Reasoning PYQs

BODMAS Rule:

Given equation: 14 − 6 × 30 ÷ 10 + 4 = 28

We need to find which two mathematical signs should be interchanged so that the equation becomes mathematically correct.

Option 1) ÷ and −

After interchanging:

14 ÷ 6 × 30 − 10 + 4

⇒ 14 ÷ 6 × 30 − 10 + 4

⇒ 70 − 10 + 4

⇒ 64

Since 64 ≠ 28, this option is incorrect.

Option 2) × and −

After interchanging:

14 × 6 − 30 ÷ 10 + 4

⇒ 84 − 3 + 4

⇒ 85

Since 85 ≠ 28, this option is incorrect.

Option 3) ÷ and ×

After interchanging:

14 − 6 ÷ 30 × 10 + 4

⇒ 14 − 2 + 4

⇒ 16

Since 16 ≠ 28, this option is incorrect.

Option 4) − and +

After interchanging:

14 + 6 × 30 ÷ 10 − 4

⇒ 14 + 18 − 4

⇒ 32 − 4

⇒ 28

Since 28 = 28, this option is correct.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option (4)".

Letters and their assigned numbers:

 

Evaluating the options to form a meaningful word:

1. 1, 2, 4, 3 → M, R, O, W → MROW (Not a meaningful word)

2. 3, 4, 2, 1 → W, O, R, M → WORM (A meaningful word)

3. 4, 3, 2, 1 → O, W, R, M → OWRM (Not a meaningful word)

4. 1, 2, 3, 4 → M, R, W, O → MRWO (Not a meaningful word)

The arrangement 3, 4, 2, 1 corresponds to the word WORM, which is a meaningful word.

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 2”.

Pattern followed here is,

T - 4 = P

P - 4 = L

L - 4 = H

H - 4 = D

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 4”.

Pattern followed here is,

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 4”.

BODMAS Table: 

Given expression: 9 + 4 - 2 ÷ 2 = ?

Now, replacing the symbols:

⇒ 9 × 4 ÷ 2 + 2 = ?

⇒ 9 × 4 ÷ 2 + 2 = ?

⇒ 36 ÷ 2 + 2 = ?

⇒ 18 + 2 = ?

⇒ 20.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Mirror image of given figure,

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 1”.

Water image of the given figure,

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 4”.

Given: RT_QWR_FQ_RT__W__HQW

(1) FTWGQRX → RTFQW/ RTFQW/ RTGQW/ RXHQW 

(2) ETWGQRT → RTEQW/ RTFQW/ RTGQW/ RTHQW (Follow a specific pattern)

(3) EXWGQRX → RTEQW/ RXFQW/ RTGQW/ RXHQW

(4) ETWHSRT → RTEQW/ RTFQW/ RTHSW/ RTHQW

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 2”.

Triangles in the given figure,

There are 17 triangles present in the given figure.

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 2”.

Triangles in the given figure,

There are 27 triangles present in the given figure.

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 2”.

For, HOUSE : KRXVH

Similarly,

For, ROOM : ?

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 1”.

Logic:

Second number = (First number)² + 1

Third number = Second number + 21

(1): (14, 197, 218)

(14)² + 1 = 196 + 1 = 197

197 + 21 = 218

(2): (16, 257, 278)

(16)2 + 1 = 256 + 1 = 257

257 + 21 = 278

(3): (20, 401, 424)

(20)2 + 1 = 400 + 1 = 401

410 + 21 = 422 ≠ 424

(4): (18, 325, 346)

(18)2 + 1 = 324 + 1 = 325

325 + 21 = 346

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 3”.

BODMAS Table: 

Given expression: 144 % 12 @ 7 * 25 # 19

Now, replacing the symbols:

⇒ 144 ÷ 12 × 7 + 25 - 19

⇒ 144 ÷ 12 × 7 + 25 - 19

⇒ 12 × 7 + 25 - 19

⇒ 84 + 25 - 19

⇒ 84 + 25 - 19

⇒ 109 - 19

⇒ 90.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Pattern: (First Number × 4) - 7 = Second Number.

11 : 37 → 

(11 × 4) - 7 = 44 - 7 = 37

Similarly,

15 : ? → 

(15 × 4) - 7 = 60 - 7 = 53

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 3”.

Pattern: (First Number + 3)² - 63 = Second Number.

30 : 1026 → 

(30 + 3)² - 63 = (33)² - 63 = 1089 - 63 = 1026

Similarly,

34 : ? → 

(34 + 3)2 - 63 = (37)2 - 63 = 1369 - 63 = 1306

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 1”.

Here,

144, 248, 422 are Even numbers.

While,

189 is a odd number.

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 2”.

Here,

Watercolor, Acrylic, and Tempera are types of paints defined by their specific binders (gum arabic, acrylic polymer, and egg yolk, respectively). They are portable and can be applied to various surfaces like paper, canvas, or wood.

While,

Fresco is a mural painting technique where pigment is applied directly into freshly laid wet lime plaster. It is an architectural method integrated into a wall or ceiling rather than a standalone paint type.

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 4”.

Logic: Sum of positional values - 4

For the word PUMP:

Total Sum = 16 + 21 + 13 + 16 = 66

Code = 66 - 4 = 62

For the word CAR:

Total Sum = 3 + 1 + 18 = 22

Code = 22 - 4 = 18

Applying the same logic to the word CAMP:

Total Sum = 3 + 1 + 13 + 16 = 33

Code = 33 - 4 = 29

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 3”.

The logic followed here is :

A "Kitten" is the young one of a "Cat".

Similarly,

A "Foal" is the young one of a "Horse".

Hence, the correct answer is "option (1)".
