ANALYTICAL ABILITY
1. Data Sufficiency:- A question is given followed by data in the form of two statements
labeled as I and II. If the data given in I alone is sufficient to answer the question then
choice (1) is the correct answer. If the data given in II alone is sufficient to answer the
question, then choice (2) is the correct answer. If both I and II put together are sufficient to
answer the question by neither statement alone is sufficient, then Choice (3) is the correct
answer. If both I and II put together are not sufficient to answer the question and
additional data is needed, then choice (4) is the correct answer.
2. Sequences and Series: Analogies of numbers and alphabets completion of blank
spaces following the pattern in A: b:: C:d relationship odd thing out; Missing number in
a sequence or a series.
3. Data Analysis: The data given in a Table, Graph, Bar Diagram, Pie Chart, Venn diagram
or a passage is to be analyzed and the questions pertaining to the data are to be answered.
4. Coding and Decoding Problems: A code pattern of English Alphabet is given. A given
word or a group of letters are to be coded and decoded based on the given code or codes.
5. Date, Time and Arrangement Problems: Calendar problems, Clock Problems, Blood
Relationship, Arrivals, Departures and Schedules; Seating Arrangements, Symbol and
Notation Interpretation.
