Muhammad Usman Yousaf
Part 1 of 5
Introduction Part 1 of 5
In this part I have tried to cover two major things regarding Analytical Reasoning Questions.
What is Analytical Reasoning?
How do you answer Analytical Reasoning Questions?
Mujay nahein pata k main apni koshish main kis had tak kamyab hoa hon. Lekin mujay umed hai
k GAT Preparation group k kafi members ko is say help milay ge. In part 1, main nay sirf itna
bataya hai k Analytical Reasoning Problem hotay kaya hain aur unko solve karnay k liye hamain
kin chezon ko consider karna parta hai. Baqi four parts k andar main different type k analytical
questions ko with explanation solve karon ga. Lekin is portion ko karnay k liye aik shart hai aur
wo hai PRACTICE.
With practice aap is section main easily 70% plus score kar saktay hain.
WHAT IS ANALYTICAL REASONING?

Analytical Reasoning k Questions bilkul puzzle games ki tarah hotay hain jis main hamain chand
clues diye hotay hain jinko use kar k hum nay problem ka solution nikaalna hota hai.
Is k liye pehlay hum aik simple problem lay kar usay solve kar k dekhtay hain ta k hamain thora
idea ho jaye k ye Analytical Reasoning kaya balaa hai jis nay GAT walo ko mushkil main dala
hova hai.
Problem Statement
Three Musicians D, E and F can play exactly one instrument: The piano, The Flute, The Guitar
though not necessarily in the same order.
D, whose sister is guitar player does not play piano
F is an only child.
Solution
Ab hamain question main diye gaye clues ko use kartay hoye problem ko solve karna paray ga
aur in clues say hamain ye maloom karna paray ga k akhar kon kaya bajata hai.
F guitar nahein baja sakta Q k wo aik bacha hai aur guitar k baray main bara wazaya toor par
diya gaya hai k D ki behan bajati hai. Iska matlab k D b guitar nahein baja sakta to phir ab
sirf aik E he bacha hai. So, E Plays the guitar
Ab ye clear ho gaya hai k D guitar nahein bajata aur pehli condition main diya gaya hai k D
piano b nahein bajata to is say ye result nikalta hai k F plays Piano and D plays Flute.
Is ka matlab hai k agar hum de hoi conditions ko gor say parhain to hum Analytical Reasoning k
questions k solve kar saktay hain aur apna ye dar door kar sakty hain k ye sawal to hal he nahein
hotay.
HOW DO YOU ANSWER ANALYTICAL REASONING QUESTIONS?

Different book main Analytical Reasoning ko solve karnay k liye different method diye gaye
hain main yaha par wo methods discuss karnay ja raha hon jinko main nay follow kiya hai. Ye
nechay diye gaye hain.
1. Summarize the initial conditions in a book keeping system.
2. Look for further conclusions.
3. Treat each questions sepetately.
4. Use the answer choices to create a feedback loop.
Ab main zara in charo steps ki thori wazahat kar deta hon.
1) Summarize the initial conditions in a book keeping system.
Is stage main hum apnay questions k important points aur conditions ko ya to kuch symbols main
convert kar lete hain ya phir graph ki shakal main likh lete hain ta k hamain bar bar question ki
lambi statement ko na parhna paray. Ye symbols aur graphical representation zarori nahein k ap
wohi use karain jo main agay bayan karon ga, ye aap koi b apni marzi ki apni asaani k liye use
kar saktay hain. Kuch symbols jo main b mostly aisay questions ko solve karnay k liye use karta
hon wo nechay de gai hain.
And
Or
Not
If, then
Same as, next to
Not same as, not next to
Greater than, older, before
>
At least
At most
Less than, younger, after
<
If and only if
Ye symbols apko kafi books main milain ge lekin main dobara kahon ga k zarori nahein k ap
yehe symbols use karain. Ap koi b khud apni marzi ki symbols use kar saktay hain.
Precautionary Note: Jab b ap apnay questions ko symbols ya graphical representation main
convert kar rahay hon to isko kam az kam 2 dafa check zaror kar lain Q k interpretation of
statement main aik choti c mistake say ap ka pora question galat ho sakta hai.
Ab hum aik example problem b discuss kar lete hain jis say in Analytical Reasoning ki problem
ko summarize karnay main hamain help mil jaye.
Problem Statement
A cook is mixing eight ingredients to make new dishes. The ingredients are A, B, C, D, E, F, G
and H. The ingredients must be used according to conditions given below;
i)
If D is used in a dish, G and H must also be used in that same dish.
ii)
If G is used in a dish, then exactly two of the three ingredients C, D and E must also
be used in that dish.
iii)
C cannot be used in a dish with G.
iv)
E can be used in a dish if and only if A is also used in that dish.
v)
B, C and D cannot all be used in the same dish.
Summarizing of Problem Statement

Ab hamain jo question oper diya gaya hai is main pehli important chez ye hai k hamaray pas 8
ingredients hain jin k name A, B, C, D, E, F, G aur H hain. Ab de hoi conditions ko hum oper de
gai symbols k zariye is tara say zahar karain gay.
i)
D (G & H)
ii)
G (C & D) v (C & E) v (D & E)
iii)
C G
5
iv)
E A
v)
~ (B & C & D)
Jab hum apni symbols ko successfully likh lain gay to hamain bar bar question ko parhnay ki
zarorat nahein paray ge aur aik problem statement k sath diye gaye tamam questions asani say
solve ho jayein gay.
2) Look for further conclusions.
Jab hum apni initial conditions ko successfully summarize kar lete hain to next step main hum
nay ye dekhna hota hai k kaya hum in intital conditions ki summary ko use kartay hoye mazeed
koi results nikaal saktay hain ya nahein. Q k baaz auqat ye further results hamaray aik ya aik say
zayada questions ko answer karnay k liye zarori hotay hain. Is ki clarification k liye aik example
discuss kar lete hain
Six students A, B, C, D, E and F are being considerd for a field trip. The conditions for selection
process of students are given below,
i)
If D is selected, then neither E nor F can be selected.
ii)
If A is selected, then B cannot be selected.
iii)
If B is selected, then F must also be selected.
Ab oper de hoi conditions say hum further aur resluts b nikaal saktay hain. Maslan oper de gai
condition say aik further result ye nikalta k D aur F ekathay select nahein kiye ja saktay.
Precautionary Note: Zarori nahein k har problem main further results lazmi niklain lehaza agar
to apko conditions parh kar fori tor par koi further reslut nazar aye to usay note kar lain other
wise is chez par apna zayada time waste na karain.
3) Treat each questions seperately.
Analytical Reasoning questions solve karnay k liye ye sab say tricky stage hoti hai. Sometimes
aisa hota hai k ap k paas aik problem statement hoti hai aur us k nechay kuch conditions de hoti
hain jinko use kar k aap questions solve kar rahay hotay ho k achanak kisi question main aik
extra condtion day de jati hai.
Yaad rakhiye k wo extra condition sirf usi aik specific question k liye hoti hai. Aur us extra
condition ki treatment k liye 2 chezon ka khayal rakhna parta hai.
i)
Agar to wo extra conditon, initial conditions main say kisi k sath contradict kar rahi
hai to new condition valid ho ge aur wo initial condition invalid ho jaye ge
ii)
Agar wo extra condition, initial conditions main say kisi k sath contradict nahein kar
rahi to tamam initial conditions valid rahain ge
Precautionary Notes: Jese he aap extra condition wala question solve kar k next question ki taraf
move karain gay to wo extra condition void ho jaye ge aur tamam initial conditions ap k new
question k lie valid rahain ge.
4) Use the answer choices to create a feedback loop.
Jesa k hum sab jantay hain Analytical Reasoning Questions main hamain choices de jati hain. To
phir hamain ye b pata hona chahiye k correct answer sirf aur sirf aik he option ho sakti hai.
Agar hum Analytical Reasoning ko answer karnay ki stages ko properly follow kartay hoye
aayein gay to hamaray paas sirf aik he correct option aye ge.
Lekin agar hum apni taraf say to thek kar rahay hain lekin hamaray jawab aik say zayada options
thek aa rahay hain to iska matlab hai k hum nay question main koi important point overlook kar
diya hai
Isi tara agar tamam procedure follow kartay hoye hamara koi b option correct answer nahein day
raha to it means k hum nay kahein summrize karnay main mistake kar de hai.
So, it clearly means k Analytical Reasoning k questions ko solve karnay k liye sab say impotrant
is ki correct summarization hoti hai.
Analytical Reasoning Short Notes Part 2

By
Part 2 of 5
After positive feedback from most of group members, I am extending my effort to explain
Analytical Reasoning section with mixture of my Urdu and English. In this part I have tried to
cover one major issue regarding Analytical Reasoning Problems.
Important Considerations while answering Analytical Reasoning Problems.
In part 1, main nay ye bataya tha k Analytical Reasoning Problems hotay kaya hain aur unko
solve karnay k liye hamain kin chezon ko consider karna parta hai. Now, in part 2, main kuch
important points discuss karon ga jo Analytical Questions ko answer karnay k liye zarori hotay
hain aur us k baad kuch precautions bataon ga jo test main time bachanay k liye zarori hoti hain.
Aur again wohi bat kahon ga k is portion ko karnay k liye aik shart hai aur wo hai PRACTICE.
With practice aap is section main definitely 70% plus score kar saktay hain.
WHICH FACTORS SHOULD WE CONSIDER WHILE ANSWERING

ANALYTICAL REASONING PROBLEMS?
1) Approaches for Different Types of Questions in Analytical Reasoning
Analytical Problems main 4 types k question mostly pochay jatay hain jin k darmayan faraq ko
samajna bohat zarori hota hai.
i)
What must be true? Or What must not be false?
ii)
What must not be true? Or What must be false?
iii)
Which can be true? Or Which could be true? Or Which may be true? Or

Which might be true? Or Which should be true? Or Which cannot be false? Or
Which could not be false? Or Which may not be false? Or Which might not be
false? Or Which should not be false?
iv)
Which can be false? Or Which could be false? Or Which may be false? Or

Which might be false? Or Which should be false? Or Which cannot be true? Or
Which could not be true? Or Which may not be true? Or Which might not be
true? Or Which should not be true? Or
Is tara k questions main hum khud ko confuse kar lete hain. Kis type main kaya approach use
karni chahiye us k liye hamain pehlay MUST BE TRUE or MAY BE TRUE ka
difference samajna paray ga. Q k MUST BE TRUE is not equal to MAY BE TRUE.
Special Note: Analytical Reasoning Problems k questions main Can be, Could be, May be,
Might be, Shall be, Should be in sab ka matlab aik he samja jata hai.
MUST BE TRUE
It is less ambiguous
MAY BE TRUE
It is more ambiguous
Ye wo exact answer hota hai jo de hoi Ye wo answer hota hai jo hum de hoi
conditions ko fulfill karta hai
statements say deduce kar saktay hain
Is main hamain sirf de hoi information par he Is main hum apni valid assumptions b utilize
rely karna parta hai
kar saktay hain
Is main hamain ye dhayan rakhna parta hai k Is main hamain ye dekhna parta hai k jo
hum say exactly pocha kaya gaya hai sirf usi pocha gaya hai uski possibilities kitni ho
ka jawab dena hota hai.
sakti hain
Jo differences hum nay oper bayan kiye hain un ka faraq samajnay k liye hum aik example
discuss kar lete hain.
Suppose hamain aik aisi statement de gai hai k.
i)
Jo insan stairs say girtay hain un ki left tang toot jati hai.
ii)
Ali aik insan hai aur wo staris say gir gaya hai.
Case Must be ture:

Ab oper de gai statements ko agar hum logically jorain to hamari pehli statement kehti hai k
jo b insan stairs say girta hai uski left tang tot jati hai aur Ali b insan hai aur wo stairs say gir
gaya hai to it MUST BE TRUE k uski left tang toot jaye ge.
Case May be true:
Ab oper de gai statements say hum ye result nahein nikaal saktay k Ali gira hai to uska bazo
b toota hoga ya uski qamar ki haddi b tooti ho ge. Q k ye chezain statement main kahi he nai
gai. Ye assumptions hum khud say laga rahay hain jo natural conditions main ho b sakti hain
aur nahein b. So this is the best explanation of MAY BE TRUE.
Special Note: For further clarification of the concept you may follow this link
http://www.top-law-schools.com/must-be-true.html
2) Process of Choice Elimination on the basis of Initial Conditions
Sometimes jab kisi question main koi extra conditions na de hon to hum elimination method
k zariye say apnay question ko asaani say solve kar saktay hain. Is main hum ye kartay hain k
apni har answering option ko apni conditions k sath compare kartay hain aur agar kisi option
main aik condition b violate ho jaye to us ko eliminate kar dete hain aur is tara akhar main
hamaray paas aik he option reh jati hai jis par tamam conditions fulfill hoti hain aur wohi
hamari answering option hoti hai.
Isko samajnay k liye hum aik choti c example discuss kar lete hain.
4
Problem Statement:
Six contestants, R, S, T, U, V, and W, are to be placed first (highest) through sixth (lowest),
though not necessarily in that order, at the start of a singles Ping-Pong challenge contest.
i)
R is placed above S.
ii)
V is placed above both T and U.
iii)
W is placed two places above T.
iv)
R is placed either third or fourth.
Question: Which of the following is a possible initial placing from highest to lowest?
A) V, T, W,R, U, S
B) W, U, T,V,R,S
C) W, S, T,R,V,V
D) V, W, R, T, U, S
E) V, W, T,R, U, S
Summarization of Initial Conditions
i)
R <S
ii)
V < (T & U)
iii)
W=T2
iv)
R=3v4
Elimination of Choices
Hum choices ki elimination k liye 2 methods use kar saktay hain. In dono main say apko jo b
approach better lagay ap wo use kar lain ya phir agar ap ko is say better approach ka pata hai to
ap wo b use kar saktay hain. Q k ye methods hard and fast rules nahein hain. Dono approaches
nechay de gai hain.
a) Elimination of Choices by using Answering Options
b) Elimination of Choices by using Initial Conditions
Dono approaches apko aik jesi he lagain ge but kuch log first main comfortable feel karain gay
jab k kuch log second main. So, I am explaining both of them.
a) Elimination of Choices by using Answering Options
Is method main hum bari bari kar k aik aik option pakrain gay aur us par initial conditions
apply karain gay. Jis option par aik b condition violate ho ge usay hum eliminate kar dain gay
aur end par sirf aik he option bachay ge jis par saray rules satisfy hon gay aur wo hamara
answer hoga.
Let us check option A first:
Condition no i is satisfied
Condition no ii is satisfied
Condition no iii is not satisfied
Ab hum condition no iv ko check he nahein karain gay Q k jab aik b condition violate ho jaye to
wo answer ho he nahein sakta.
Let us check option B:
Condition no ii is not satisfied
Ab hum condition no iii and iv ko check he nahein karain gay Q k jab aik b condition violate ho
jaye to wo answer ho he nahein sakta.
Let us check option C:
Condition no i is not satisfied
So, option C be eliminate ho gai.

Let us check option D:
Condition no iii is satisfied
Condition no iv is also satisfied
Iska matlab hai k hamara Answer option D he hai. Agar hum option E ko na b check karain to
guzara ho jaye ga lekin main apko suggest karon ga k ap tamam options zaror check karain is say
hamain ye pata chal jaye ga k hum nay kahein koi galti to nahein ki.
Let us check option E:
6
Condition no iii is not satisfied
So option E is also eliminated. Now without any doubt our right answer after eliminating process
is option D.
b) Elimination of Choices by using Initial Conditions
Is method main hum bari bari kar k aik aik initial condition pakrain gay aur usay tamam
options par apply karain gay. Jo rule kisi b option par satisfy nahein hoga wo choice hum
eliminate kar dain gay. Is tara end par hamaray pas sirf aik he option bachay ge jis par tamam
rules apply hon gay aur wohi hamara answer hoga.
Let us check Condition i first:
Satisfied with Option A
Satisfied with Option B
Not Satisfied with Option C
Satisfied with Option D
Satisfied with Option E
Option C par condition no i satisfy nahein hoti is liye option C yahen par eliminate ho jaye ge
aur further hum koi aur condition option C par check nahein karain gay.
Let us check Condition ii:
Not Satisfied with Option B
Option C is already eliminated so no need to check
Is test k baad Option B is also eliminated.

Let us check Condition iii:
7
Not Satisfied with Option A
Option B is already eliminated so no need to check
Not Satisfied with Option E
After checking condition no iii, 2 more options A and E are eliminated. Ab sifr aik he option
bachi hai aur wo D hai lekin abi hum ye nahein keh saktay k D is our answer q k abi aik
condition baqi hai.
Let us check Condition iv:
Option A is already eliminated so no need to check
Option E is already eliminated so no need to check
After testing all initial conditions on Answering options, only D is left which satisfies all given
initial conditions. So, right answer is D.
I hope k aap ko eliminating choices k through question ko solve karna samaj main aa gaya hoga.
Baqi dono approaches similar he hain aur apko jo b suitable lagay ap wo choose kar lain.
Precautionary Note: Ye zarori nahein k tamam question elimination method say he hon. So,
dont apply this method blindly on all questions.
3) Technical Errors during interpretation of If statements
Jin statements main word If use hota hai hum aksar unko interpretation main aik technical
error kar dete hain jo main nay nechay explain kiya hai. For example,
If P is selected, then Q must be selected.
Is statement ka matlab hai k agar P ko liya hai to Q ko lazmi lain gay. Lekin is ka ye har giz
matlab nahein hai k agar Q liya hai to P b lena paray ga. Yehe wo technical mistake hai jo hum
If ki statement walay question main kartay hain. So be careful while dealing such statements.
4) Technical Errors during interpretation of If and only if statements
Jin statements main word If and only if use hota hai hum aksar unko interpretation main If ki
statement k sath mix kar dete hain hala k dono main aik bara clear difference hai jo nechay de
gai example main explain kiya gaya hai. For example,
P is selected, if and only if Q is selected.
Is statement ka matlab hai k agar P ko liya hai to Q ko lazmi lain gay. Aur is ka ye b matlab hai k
agar Q liya hai to P b lena paray ga. Yehe basic difference hai If statement main aur If and
only if ki statement main. If and only if ko sometime Iff say b zahar kiya jata hai.
Tabular form main difference nechay diya gaya hai jis say apko key difference point zayada
clear ho jayein gay.

5) Value Your Time

Ap sab nay 2 terms bohat zayada suni hon ge.
Effectiveness
Efficiency
9
Hum farz kartay hain k Ali aur Akbar nay GAT ka test diya. Test ka time 120 minutes tha. Ali
nay pora test 90 minute main solve kar liya jab k Akbar pora test diye hoye time main solve
nahein kar paya. Jab result aya to pata chala k Akbar k marks Ali say zayada hain.
Oper wali statement parh kar hum 2 batain keh saktay hain.
1) Ali is more efficient than Akbar. Q k Ali nay Akbar say pehlay pora paper solve kar liya
2) Akbar is more effective than Ali. Q k Akbar nay paper main Ali say zayada marks liye.
Lekin dono main say behtar kon hai. To answer hai k dono he nahein. Q k to be successful in any
field you have to effective as well as efficient. Same rule applies in GAT test. Apko agar sara
paper aata ho lekin aap usay within given time solve he na kar sakain to uska koi faida nahein
hai. So you have to value your time during the test and you have to be very careful regarding
those things which consume time in Analytical Reasoning Question and normally termed as
Point Killers
Black Holes
Point Killers
Point killers is tara k questions hotay hain jo apka waqt lazmi lete hain. Ap inko short cut main
solve nahein kar sakty. In main is tara k questions hotay hain
Agar P hoa to Q be ho ga
Agar Q hoa to R be ho ga
Agar R hoa to S nahein ho ga
Aisay questions ko koshish karain k last par try karain ta k apka time baqi questions main b
distribute ho sakay
Black Holes
Science kehti hai k hamari universe main bohat saray aisay Black Holes majood hain k jin main
itni kashish hoti hai k baray baray sitaray b us main gir kar kho jatay hain. Isi tara kuch
Analytical Reasoning Problems b Black Holes ki tara hotay hain k jab ap unko start kartay hain
10
to un main aisa kho jatay hain k apko time ka hosh he nahein rehta aur apka kafi time waste ho
jata hai. Agar koi is tara ka question aa jaye to kabi kabaar Tukkay say b kaam chala lena
chahiye aur time bacha lena chahiye. Lekin agar ap k paas time hai to you should solve.

Part 3 of 5
After tremendous feedback from of group members, I am presenting this 3rd Part of short notes
series. Pehlay 2 parts main main nay taqreban tamam basic chezain discuss ki hain jo Analytical
Reasoning k problems ko solve karnay k liye zarori ho sakti hain. In part 3, main nay ye discuss
kiya hai
Different Categories of Analytical Reasoning Problems
Explanation of First two categories of Analytical Reasoning Problems with the help of
solved example problem
Ab baqi 2 parts main b main different categories ka aik aik question with explanation solve karon
ga aur apko suggest karon ga k first 2 parts achi tara parh lain q k agar apko first 2 parts clear
hain to apko questions solve karnay main koi masla nahein hoga.
Aur jatay jatay wohi purani bat kahon ga k is portion ko karnay k liye aik shart hai aur wo hai
PRACTICE. With practice aap is section main surely 70% plus score kar saktay hain.
DIFFERENT CATEGORIES OF ANALYTICAL REASONING PROBLEMS

On the basis of nature of questions, Analytical Reasoning problems can be divided into one of
the following categories.
1. Straight Order
2. Scattered Order
3. Suitable Selections
4. Table Seating Arrangements
a. Circular Table Arrangements
b. Rectangular Table Arrangements
5. Comparison Problems
6. Networking Problems
7. Matrix Problems
8. Relationship Problems
Ho sakta hai k different books main ye method kisi aur name say available hon. Main nay wo
name use kiye hain jo us book main diye gaye hain jisko main follow kar raha hon.
In GAT General about 90% and sometimes 100% questions belong to first four categories. Jitnay
test main nay abi tak diye hain un main mostly 40% questions first category k hotay thay. 30%
second category k. 20% third category k aur 10% fourth category k. Lekin iska ye har giz matlab
nahein k baqi 4 categories ka kabi question nahein aaya. So, prepare all methods but give more
concentrattion on first four categories as compared to last four categories. Now, I will explain
first two categories in this part.
1) Straight Order
The simplest and most commonly analytical reasoning questions are straight order questions.
This kind of problems normally starts with this kind of statements;
Five people standing in a line
Twelve people in a street in twelve houses
Six runners in a race etc
2) Scattered Order
A little bit tough as compared to Straight Order problems but not toughest.
These kind of problems normally start with
There are five chairs and four persons
There are ten people and six rooms
There are three people and five dishes etc . . .
In dono ka faraq ab ko main tabular form main samjata hon

Important Note: Analytical Problems chahay kisi b category k hon agar hum wo tamam basic
rules aur precautions ko follow karain jo pehlay 2 parts main explain ki gai hain to ap har type k
questions ko easily solve kar lain gay.

Now let us solve one question of straight order. But before solving please make it sure k pehlay 2
parts apko mukamal clear hain.
Problem Statement Straight Ordering:
In a school function six students J,K,L,M,N and O are sitting in front row of six seats. All six
seats are numbered from 1 to 6. Only one person is sitting in one seat.
i)

A) 1
B) 2
C) 3
D) 4
E) 5
6 If K is in seat 2, which of the following is a complete and accurate listing of the seats which
O could occupy?
A) 1
B) 3
C) 3 and 4
D) 1, 3 and 4
E) 3, 4 and 5
Solution
First of all we will summarize our initial conditions either as per methods given in many books
or by our own developed signs.

i)
J (1 v 6)
ii)
NL
iii)
NK
iv)
O > N
Ab hum ye dekhain gay k kaya hum initial conditions ko use kartay hoye further conclusions
nikaal saktay hain ya nahein.
G han hum yahan say further conclusions nikaal saktay hain. Hum in conditions ko use kartay
hovay kai possible seating arrangements nikaal saktay hain lekin is kaam main kafi zayada time
lag jaye ga is liye filhaal hum further conclusions ko chor kar agay move karain gay. Pehlay
main sab questions k just answer don ga aur aap b inko pehlay khud hal kar k dekhain k kaya aap
k answer nechay diye gaye answers k sath tally kartay hain ya nahein. Us k baad in answers ki
main explanation don ga.

Explanatory Answer
Is par hum wohi Choice Elimination Method use karain gay.
Aur main isko Elimination of Choices by using Initial Conditions solve karon ga.
Is method main hum bari bari kar k aik aik initial condition pakrain gay aur usay tamam options
par apply karain gay. Jo rule kisi b option par satisfy nahein hoga wo choice hum eliminate kar
dain gay. Is tara end par hamaray pas sirf aik he option bachay ge jis par tamam rules apply hon
gay aur wohi hamara answer hoga.
Let us check Condition i:
Not Satisfied with Option A
Satisfied with Option C
Condition i k mutabiq J 1st ya 6th seat par nahein ho sakta jab k option A main J 6th seat par hai.
Is liye option A yaheen par eliminate ho jaye ge
Not Satisfied with Option C
Condition ii main bara clear likha hova hai k N, L k sath nahein bethay ga. Jab k option C main
N aur L ekathay bethay hoye hain so, option C is also eliminated.
Not Satisfied with Option B
Condition iii main likha hova hai k N aur K aik sath nahein bethain gay. Jab k option B main N
aur K ekathay bethay hoye hain so, option B is eliminated as well.
Not Satisfied with Option D
Condition iv kehti hai k O hamesha N k foran left side par aaye ga jab k option D main aisa
nahein hai. So, after testing all initial conditions on Answering options, only E is left which
satisfies all given initial conditions. So, right answer is E.
Precautionary Note: Agar choice elimination method k baad aap k paas aik say zayada
answering options aa rahi hain to iska matlab hai k aap koi chez overlook kar gaye hain. Aur
agar koi b choice nahein aa rahi to iska matlab hai k aap nay summarize kartay waqt koi
condition galat interpret kar de hai. So, be careful.
Question 2
All of the following seating arrangements, given in order from 1 to 6, are acceptable EXCEPT:
A) M, J, L, K, O, N
B) K, J, O, N, M, L
C) K, O, N, J, M, L

D) L, O, N, J, K, M
E) K, J, O, N, L, M
Explanatory Answer
Jab b aap question ko parhain to ye zaror dekhain k akhar hum say pocha kaya gaya hai. Jesa k is
question main 5 arrangements de gai hain aur pocha gaya hai k kon c arrangement thek nahein
hai. To iska matlab ye hoa k hamari de gai conditions question main de gai 4 options ko
completely satisfy karain ge aur sirf aik option aisi ho ge jis par koi na koi condition violate ho
ge.
Again ye question b Choice Elimination Method say ho jaye ga. Aur main isko b Elimination
of Choices by using Initial Conditions solve karon ga.
Let us check Condition i:
Kisi b option main J na to 1st position par hai aur na he 6th par. Iska matlab hai k pehli condition
to sab he options ko satisfy kar rai hai so now we will move towards another option.
Not Satisfied with Option E
10
Option E main N aur L ekathay bethay hain jo hamari condition ki violation hai. Question main
jo chez pochi gait hi hamain us ka answer mil gaya hai k Option E ki arrangement acceptable
nahein ho ge.
Agar aap chahain to yaheen par ye question chor kar next question ki taraf move kar saktay hain
lekin main apko suggest karon ga k aap baqi dono conditions b lazmi check kar lain ta k apko
pata chal jaye k aap nay kahein koi galiti to nahein ki.
Condition iii b pehli 4 options par fully satisfied hai.

Condition iii b pehli 4 options par fully satisfied hai. Iska matlab k hum nay question main koi
galti nahein ki hai. Sirf option E aik aisi arrangement hai jis par condition violate hoti hai so our
Answe is Option E.
Question 3
If L is in seat 1 and K is in seat 5, which of the following must be true?
A) J is in seat 2
B) M is in seat 3
11
C) N is in seat 4
D) O is in seat 4
E) M is in seat 6
Explanatory Answer
Ye question tricky hai q k is main 2 extra conditions de hoi hain. Aur main nay part 1 main
explain kiya tha k agar kisi question main koi extra condition ho to wo sirf usi question k liye
valid hoti hai aur agar extra condition kisi b initial condition k sath contradict kar rahi ho to wo
initial condition sirf is aik question k liye invalid ho ge.

nahein kar rahi. Is liye question 3 ko solve karnay k liye hum ye sari 6 ki 6 conditions ko use
karain gay.
Ab atay he sawal ki taraf to hum say MUST BE TRUE pocha gaya hai. Is question ko solve
karnay k liye hamain dekhna paray ga k de gai conditions say kitnay possible seating
arrangements ban saktay hain. All possible seating arrangements with Initial conditions and
Extra conditions are given below,
According to extra conditions, L 1st seat par hoga aur K 5th seat par hoga.
12
Ab Initial condition i ko dekhain to hamain ye zaror pata chalta hai k J 1st ya 6th par nahein aaye
ga. To iska matlab J 2nd, 3rd, 4th ya 5th par aaye ga. Lekin 5th par to K aa chukka hai to it means J
ab 2nd, 3rd ya 4th par aaye ga lekin clear nahein hai k kis par aaye ga. Is liye waqt tor par hum is
condition ko chor kar agay move karain gay.
Ab initial condition ii kehti hai N aur L ekathay nahein aa saktay isi tara initial condition iii kehti
hai k N aur K ekathay nahein aa saktay. Yahan say ye pata chalta hai k hum N ko 2nd, 4th aur 6th
seat par nahein bitha saktay to phir sirf 3rd seat he bachti hai jahan N beth sakta hai. So,
1
Initial condition iv k hisaab say O hamesha N k left main hona chahiye, so,

Main aap sab k positive feedback ka shukar guzaar hon. Aur isi feedback ki waja say likhta jar
aha hon. Part 3 main hum nay dekha tha k Analytical Reasoning k questions ki kitni categories
ho sakti hain. Aur un main say hum nay pehli 2 categories ko aik example lay kar explain b kiya
tha. In part 4 main mazeed agli aik category ki aik example ko solve karon gay. So, is part main
main nay ye discuss kiya hai.
Suitable Selection Analytical Problems with solved example
Part 5 main main baqi tamam categories ko discuss karon ga. Lekin agay barhnay say pehlay
main apko batana chahon ga k Analytical Reasoning Problems ko solve karnay k liye jo concepts
main nay part 1 aur part 2 main explain kiye hain apki un par command hona zarori hai. Q k baqi
3 parts main main nay har category k questions ko solve kiya hai aur method main nay pehlay 2
parts main say he use kiye hain. Aur agar apko pehlay 2 parts clear hain to believe me you can
almost solve any kind of Analytical Reasoning Problem, but, with one condition aur wo hai
PRACTICE. With practice aap is section main maximum score kar saktay hain.

Pehlay main zara apko remind karva don k kal jo main nay different categories k name apko
bataye thay wo ye thay.
1. Straight Order
2. Scattered Order
7. Matrix Problems
Aaj hum in may say category number 3 ko discuss karain gay.
3) Suitable Selections
Suitable Selection category k questions main normally 2 ya 3 set diye hotay hain jin k darmayan
hamain de gai conditions k hisab say selection karni hoti hai. Yani hamain aik baray group main
say selection karni hoti hai. Normally in questions main is tara ki statements hoti hain.
To form a committee of 6 people you will choose people from the group of teachers,
students and parents
To make a dish you have to choose ingredients from 2 combinations
To make a football team you have to choose players from 3 different clubs etc . . .
Personally mujay is category k question sab say zayada tricky lagtay hain q k jab aap nay aik
combination bananay k liye 3 groups main say selection karni hoti hai to aik choti c mistake say
apka sara question galat ho jata hai aur apka dher sara time zaya ho jata hai. Aur ye sab say
zayada time taking problems hotay hain. Lekin iska ye matlab nahein k solve nahein hotay. Agar
ap initial condition ko thek tara interpret kar lete hain to beshak ye time consuming hai lekin phir
b solve lazmi ho jatay hain.

Now let us solve one question of Suitable Selection.
Problem Statement Suitable Selection:
The president of a college wants to make a discipline committee by choosing members from a
group of 3 faculty members P, S and R, four administrative members T, U, V and W and 3
students X, Y and Z according to conditions given below,
i)
The committee will consist of seven members only
ii)
There must be at least as many faculty members on the committee as there are
students
iii)
Number of students may be zero
iv)
P and Z cannot be selected together
v)
T is selected, If and only if U is selected
vi)
If V is selected then W will also be selected
Questions 10 to 12:
10 Which of the following must be true of the committee?
A) Number of students cannot be greater than number of Administrators
B) T & W both cannot be selected together
C) All three faculty members cannot be selected in committee
D) T & U must be selected
E) V & W must be selected
11 If exactly two faculty members and exactly two students are included in committee then
which of the following must be true?
A) Z in not selected
B) W is selected
C) X is selected
4
D) Y is selected
E) S is selected
12 If both V and Z are selected for the committee, then which of the following must be true?
A) Neither X nor W is selected
B) Neither X nor Y is selected
C) Both X and T are selected
D) Both Y and U are selected
E) V & X or V & Y is selected
Solution
Main nay kaha tha na k ye question bohat tricky hotay hain a bap nay b dekh liya hoga k 3
different groups day diye hain aur un main say hum nay suitable selection karni hai. Ab zara
pehlay hum initial conditions ko summarize kar lete hain
i)
No. of Members in Committee = 7
Teno groups ko members ko mila kar total 10 members bantay hain jin main say pehli condition
k mutabiq hum sirf 7 log select kar saktay hain.
ii)
No. of Faculty Member No. of Students
Yani committee main kam az kam itnay faculty member lazmi hon gay jitney student hai. Aur
Faculty member student say zayada b ho saktay hain.
iii)
No. of students 0
Is condition main kaha gaya tha k student MAY BE ZERO. Yani zero ho saktay hain lekin iska
ye hargiz matlab nahein hai k zero he hon gay.
iv)
PZ
Yani P aur Z ekathay kaam nahein kar saktay

v)
TU
If and only if ka matlab hai k agar T hoga to U b hoga aur agar U hoga to T be hoga. Yani dono
ekathay he select hon gay
vi)
VW
Ab main zara in tamam initial conditions ki representation ko aik he jaga par ekatha likh deta
hon
i)
No. of Members in Committee = 7
ii)
No. of Faculty Member No. of Students
iii)
No. of students 0
iv)
PZ
v)
TU
vi)
VW
Ab hum ye dekhain gay k kaya hum initial conditions ko use kartay hoye further conclusions
nikaal saktay hain ya nahein. Kher muj say to koi further conclusion nahein nikla. But again it
doesnt mean k koi b nahein nikal saktay . . .

C) All three faculty members cannot be selected in committee
D) T & U must be selected
6
E) V & W must be selected

Explanatory Answer
MUST BE TRUE wala question so you know very well that what we are looking for.
Option A: True, q k as per initial condition no iv, P aur Z kabi ekathay nahein aa saktay aur phir
as per initial condition no. ii, committee main kam az kam itnay faculty members to honay
chahiye jitney students hon. Is logic say committee main maximum 2 student select kiye ja
saktay hain. Aur 2 students hain to phir faculty member kam az kam aur zayada say zayada 3
hon gay. Aur q k total group members 7 hain to administrators b kam say kam 2 aur zayada say
zayada 3 hon gay. To ye confirm hai k number of student zayda ho he nahein saktay number of
administrative say.
Option B: May be, T aur W ki koi initial condition nahein de gai hai so ye dono ho b saktay hain
aur nahein b
Option C: May be, Again 3 faculty b ho saktay hain aur 2 say b group ban sakta hai.
Option D: False, Dono ko select kiye bagair b group create ho sakta hai
Option E: False, Dono ko select kiye bagair b group create ho sakta hai.
So, the correct answer is Option A

Extra condition say ye pata chalta hai k group main 2 faculty members aur 2 student hon gay.
Iska matlab hai k baqi 3 log Administration main say hon gay. Again question Must be True ka
hai. Now let us check our options
Option A: May be, q k sirf 2 students lene hain to Z ko liya b ja sakta hai aur nahein b.
Option B: True, hamain extra condition say pata chalta hai k Administration say 3 log hon gay.
To T & U dono lazmi ayein gay. Aur V ko hum nahein lay saktay q k V liye to W b lena paray
ga aur 3 sy zayada hum lay nahein saktay. Lekin agar hum W lain to as per initial condition no.
iv V ko lena lazmi nahein hai so 3rd Administrator will always be W.
Option C: May be, q k sirf 2 students lene hain to X ko liya b ja sakta hai aur nahein b.
Option D: May be, again sirf 2 students lene hain to Y ko liya b ja sakta hai aur nahein b.
Option E: May be, q k sirf 2 Faculty Member lene hain to S ko liya b ja sakta hai aur nahein b.

them to locations where they can be distributed. He drives only along a certain network of roads.
In the network there are two-way roads connecting each of the following pairs of points: A with
B, A with C, A with E, B with F, C with G, E with F, and F with G. There are also one-way
roads going from B to D, from C to B, and from D to C. There are no other roads in the network,
and the roads in the network do not intersect. To make a trip involving pickups and deliveries,
the boy always takes a route that for the whole trip passes through the fewest of the points A
through G, counting a point twice if he boy passes through it twice. The boy's house is at point
C. Aids can be picked up at a General Store at point A, a garmenting store at point E, and a

Jab b family tree banana ho to ye zarori nahein hota k sirf un ko show kiya jaye jin j name hain.
Hamain puri Husband Wife ki theory ko follow karna parta hai. Jis ka pata ho k kon hai usay
label kar dete hain aur agar kisi ka na pata ho to usay blank chor dete hain.
Ab statement thori mazeed parh kar dekhtay hain.
Nasir is Parveens nephew by blood and Vickys grandson
Ab yahan say ye pata chalta hai k Parveen Nasir ki Phupho yani Bira k husband ki behan hai aur
Vicky Nasir ka Dada hai ya Nana abi ye clear nahein hai. Lekin sawal ye paida hota hai k ye
kese pata chala k Parveen Nasir ki phupho hai Khala nahein to jawab bara simple hai k Bira to
apnay maa baap ki akloti beti hai us ka koi behan bhai nahein hai.

Ab hum baqi information lay kar apna family tree complete kartay hain.
Vicky and his wife had only two children Fahad and his sister plus four grandchildren (Two
boys and Two girls). Warda is Saminas grandmother
Ab yahan say ye sabat ho gaya k gaya k Vicky Nasir ka dada hai q k Bira to akloti hai jab k
Vicky k 2 bachay hain Parveen aur Fahad. Iska ye b matlab hai k Fahad Bira ka husband hai.
Aik aur chez clear hoti hai k Vicky k 2 potay 2 potiyan hain. 2 to Fahad k through hain iska
matlab baqi 2 Parveen k through hain.
Lekin aik chez abi b unclear hai wo hai Warda. Us k baray main hum ye clear nahein keh saktay
k wo Samina ki Dadi hai ya Nani.
