PYST 2: IB Security Assistant & MTS Official Paper - Logical Ability & Reasoning (Held On: 23 March, 2023 Shift 2) (Previous Year Paper)

The logic followed here is:

Jacket, Coat, and Blazer are all structured pieces of outerwear often featuring linings and formal designs,

Whereas,

A Sweater is typically a knitted or crocheted garment designed specifically for warmth.

So, the odd word is "Sweater".

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given: T 8 & W 8 # Q 6 R & P T & 6 Q 9 $ D 8 @ 7 H % Y 3 G 5 $ 9 %

Now,

Letters in the following string each of which is preceded by a symbol and followed by a number.

So, needed pattern is: Symbol - Letter - Number.

Here,

There are 'Four' letters which are preceded by a symbol and followed by a number.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

The position and positional values of English Alphabets are:

The logic followed here is:

For, ‘WAZZES’ is written as ‘ZYCXHQ'.

For, ‘PRFJKO’ is written as ‘SPIHNM’.

Similarly, for 'BOMBYX'

So, 'BOMBYX' will be coded as 'EMPZBV'.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

The logic followed here is:

So, 121 will complete the series.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

The logic followed here is:

'Polio' is a disease that primarily affects the 'Legs',

Similarly,

'Cataract' is a disease that primarily affects the 'Eyes'.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

Given Statement: P ≤ T < K = Y ≥ S ≥ E < L

Now,

Conclusions:

1. K > E → False (K = Y ≥ S ≥ E, this gives K ≥ E).

2. E = K → False (K = Y ≥ S ≥ E, this gives K ≥ E).

Here, both the conclusions are false but it forms the complementary pair for Either Or.

So, Either conclusion 1 or 2 is true.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

Additional Information Conditions of Either-or case:

1. The elements should be the same in both the statements.
2. Both the conclusions should be false individually.
3. One conclusion should be positive and one conclusion should be negative (Complementary pair)

The two complementary pairs are:

1. All + Some not

2. No + Some

Note: Some + Some not is not considered under Either - or case.

Given: A total of 102 students are lined up in a straight row.

Priya’s rank is 25^th from the top.

Kusum’s rank is 20^th from the bottom.

So, the students standing between Priya and Kusum = Total students - (Position of Priya + Position of Kusum)

= 102 - (25 + 20)

= 102 - 45

= 57.

So, there are '57' students standing between Priya and Kusum.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

Given: Mohit walks 120 m towards south.

Then turning to his right he walks 120 m.

Then turning to his left, he walks 90 m.

Again, he turns to his left and walks 120 m.

The distance between the Starting Point and the End Point = 210m.

Thus, He is 210m far from his initial position.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

The position and positional value of English Alphabets are:

For, ‘JSEV’ is written as ‘MUHX’

For, ‘AFRQ’ is written as ‘DHUS’

Similarly, for 'ZTHN'

So, 'ZTHN' will be written as 'CVKP'.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

BODMAS Rule:

According to the given question:

Now check all the options one by one:

Option 1) 48 ÷ 16 + 8 − 3 × 8 = 19

Interchanging signs as per given and using BODMAS Rule.

48 - 16 × 8 ÷ 3 + 8 = 19

48 - 16 × 2.6 + 8 = 19

48 - 41.6 + 8 = 19

56 - 41.6 = 19

14.4 ≠ 19.

Hence Option 1, is not correct.

Option 2) 48 × 16 - 8 + 3 ÷ 8 = 19

Interchanging signs as per given and using BODMAS Rule.

48 + 16 ÷ 8 × 3 - 8 = 19

48 + 2 × 3 - 8 = 19

48 + 6 - 8 = 19

54 - 8 = 19

46 ≠ 19.

Hence, Option 2, is not correct.

Option 3) 48 + 16 × 8 ÷ 3 − 8 = 19

Interchanging signs as per given and using BODMAS Rule.

48 × 16 + 8 - 3 ÷ 8 = 19

48 × 16 + 8 - 0.375 = 19

768 + 8 - 0.375 = 19 

776 - 0.375 = 19

775.625 ≠ 19

Hence, Option 3, is not correct.

Option 4) 48 − 16 ÷ 8 × 3 + 8 = 19

Interchanging signs as per given and using BODMAS Rule.

48 ÷ 16 - 8 + 3 × 8 = 19

3 - 8 + 3 × 8 = 19

3 - 8 + 24 = 19

27 - 8 = 19

19 = 19.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

The logic followed here is:

So, 100 is the missing number.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

The Position and Positional values of English Alphabets are :

The logic followed here is:

So, Q will complete the series.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

Given Statements:

1. All circles are squares.

2. Some squares are coloured.

3. Some circles are triangles.

The least possible Venn Diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. Some Square are Triangles - True (Because, All circle are square and some circle and triangle thus, so those part of circle which is triangle is also Square).

II. Some Circle are Coloured - False (Because, no definite relation given between Circle and Coloured, so it can be possible only).

III. Some Square are Circle - True (Because, All Circle are Square it also gives Some Square are Circle).

So, Both conclusions I and III follows.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

Given: Eight friends (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H) sit around a circular table, all of them facing the centre.

Only three people sit between G and D.

D sits second to the right of F.

C is a neighbour of D.

H sits second to the right of C.

Case I:

Case II:

A sits third to the left of B and neighbour of H.

E and A are not immediate neighbours of each other.

Case I:

E and A are not immediate neighbours of each other, (This statement cancels the possibility of Case I, so considering Case II).

Now considering the Case II:

Here, F sits between B and E.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

Given Equation: 29 + 93 ÷ 81 × 9 - 18

BODMAS Rule:

Decoding the Given Information:

Now replacing the sign from left to right using BODMAS Rule, we get:

New Equation: 29 - 93 + 81 ÷ 9 × 18

Calculation:

⇒ 29 - 93 + 81 ÷ 9 × 18

⇒ 29 - 93 + 9 × 18

⇒ 29 - 93 + 162 

⇒ 191 - 93 = 98.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

Given: 6 K 5 % L T 8 B 4 G 9 # E Q 7 G 5 $ 9 % U P 3 T 8 & W H 6 R

Now,

Numbers which are not Followed by a symbol.

Here,

There are Six numbers which are not followed by a symbol.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.$

Family Chart:

Given: Sahil is father of Akshita and Raj is son of Roohi.

Aman is brother of Sahil.

Akshita is sister of Raj.

So, Roohi is Wife of Aman's Brother.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

Given: K, L, M, N, O, P, S are seven friends siting in a row facing north.

The one who sits fourth to the left of S, sits at one of the extreme ends of the row.

N is an immediate neighbour of both P and S.

Case I:

Case II:

K sits fourth to the right of M (This statement cancels the possibility of Case I, so considering Case II).

L sits to the immediate right of K.

And, O sits at the remaining place (Extreme left end).

Case II:

Here, N sits fourth from the right end of the row.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

The logic followed here is:

Rank of Karishma from the left end = 16^th

Rank of Karishma from the right end = 18^th

Total number of student in the row = Rank of Karishma from the left end + Rank of Karishma from the right end - 1.

= 16 + 18 - 1 

= 34 - 1

= 33.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

The logic followed here is:

Logic: The second word is the primary fuel for the first word.

Here,

Airplane : Aviation Kerosene → Aviation Kerosene is the primary fuel for Airplane.

Similarly,

Car : Petroleum → Petroleum is the primary fuel for Car.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
