NABARD Office Attendant sets 30 Reasoning Ability questions for 30 marks in the Online Examination, so it is worth planning your preparation around the topics below.
The puzzles and seating arrangements carry the most marks and take the most time, so the skill is choosing which set to attempt and which to leave. Clear the quick scoring topics — inequality, syllogism, coding-decoding, blood relations — first, then spend the remaining time on one or two puzzles you can actually finish.

Analogy · solved example
Book : Author :: Painting : ?
Solution
A book is created by an author; a painting is created by an artist. Gallery, canvas and colour are associated with paintings but do not mirror the creator relationship.
Number series · solved example
Find the next term: 5, 11, 23, 47, ?
Solution
Each term is double the previous plus one: 5×2+1=11, 11×2+1=23, 23×2+1=47, and 47×2+1=95.
Direction sense · solved example
A person walks 6 km south, then 8 km east. How far is the person from the starting point?
Solution
The path forms a right triangle with legs 6 km and 8 km. Distance from start = √(6²+8²) = √(36+64) = √100 = 10 km.
Blood relations · solved example
Pointing to a woman, Ravi said, 'She is the daughter of my mother's only son.' How is the woman related to Ravi?
Solution
Ravi's mother's only son is Ravi himself. The woman is the daughter of Ravi, so she is Ravi's daughter.
