the alternatives, we should choose the one that forms a more prominent pattern, which is aabb/aaabbb/aa. and our answer would have been ‘bba’.
