Normal practice, or a Simulated test

Both use the same questions. Normal practice is untimed and needs no account: choose an option and the answer and solution appear at once. The Simulated test is the real computer-based format, with one 60-minute clock, a question palette and full screen, and your score, the key and the solutions arrive when you submit.

About this test

Logical Reasoning Arrangement Sets Level 1: Floor, Row and Circle Puzzles

This is Level 1 of the Advanced Logical Reasoning Sets on Aptitude360, an easy-level practice set on basic arrangement puzzles: floors, box stacks, a south-facing row, weekday and month schedules, circular seating and ranking. It suits learners who are new to puzzle sets and want to learn how to place five people from a list of clues, one step at a time.

Puzzle types in this Level 1 reasoning set

  • Floor-based puzzles where people live on different storeys of one building
  • Box stacking, with positions counted from the bottom of the stack
  • Linear rows facing south, with left and right taken from the persons' own view
  • Circular seating around a table, with everyone facing the centre
  • Scheduling across weekdays, months, school periods and joining years
  • Comparisons of height and of test scores with no ties

Key concepts to revise for basic arrangement puzzles

  • For people facing south, left and right are reversed compared with your own view of the diagram
  • When people face the centre of a circular table, their right is the anticlockwise direction
  • Floor and stack positions count upward from the lowest level
  • Fixed clues, such as an exact floor or a named day, should be placed before relative clues
  • In comparison puzzles, linking the inequalities into a single chain gives the full order

Revision tips for Level 1 puzzle sets

  • Draw a blank grid or circle before you read the clues
  • Cross out impossible positions on your grid so you can eliminate options quickly
  • When a clue allows two cases, sketch both side by side and test each one against the remaining clues

Who should take this reasoning practice

This set is for aspirants starting analytical reasoning who want to build the habit of solving arrangement puzzles step by step before they move to harder levels.

FAQs about Advanced Logical Reasoning Sets Practice Questions with Detailed Solutions – Level 1

How do you solve circular seating arrangement questions?
Fix one person's seat first, then place the others using the clues that give exact positions. When everyone faces the centre, a person's right is the anticlockwise direction.
How do left and right work in a linear seating arrangement?
For people facing north, their right is your right as you look at the diagram. For people facing south, their left and right are reversed.
What is a floor based puzzle in reasoning?
A floor based puzzle asks you to place people or items on the levels of a building using clues about who lives above, below or next to whom. The floors are usually numbered from the bottom.
Which clue should you use first in a puzzle?
Start with definite clues, such as a fixed position or a named day. Use relative clues and clues that rule out a position after that to narrow down the remaining places.
