Topics Under Logical Reasoning

Reasoning, mildly put can turn out to be your golden goose. You can either score heavily or waste a lot of time and still score less. This section rewards your hard work and training. The more you have prepared, the better you score. Always remember the sequencing of alphabets i.e. which alphabet comes after / before the particular alphabet and you should also remember their numerical position as per 1 to 26. You should make sure you practice each and every concept thoroughly and try not to rush through the topics
