Preface

Every great structure was once a blueprint. Every aspirant was once confused and most importantly , it is not necessary to
think where you are today, it is important to realise where you want to see yourself in the future.
A small story that touched my heart, which is mentioned in the book “you can win !” - by Shiv Khera is the story of
a balloon man . “There was a man who made his living by selling balloons at fairs. He had balloons of all colours including
Red, Yellow, Blue, and Green. Whenever the business was slow, he would release a helium filled balloon into the air and
when the children saw it go up, all wanted to buy one and his sales would go up again. He continued this process the entire
day. One day he felt some one tugging at his jacket. He turned around and found a little boy who asked, “If you release a
black balloon, would that also fly ?” The man replied with empathy, “Son it is not the colour of balloon, it is what is inside
that makes it go up. “
It is what is “inside” that matter. The same thing applies to our lives. The thing inside of us makes us go up.
The path to competitive exams is full of ups and downs. Your motivation and attitude will help you to find a way and
fulfil your dreams.
As we all are aware, LOGICAL REASONING is one of the important sections that we are required to prepare for
BANKING, RAILWAYS, all SSC Exams, GATE, IAS, CAT, MAT, CMAT, Defence exams like AFCAT, DRDO, LIC exams
etc. The book has 2 parts - Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning as it is asked by these names in the various examinations
mentioned above.
This is the only section where students generally feel confident. But to excel, a lot of practice is needed. This book has
been designed is such a way so that an aspirant not only clears the concept but can also tackle any kind of question that they
come across, be it from the previous years or recent years.
Each chapter of this book contains theory with Solved Examples. The chapter's Exercise part has been sub-divided into
four sections on the basis of the difficulty level of the questions, i.e.
• Concept Applicator : Easy
• Concept Builder : Easy-Moderate
• Concept Cracker : Moderate
• Concept Deviator : Difficult
The exercise in the book contains previous year’s questions of the various exams.
At the end of the 29 chapters, a Miscellaneous Question Bank is provided. It contains around 500+ Quality Questions
that will provide enhanced practice, much needed to crack this section, to the students.
The book also provides 8 Speed Practice Sets, along with detailed solutions, will help the aspirants to understand the
new pattern of the examination as well as to understand the importance of time management.
In writing this book the most distinctive contribution has been of Mr. Deepak Agrawal, Director of Disha publication,
who guided us time and again. He motivated us during various stageof preparation of the book.
