PU MET 2026 Verbal Ability & Reasoning Previous Year Questions with Detailed Solutions

PU MET 2026 Verbal Ability and Reasoning PYQs with Worked Solutions

This set lets you test your speed and accuracy on the Verbal Ability and Reasoning questions from the PU MET 2026 paper. It covers analogies, coding-decoding, seating arrangements, direction sense, blood relations, series, clocks, calendars and sentence-based verbal questions. Aptitude360 gives a worked solution for every question, so you can trace each step of the logic.

Question types in the PU MET 2026 reasoning section

• Word analogies built on meaning, such as a word paired with its synonym
• Direction sense with turns, shadows at sunrise and shortest-distance questions
• Linear seating in a row and circular seating facing the centre
• Letter and number coding, plus number and letter-number series
• Blood relations written as symbol codes
• Cause and effect, and statement and conclusion questions
• Clock hand positions, faulty clocks and day-of-the-week calendar questions
• Odd sentence out and sentence ordering in a paragraph

Key rules and formulas for clock, calendar and direction questions

• Clock-hand angle, with \( 0\le H<12 \): \( \theta=\left|30H-\dfrac{11}{2}M\right| \)
• Smaller angle between the hands: \( \min(\theta,\,360^{\circ}-\theta) \)
• Shortest distance from net displacements: \( d=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}} \)
• Odd days in an ordinary year: \( 365=52\times 7+1 \)
• Odd days in a leap year: \( 366=52\times 7+2 \)

Verbal reasoning concepts to revise

• Telling a cause apart from an effect, and spotting two effects of a common cause
• Accepting only conclusions that follow strictly from the given statement
• Finding the opening and closing sentences first in a jumble
• Identifying the central theme that the odd sentence breaks

Preparation tips for PU MET reasoning

• Draw a rough diagram for every direction and seating question before reading the options
• At a circular table facing the centre, a person's right is the anti-clockwise side
• In coded blood relations, fix each person's gender first, then trace the chain
• Test series for squares, primes and alternating patterns early
