Try two questions from FEAT Paper 1
Reasoning
Five interns, Dev, Isha, Kabir, Lina and Myra, are standing in a straight line facing north. Question: Is Dev standing immediately to the left of Isha? Statement I: Dev is second from the left, and Isha is somewhere to the right of Dev. Statement II: Isha is third from the left, and Dev is somewhere to the left of Isha.
- A Statement I alone is sufficient
- B Statement II alone is sufficient
- C Both statements together are sufficient, but neither alone is sufficient
- D Even both statements together are not sufficient
Quantitative
The ratio of children going for a picnic to children not going is 8:3. If the total number of children is 55, out of which 3 who were not going earlier are now ready to go, what is the new ratio?
- A 8:1
- B 9:2
- C 51:4
- D 43:12

Twenty questions at 2 marks each, more per question than any other FEAT section, with no negative marking and no calculator. FLAME's own sample paper splits it into analytical sets - people or places arranged by rules such as seating or scheduling - and short arguments where you judge an assumption, a conclusion or an explanation.
- Scheduling and seating sets
- Ordering puzzles
- Assumptions and conclusions
- Strengthen, weaken and explain
Five shows on a college radio station
- Tanvi, Uday, Vikram, Wasim and Yamini each host one show on a college radio station, one show a day from Monday to Friday.
- The five shows are on film, music, sport, books and news, one subject each.
- The sport show is on Friday.
- Uday hosts the books show, two days before Wasim's show.
- Vikram's show is the day after the music show.
- Yamini's show is later in the week than Vikram's.
- The news show is earlier in the week than the film show.
- Tanvi does not host the music show.
Who hosts the music show?
- A Tanvi
- B Vikram
- C Wasim
- D Yamini
Show the answer
Wasim. Vikram has the music show before him and Yamini's after him, so he is on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. Of Uday's three possible days only Monday works, with Wasim on Wednesday: Vikram then takes Thursday, so Wednesday's show - Wasim's - is music.
Which show is on Tuesday?
- A News
- B Film
- C Music
- D Sport
Show the answer
News. Books (Monday), music (Wednesday) and sport (Friday) are fixed, so news and film take Tuesday and Thursday. News comes first, so Tuesday is news.
Which of these is correctly matched?
- A Tanvi - film
- B Yamini - sport
- C Vikram - news
- D Wasim - sport
Show the answer
Yamini - sport. The week runs Uday, Tanvi, Wasim, Vikram, Yamini, so Yamini has Friday's sport show. Wasim - sport is the trap: it needs Uday on Wednesday, which leaves Tanvi with the music show.
