01Reasoning Ability: Building Fixed Structures from Verbal Clues
Reasoning Ability in the South Indian Bank Clerk exam tests how fast you can convert a paragraph of verbal clues into one fixed structure - a seating row, a floor grid, a coded word or a blood-relation tree. The bulk of the section is usually puzzle-and-arrangement sets, with the rest spread across syllogism, inequality, coding-decoding, direction sense, order-ranking, alphanumeric series and data sufficiency.

Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability rewards clean arithmetic done quickly: simplification and approximation, number series, quadratic comparison, percentage, ratio and average, profit and loss, simple and compound interest, time and work, speed and distance, mixtures, mensuration, and data interpretation sets in table, bar, pie and caselet form.

English Language tests two separate skills in one section: rule-based grammar (error detection, sentence improvement, fillers, cloze test, word swap, match-the-column) and reading precision (comprehension and para jumbles).
