CUET Logical Reasoning: Blood Relations & Direction Sense

📝 How to crack these visual reasoning questions?

In the CUET General Test (Section III), questions on Blood Relations and Direction Sense are designed to confuse your brain with twisting language (e.g., "Pointing to a photograph, a man said..."). Reading the question multiple times is a huge time-waster.

Our PDF focuses strictly on the Diagrammatic Approach. Instead of reading, you will learn to draw. Once the diagram is on your rough sheet, the answer becomes crystal clear in seconds.

• The Family Tree Method: Stop guessing in your head. Learn standard symbols: Squares for males, Circles for females, horizontal lines for siblings, and vertical lines for generations. Translate the English sentence directly into a tree.
• Coded Blood Relations: Tricks to quickly decode "A $ B means A is the father of B" without drawing the entire tree, just by checking gender and generation gaps in the options.
• The N-E-S-W Compass Hack: Never get confused between left and right turns again. Learn the clockwise and anti-clockwise placement of North, East, South, and West.
• Shortest Distance (Pythagoras): Most direction questions don't just ask for the final direction; they ask for the shortest distance from the starting point. Master the basic Pythagorean triplets (e.g., 3-4-5, 5-12-13) to solve these without calculation.

Pro Tip: For Direction Sense questions, always draw a tiny "+ " sign on your rough paper as a starting point. And for Blood Relations, always start from the word "MY" in the sentence to build the connection backwards!
