Hello, today let's look at an integral part of an analytical reasoning or logical reasoning section, which is the question on puzzles. From the movement that we see in CAT these days, probably at least in the last three years, we can be sure that these are the kind of questions that you will see in a substantial number out of the nine odd questions that you see in CAT, specifically in the analytical reasoning or logical reasoning section. This section is a subsection of the verbal section that consists of 30 questions. We are very sure that around 7 questions would be straight-up puzzles. However, puzzles are not actually puzzles per se; they are more or less situations created out of a simple table. All we have to do is put those tables back into practice. For example, let's consider this first example where there are four young men who are married. The names of the wives are given as Raveena, Savita, Tara, and Uma. The city where these couples live is also given as Rampur, Sanchi, Tirupati, and Cottonwood Lumpur. All of them have their names' initials as RST and you. So, when such kind of questions come up, we have two kinds of approaches here. One is to take up a ticking cross method. The other one is to build a simple table of a 1 is to 1 relationship. But for practice and for starters, we will ensure that we do the ticking cross method. Let's get the question first. The conditions that are given to us are that the first letter of the names of men, their wives, and cities does not match. That means if there is a Rajeev, he is not married to Raveena, and he's not coming from Rampur. Similarly, Raveena is married to...
