Reasoning PYQs

Here,

• Lentils, Chickpeas, and Soybeans are commonly classified as pulses/legumes consumed primarily as pulses.

Whereas,

• Peanuts, although botanically a legume, are generally classified and used as an oilseed/nut crop rather than a pulse. 

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 3”.

Given equation: 64 − 8 × 9 ÷ 8 = 64

Let's check each option one by one:

Option 1) × and −

After interchange:

64 × 8 − 9 ÷ 8 = 64

⇒ 512 − 1.125

⇒ 510.875

Since 510.875 ≠ 64, this option is incorrect.

Option 2) ÷ and ×

After interchange:

64 − 8 ÷ 9 × 8 = 64

⇒ 64 − 8 ÷ 9 × 8

⇒ 64 − 7.111...

⇒ 56.889...

Since 56.889... ≠ 64, this option is incorrect.

Option 3) × and +

There is no + sign in the given equation, so interchange is not possible.

Hence, this option is incorrect.

Option 4) − and +

After interchange:

64 + 8 × 9 ÷ 8 = 64

⇒ 64 + 8 × 9 ÷ 8

⇒ 64 + 9

⇒ 73

Since 73 ≠ 64, this option is incorrect.

Hence, none of the given interchanges makes the equation correct.

Answer: None of the options

Given:

Let's check each option one by one using BODMAS:

Option 1) 15÷5×2−6+3=28

15 − 5 + 2 × 6 ÷ 3 = 28

⇒ 15 − 5 + 2 × 6 ÷ 3

⇒ 15 − 5 + 12 ÷ 3

⇒ 15 − 5 + 4

⇒ 10 + 4

⇒ 14 ≠ 28 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option 2) 15×5+2−6+3=56.5

15 + 5 ÷ 2 × 6 ÷ 3 = 56.5

⇒ 15 + 5 ÷ 2 × 6 ÷ 3

⇒ 15 + 2.5 × 6 ÷ 3

⇒ 15 + 15 ÷ 3

⇒ 15 + 5

⇒ 20 ≠ 56.5 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option 3) 15+5−2÷6×3=3

15 ÷ 5 × 2 − 6 + 3 = 3

⇒ 15 ÷ 5 × 2 − 6 + 3

⇒ 3 × 2 − 6 + 3

⇒ 6 − 6 + 3

⇒ 0 + 3

⇒ 3 = 3 (LHS = RHS)

Option 4) 15−5+2×6÷3=43

15 × 5 ÷ 2 + 6 − 3 = 43

⇒ 15 × 5 ÷ 2 + 6 − 3

⇒ 75 ÷ 2 + 6 − 3

⇒ 37.5 + 6 − 3

⇒ 43.5 − 3

⇒ 40.5 ≠ 43 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.

'N' is coded as '28',

'G' is coded as '14',

'V' is coded as '44' 

'DUST' in the same coded language,

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 4”.

BAT is coded as 2012 →

Similarly,

let's find the code for GATE:

Therefore, the code for 'GATE' is 52017.

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 1”.

'OVERLAY' is written as 'YALREVO'.

Similarly,

'MOBILE' in that code language,

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 2”.

P - 2 = N

N - 2 = L

L - 2 = J

J - 2 = H

H - 2 = F

F - 2 = D

D - 2 = B

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 4”.

Logic followed here is,

10 × 2 = 20

20 × 3 = 60

60 × 2 = 120

120 × 3 = 360

360 × 2 = 720

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 1”.

JLNP : OQSU

Similarly,

SIRT : ?

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 1”.

The logic followed here is :

A "Bird" lives in a "Nest".

Similarly,

A "Bee" lives in a "Hive".

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

Additional Information 

Pattern followed here is,

Similarly,

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 2”.

There is no common face in both designs of dice.

Any of the face from dice 1 is opposite to any of the face from dice 2.

So,

Element can be on opposite surface of the surface having 1 is 4 or 5 or 6.

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 4”.

Mirror image of the given figure,

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 2”.

Given:

Cost Price (CP) of 10 books = ₹250

Number of books to find CP for = 18

Formula used:

Cost of n items = (Total Cost ÷ Total Quantity) × n

⇒ Cost of 1 book = 250 ÷ 10

⇒ Cost of 1 book = ₹25

⇒ Cost of 18 books = 18 × 25

⇒ Cost of 18 books = ₹450

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 1”.

Given:

We need to check which equation is correct by replacing the symbols and applying BODMAS.

Option 1) 3 W 3 X 3 Y 3 = 41

3 + 3 - 3 × 3 = 41

⇒ 3 + 3 - 3 × 3

⇒ 3 + 3 - 9

⇒ 6 - 9

⇒ -3 ≠ 41

Since LHS ≠ RHS, this option is incorrect.

Option 2) 9 Y 8 X 7 Z 9 = 17

9 × 8 - 7 ÷ 9 = 17

⇒ 9 × 8 - 7 ÷ 9

⇒ 72 - 0.78

⇒ 71.22 ≠ 17

Since LHS ≠ RHS, this option is incorrect.

Option 3) 8 X 6 Z 4 Y 3 = 15

8 - 6 ÷ 4 × 3 = 15

⇒ 8 - 6 ÷ 4 × 3

⇒ 8 - 1.5 × 3

⇒ 8 - 1.5 × 3

⇒ 8 - 4.5

⇒ 3.5 ≠ 15

Since LHS ≠ RHS, this option is incorrect.

Option 4) 6 W 7 X 9 Y 8 = -59

6 + 7 - 9 × 8 = -59

⇒ 6 + 7 - 9 × 8

⇒ 6 + 7 - 72

⇒ 13 - 72

⇒ -59 = -59

Since LHS = RHS, this option is correct.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

From both the positions,

9 and 10 are common in both positions.

Remaining, 12 is opposite to 8.

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 4”.

Pattern followed here is,

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 1”.

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 2”.

Given: p_qqp_ _q_ppq_qp

(1) q, p, q, p, q → pqqqp/ pqqpp/ pqqqp (Does not repeat any pattern).

(2) q, p, q, q, q → pqqqp/ pqqqp/ pqqqp (Follow pattern "pqqqp")

(3) p, q, p, p, q → ppqqp/ qpqpp/ pqqqp (Does not repeat any pattern)

(4) p, p, q, q, p → ppqqp/ pqqqp/ pqpqp (Does not repeat any pattern)

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 2”.

Pattern followed here is,

Similarly,

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 2”.
