If you are preparing for Sainik School, Navodaya Vidyalaya, or RIMC entrance exams, you already know these exam’s aren’t just about memorizing facts. The test are designed to see how quickly you can think, how sharply you identify the patterns, and how quickly and creatively you solve problems. The secret to acing them lies in mastering intelligence based questions—the kind that make you go, “Aha! I get it now!”
Why Focus on Intelligence-Based Questions?
Based on previous experience, We’ve seen students stress over these exams, especially the sections on Intelligence – Analogies, Classifications, and Series. But the truth is: Once you understand the logic behind these questions, it is become fun puzzles instead of tough question. In this post, We’re prepared 50 fresh MCQs crafted based on years of analyzing past papers, trends, and common patterns. These aren’t your run-of-the-mill questions—they’re designed to mimic the exam’s unpredictability while teaching you how to outsmart it.
Let’s be real: These schools want students who can adapt, not just repeat textbooks. Here’s what they’re really testing:
- Analogies (e.g., Sitar : Strings :: Tabla : ?):
- They’re checking if you can connect the dots between ideas. Think of it like solving a riddle: “How are these two things related, and what’s the hidden rule?”
- Pro Tip: Look for functional relationships (e.g., tools and their uses) or part-to-whole links (e.g., engine : car).
- Classification (e.g., Spot the odd one: Peacock, Sparrow, Penguin):
- This is all about grouping smartly. Can you tell why one thing doesn’t fit? Hint: It’s often a sneaky difference, like flightless birds or folk vs. classical dance forms.
- Pro Tip: Brush up on GK categories—rivers, monuments, scientific terms. Exams love these!
- Series (e.g., 2, 6, 12, 20, 30, ?):
- These questions want to know if you can predict the future (well, sort of). Find the pattern, and you’ll crack the code.
- Pro Tip: Write down the differences between numbers or letters. Sometimes the pattern changes (like +4, +6, +8…).
