Hiii Guys....
I've just started solving Logical Reasoning questions.
Last Year I'd enrolled in Career Launcher classes.They just had three thin books on logical reasoning that covered the basic concepts.
Should I just read the basic concepts and directly jump to mock questions or Should I refer any volumnious and thick book for that?????
