Comments

  • These are called logic and reasoning problems. Plenty available online for practice.
    I directly faced them in exam without practice. Using eliminating method.

    For example, in the first question, eliminate R cos the statement given R is not a doctor. P and S are students so eliminate P. Q is neither artist nor doctor so it is also eliminated. So answer is T.

    Second, Who is artist?
    T is doctor so eliminate. Q isn't artist so eliminate. P is student so R is the artist.

    Third, Spouse of R? P and S are unmarried. T is married is given, he could not marry Q because Q is man, so it must be R. So, answer T.

    just practice and improve speed. I don't know any other methods.
