• Although the puzzles were not overly difficult, some required multiple conditions to be applied simultaneously, emphasizing the need for precision.

MAH MBA CET Day 2 Analysis: Abstract Reasoning

The MAH MBA CET day 2 slot 1 question paper consisted of tricky questions that could be solved with a structured approach and quick pattern recognition. 

• Detecting the next figure in a series required recognizing transformations, such as rotation, reflection, and shape change.
