As reasoning is one of the most time-consuming sections in the IBPS clerk exam, to categorize the section in terms of difficulty can be a good trick. You can categorize this section in simple, medium and complex and attempt questions in the same order. This way you will be able to finish more number of answers on time. Below is the categorization and sample questions that you must try to improve your Reasoning preparation for the upcoming exam.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"IBPS<\/a><\/p>\n

Reasoning Questions \u2013 Simple<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Classification\/Odd Pair<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

In \u201cClassification\/Odd Pair\u201d, certain pairs or groups of numbers are given out of which all except one are similar in some manner and one is different. The candidate is required to choose the odd pair \/ group.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sample Question:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. a) Treachery<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. b) Fraud<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. c) Deceit<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. d) Morbid<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Answer: Here, we can see that all except Morbid are synonymous to each other as they all mean \u2018falsehood\u2019 while \u2018morbid\u2019 means \u2018diseased\u2019. So, here we should have good vocabulary to solve such questions.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Series Completion<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

    In “Number Series”, a series is given with one term missing. The solution is to include the correct alternative that will be in the same pattern.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Sample Question:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    120, 99, 80, 63, 48?<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. a) 35<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. b) 38<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. c) 39<\/span><\/li>\n
    4. d) 40<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Answer: a) 35.<\/span><\/p>\n

      The given series is 120,99,80,63,48….<\/span><\/p>\n

      The difference between the series is 120-99=21, 99-80=19 and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n

      The pattern is – 21, – 19, – 17, – 15….<\/span><\/p>\n

      The main difference between the answer is 2 for all so at the end 63-48 we got 15 so 15-2=13. Therefore, 48-13=35.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Direction Based <\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

      \u201cDirection Based\u201d questions are asked to test one\u2019s ability of sensing the direction.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Sample Question:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

      One morning Jon Snow and Samwell Tarly were talking to each other face to face at a crossing. If Samwell Tarly\u2019s shadow was exactly to the left of Jon Snow, which direction was Jon Snow facing?<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. a) East<\/span><\/li>\n
      2. b) West<\/span><\/li>\n
      3. c) North<\/span><\/li>\n
      4. d) South<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Answer: c) North.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Shadow is directly related to direction. Sun rises in the east, so shadow will be in the left, here, shadow of Samwell Tarly is left of Jon Snow. It means Jon Snow is towards north.<\/span><\/p>\n
