Place Values of Alphabets - Reasoning Shortcuts English Alphabets and their Place Values 1 A 8 H 15 O 22 V 2 B 9 I 16 P 23 W 3 C 10 J 17 Q 24 X R 25 Y Z 4 D 11 K 18 S 26 L 19 T 5 E 12 M 20 U 6 F 13 N 21 7 G 14

How to remember them in a Simple Way?

All of you easily can say the place values of first 4 (a, b, c, d) and last 3 (x, y, z) alphabets. Remember F6 key in your Keyboard. Thats it, the place value of F is 6. Have you ever Noticed the 7 in G? Check the below figure once, thats it.. G's value is 7.

so as the numbers eigHt and nIne In this way, you can make your won shortcut rules to remember the place values.

Note : My Stupid Brother (one of the moderators of this blog) made a unique technique to recall the place values. His code word is E mail Jothy. In short E JOTY ......... These represents the place values which are multiples of 5. E-5 J - 10 O - 15 T - 20 Y - 25

With the help of this list, he can recall place values of all the 26 alphabets in Seconds.

Have a look at the Mirror Images of Numbers

Note : The mirror image of number Six "6" is same as the water image of Number "9" Have a look at the Mirror Images of Alphabets

Have you noticed any special thing above? The actual alphabets and the mirror images of H, I, O and X are same (their water images too are same). Ofcourse, you may consider A and W too.. But TECHNICALLY these are not same. Have a closed look.. You can observe a slight difference between their real and mirror images. The mirror and water images of the alphabets H, I, O, N and X are same. What is the advantage of Mirror Images ? You can use this concept to solve Non Verbal Reasoning problems to track the movement of things and you also can use this concept to track the Odd Man Out in Analytical Reasoning.

Blood relations shortcut methods for Bank Exams

Cousin : Mother's or Father's Brother's or Sister's Son or Daughter (or) Parent's siblings' son or daughter (or) Uncle's or Aunt's son or daughter. Nephew : Brother's or Sister's son Niece : Brother's or Sister's daughter. Uncle : Father's or Mother's brother. Aunt : Father's or Mother's sister Father-in-Law : Spouse's father (or) Wife's or Husband's Father Mother-in-Law : Spouse's mother (or) Wife's or Husband's Mother Son-in-Law : Daughter's Husband Daughter-in-Law : Son's wife

Brother-in-Law : Spouse's brother (or) Sister's husband Sister-in-Law : Spouse's sister (or) Brother's Wife Maternal : of or related to Mother Paternal : of or related to Father Siblings : brothers or sisters Spouse : Husband or Wife Note : Cousin is a COMMON GENDER, There are NO such words Cousin Brother / Cousin Sister Generations : -2 Generation : Grand father and Grand Mother (Maternal & Paternal) -1 Generation : Mother, Father, Brother, Sister, Brother-in-Law, Sister-in-Law, Cousin +1 Generation : Son, Daughter, Son-in-Law, Daughter-in-Law, Nephew, Niece +2 Generation : Grand Sons and Grand Daughters

POINTS TO REMEMBER :

If the question is "How is A related to B". Then you must know the gender of A to answer the question Without knowing A's gender, you cannot determine the relation from A to B If a person is Uncle or Aunt to "A", A is that person's nephew (if A is Male) or niece (if A is female) Cousin is a common Gender (I mean, you can use this word for both Male and Female) Ex : A says to B, "you are the son of my grand father's only son". How is B related to A? How is A related to B? Ans : B is Brother of A.

My grand father's only son = A's father (grand father's only son means only ONE son.. No other son and no daughter also) A is either brother or sister to B A and B are siblings. B is brother to A as we know the Gender of B. But we dont know the Gender of A. So we cant say whether A is Brother or Sister to B. Lets have a look at some practice problems :

The mother of Ranbir is the only daughter of Neetu's father. How Neetu is related to Ranbir? Sister Mother Aunt Cant determine None of These Answer : Mother Explnation : Only daughter of Neetu's father = Neetu only. The mother of Ranbir is Neetu, so Neetu is the mother of Ranbir :D Amit is the son of Ajit's grand father's only daughter. How is Ajit's father related to Amit? Grand Father Uncle Father Data Inadequate None of these Answer : Father Explanation : Ajit's grand father's only daughter means Ajit's mother. Amit is the son of Ajit's mother. So, Amit and Ajit are Siblings. Ajit's father is Amith's father too

Pointing to a boy Rekha said, "He is the son of my mother-in-law's only Child". How is the boy related to Rekha? Son Grand Son Nephew

Brother Cant determined Ans : Son Explnation : My mother-in-law's only child = Rekha's mother-in-law's only child = Rekha's husband. The boy is the son of the Rekha's Husband. So obviuosly Rekha is the mother to that boy and that boy is the Son of Rekha. B is the husband of C. A is the sister of B. D is the sister of C. How is D related to B? Son Uncle Sister-in-Law Cant be determined Ans : Sister-in-Law Explnation : B is Husband and C is his Wife. A is the sister of B, so A is the Sister-in-Law of C ( Husband's sister) D is the sister of C so, D is the Sister-in-Law of B (Wife's Sister) Pointing towards a girl, a Person said, "She is the only daugher of the only son of the wife of the father-in-law of my wife". How is the girl related to the Person? Niece Daughter Sister Daughter-in-Law Cant be Determined Ans : Daughter Explnation : Father-in-Law of my wife = Father in Law of the Person's Wife = Person's Father Wife of the Father-in-law of my wife = Wife of the Person's Father = Person's Mother. Only son of Person's Mother = That Person only (because Person's parents dont have any other child) So, she is the only daughter of Person as the Person does not have any other Children.

Basics of Blood Relations Here... Coded Relations is another important topic for Bank Exams. You can easily get 5 marks with little logical thinking and concentration. It doesn't take much effort to solve these type of questions... All that you need is Concentration and lil practice to solve these type of questions

1. If 'A X B' means 'A is the Daughter of B'. 'A + B' means 'A is the husband of B' and 'A - B' means ' A is the sister of B', then what does ' M + N - P X Q' Mean? Sol :

M + N - P X Q => M is the Husband of N, N is the sister of P and P is the Daughter of Q.

N and P are sisters and the daughters of Q. Q is either mother or father of N and P. so M is Son-InLaw to Q.

Have a look at the below image for more clarifications.

Directions (2-3): Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below.

' P X Q' means 'P is Sister of Q' ' P + Q' means 'P is mother of Q' 'P - Q' means 'P is father of Q'

'P % Q' means 'P is brother of Q'

2. Which of the following represents 'A is nephew of B'? A%B-C C % B -A C X B +AX D C % B -A% D None of the Above Sol :

A is nephew of B means, A must be MALE. The symbols '-' and '%' indicate the male Gender. So, A must be followed by either '-' or '%'. So, checking of options 1 and 4 will be enough to solve this question. 1. A % B - C => A is brother of B and B is father of C. Here, A is C's paternal Uncle.

4. C % B - A % D => C is brother of B, B is father of A and A is brother of D. So here, A is son of

B.

So the answer is, 5. None of the Above

3. Which of the following represents 'W is Grand Father of H'?? W+T-H W%T-H

WX T+H W%T+H None of these Sol:

W is Grand Father of H means W must be a Male. The symbols '-' and '%' indicate the Male Gender. So, W must be followed by Either '-' or '%'. So, Obviously we have to check the options 2 and 4.

2. W % T - H => W is brother of T and T is father of H. Here, W is paternal uncle to H.

3. W % T + H => W is brother of T and T is mother of H. W is maternal uncle of H.

So the answer is, 5. None of these

Directions (4-5) : Following questions are based on the information given below.

'P X Q' means 'P is father of Q' 'P - Q' means 'P is sister of Q' 'P + Q' means 'P is mother of Q' 'P%Q' means 'P is brother of Q'

4. Which of the following represents 'J is son of F'? J%R-TX F J+R-TX F J%M-NXF Cant Say None of the above Sol:

J is son of F means J must be a Male. So, J must be followed by the symbols 'X' or '%". We have to check options 1 or 3.

1. J % R - T X F => J is brother of R, R is sister of T and T is father of F. So, J is paternal uncle of F.

3. J % M - N X F => J brother of M, M is sister of N and N is father of F. Here, J is paternal uncle of F.

5. In the expression B + D X M % N, how is M related to B? SOn

Grand Daughter Grand Son Grand Daughter or Grand Son None of the above Sol:

B + D X M % N =>B is mother of D, D is father of M and M is brother of N. M is Grand Son of B.

Classification - Reasoning The Classification is a process of dividing various objects into Groups on the basis of the properties common to them. The classification helps us to make a homogeneous group from the given heterogeneous groups. We can divide the questions on classification in two types. Those are. Classification for Meaningful Words Classifications for Non-meaningful words. Classification for Meaningful Words In this type of questions you should classify the given words according to the relation between those words. It would be very easy to classify some given words or to find the odd word out from the given alternatives. The essential trick is to find out the basis of similarity between the words. The dissimilar (odd) word, would, then stand out, itself. Classifications for Non-meaningful words. Sometimes we are given a group of letters (non-meaningful words) and we are asked to find the odd letter-group out of them.

Now lets have a look at some Example problems so that you can get the basic view of the Classification Problems. Classification for Meaningful Words Classifications for Non-meaningful words

ALPHA-NUMERIC-SYMBOL TEST (Part-I) This topic, a JUMBLED SEQUENCE of some Alphabets / Letters / Numbers / Symbols are given, followed by Certain Questions based on It.

Now Lets See the BASICs of It.

BASICS : Before starting with this topics lemme clear some Meanings of the words "Following, Followed by, Preceding and Preceded by" Let me start with an example. Take Two consecutive alphabets (say A B), Here A is Preceding B <=> B is Preceded by A B is Following A <=> A is Followed by B Take One more Example. Now take 3 consecutive alphabets (say ABC), Here A is followed by B and C, But A is immediately followed by B, A is not immediately followed by C A is not immediately followed by C A is followed by C, but NOT immediately. C is preceded by A and B, But C is immediately preceded by B, (Or We can say)

C is not immediately preceded by A (Or We can say) C is preceded by A but not Immediately Now Lets see some EXAMPLES

How many such Numbers are there in the arrangement each of which is immediately followed by a Symbol and also immediately preceded by a Consonant? Sol : Check for the sequence of Consonant-Number-Symbol (Shortcut : just write the first letters CNS above the question and check for that arrangement) How many such Consonants are there in the arrangement each of which is immediately preceded by a Number and also immediately followed by another Consonant? Sol : Check for the sequence of Number - Consonant - Consonant (Shortcut : Same as above. write NCC n check) How many such Symbols are there in the arrangement each of which is immediately preceded by a Number but NOT immediately followed by a Vowel? Sol: Check for the sequence of Number - Symbol - Not Vowel (Shortcut: Write NSV (Just strike the letter V (or u can put the TICK marks above the letters N and S) How many such Numbers are there in the arrangement each of which is not immediately followed by a Letter and not Immediately preceded by a Symbol? Sol: Check for the sequence of no Symbol - Number - no Letter (SNL) How many such Symbols are there in the arrangement each of which is Either Immediately preceded by a Number or immediately followed by a Consonant but not both? Sol: Check for the sequence of Number - Symbol / Symbol - Consonant (NS or SC) How many such Consonants are there in the arrangement each of which is either immediately preceded by a Number or immediately followed by a Symbol or Both? Sol: Check for the sequence of Number - Consonant / Consonant - Symbol / Number - Consonant Symbol (NC or CS or NCS) ALPHA-NUMERIC-SYMBOL TEST (Part-II)

Left of Left ( - ) Left Left of Right (+) Right Right of Right ( - ) Right

Right of Left (+) Left NOTE : If opposite sides (Left - Right) are given add up the numbers. If same sides (Left -Left or Right - Right) are given deduct Small number from the Big one. Ex : Check the following Alphabetical Series A B C D E F G H IJ K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X YZ

What is the 7th alphabet to the left of the 10th alphabet from the right end in the above series? Ans : 7th left - 10th right (7+10) right 17th right. i.e., "J" (10th alphabet from the right end is Q and 7th alphabet to the left of 'Q' is 'J') What is the 5th alphabet to the left of the 6th alphabet from the left end in the above series? 5th left - 6th left (6-5) left 1st left 'A' What is the 2nd alphabet to the right of the 5th alphabet from the left end in the above series? 2nd right - 5th left (2+5) left 7th left 'G' What is the 13th alphabet to the left of the 13th alphabet from the right end in the above series? 13th left - 13th right (13+13) right 26th right 'A' What is the 3rd alphabet to the right of the 16th alphabet from the right end in the above series? 3rd right - 16th right (16-3) right 13th right 'N' If you found this Blog Interesting and Enlightening, we would Appreciate if you Tell your Friends, Family and Colleagues about it.

Ranking Test

I n this type of problems, generally the ranks of a person both from the top and from the bottom are mentioned and the total number of persons is asked. Now a days they are questions in the form of a puzzles of interchanging seats by two persons. Lets have a look at some models for a clear understanding of the topic. Amala is older than Mona and Rama. Anju is older than Mona but younger than Sunny. Rama is older than Sunny. Who among them is oldest? A) Sunny Ans: C. Explanation : Amala > Sunny Rama > > Mona, Raman ... (Treat this as (I)) ; B) Mona C) Amala D) Anju E) None of these

Mona ... (Treat this as (II)); Sunny... (Treat this as (III)); > Sunny > Anju > Mona.

So, combining all, we get Amala > Rama

If Anju is taller than Shilpa but shorter than Manju and Shilpa is as tall as Sarayu but taller than Shubhashini, then Sarayu is A) taller than Manju B) shorter than Anju C) as tall as Anju D) shorter than Shubhashini E) shorter than Shilpa

Ans : B. Explanation : Manju > Anju > Shilpa = Sarayu > Shubhashini.

Explanation : There are (25-11-1) =13 boys between Akash and Nikhil. Haresh is 27th from the left end of a row of 49 boys and Mahesh is 27th from the right end in the same row. How many boys are between them in the row? A) 6 Ans: B. Explanation : Since Harish is 27th from the left, then he is 49-27+1 from the right, i.e. 23rd from the right. Again, since Mahesh is 27th from the right, therefore there are three boys between them in the row. Arun is fifth from the left end and Navin is twelfth from right end in a row of children. If Navin shifts by three places towards Arun he becomes tenth from the left end. How many children are there in the row? A) 21 Ans: D. Explanation : 9 - D, Total number of children = 12+3+10-1= 24. If Nishanth is eleventh from the left in a row of boys, Rehman is fourteenth from the right, how many boys are there in the row? A) 25 Ans: D. Explanation : We do not have information regarding the number of persons between Nishanth and Rehman. In a row of girls, Ravina is 15th from the left and Mohini is 18th from the right. If they interchange their places, Mohini becomes 15th from the left. How many girls are there in the row? A) 33 Ans: D. Explanation : We still need some more information. In a row of boys facing north, Sudhanshu is twelfth from the left. When shifted to his right by four places, he becomes eighteenth from the right end of the row. How many boys are there in the row? A) 32 Ans: B. Explanation : 12+3+18 = 33. In a queue, Amrita is 10th from the front while Mukul is 25th from behind and Mamta is just in the middle of the two.
