In the syllogism , a question can have lots of diagrams which mean we can draw several figures by a statement but we have to draw the easiest figure first because it will enable us to solve the question in minimum time. We have four types of question in which:

All  a are b.
Some                                                              a are b.
No                                                                   a                                 are b.
Some                                                              a                                  are not                         b.

You will be given statements, from which you need to draw diagrams with easiest one. In answers, you will give conclusions if your conclusions are satisfying your statements then choose the right answer.

Logical reasoning problems with math

Logical problems are not only with reasoning but also with math. According to the exam point of view, math is the well structured and very important topic because for any job analytical intelligence is very important.

Quantitative aptitude is a subject which can help candidate score high. By using tricks, some lengthy and tricky question can be replaced by some simple and direct solutions. Check complete IBPS Quantitative aptitude syllabus topics here.

These some tricks motivate and encourage the candidate to have better grasping power as the key factor in tackling all the competition exam rather than having a deeper knowledge of mathematics, it is the way to crack the problems quickly and accurately.

Although in math there is a formula for every type of questions but some topic need logically thinking to apply this formula in correct place.

LCM of 10 and 15 is 30 that is total work
Then a take 30/10=3 unit of work
B take 30 / 15= 2 unit of work
Now days= 30/ (3+2)= 6

·         Question 4. the ratio of a present of a and  is 2:3 the present age of a is 20 years find the age of b after 5 years?

Ans.  Let the age of a is 2x and the age of b is 3x. 2x=20 , X=10
Then present age of b is 3 * x= 3*10=30 years
After 5 years, age of b = 30+5= 35 years
