Reasoning
(Problem Solving, Coding-Decoding and Date, Time and Arrangement)
There were 40 questions based on Reasoning in section A. The questions based on Series, Analogies and Odd man out were very much on the expected lines and usual patterns. Though one or two questions were time consuming, overall this was a scoring part of Reasoning. Barring the exception that the directions of coding-decoding were slightly different, every other aspect of the set based 10 questions on coding-decoding was regular and usual. The test takers who had practised the regular models of coding well, would have found the going very easy. Then comes the last part of reasoning i.e., individual questions. Here the questions on topics related to clocks and calendars were very direct but the questions on topics related to seating arrangement needed a little bit of effort as they were time consuming. Overall, the section was easy and for all the aspirants who had good basics and the right practice are likely to score very well in this part. There were five questions from Maths topics like sets, equations, ages in this section.
