"A New Approach to REASONING Verbal & Non-Verbal" is a comprehensive and extensively revised guide designed for competitive examination aspirants. Spanning over 1200 pages, this textbook meticulously covers all three core types of reasoning: Verbal, Analytical, and Non-Verbal, each sub-divided into numerous chapters addressing various question patterns. It aims to equip candidates with effective problem-solving strategies and 'Tricks of the Trade' through ample practice. The book features two levels of exercises and incorporates over 2000 previous years' questions from diverse competitive exams, complete with detailed solutions, providing invaluable insight into exam trends and question types.
Key themes
- Logical Problem Solving
- The core theme of the book is to systematically develop and enhance a candidate's ability to solve a wide array of logical problems. This encompasses understanding problem structures, identifying patterns, and applying appropriate reasoning techniques to derive correct solutions, often under time constraints. It is explored through detailed explanations of various problem types and extensive practice exercises.
- Critical Thinking & Analytical Reasoning
- This theme focuses on the ability to analyze information, evaluate arguments, identify assumptions, and draw sound inferences. The book explores this through sections on Analytical Reasoning, teaching candidates to dissect complex statements, understand cause-and-effect relationships, and assess the validity of conclusions. It emphasizes moving beyond surface-level understanding to deeper analytical engagement.
- Pattern Recognition
- A significant portion of reasoning, particularly Non-Verbal and certain Verbal sections, relies heavily on the ability to recognize underlying patterns. The book aims to train the mind to quickly identify sequences, analogies, classifications, and visual transformations, which are fundamental to solving many reasoning questions. This skill is developed through exposure to diverse patterns and systematic methods for their identification.
