2. Based on Puzzles

3. Based on Symbolically coded

Based on Conversation or Dialogue-

In this type of questions, the one person talking to or doing chit-chat with other person giving information by pointing to some picture or person.

Example: Pointing to a lady on the stage, Monika said, “She is the sister of the son of the wife of my husband.” How is the lady related to Monika?

Solution: Find who you can easily relate to and be that person-then go about creating one relation after another.

In this question, be Monika-then start from the end of the sentence.

“My husband” = Monika’s husband

‘Wife of my husband’ = is me = Monika

‘Son of the wife of my husband’ = My Son

‘Sister of the Son of the wife of my Husband’ = My Son’s Sister = My daughter

‘She’ is the sister of the son of the wife of my husband’ = the lady on the stage = the lady being pointed out = my daughter.

So, lady on the stage is Monika’s daughter.
