Verbal Logic and Deduction
Verbal Logic and Deduction
Verbal Logic and Deduction involve:
understanding patterns,
reasoning through statements,
making logical conclusions based on information given.
Verbal Logic and Deduction
Verbal Logic and Deduction is important because it builds critical thinking skills, helps tackle complex verbal reasoning questions efficiently and encourages accuracy and attention to detail.

Question: Is the final statement true or false?
The final statement is obviously not true. Just because all A are B, it does not follow that all B are A. For example, all boys are humans, but not all humans are boys.

Question: Is the final statement true, false or unknown?
We now have a new answer option: unknown.
Let's analyze the logic. We can express the statements as:
James > Jean | James > John
The statements A > B and A > C does not provide enough information to make a statement about the relationship between B and C, it could be B ≥ C or B ≤ C.

Work Systematically: Break down each word into manageable parts—convert letters into numbers (e.g., A = 1, B = 2) or count letters—and follow the same process for all examples.
Check for Consistency: Double-check your calculations to ensure the rule works across all given examples before applying it to find the answer.

Tips and hints for Logic & Deduction questions
Organise the Information Clearly:
Use a table or grid to track the relationships between people, items, and clues. For example, list the names in one column and the possible gifts in the others, ticking or crossing options as you eliminate possibilities.
Focus on Definite Clues First:
Start with clues that provide direct information (e.g., "Linda gave the ring") to establish a foundation. This narrows down options for the remaining items.

Tips and hints for Logic & Deduction questions
Use the Process of Elimination:
Eliminate impossible options systematically. If someone can’t give an item, cross it off, and look for what remains logically valid.
Work Step by Step:
Avoid trying to solve the entire problem in one go. Deduce each relationship or match one clue at a time while continuously updating your grid or table.
