Logical Reasoning consists of different types of questions that mainly gauge the candidates\u2019 abilities on logical reasoning and mathematics. So, whether you are a fresher or a student preparing to crack your exams and job interviews, you should know the popular types of Logical Reasoning Questions that you may be asked at any stage of your career.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s start your preparation by understanding and solving some of these handpicked\u00a0logical reasoning questions with explanations. The important types of categories covered in this article include a mix of Letter Series Logical Problems, Analogies, Symbol Series, and Analyzing Arguments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Letter Series &#8211; Logical Reasoning Questions and Answers Samples<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Letter Series questions mainly work on a logic of a series of small letters, which follow a specific pattern. Candidates are asked to identify the missing letters in the set.<\/p>\n<p>Example of Letter Series Logical Reasoning MCQs:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"1\">\n<li><strong>QPO, NML, KJI, _____, EDC<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol>\n<li>HGF<\/li>\n<li>CAB<\/li>\n<li>JKM<\/li>\n<li>GHD<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Answer: Option 1<\/p>\n<p>Explanation: The series includes letters arranged in a reverse alphabetical order.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>ATNHG, DKCMB, CVPJI, GNFPE, EXRLK, JQISH, GZTNM, __<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol>\n<li>MTLVK<\/li>\n<li>PQMTH<\/li>\n<li>RIJTU<\/li>\n<li>HSKUJ<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Answer: Option 1<\/p>\n<p>Explanation: In this series, alternate groups form different series.<\/p>\n<p>Pattern for 1<sup>st<\/sup> letter: A<sup>+2<\/sup>, C<sup>+2<\/sup>, E<sup>+2<\/sup>, G<\/p>\n<p>Pattern for 2<sup>nd<\/sup> letter: T<sup>+2<\/sup>, V<sup>+2<\/sup>, X<sup>+2<\/sup>, Z<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, pattern for 5<sup>th<\/sup> letter: B<sup>+3<\/sup>, E<sup>+3<\/sup>, H<sup>+3<\/sup>, K<\/p>\n<p>So, the next group in the series will be MTLVK.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>DEF, DEF<\/strong><strong><sub>2,\u00a0<\/sub><\/strong><strong>DE<\/strong><strong><sub>2<\/sub><\/strong><strong>F<\/strong><strong><sub>2,\u00a0<\/sub><\/strong><strong>_____, D<\/strong><strong><sub>2<\/sub><\/strong><strong>E<\/strong><strong><sub>2<\/sub><\/strong><strong>F<\/strong><strong><sub>3<\/sub><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol>\n<li>DEF<sub>3<\/sub><\/li>\n<li>D<sub>3<\/sub>EF<sub>3<\/sub><\/li>\n<li>D<sub>2<\/sub>E<sub>3<\/sub>F<\/li>\n<li>D<sub>2<\/sub>E<sub>2<\/sub>F<sub>2<\/sub><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Answer: Option 4<\/p>\n<p>Explanation: In this series, the letters remain the same, i.e. DEF.
