Answers & Solutions:

1) Answer (C)

The given statement indicates that to increase the productivity, continuous training is essential for employees. Thus, assumption I is implicit. Also, statement II is implicit as profitability & productivity are supplementary to each other. It depends upon other factors also.

Thus, both assumption I and II are implicit.

=> Ans – (C)

2) Answer (D)

The statement indicates that Delhi metro is a convenient and economical means of transport. Assumption I is not implicit as there are also other modes of transport available. Assumption II is implicit as metro services are good.

=> Ans – (D)

3) Answer (A)

The given statement indicates about the heavy traffic and that it should be controlled, hence only assumption I is implicit. Regulation of traffic is required to ensure smooth traffic. We cannot assume the plans of previous engineers.

=> Ans – (A)

4) Answer (E)

5) Answer (B)

The given statement indicates that James works in a factory and gets a salary for that. It does not mention anything about his like or dislike about his job.

Thus, only possible conclusion is that James gets paid for his work.

=> Ans – (B)

6) Answer (C)

The given statements indicate that the principal will address the students at 10 a.m. and the students are requested to take their seats before 10 a.m. This does not mean that the function will not start if the students are not on their seat, hence first assumption is not implicit. Also, it is not mandatory that the function will begin as per its original schedule.

Thus, neither I nor II is implicit.

7) Answer (D)

The given statement indicates that a regular polygon is the one which has equal sides and equal angles. Also, a square is a regular polygon. This means that a square must have equal sides and equal angles as concluded above.

Thus, conclusions I & II both follows.

8) Answer (D)

All Hindus are God fearing does not imply that all God fearing are Hindus, thus second conclusion is definitely false.

Also, no Japanese is a Hindu does not imply the the Japanese are not God fearing.

Thus, neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows.

9) Answer (A)

The statement clearly indicates that people should work hard to achieve economic development, thus both of them are directly related, hence first conclusion definitely follows. But, there is no information about whether all people can work hard or not in the givens statement, hence it does not follow.

Thus, only I follows

10) Answer (A)

The venn diagram of the above statements is :

critical thinking questions ssc

I: Ajay is not a donkey = true

II: All man are not Ajay = may or may not be true (when Ajay and man coincides)

Thus, only conclusion I follows

11) Answer (C)

The two statements infer that everyone should practise Ahimsa, but neither do they indicate its meaning and nor do they provide information about global harmony.

Thus, neither conclusion I nor II follows.

12) Answer (A)

If India is allocating lots of funds to education, then quality of education will definitely improve in the country, thus conclusion I follows.

From the second conclusion, we cannot conclude that funding alone can help to enhance conclusion.

Thus, only Conclusion I follows

13) Answer (A)

The statement indicates that, if people are intelligent, then they should be creative. So, intelligence and creativity are related with each other.

But it does not mean the reverse that creative people are intelligent.

Thus, only conclusion I follows.

14) Answer (D)

The given statement clearly implies that all irregular and some regular students fail in the examinations. This, in turn, means that all successful students are regular but not all regular students are successful.

Thus, neither I nor II follows.

15) Answer (D)

Whether the administration of Orissa is sensitive or not, it does not determine the underdeveloped condition of Orissa. Similarly, the will statements do not conclude that it is the will of God.

Thus, neither I and II follows.

SSC CGL Prelims Reasoning Question Paper 2020

SSC CGL refers to ‘Staff Selection Commission Combined Graduate Level,’ and ‘Reasoning’ is one of the most critical yet scoring topics asked in the SSC CGL exams. Reasoning is the section that analyses your logical thinking abilities, problem-solving and decision-making skills. However, one cannot master reasoning by the book learning method, and it requires constant and consistent practice. 

Following are a few important questions asked in the SSC CGL Prelims exams from this section: 

Q1. Four letter clusters have been given, wherein three are alike in some manner while one is different. Choose the odd one:

(a) ACXZ (b) MIRN (c) DXWC (d) BFUY

critical thinking questions ssc

Solution: Option – (c) ; Sum of the place value of first & last letters is (1+26=) 27 and sum of the place value of the middle (second & third) letters is (3+24=) 27. Except option – (c), all follow the above pattern.

Q2. Select the option in which the words share the same relationship as shared by the given pair of words: Gujarat: Gandhi Nagar

(a) Rajasthan: Ajmer (b) Karnataka: Bengaluru (c) Uttar Pradesh: Noida (d) Madhya Pradesh: Gwalior 

Solution: Option – (b) ; Gandhi Nagar is the capital of Gujarat. Similarly, Bengaluru is the capital of Karnataka. All other options do not follow.

Q3. Select the option that is related to the third term in the same way as the second term is related to the first term? 6 : 222 ∷ 8 : 

(a) 512 (b) 520 (c) 418 (d) 518

Solution: Option – (b) 6^3 + 6 = 222 8^3 + 8 = 520

Q4. Select the option that is related to the fifth number in the same way as the second number is related to the first number and the fourth number is related to the third number? 26 : 35 : : 50 : 63 : : 82 : ?

(a) 101 (b) 100 (c) 121 (d) 99

Solution: Option – (d) 5^2 + 1 = 26 : 6^2 – 1 = 35 7^2 + 1 = 50 : 8^2 – 1 = 63 9^2 + 1 = 82 : 10^2 – 1 = 99

critical thinking questions ssc

  • Improve your logical skills : As this section test candidates’ ability to think and problem solving skills, therefore it is required by the students to sharpen their logical and analytical skills.
  • Command over concepts : Both Verbal and Non-Verbal Types of Concepts should be focused on by the candidates. The understanding of Directions should be accurate, i.e., identifying which direction is West, North, East, and South. Series is the most important topic, but it is also very difficult to master.
  • Practice Previous Year Question Papers : Try to practice as much previous paper as you can. But don’t forget to follow the current structure of the exam, as the exam pattern keeps on changing from time to time.  
  • Build a Proper Study Plan : Follow a proper strategy and a time table for all the sections of the question paper.
  • Don’t make unnecessary assumptions: Always Remember that the given question will be solved by the data given only, don’t make unnecessary assumptions or judgment while solving the problem. Use smart and appropriate tricks and methods for solving any problem.

Things to keep in mind while preparing for General Intelligence and Reasoning Section - SSC CGL 2019-20 Exam

  • Regular Practice : Make a habit of practicing previous year papers and mock tests every day to improve your speed and accuracy. Solve previous year papers as there are many questions that are repeated.
  • Practice Important Topics: Students can look into the chapter-wise analysis mentioned above and focus on the important topics first.
  • Focus on your weak areas: First, try to focus on your weak areas and spend more time improving them. Devote more time to your weak areas and less time to your strong areas.
  • Read the complete question first: Students are required to avoid the mistake of reading incomplete questions and arriving at incorrect answers eventually. Read the questions carefully and check what is being asked.
  • Remember Alphabetical Order : Always remember the sequencing of alphabets i.e. which alphabet comes after/before the particular alphabet and you should also remember their numerical position as per 1 to 26.
  • Time Management : Give more time to sections that you are stronger in. This will ensure that you can effectively use the time duration of the exam. Remember that there are no sectional time limits and no sectional cut-offs. So your job is to simply maximize your score however you can.
