UNIT III — Numerical & Reasoning Ability

20 Marks

PYQ Analysis Number Series (3Q) · Coding-Decoding (2Q) · Blood Relations (2Q) · Direction Sense (1Q) · Percentage / Profit-Loss (3Q) · Ratio-Proportion (2Q) · Average (2Q) · Time-Work (2Q) · Simplification (2Q)

Reasoning — Quick Notes

• Number Series: Look for differences of differences, or ratio patterns (+n, xn, squared gaps)
• Letter Series: Assign A=1, Z=26. Find positional skip pattern.
• Coding-Decoding: Each letter shifts +n or -n positions in alphabet
• Blood Relations: Always draw a family tree first before answering
• Direction Sense: Draw compass. Sunrise = East. Sunset = West.
• Odd One Out: Category mismatch — shape, property, usage group
• Analogy: Identify relation (Tool:User, Place:Product, Animal:Young)

Key Formulas

Profit % = (SP - CP) / CP x 100

Loss % = (CP - SP) / CP x 100

SP (Profit) = CP x (100 + P%) / 100

Average = Sum of items / Number of items

Time & Work: 1/A + 1/B = 1/Total days

Speed = Distance / Time

SI = P x R x T / 100

CI = P [ (1 + R/100)^T - 1 ]

PYQ Number Series — From 2024 Paper (Memorise These Patterns) Series 1: 336, 272, 321, 286, 310, 294 — wrong number is 286 (alternating square-gap pattern: -64, +49, -35, +24...)  |  Series 2: 234, 117, 351, 87.75, 438.75, 73.125 — pattern is divide by 2, multiply by 3, divide by 4, multiply by 5, divide by 6.
