In SSC exams, such as the SSC Combined Graduate Level (CGL) and SSC Combined Higher Secondary Level (CHSL), the reasoning section is designed to test a candidate’s logical and analytical skills. It often includes questions like:

• Analogies and Similarities: Candidates are asked to identify similarities or relationships between words, numbers, or objects.
• Syllogisms: Assessing a candidate’s ability to draw logical conclusions from given premises.
• Number Series and Letter Series: Candidates need to identify patterns and sequences in numerical and alphabetical series.
• Coding-Decoding: Similar to bank exams, this section tests the candidate’s ability to decode or encode information based on specific rules.
• Statement and Conclusions/Assumptions: Candidates are given statements and asked to draw conclusions or make assumptions based on them.
• Critical Thinking: Questions that evaluate a candidate’s critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
• Arrangement and Ranking: Involves arranging people or items in a particular order based on given conditions and determining their positions.
• Blood Relations: Questions related to family relationships.

Both Bank and SSC exams emphasize the importance of reasoning skills to assess a candidate’s suitability for various positions in the banking and government sectors. To perform well in the reasoning section of these exams, candidates should practice regularly, work on improving their logical thinking and problem-solving abilities, and familiarize themselves with common types of questions and their patterns.
