Logical reasoning: practice, test and prove it
Series, coding-decoding, blood relations, directions, syllogisms and basic seating arrangements.
Logical reasoning sections in aptitude screenings test how carefully you follow rules. Typical questions ask for the next term in a series, the code for a word, a family relationship, a final direction or which conclusions follow from two statements. Most can be solved in under a minute once you know the method, but small slips like assuming a gender or misreading a turn cost marks.
The practice set covers each of these types. The lessons show quick diagram methods, so you can check your work instead of relying on memory.

Common questions
Is logical reasoning the same as aptitude?
It is usually one section of an aptitude screening, alongside quantitative and verbal sections. Reasoning focuses on patterns and rules rather than calculation.
Should I draw diagrams in a timed test?
Yes. A small sketch for relations, directions or syllogisms takes seconds and prevents the most common errors. Use the rough sheet if one is provided.
How do syllogism questions decide what follows?
A conclusion follows only if it must be true in every case allowed by the statements. If you can draw even one case where it is false, it does not follow.
