Friends, Classification / Odd Man out Series is one of the important topic in Reasoning Section. In these type of questions they just give you 5 options and you should find the odd man out from the given set. I mean, if you are given 5 options like Parrot, Crow, vulture, Sparrow and Penguin and ask you to find the Odd man out, then your answer should be Penguin (because all the remaining birds can fly)... Ofcourse, some of you may say "Why not Vulture is the answer? Because its the only bird which eats dead bodies (actually one of my friends asked this question while writing this article). Point.... "May be other birds too will eat dead insects if they starved" I answered. "Then penguins too can fly for short distances" she replied. Point Again!!! So what will be the correct answer? After all you are not going to argue with the examiner who evaluates your answer sheet (or Optical Marks Reader ofcourse). So, here you should keep in mind that OVER THINKING should be avoided while answering these type of questions. Think twice before marking your answer. Now lets go to the details. To made the concepts clear, we've divided this topic into 3 sections.

Friends, today we are going to learn about the basic rule for Analytical Reasoning. The Place Values of English Alphabets. These will help you in answering the questions related to Coding and Decoding and Analogy... Yea, I know all of you know alphabets and me too don't want to teach them to you now. But what about the place values? Of course, even a 5th grader will tell the answer by counting if you ask him "What is the place value of S ?". But the problem is, you should react in fractions of a second. Because you cant spend more than 30 seconds for these type of questions. That means, you should learn by heart. Below we've given you the alphabets with place values, just read them for 10 to 15 times so that the values of these alphabets will register permanently in your mind.
