CAT Logical Reasoning Sets With Solutions

Logical Reasoning (LR) sets give you a scenario and a list of conditions, such as people at a table, matches in a tournament or items assigned to slots. You must work out the arrangement that satisfies every condition.

Why Logical Reasoning matters in CAT

LR sets make up a large share of the DILR section, and they decide most scores because one cracked set answers several questions.

Key logical reasoning concepts

• Linear and circular arrangements
• Grouping and selection with constraints
• Scheduling and sequencing
• Tournaments and scoring
• Case splitting when a condition allows two possibilities

Common mistakes

• Keeping conditions in your head instead of on paper.
• Not splitting into cases when a condition leaves two options open.
• Answering a question from one case without checking the others.

Practical solving approaches

• Draw the grid or diagram first and fill in the definite conditions.
• When stuck, list the possible cases explicitly and test each one.
• Read each question carefully: some add a new condition that applies only to that question.

Logical Reasoning FAQs

How do I choose which LR set to attempt?

Prefer sets with clear, definite conditions and familiar structures. Postpone sets whose conditions are mostly 'either-or' statements.
