IBPS Exam detailed Pattern
1. Reasoning: The reasoning evaluates the candidate’s ability to think and answer. It includes the graphical questions as well as general brain teasing problems that require logical understanding, comparison skills, and an above-average knowledge in English language.
Night is the considered as opposite to the Day so the related answer is Cruel.
The graphical reasoning questions will be asked with problem and answer figures, and they are of three types; Analogies, Classification and Series. Analogy is defined as a logical judgment based on the fact that if objects agree in some respect they probably agree in others. Have a look at the images for a better understanding.
Much easy to identify the answer as 5 since in the problem figure the second square is darkened towards the right half.
Graphical reasoning in Classification includes problem and answer figures in on single image.
Here each object in the image is equally divided at the center by half expect for the 4th one in which on one side forms a triangle. So the answer we get from the classification is 4.
Similar to Analogies the Series set in the Graphical reasoning will have separate problem and answer figures. As the name says here you will see a serial arrangement of something from which you have to find the
answer.
Just analyze the progression of White and Black dots in the problem figure while moving from the first hexagon to the last one. When the White dot moves in the clockwise direction, a Black dot is being added to hexagon in anticlockwise. Now check the answer figure to find what happens if the White dot makes the 5th move? The answer is 3.
