The document covers various types of reasoning exercises including verbal, analytical, and non-verbal reasoning. It specifically focuses on techniques for solving alphabet tests, positional values of alphabets, and types of questions involving relationships, sequences, and oppositional letter concepts. Additionally, it features examples and exercises related to logical arrangements of letters, symbols, and numbers, aimed at enhancing reasoning skills.

6. Opposite Letters:
The pairs that exhibit an equidistant from
the centre are said to be opposite letters i.e.,
the first letter of the pair mirrors the position of
the corresponding letter from the end of
alphabet.
Sum of opposite Letters = 27

9. Type of Questions
1. Based on English Alphabet (letter
series)
2. Sequences(Letter and
Number/Symbols)

10. Calculation of Position
n th letter from Right + x th letter towards its Left =
Letter from the Right
Example:-
Position of 7th letter to the left of 16th letter from right
side in English alphabet
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
16th element FROM right + 7th element left = 23st
element from right is D.

11. nth letter from Left + xth letter towards its Right =
Letter from the Left
Example:-
Position of 5th letter to the right of 17th letter from left side.
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
17th element FROM left + 5th element right = 22st element from
left is V.

12. n th letter from Right - x th letter towards its Right =
Letter from the Right
Example:-
Position of 9th letter to the right of 14th letter from right side in
English alphabet
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
14th element FROM right - 9th element right = 5th element
from right is V.

13. n th letter from Left - x th letter towards its Left =
Letter from the left
Example:-
Position of 7th letter to the left of 16th letter from left side in
English alphabet
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
16th element FROM left - 7th element left = 9th element from
left is I.
