Arithmetic Reasoning: Key Concepts, Solved Examples, & Prep
Tips
2020/11/25,
Arithmetic Reasoning tests the mathematical knowledge of a candidate. Questions that are based on arithmetic
reasoning are usually numerical in nature, so they contain calculation parts in many cases. Candidates who don’t
like mathematics will find this reasoning section unfavourable for them, but with clear concept and practise they
can easily ace this section. Some of the topies under arithmetic reasoning are Puzzle, Analogy, Series, Venn
Diagram, Cube and Dice, Inequality and so on.
In this article, we are going to cover the key concepts of Arithmetic Reasoning along with the various types of it,
solved examples, practice questions and the tips and tricks to solve the questions related to this type of reasoning.
Read the article thoroughly to clear all the doubts regarding the same,
What is Arithmetic Reasoning?
As mentioned above, Arithmetic Reasoning is all about solving logical reasoning questions by performing various
mathematical operations.Some of the important chapters under arithmetic reasoning are Puzzle, Analogy, Series,
Venn Diagram, Cube and Dice, Inequality and so on. Let us now understand various types of arithmetic reasoning
from below.
Types of Arithmetic Reasoning
Let us see the various types of questions that may come in the Arithmetic Reasoning section one by one from
below.
1. Puzzle
In this type of arithmetic reasoning, candidates need to analyze the given piece of information, pick the
information that is important, and leave out the information that is not required in solving the given set of
questions.
2. Analogy
In this type of arithmetic reasoning, candidates will need to find a word or paid words analogous to those given in
the question.
3. SeriesIn this type of arithmetic reasoning, Candidates need to find the missing or wrong number in the provided series.
‘There may be some questions where one of the terms in the given series will be incorrect, and candidates need to
find out that term of the series by identifying the pattern involved in the formation of the series.
4. Inequality
In this type of arithmetic reasoning, candidates must know about various signs, which are used in such types of
questions, The same is given below:
ADB Ais greater than B
A
