Hello,
>> In Reasoning there are various type of reasoning will ask you::

>> First you have to know what is the criteria of reasoning question.

>> Criterion of critical Reasoning are:

• Strengthen an argument.
• Weaken an argument.
• Identify a parallel argument.
• Identify the assumption.
• Identify the inference.
• Select the best conclusion.
• Circular reasoning
• Inaccurate cause-and-effect arguments
• Sweeping generalizations
• Unqualified "expert" opinions

Here i suggest you some tips to solve Reasoning:

1. Read the question before reading the passage.
   
2. Read the questions carefully. The test makers will deliberately include answer choices that give 'right' answers to wrong questions.
   
3. Identify the passage's assumptions and conclusion.This is a great illustration of where our general tip of "practice, practice, practice" will come in handy.
   
4. A paragraph may start off with its conclusion in the first sentence, and then give several sentences to support that conclusion. This means you will not be able to look for transition words such as "consequently", "hence", and "as a result" that are commonly used to indicate the conclusion.
   
5. An assumption is the passage's "must have." In other words, if the assumption is not true, it follows that the conclusion is not true. We have a simple method for identifying assumptions. Read each sentence in the passage individually, and then ask yourself if the conclusion would still be true if this one sentence was incorrect.
   
6. Try to guess the correct answer before you even read the answer choices.
   
7. Read every answer choice carefully.
   
8. The most common type of critical reasoning question asks you to weaken an argument.
   
9. Utilize process of elimination.
   
10. Become comfortable at "working backwards" on these questions. "Working backwards" – inserting each answer choice into the text and and seeing if the passage still makes sense – is an excellent technique to fall back on if you get stuck on a critical reasoning question. However, it can be time consuming. You may need to re-read a passage 5 times, inserting a different answer choice each time, before you find the choice that seems right to you.
    
11. Never choose an answer simply because it is true. The answer choice must be a logical extension of the argument made in the passage.
    
12. Ignore decoys.
    
13. Avoid answer choices that are emotionally charged or 'over the top.
    
14. Avoid answer choices that make absolute statements. Absolute statements are those that use words such as "always" and "must." The test writers are very biased against these types of statements. Hence, when you encounter an answer choice that makes an absolute statement, you will know that it can be safely eliminated.

All the best.
