How to Solve Blood Relation Problems

Blood relation problems are solved by drawing a family tree diagram as each clue is read, using generation levels (rows) and gender-tagged nodes, then tracing…

How to Solve Direction Sense Problems

Direction sense problems are solved by plotting each movement on an imaginary compass grid — treating North as up, East as right — and tracking left/right turn…

How to Solve Coding-Decoding Problems

Coding-decoding problems are solved by finding the fixed rule that maps each letter or word to its code — usually a shift in the alphabet, a position swap, or…

How to Solve Syllogism Problems

Syllogism problems are solved by drawing Venn diagrams for each given statement and then checking which conclusions are true in every possible diagram consiste…

How to Solve Seating Arrangement Problems

Seating arrangement problems are solved by fixing the most constrained clue first (a definite position or a strong relative clue), placing it on a diagram, the…

How to Solve Logical Venn Diagram Problems

Logical Venn diagram problems are solved by drawing overlapping circles to represent categories and their relationships, then reading off which region a given…

How to Solve Dice-Based Reasoning Problems

Dice problems are solved by tracking which three faces are mutually adjacent versus which pairs are opposite, using the rule that opposite faces never appear t…

How to Solve Mirror and Water Image Problems

A mirror image flips an object left-to-right across a vertical axis, while a water (reflection) image flips it top-to-bottom across a horizontal axis, and both…

How to Solve Paper Folding and Cutting Problems

Paper folding and cutting problems are solved by mentally reversing each fold in order, unfolding the paper back to its original flat state, and mirroring any…

How to Solve Embedded (Hidden) Figures Problems

Embedded figures problems ask you to locate a given simple shape hidden within the lines of a more complex figure, and the reliable method is to trace the targ…

How to Solve Figure Series Completion Problems

Figure series completion problems are solved by isolating each independent transformation happening across the sequence — rotation, reflection, shading, elemen…

How to Solve Verbal Analogy Questions

A verbal analogy is solved by first naming the exact relationship between the given word pair, then finding the option pair that shares that identical relation…

How to Solve Non-Verbal Analogy Questions

A non-verbal analogy is solved by decomposing the first shape pair into its individual visual transformations — rotation, reflection, shading, size, or element…

How to Solve Classification (Odd One Out) Questions

Classification questions are solved by finding the single shared property that binds all but one item in the set, then confirming the odd item genuinely lacks…

How to Solve Figure Matrix Problems

A figure matrix is solved by reading the grid both row-wise and column-wise to find a consistent rule of change, then applying that same rule to fill the missi…

How to Solve Pattern Completion (Figure Series)

A figure-series pattern completion question is solved by tracking each visual attribute — rotation, shading, size, element count — across the whole sequence in…

How to Solve Statement and Assumptions Problems

An assumption is an unstated belief the speaker must be taking for granted for the statement to make sense, so you test each option by asking: does the stateme…

How to Solve Statement and Conclusions Problems

Cause and effect problems require ranking two given statements as independent cause, independent effect, common effect of a shared cause, or unrelated — decide…

How to Solve Course of Action Problems

A valid course of action is a practical, feasible step that directly follows from and addresses the problem described in the statement, so it is rejected if it…

How to Solve Decision-Making Reasoning Problems

Decision-making problems require applying a stated set of conditional rules or criteria mechanically to a case, checking each condition in sequence and elimina…

How to Solve Data Sufficiency Questions

Data sufficiency asks whether the given statements provide enough information to answer the question uniquely, not what the actual answer is, so you test each…

How to Solve Input-Output Machine Puzzles

Input-output machine puzzles show a sequence of transformed rows and require you to reverse-engineer the hidden rule — usually a repeating pattern of arithmeti…

How to Solve Ranking and Order Puzzles

Ranking and order puzzles are solved by converting every clue into a consistent positional statement — from one end, from the other end, or relative to another…
