BINARY LOGIC
Synopsis:
In some of the competitive exams, we come across questions which are to be answered based on the truth or
falsity of statements given in the question, in these questions we come across three kinds of terms. They are
‘Truth-Teller’, ‘Liar’ and ‘Alternator’. These terms may or may not be explicitly defined in the question. The
following are the definitions of these terms, which can be applied while answering these questions, unless
otherwise defined.
Truth-teller: A person who’s each and every statement is true.
Liar: A person who’s each and every statement is false.
Alternator: If first statement of the person is true, the next statement is false or vice versa.

CLOCKS
The hour hand and the minute hand of a clock move in relation to each other continuously and at any
given point of time, they make an angle between 00 and 1800 with each other.
If the time shown by the clock is known, the angle between the hands can be calculated. Similarly, if the angle
between the hands is known, the time shown by the clock can be found out.
When we say angle between the hands,
the acute/obtuse angles= (up to 1800) between the two hands and
not the reflex angle (The angle between 1800and 3600).
For solving the problems on clocks, the following points will be helpful.
Minute hand : * 60 min or 1 hour=3600, * 1 min =360/60=60 then speed of MH= 60 per min
Hour hand : * 12 hour=3600, * 1 Hour=360/12=300 ,1 min=1/2 0 then speed of HH= 1/20 per min
Meet MH/ HH Angle 1 hour 12 hours
Coincide 00 1 time 11 times
0
Opposite to each 180 1 11
Straight line 2 22
0
Right angle 90 2 22

11 60 H − 11M
➢ The angle between the MH and HH is, Angle  = 30 H − M =
2 2
➢ Mirror Image=11.60-(given time)
➢ Reflex angle=3600- 

CALENDAR
Suppose you are asked to find the day of the week on 30th June, 1974, it would be a tough job to find if
you do not know the method. The questions based on calendars are sometimes asked in the competitive exams.
The method of finding the day of the week lies in the number of “odd days”.
NOTE: Every 7th day will be the same day count wise i.e. if today is Monday then Tuesday onwards the 7th
day will once again be Monday. Hence, logic says divide the total numbers of days by 7 and the remainder will
be called odd days.
Number of days
Odd days=
7
Example: (52 days/7)=3 odd days.
Ordinary year – An ordinary year has 365 days.=52weeks 1 odd day
Leap year – A leap year has 366 days.=52 weeks 2 odd days
(i). Every year divisible by 4 is a leap year, if it is not a century.
(ii). Every 4th century is a leap year and no other century is a leap year.
For example –
• 1700, 1800, 1900 are not a leap year because it is not divisible by 400.
• 1600, 2000, 2400 are leap years because they are divisible by 400

CUBES
SESSION -7
SYNOPSIS:
A Cube is a three dimensional square. It has 6 faces, 12 edges and 8 corners. All the faces are of equal
dimensions.
A Cuboid, on the other hand, is a three dimensional rectangle. Opposite faces of a cuboid are of equal
dimensions.
The questions that are frequently asked can be classified into three categories:
1. Cutting a cube in order to get the maximum number of identical pieces.
2. Finding the least number of cuts required to cut a given cube into a given number of identical pieces.
3. Painting the different faces of a cube.
In order to get the maximum number of identical pieces after cutting a cube the given number of times, we have
to cut the cube on all three direction name X-Axis, Y-Axis and Z-Axis as much as possible equally. The
difference in the number of cuts between any two directions should be least.
In order to find the least number of cuts required to cut a cube into a given number of identical pieces, we have
to first find the number of identical pieces lined up on each direction. Because if we know the number of
identical pieces on all three directions then we can easily find the number of cuts made on each direction simply
by subtracting one from the number of pieces.

In order to count the number of smaller cubes which are painted on given number of smaller faces, we divide
the larger into four sections.
Section 1 consists of the smaller cubes which have exactly three externally visible faces which will be at the
corners.
Section 2 consists of the smaller cubes which have exactly two externally visible faces which will be on the
edges (but excluding the corners).
Section 3 consists of the smaller cubes which have exactly one externally visible face which will be in the
middle part of each larger face.
Section 4 consists of the smaller cubes which have no externally visible faces which will be hidden inside the
larger cube.

VENN DIAGRAMS
SYNOPSIS:
Venn diagram, also known as Euler-Venn diagram is a simple representation of sets by diagrams. The
usual depiction makes use of a rectangle as the universal set and circles for the sets under consideration. Let's
take a look at some basic formulas for Venn diagrams of two and three elements.
n(A∪B)=n(A)+n(B)-n(A∩B)
n (A ∪ B ∪ C) = n(A ) + n ( B ) + n (C) - n ( A ∩ B) - n ( B ∩ C) - n ( C ∩ A) + n (A ∩ B ∩ C )
And so on, where n(A)= number of elements in set A.

NUMBER AND LETTER SERIES

SYNOPSIS:
For better understanding we will classify Number Series into the following broad categories
➢ Difference series
➢ Product series
➢ Squares/Cubes series
➢ Miscellaneous series
➢ Combination series
Difference Series:
The difference series can be further classified into
➢ Number series with constant difference
In the number series with constant difference , there is always a constant difference between two
consecutive numbers. For example, the numbers of the series 1, 4, 7, 10, 13 ........ are such that any number
is obtained by adding a constant figure of 3 to the preceding term of the series.
➢ Number series with increasing or decreasing difference
In the series with increasing/decreasing difference, the difference between consecutive terms keeps
increasing(or decreasing, as the case may be).For example , let us try to find out the next number in the series 2,
3, 5, 8, 12, 17, 23,.........

36 | P a g e
S3,9,12,20,24,32 YHK
Product Series:
A product series is usually a number series where the terms are obtained by a process of multiplication .Here
also there can be different types of series. We will look at these through examples.
Consider the series 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64........ Here, each number in the series is multiplied by 2 to get the next
term. So, the term that comes after 64 is 128.So, each term is multiplied by a fixed number to get the next term.
Squares/Cubes Series:
There can be series where all the terms are related to the squares of numbers or cubes of numbers. With
squares/cubes of number as the basis, there can be many variations in the pattern of the series. Let us look at
various possibilities of series based on squares/cubes.
Each term of the series may be the square of a natural number, such as 1, 4, 9, 16 ...The numbers are squares of
1, 2, 3, 4 .......respectively. The number which follows 16(which is the square of 4) will be 25(which is the
square of 5).

Miscellaneous Series:
There are series that do not come under the other patterns and are of general nature but are important and are
fairly common. Even here, sometimes, there can be a specific pattern in some cases.
Take the series 3, 5, 7, 11, 13 ...this is the series of PRIMES NUMBERS. It is an important series and the
student should look out for this as one of the patterns. The next term in this series is 17.
There can also be variations using prime numbers. Take the series 9, 25, 49, 121 ....In this series, the terms are
SQUARES of prime numbers . Hence, the next term is 132 , i.e., 169.

Combination Series:
A number series which has more than one type of (arithmetic) operation performed or more than one series
combined together is a combination series .The series that are combined can be two series of the same type or
could be different types of series described above .Let us look at some examples.
First let us look at series that are formed by more than one arithmetic operation performed on the terms to give
the subsequent terms.
Consider the series 2, 6, 10, 3, 9, 13, 4, 12, ..........Here, the first term 2 is multiplied by 3 to get the second term,
and 4 is added to get the third term. The next term is 3(one more than the first term 2) and it is multiplied by 3 to
get 9 (which is the next term )and then 4 is added to get the next term 13.The next term 4(which is one more
than 3)which is multiplied with 3 to get 12, the next term. Then 4 is added to this to get the next number 16.

ANALYTICAL REASONING PUZZLES

Synopsis:
In these questions we will asked to arrange people or things in linear rows, vertical rows, around a circular
table or hexagonal etc. Sometimes we will be asked to make selections from a team of players based on a given
criteria.
While making a linear arrangement we generally assume that everybody in the row is facing the same direction
unless and until it is given otherwise.
In the case of circular arrangement we assume that everybody around the circle is positioned in such a way that
they face the center of the circle so that the clock-wise direction becomes the left hand side and the anti-clock
wise direction becomes the right hand side for all the people.
The positions of some people will be fixed but the positions of others will remain an unknown with more than
one possible position. From the given data we may not always get a unique arrangement. Most times we get more
than one possible arrangement. To find all the possible arrangements is the challenge.
