Aptitude Test Topic: Analytical Reasoning

Analytical Reasoning questions are designed to assess the ability to consider a group of facts and rules, and, given those facts and rules, determine what could or must be true. The specific scenarios associated with these questions are usually unrelated to law, since they are intended to be accessible to a wide range of test takers. However, the skills tested parallel those involved in determining what could or must be the case given a set of regulations, the terms of a contract, or the facts of a legal case in relation to the law. In Analytical Reasoning questions, you are asked to reason deductively from a set of statements and rules or principles that describe relationships among persons, things, or events.

Each candidate should serve on exactly one of the committees

  • Every committee must have at least one member

Danish and Shiza
Faisal and Maryam
Liaquat, Maryam, and Shiza
