OR
………………………………………………EB
From (IV): E G forFG e
For (V): ……………………………D…………………………. South
Let us start with the arrangement obtained form condition (v).
1234567T
Now, from (ii), we get that C will occupy seat 6. From (iii). B and E will occupy seats 1 and 2,
respectively. From (iv), G and F will occupy 3 and 4 and finally the last seat 7 will be occupied
by the remaining person A. From the above reasoning, we get the following final arrangement.
B E G F D C A East
1.4 G is sitting to the right of E.

2.1 A and B are sitting at the extreme ends.
3.3 G is sitting 3, d form the North end.
4.4 D is sitting between C and F.
5.4 All are required.

10. Between which of the two persons is F sitting?
A. C–D
B. C–A
C. D–A
D. C–B
Solutions for questions 6 to 10:

Start with any fixed position. Statement I does not give any fixed position since the order could
be A-C-F or F-C-A. Starting with ii, we will have the positions of and E. Now, C has to be in
between A and F in such an order that D is two places to the right of F. The order in the
clockwise direction has to be F-C-A, else A will fall 2 places to the right of F.
Thus, we have the arrangement as shown below.

6.2 D is sitting between E and B
7.4 B is sitting opposite A.
8.1 C is to the immediate right of A.
9.4 F is sitting opposite E.
10.4 F is sitting between C and B.

B. Engineer
C. Lawyer
D. CA
21. Which instrument can the Doctor learn from the Architect?
A. Flute
B. Sitar
C. Tabla
D. Sarod
Solution:
Let us represent the three groups in a table. By taking the group of gentlemen as the base,
because most of the information given is with regard the gentlemen, we will try filling in the
other details/ elements of the other two groups in the table, as shown below.
Form ii, we get the combination Ajay-Doctor-Sarod.
From iii, we get to know that Sitar ≠ Architects and Vinay ≠ Tabla.
From iv, (Vinay, Bijay) ≠ Architects and Vinay ≠ Tabla.
From v, Bijay = Violin.
Form vi, we get the combination Akshay – Lawyer – Flute.
Putting the above details in the table as shown below.
Gentleme Professional Instrument

n
Ajay Doctor Sarod
Bijay X Architech Violin
Vinay X Architech X Tabla
Sanjay
Akshay Lawyer Flute
Now, here we observe that neither Bijay nor Vinay is the Architect; hence the remaining
person Sanjay is the Architect. Similarly, Sanjay plays Table and hence Vinay plays Sitar.
This means that Bijay is the Engineer (from iii) and Vinay is the CA. We get the final
arrangement as shown below:
Gentlema Professional Instrument

n
Ajay Doctor Sarod
Bijay Engineer Violin
Vinay CA Sitar
Sanjay Architect Tabla
Akshay Lawyer Flute
Now, based on the above table, let us answer the questions.
17.2 Mr. Vinay plays Sitar.
18.4 Mr. Bijay is the Engineer.
19.4 Mr. Ajay is the Architect.
20.4 Mr. Vinay is the CA.
21.3 The Doctor can learn Table form in Architect
4. Comparisons:
In such kind of problems, some elements are compared with each other in terms of
measurable (like height, weight, speed, size marks, etc.) Let us have a look at the following
example.
22. Among five boys, Vasant is taller the Manohar, But not as tall as Raju. Jayant I taller
than Dutta, But shorter than Manoha who is the tallest in the group?
A. Raju
B. Manohar
C. Vasant
D. Can’t be determine
Solution:
Arranging the given information, we get Raj>Vasant>Manohar>Jayant>Dutta so, Raju is the
tallest.
5. Selections:
In these problems, some teams are made form the given people in accordance with the
conditions. The most common statement are: 1. A and B are in the same team. 2. And B
cannot be in the same team.3. A and B are in different teams. Let us look at following
example.
23. Two teams of three members each have to be selected form among six persons – P, Q,
R, S, T and U, P and R cannot be in the same team. Q and S must be in the same team.
R and T cannot be in the same team. Which of the following must be one of the two
teams selected?
A. P, T and U
B. P, Q and T
C. P, S and R
D. Q, R and T
Solution:
As P and R can not be in the same team and R and T cannot be in the same team, R must
be with Q and S. Hence, the other team is P, T and U.
6. Series-Based
In these kind of problems, you’ll see a series consisting of numbers, letters or symbols
as the elements. Any one of these is selected and the following type of questions is
posed.
I. How many X and are such that each is immediately preceded by Y but not
immediately followed with Z?
II. How many X and are such that each is immediately preceded by Y but not
III. How many X and are such that each is immediately preceded by Y but immediately
followed with Z?
IV. How many X are such that each is neither immediately preceded by Y nor
Let us look at the following example.

24. How many 6’s are there in the following series of numbers which are preceded by 7 but
not immediately followed by 9.
A. One
B. Two
C. Three

Solution
All the 6’s that satisfy the given condition are underlined in the series
6795697687678694677695ZJ3 so, in above series, 3 times, 6’s are preceded by 7 but
not immediately followed by 9.
7. Ranking:
Here, a student may have a rank from the top or bottom of the result ranking list. The
following generalization can be used solving such questions.
T = RT + RB-1
Where
T Total number of student in the class.
RT Rank from the top of the ranking list.
RBRanking from the bottom of the ranking list.
Let us look at the following example for better clarity.
25. In a class, Krishna is ranked 8 th from the bottom. How many students are there in his
class?
A.56
B.55
C.57

For Questions 1 to 5:
From (i) and (ii):
-------------------- North
Form (iii):
Alok Jeyesh
Form (iv): (a) BhagatPramodSobodh OR (b) SoubodhPramodBhagat
Form (v): (a) JayeshSubodhPramod OR (b) PramodSubodhJayesh
Let us start with the arrangement obtained from condition (iii). AlokJayesh
Hence, (v) (a) Can’t be possible
From the above reasoning, we get the following final arrangement.
1.1 Alok is at the extreme left end.
2.4 Subodh is in the middle

3.1 All statements are necessary
4.4 Bhagat stands between Alok and Pramod.
5.4 As Sukhdev stands the extreme right end, he has only one 21 eithbor, Bhagat,
For questions 6 to 10:
----------------

From (ii):
C __ D F
From (iii): E/1 2 A/1
From (iv) (v): (a) A J B I G O R (b) B J A I G
Let us start with the arrangement obtained from condition (iii).
E / 1 2 A/ 1
Hence, (v) (b) Can’t be possible.
Form (iii), (iv) and (v) (a), we get the following arrangement.
Now, from (i), we get that C will occupy seat 8. Hence, we will get the following arrangement.
- - - - - - -- - - - -------- - -- - - -
So, H can occupy either seat 2 or seat 9. Also, K can occupy seat 2 or seat 9.
6.2 I is sitting in the middle of the row.
7.3 the group of friends sitting to the right of G Could be CHDF.
8.4 None is superfluous.
9.3 B is sitting between J and I.
10.3 the new arrangement is
DFJHJBAEK
So, D and K are sitting at two ends.
S sits 3 places to the right of T and Q, 2 places to the right of T. Fix up these positions first.
Now, if R has to sit between L and S, it has to be to the right of S else Q will clash with R. We
can also get the position of M relative to R. However, the positions of N and P cannot be
determined for sure.
11.2 L sits opposite M.

12.3 S is sitting between R and Q.
13.4 Either Nor P sits opposite S..
14.4 S is Q’s neighbor.
15.1 R is to the left of L.
16.4 there are two arrangements possible.
Hence, ether C or G sites next to E.

17.4
Hence, C and G sit next to E.
18.1
B sits opposite F.
19.4 There are arrangements possible.
20.4 There are 2 arrangements possible.
In both the arrangements position G is between B and E only.

For questions 21. To 25:
Start by fixing the position of one of the persons. The best statement to start with is (iii), since
the two opposite positions are fixed simultaneously and the remaining positions can be derived
relative to these positions. There are two possible arrangements.
Using statement (ii), we get
Now, according to statement (iv) M sits 2 laces to the left of R which is not possible in
arrangement 1 as P is already present three. So, only arrangement 2 is possible. The final
arrangement is as follows:
21.4 T sits opposite P.

22.3 T sits two places to the right of S.
23.2 L is sitting between N and P.
24.3 P is L’s neighbor.
25.4 M sits opposite Q.
C is the last book. The combinations B-D and A-E in that order have to compulsorily exist. Now,
the order will have to start with B-D, since A cannot be started with (from (ii)).
1 2 3 4 5 6
B D C
If the fourth hour is the break, then the combination A-E cannot be fitted without a break in-
between.
1 2 3 4 5 6
B D X C
Again, if the fifth hour is the break, we will have the following sequence.
1 2 3 4 5 6
B D A E X C
However, this is not possible since A cannot
follow D immediately. Hence, the break has to be in the third hour and the arrangement is as
follows:
1 2 3 4 5 6
B D X A E C
26.4 3rd hour is the break.
27.3 B is the first book to be proofread.
28.2 A is to be proofread immediately after the breakfast.
29.4 None of these
30.3 C is to be proofread immediately after E.
From (i), we see that he holiday has to be between Monday and Friday (both days included).
Biology has to be done on Thursday. Since Physics cannot immediately preceded biology and
also cannot start the series, it cannot be scheduled on either Wednesday or Sunday. Also,
Physics has to done two days before Astronomy. So, Physics cannot be done on Tuesday. Else
Astronomy would clash with Biology. Therefore, Physics has to be scheduled for Sunday and
thus, Astronomy on Wednesday. Algebra has to be immediately before Geometry. The only
space available for this combination is Friday- Saturday. That leaves Chemistry. Since Sunday
cannot be free, the holiday has to be on Tuesday and Chemistry on Sunday. Therefore, we get
the following as the final table.

31.2 Chemistry will start the series of lectures.
32.2 Tuesday is the holiday.
33.1 Physics lectures is one Monday.
34.4 Geometry lecture is on Saturday.
35.2 Biology is scheduled 3 days after Physics.

The correct choices are:
36.3
37.4
38.1
40.3
Fill up all the absolutes data given. You will get the following table:
Caps Snacks
Amit Blue
Bharti Yellow
Cheryi Sandwich
Deepak
Eric Pizza
Now from (i), red cap and pastries have to be combination, can not fit in anywhere but for
Deepak it fits, since parts e other combinations have filled. That leaves us with two 5 of caps –
green and white and two snacks – ice- and burgers. For caps, Eric does not wear green cap;
tee out of the colours left, he has to wear the white cap. In, Amit does not eat ice-cream;
therefore, he has to eat burger, So, we get the following table.
Caps Snacks
Amit Blue
Bharti Yellow Ice Cream
Cheryi Green Sandwich 41.2 Amit is eating burgers.
Deepa Red Pastries 42.3 Cheryl is wearing the green cap.
k 43.2 Bharati is eating the ice-ream.
Eric White Pizza 44.4 Eric is wearing the white cap.
45.4 ‘Bharati + Burger’ is not the right
combination.
Logical Reasoning
Types of Questions:
 Main Idea
 Inference
 Assumption
 Support /Weaken
 Conclusion
 Logical Techniques
 Logical Error
Types of Question
Now that you’re familiar with the basic principles of Logical Reasoning, let’s look at he most common
types of questions. Certain question types crop up again on the GAT, and it pays to understand them
beforehand.
Main Idea
The test may ask you to identify the main idea of a passage, and it may do this in one of a number of
ways. The main idea can be expressed as
The primary point of the passage ”or” the author’s primary point.”
Most of the time, the main idea will not be directly started in the passage ; you will have to derive it. Be
careful to derive only what is most directly indicated by the passage . A jump of logic will take you
beyond the scope of the passage.
Some other way (but not all he ways) that the test may ask for the main idea questions are which of the
following best expresses the point the author is attempting to make?
The author’s argument is best expressed as………
Which of the following statements best expresses the author’s central point in the preceding passages?
In the preceding passage , the author argues that………..
Example:
Whatever else might be said about Pakistani elections, they are quite unlike those in other countries in
that Pakistanis make choices. And one choice they can make in this free country is to stay home.
What is the author’s point in the preceding passage?
A. Pakistani who do decide to vote make more choices than those who do not.
B. Pakistani elections embody many negative aspects, most of which are not embodied by
elections in other countries.
C. Choosing not to vote is a prerogative of a free citizen.
D. All citizen vote in every elections European countries.
E. Most Pakistani voters are not well informed to vote wisely.
Explanation:
The best response is C.
When you consider the choices, immediately eliminate answers that are irrelevant to the question / or the
major issue of the passage, and answers not at all addressed by the passage. You may eliminate all
choices that do not address the free choice not to vote:
A is irrelevant because it addresses the number of choices rather than the freedom of choice;
B raises issues scarcely addressed in the passage – that is, the negative aspects of elections.
D doesn’t address the issue of choosing not to vote; though it notes that all citizens in other countries
must vote, it neglects the main point that Pakistanis don’t have to;
E is irrelevant to the issue of free choice, stressing instead voter information.
The best choice is C, which addressed the major issue, free choice, and the author’s specific point: the
free choice not to vote.
Inference
This type of logical Reasoning questions asks you to determine an inference or implication in passage.
This type may be expressed more as:
Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
The author of the passage implies that……
Which of the following inferences can be most reliably drawn from the passage?
What can be validly inferred form the facts and premises expressed in the passage?
Example:
2. We doubt that the latest government report will scare Pakistanis away from beef, chicken, and
Chinese food or that it will empty out the restaurants or cause a run on natural food supplies. If a
diet were to be mandated form Islamabad, Pakistanis probably would order the exact opposite
course. Therefore, the diet that does make sense is to eat a balanced and varied diet composed of
foods form all food groups and containing a reasonable caloric intake.
Which of the following is (are) specifically implied by the passage?
I. Vitamins are necessary to combat disease.
II. A recent report warned of the risks of meat products and imported beverages.
III. Unorthodox suggestions for a more nutritional diet were recently made by the government.
A. I only
B. II only
C. III only
D. I and II only
E. II and III only
Explanation:
The best response is B.
Because the author doubts that Pakistanis will stop eating meats or visiting Bar B Queue, one must
conclude that the author is referring to he latest government report warning of the risks of meat and
Chinese food, statement II. Statement I concerning vitamins may be true but is not specifically implied
other that in a very general sense (nutrition). Statement III is not true: Nothing suggests that the
government report made unorthodox suggestions.
Assumption
In this type of questions, you must determine what assumption lies behind the author’s argument. Other
ways this type may be expressed are:
Which of the following underlies the preceding passage?
The author assumes that…
The preceding argument logically depends on which of the following assumptions?
What is the presupposition of the preceding passage?
Necessary to the preceding reasoning is the assumption that…
Example:
3. After the declaration of company election results, the elected chairperson gave his message to the
workers that, “The responsibility of the management is to serve and not to dominate the workers.”
Which of the following is one basic assumption- underlying chairperson’s statement?
A. The management is capable of dominating the workers.
B. The management chooses to serve rather than dominate the workers.
C. Domination over the workers by the management is a virtue.
D. One must be decisive when facing company union for the first time.
E. The management, preceding the company administration, had been irresponsible.
Explanation:
The best response is A.
Chairperson’s statement is not warranted unless one assumes the capability of the management to
dominate the workers.
A; that assumed capability makes the choice between serving and dominating possible and is thus a basic
assumption.
Support / Weaken:
Which one of the following, if true would most strengthen the argument?
Which one of the following, if true would most seriously damage the argument above?
Which one of the following, if true, casts the most doubt on the argument above?
which one of the following, if true, is the most serious criticism of the argument above?
Strengthen:
Which one of the following, if true would most strengthen the argument?
Which one of the following if true would provide the most support for the conclusion in the argument
above?
The argument above would be more persuasive if which one of the following was found to be true?
Example:
4. Research comparing children of cigarette-smoking parents in Karachi with children of
nonsmoking parents in Hyderabad found that children of smoking parents in Karachi have lower
test scores than do children of nonsmokers in Hyderabad. Therefore, secondhand cigarette smoke
is a cause of the lower test scores.
Which of the following, if true, would weaken the preceding conclusion?
A. Children in Karachi have lower test scores than children in Hyderabad, regardless of whether
their parents smoke or not.
B. More people smoke in Karachi than in Hyderabad.
C. Some children of nonsmoking parents in Sakkhar have good test scores.
D. Nonsmoking parents in Karachi have more children, on average, than those in most other cities.
E. Research has shown that smoking is not only unhealthy for the smoker, but for others in the
nearby vicinity.
Explanation:
Regardless of weather their parents smoke or not “Children in Karachi have lower test scores than that of
the children in Hyderabad.” Notice that if children in Karachi have lower test scores than children in
Hyderabad, regardless of whether their parents smoke or not, then the cigarette-smoking parents cannot
logically be claimed to be a cause of the lower test scores. This choice would weaken the conclusion.
Reverse Test
To test weather a stamen is necessarily assumed by an author, we can employ the Reverse Test. Simply
deny or negate the statement and see if the argument falls apart. If id does, that choice is a necessary
assumption. If, on the other hand, the argument is unaffected, the choice is wrong.
Example:
Akbar plays cricket for Govt. College Multan. Therefore, Akbar must be over 6 feet tall.
You should recognize the second sentence as the conclusion and the first sentence as the evidence for it.
Do you think? Is the argument complete? Obviously, it is not. The piece that’s missing – the unstated link
between the evidence and conclusion is the assumption, and you could probably pre-phrase this one pretty
easily:
All cricket players for Govt. College Multan are over 6 feet tall.
Is this an assumption really necessary to the argument? Let’s negate it using the Reverse test. What if it is
not true that all cricket players for Govt. College Multan are taller than 6 feet? Can we still logically
conclude that Akbar must be taller than 6 feet? No. we can’t be sure, he might be, but he also might not
be. By denying he statement, then, the argument fal.ls to pieces; it is no longer valid. That’s our
conclusive proof that the statement above is a necessary assumption of this argument.
Use the Reverse test to check quickly whichever choice seems correct.
Conclusion
This type of questions asks for the conclusion that has not yet been stated in the passage.
The following are other ways the test may present this question type:
If the preceding passage is true, then which of the following must necessarily be true?
Which of the following is the best deduction based on the preceding passage?
If the preceding passage is true, which of the following must logically follow?
From the preceding passage, which of the following can reasonably be deducted?
Based on the preceding passage, the author would conclude.
Example
5. After seven years of suggestion from environment departments, the Punjab legislature has finally,
passed an antipollution ordinance. From a reading of the language, the legislation promises to be
one of the most effective bills in the history of the province.
Which of the following can be deducted from the passage?
A. The pollution problem will be reduced in the province.
B. The pollution problem will be eliminated in the province.
C. Pollution will be reduced in the country.
D. Pollution in not now a problem in the country.
E. To reduce pollution, the legislation must now be enforced.
Explanation:
The best response is E.
You are to select the one choice that may necessarily be concluded. Although A and B are possible, they
don’t necessarily have to occur; the ordinance, after all, may not be effective despite its tough language.
Choices C and D are even more remote. But of he choices, E is the safest conclusion that can be drawn.
Logical Technique
This type of questions asks for the technique of reasoning used in the passage. For example, the passage
may use:
A conclusion without adequately supporting it
Contradiction to its original premise within the passage a generalization to prove a specific point an
analogy (a comparison) to further an argument
Here in this type, you need to identify in structural terms how the author has set up the argument.
The test may express this type in these ways:
The author of the passage used which of the following methods of persuasion?
The author makes his point primarily by…..
The author is using what line of reasoning to make the point?
In the preceding passage, the author does which of the following?
Logical Error
This type asks you to find a logical mistake in the reasoning. Pre-reading the question is effective for this
type; once you know you’re looking for an error, instead of wondering why you’re having trouble with
the reasoning, you realize that you have just discovered the flaw.
The preceding conclusion is unsound because the author…
Which of the following inconsistencies seriously undermines the author’s argument?
The reasoning in the preceding passage is flawed because ………..
Which of the following is an inherent error in logic in the preceding passage?
Parallel Line of Reasoning

Not to identify how the author structure the line of reasoning or to identify an error in reasoning, here the
test asks you to “parallel” whatever line of reasoning is presented. That is, you must select the answer
choice that has either the same method of reasoning or the same type of error as the passage.
The test may express this type in these ways:
Which of the following contains a logical flaw similar to the logical flaw in the preceding passage?
The preceding argument exhibits the same principles of inference as which of the following arguments?
Which of the following is logically most similar to the preceding argument?
Which of the following supports its conclusion in the same way as the preceding passage?
Example:
6. Because all poor are intelligent, and all black are intelligent, then all black are poor.
Which of the following parallels the reasoning in the preceding passage?
A. Because all dogs are animals, and cats are animals, then all cats are dogs.
B. All children are human beings, and some men are children, therefore, all men are human beings.
C. Some men are heavy, and some men are tall. Therefore, all tall men are heavy.
D. Some animals are dogs, and some animals are cats. Therefore, all dogs and cats are animals.
E. All cats are animals, and some animals are dogs. Therefore, some animals could be cats or dogs.
Explanation:
“All dogs are animal, and cats are animal. Therefore, all cats are dogs.”
