I'll cover all the reasoning topics for IBPS, SSC, TCS NQT, RRB. It includes all shortcuts and direct approach. It will take only a week to cover the entire topic. 

Here are concise reasoning shortnotes:

Types of Reasoning:

1. Deductive Reasoning

General to specific.

If premises are true, conclusion is certain.

Example: All men are mortal. Socrates is a man. Therefore, Socrates is mortal.

2. Inductive Reasoning

Specific to general.

Based on observations; conclusion is probable.

Example: The sun rises every day. Therefore, it will rise tomorrow.

3. Abductive Reasoning

Best possible explanation.

Often used in diagnostics or hypotheses.

Example: Patient has fever and rash; likely cause is measles.

4. Analogical Reasoning

Comparing two similar situations.

Example: Heart pumps blood as a pump pushes water.

5. Cause-and-Effect Reasoning

Understanding relationships between events.

Example: Smoking leads to lung cancer.

6. Critical Reasoning

Evaluating arguments for validity and

logic.

Involves analyzing evidence and assumptions.

We will cover all these types of reasoning.
