    or when both the halves are reversed

    Remember: Keep in mind the direction from which the letters are to be counted from LEFT or RIGHT

    Before answering a question, please imagine and place the given facts in proper sequence for quick and correct answer i.e, with SPEED and ACCURACY

    ............................................

  • Reasoning - 02 - Conditional Letters Numbers14:26

    Certain words are the key hints in such problems. Preceding or succeeding, middle, equidistant etc read in proper context will help in solving the questions with SPEED and ACCURACY

    PRECEDING ....means before

    SUCCEEDING ... means after/following

    How to trace out letters/numerals following certain given conditions or lying at defined position.

    Basic rule is to

    Satisfy the given conditions,

    better to identify the conditions and

    then satisfy one by one and

    with PRACTICE one is able to GRASP SHORT CUTS also.


  • Reasoning - 03 - Alphabetic Series15:51

    For effective solutions of these questions, candidate must have good knowledge of the alphabetic series and place value of letters in continuous and reverse order

    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

    with the most suitable alternatives provided in the options.

  • Reasoning - 04 - Alpha Numeric Sequence20:05

    In this video we will discuss questions related to ALPHA NUMERIC SEQUENCE.

    A jumbled sequence of some letters, numbers and symbols is given, followed by certain questions based on certain conditions.

    How to find elements ( letters , number and symbols)?

    How to determine the elements at a certain given relative position in the sequence?

    How to complete a series?

  • Reasoning - 05 - Alpha Test13:32

    In this video we will discuss different types of questions relating to Alpha Test. These questions are easy but we have to save time and maintain accuracy of high level

    Remember : while adding or subtracting hours, minutes and seconds KEEP IN MIND that

    60 seconds( not 100) = 1 minute

    60 minutes (not 100) = 1 hour, mostly in a hurry students make mistakes and hence wrong answer.

    Normal/ordinary year = 365 days

    Leap year = 366 days........How to identify a leap year?

    Such basic information will help in solving the difficult questions with SPEED and ACCURACY

    ............................

  • Reasoning - 07 - Ranking Test30:47

    Remember the difference between RANK and GAP of the position of a person in the sequence.

    RANK is 1 more than the GAP

    For solving reasoning questions KEEN/CLOSE OBSERVATION is required.

    If in a sequence RANK of the person from TOP (R1) and BOTTOM (R2) are given, then we can arrive at the total number of persons in the sequence..........(.R1 + R2) = (Total number of persons in the sequence + 1)

    .....................


  • Reasoning - 08 - Directions17:22

    Knowledge of directions -
