Sitting arrangement and Puzzle
Unknown number of persons in linear sitting with a one variable was asked in every exam (IBPS PO 2018, IBPS Clerk 2018, LIC AAO 2019) but this year SBI may give it in (Rectangular, Square, Circular Seating Arrangements) with a 2 variables.
In LIC AAO 2019 paper we figured out circular sitting arrangement maximum of 11 persons facing north was asked which is different from typical 8 person circular arrangement. But now we expect number of persons may increase with south facing as well. Parallel Row arrangement was asked in all previous exam so must prepare it for future exam.
Syllogism
LIC AAO 2019 introduced “ only few, few ” concept in syllogism. We can also expect “percentage, most, many” concept also Syllogism and inequality may also be asked in the questions from data sufficiency.
Machine input output
Machine Input Output has not been asked in prelims but we can expect these questions from the topic this year, so keep practicing.
Inequality
No change in Inequality seen in previous year exams but this year Coded inequality may asked. So prepare with coded inequality.
