Let’s take a closer look at the General Intelligence & Reasoning topics mentioned in the table above for SSC CGL 2020:
1.Coding-Decoding:
Coding-Decoding is a topic that assesses a candidate’s ability to decode a code language. A word and a coded form of the word will be given in each question on this subject. Students must decode the logic behind the coding and then apply the same logic to another word to arrive at an answer in the form of a code.
2.Arrangement: Seating Arrangements questions are one of the most frequent and important types of questions in the Logical Reasoning section. Some people are arranged in a circle in this sort of query, standing or seated around a round table. Blood ties, ranking, puzzles, and direction sense are some of the other topics covered in this section.
3.Logic-based: Logic-based questions require logical reasoning and take a long time to solve. Draw Venn Diagrams to prevent misunderstanding when answering Syllogism questions.
4.Miscellaneous: The Tier-I test can include questions on topics such as clocks and calendars.
5.Non-verbal: Pictorial Analogies, Symbol Operations, Symbol Sequence, Space Visualizations, Spatial Reasoning, Numeric Patterns, Spatial Relations,Mirror Image, & Space Image are some of the topics covered in this chapter.
