Why is reasoning required?

No competitive entrance examination or recruitment test of today is devoid of a section that tests the candidate’s reasoning and logical analysis skills. In fact, in many examinations, extra weightage is given to segments that test an aspirant’s verbal and non-verbal reasoning skills. The sole reason is that – more an aspirant is adept in reasoning, the more will be his capacity to think out of the box and apply his knowledge to real-time problems. Those are the qualities that all recruiters are looking for in respective employees.

What the book offers

The revised version of ‘A New Approach To Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning’ has been divided into three comprehensive segments – Verbal Reasoning, Analytical Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning. Each segment consists of chapters and sets of question papers, covering all different patterns of questions. The Verbal Reasoning segment covers generic quizzical questions related to analogy, coding, puzzles, clocks and calendars, finding the patterns of series, clerical assessment level questions, etc. The Analytical Reasoning segment explores more real-time problems like syllogism, cause and effect of particular actions, differentiating between statements and arguments and processing them differently, arriving at correct assumptions, etc. The Non-Verbal segment deals with questions which need to be mentally imagined like analogy and classification of substances, figuring out patterns to complete figures, imagining the mirror and water image of a particular image, etc.
