Logic and Reasoning

Thinking Like a Detective

Logic and reasoning questions test your ability to use clues to solve problems. These often include puzzles, matching, or figuring out sequences.

Types of Logic Problems

  • Deductive Reasoning: Using facts to reach a conclusion.
  • Elimination: Ruling out impossible answers.

How to Approach

  • Read carefully and underline key facts.
  • Make a chart or table to organize information.
  • Eliminate choices that don’t fit the clues.

Real-World Connection

Logic is used when figuring out who won a game, solving riddles, or making decisions!

Examples

  • If Sam is older than Alex, and Alex is older than Jamie, who is the youngest? (Jamie)

  • Three friends have different pets. If Lisa doesn’t have a cat or a dog, what pet does she have? (A bird, if those are the options)

In a Nutshell

Logic helps you solve tricky puzzles and make sense of complicated information.
