We can find challenges in every sphere of our lives. Be it finding the best
route to a cinema hall on traffic packed roads or choosing the right item in a
super market.
How best are we equipped to deal with challenges is the question?
Reasoning Ability is a systematic process of thinking where a problem or
plan is analysed from various angles in its most practical sense. Hence
yields better decisions and better conclusions.
That’s why every student’s Reasoning Ability is tested in almost every
competitive exam today.
The process of learning is dependent on one’s ability to think logically and
reason quickly and effectively. These two factors are hence very crucial to a child’s progress in
education.
This critically important ability of reasoning should be seeded and nurtured in the minds of the students
in their budding stage itself. Once the seed of reasoning sprouts in the young minds, the way they see the
world entirely changes. Life itself looks like an exciting puzzle to be solved.
Reasoning and logic skills are an integral part of a wide range of subjects such as Math, Science,
Design and Technology, etc. These skills are also vital in our day to day lives.

Acronym :
An acronym is a memory technique made up of the first letters
of the words to be remembered. The letters are used to form
a code or a meaningful word that is easy to remember.
Acrostic :
An acrostic is similar to an acronym in that it is formed by the first
letter of each word. But, instead of forming a code or a meaningful
word, the letters are used to make a sentence or a story.
Association :
An association is the memory technique by which you link an
item to be remembered to a method of remembering it. Hence,
remembering one item leads to recalling another item.

Ram and Shyam recently went on a
vacation. Before they left, they had
promised to ship a box of fruit to each
of their friends at the work- place. Hari
had asked for oranges, Sunder had
asked for grapes and Abhi wanted a
combination of the two.
The fruits arrived a few days after Ram and Shyam returned, in
boxes bearing labels as Oranges, Grapes and Oranges and
Grapes. Ram then said that he had persuaded the packer to
mislabel each box, and challenged his friends to determine which
box was which by taking only one piece of fruit from just one
box. Abhi found a way to do this. Can you ?
