Logical reasoning is the ability to think logically and analytically, and to solve problems
using deductive or inductive reasoning. Logical reasoning questions are often used in various
competitive exams, entrance tests, and interviews to assess the candidate’s logical thinking
skills. Some of the best logical reasoning questions are:
2. Three light bulbs: In this logic question, you are standing in a room with three light switches.
Each switch controls one of the three light bulbs in the room. You can only enter the room
once, and you can only use each switch once. How can you turn on all three lights?1
3. Manhole covers: This logical question can be presented as a riddle, and there are several
variations on the format of this puzzle. The basic idea is that you have a set of manhole covers
that fit into a certain pattern. You need to find out how many manhole covers there are, how
they are arranged, and how you can move them from one place to another.1
4. The farmer, the fox and the chicken: This is a classic example of a logical question that tests
your ability to draw valid conclusions from given premises. The premise is that a farmer has
three animals: a fox, a chicken, and some other animal (let’s call it X). The farmer knows that
he cannot keep both the fox and the chicken together, because they will eat each other. He
also knows that he cannot keep either the fox or X alone, because they will eat his other
animal. He decides to put X with Y (the other animal), but he does not know which one will
eat whom.1
5. Four names: This is another example of a logical question that tests your ability to identify
patterns and relationships among names. The premise is that there are four people whose
names start with different letters of the alphabet: A, B, C, and D. You need to find out who is
A’s brother.1
6. Rolling the dice: This is an example of a logical question that tests your ability to apply
probability theory and statistics. The premise is that you have two dice with six sides each.
You roll them once and record their sum (X). Then you roll them again and record their
difference (Y). You need to find out what is the probability distribution of X and Y.1
7. The hardest logic puzzle ever1: This is a riddle by the logicians Raymond Smullyan and John
McCarthy that became famous in the 1990s. It involves three oracles called True, False, and
Random. True always tells the truth, False always lies and Random randomly tells the truth or
lies. You can ask three yes-or-no questions to each oracle, but you don’t know which one is
which. How can you find out who is True, who is False, and who is Random?
8. Killer LR: 15 of the Hardest Logical Reasoning Questions of All Time Part IV: This is a
collection of 15 difficult questions from the LSAT (Law School Admission Test), which is a
standardized test for admission to law schools in the United States. The questions cover topics
such as syllogisms, analogies, arguments from premises to conclusions, and inferences from
text. The questions are designed to test your ability to analyze arguments and identify flaws or
inconsistencies.
9. Top 70 Logical Math Questions - 2023 Updated2: This is a list of 70 logical math questions
that are updated for 2023. The questions range from easy to hard and cover various topics
such as number theory, combinatorics, geometry, algebra, calculus, and probability. The
questions require you to apply mathematical concepts and methods to solve problems or
prove statements.
10. Can you solve what an MIT professor once called ‘the hardest logic puzzle ever’?3: This is an
article that explains another version of the logic puzzle mentioned above1. It also provides
some hints and solutions for each question.
11. Suppose you are given a dataset of 1000 customers, each with a rating of 1 to 5 stars for a
product they bought. The ratings are independent of each other, meaning that the rating of one
customer does not affect the rating of another customer. You want to find out which product
has the highest average rating among all customers. How would you approach this problem?
12. Suppose you are given a dataset of 10 countries, each with a population, GDP per capita, and
life expectancy. You want to find out which country has the highest GDP per capita relative
to its life expectancy. How would you approach this problem?
13. Suppose you are given a dataset of 20 employees, each with a salary, performance rating, and
bonus amount. The performance rating is based on two factors: quality and quantity of work.
The bonus amount is based on the performance rating and the company’s policy. You want to
find out which employee has the highest bonus amount after receiving their bonus based on
their performance rating. How would you approach this problem?
14. A four-person crew from Classic Colors is painting Mr. Field's house. Michael is painting the
front of the house. Ross is in the alley behind the house painting the back. Jed is painting the
window frames on the north side, Shawn is on the south. If Michael switches places with Jed,
and Jed then switches places with Shawn, where is Shawn?
15. At the baseball game, Henry was sitting in seat 253. Marla was sitting to the right of Henry in
seat 254. In the seat to the left of Henry was George. Inez was sitting to the left of George.
Which seat is Inez sitting in?
16. As they prepare for the state championships, one gymnast must be moved from the Level 2
team to the Level 1 team. The coaches will move the gymnast who has won the biggest prize
and who has the most experience. In the last competition, Roberta won a bronze medal and
has competed seven times before. Jamie has won a silver medal and has competed fewer
times than Roberta. Beth has won a higher medal than Jamie and has competed more times
than Roberta. Michele has won a bronze medal, and it is her third time competing. Who will
be moved to the Level 1 team?

17. A and B together have Rs. 1210. If of A's amount is equal to of B's amount, how much
amount does B have?
