(b) Logical Reasoning
The test is given to the candidates to judge their power of reasoning spread in verbal and nonverbal areas.
The candidates should be able to think logically so that they perceive the data accurately, understand the
relationships correctly, figure out the missing numbers or words, and to apply rules to new and different
contexts. These indicators are measured through performance on such tasks as detecting missing links,
following directions, classifying words, establishing sequences, and completing analogies.
5. Verbal Reasoning
5.1 Analogy
Analogy means correspondence. In the questions based on analogy, a particular relationship is given and
another similar relationship has to be identified from the alternatives provided.
5.2 Classification
Classification means to assort the items of a given group on the basis of certain common quality they possess
and then spot the odd option out.
6. Nonverbal Reasoning
6.1 Pattern Perception
Here a certain pattern is given and generally a quarter is left blank. The candidate is required to identify the
correct quarter from the given four alternatives.
15
6.2 Figure Formation and Analysis
The candidate is required to analyze and form a figure from various given parts.
Here a particular rule is given and it is required to select from the given sets of figures, a set of figures, which
obeys the rule and forms the correct series.
