Logical & Critical Reasoning

Logical and Critical Reasoning includes statement-conclusion, assumptions, arguments, course of action, cause and effect, and inference-based questions that test structured thinking rather than direct formulas.

Critical reasoning is important because it measures judgment, relevance, and logical strength. It is especially useful in mains-style reasoning where options are close and superficial reading causes mistakes.

Puzzle solving is usually structure and arrangement based, while critical reasoning is idea and argument based. The first depends on setup logic, and the second depends on analysing statements carefully.

Learn the definition of each question type, practice identifying conclusions versus assumptions, and read options for logical strength instead of emotional appeal. Slow accuracy first, then speed.
