Top Videos on Puzzles for Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning for CAT by PW

At LRDI puzzles require you to identify relationships between different pieces of information and use them to reach the correct answer. Since each puzzle follows a different logic, knowing the rules of one type may not help you solve another. 

MBA Wallah videos cover different puzzle formats, from number-based and binary-logic puzzles to seating arrangements and mathematical reasoning. You can use these lessons to understand puzzle categories, practise interpreting clues, organise information and eliminate impossible cases.

Start with the fundamentals and gradually move to specific puzzle types to build a stronger approach to CAT LRDI practice.

Video 1: Identify Core Puzzle Types with a Topic-Wise Introduction

This lesson introduces Puzzles as a broad topic in CAT LRDI and explains its main categories. You will study number-based puzzles, binary-logic sets, quantitative reasoning questions and miscellaneous formats, including encryption-decryption and denominations.

Understanding these categories helps you recognise the type of reasoning a question requires before you begin solving it. If you are new to Puzzles or find it difficult to decide how to approach an unfamiliar set, use this lesson to build your basic understanding.

It gives you a starting point for organising your practice and preparing to solve different puzzle formats.

Video 2: Explore Different Puzzle Formats to Improve Practice Selection

This session expands your understanding of Puzzles through number-based, binary-logic, quantitative and miscellaneous sets. Encryption-decryption and denominations are included as examples of the wider puzzle category.

The lesson helps you become familiar with different question structures and understand why recognising a puzzle type matters before choosing a solving approach. If you already know the basics of Logical Reasoning but need exposure to a wider range of puzzle formats, this video can support your revision.

Use it alongside practice questions to identify the types you find difficult and decide which areas need more attention during CAT LRDI preparation.

Video 3: Solve Seating and Placement Puzzles Through Stepwise Case-Making

This Number-Based Puzzles lesson uses placement-based sets, including seating and arrangement questions, to demonstrate a step-by-step solving process. You will practise reading clues, organising information in a suitable layout, testing possible cases and eliminating options that contradict the given conditions.

CAT-level questions also help you identify common errors and check whether your answers satisfy all the clues. If you find arrangement puzzles confusing or spend too much time testing possibilities, use this lesson to practise making cases more carefully.

It is useful for beginners and students revising for CAT who want to improve their handling of seating and placement-based questions.

Video 4: Practise Math-Based Puzzles with Factors, Divisibility and Deduction

This Math-Based Puzzles lesson covers constellation-style factor-tree sets in which letters represent numbers connected through multiplication relationships. You will practise using place value, divisibility, prime and composite number clues, and positive-integer conditions while solving a starter puzzle and a main set.

The lesson also demonstrates bottom-up deduction, parity checks and ways to identify contradictions instead of relying on lengthy algebra or random guesses. If you find number-based puzzles difficult because several conditions must work together, this session helps you practise connecting clues and eliminating impossible values.

Use it for focused practice before attempting CAT LRDI sectional tests or mock exams.

These four PW videos cover Puzzles for CAT LRDI, from identifying common puzzle types to solving seating arrangements, placement sets and mathematical puzzles. Start with the introductory lessons to understand the different categories and revise Logical Reasoning basics.

Then move to seating and placement questions before practising math-based puzzles that require you to connect several numerical conditions.

While solving each set, write down the clues clearly, test only relevant cases and check whether your final arrangement satisfies every condition.

Review the steps behind incorrect answers instead of memorising solutions. Regular practice with these videos can help you improve your reasoning, case selection and accuracy as you prepare for CAT LRDI.
