PYST 6: IB Security Assistant & MTS Official Paper - Logical Ability & Reasoning (Held On: 24 March, 2023 Shift 3) (Previous Year Paper)

Given: There are six boxes, namely P, Q, R, S, T, U, which are kept one above the other.

There are only 2 boxes between R and U.

T is kept immediately above U.

T is not at the topmost or at the lowermost position.

R is neither kept immediately above nor immediately below T.

P is above U.

R is kept immediately above P.

 

Only two boxes are kept between T and S.

U is kept at one of the positions above S.

Q is kept immediately above S.

So, Q is kept immediately below U.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

Given: Seven boxes – A, B, C, D, E, F and G are kept one above the other in a stack.

G is kept at the bottommost position.

E is kept third from the bottom.

A is kept immediately above G.

There are 2 boxes between F and A.

B is kept immediately above D.

Here, Only One Box is kept between E and F.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

Given:

‘greater than person’ is written as 476

‘there is no greater’ is written as 8243

‘no person is right’ is written as 2817

‘disability no greater’ is written as 548

Here,

'7' is the code for 'Person'

'8' is the code for 'No'

'2' is the code for 'Is'

'1' is the code for 'Right'.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

The logic followed here is:

Option 1) GINNMIPP

I M P I G I E / I M P N N G E / I M M I N G E / I P P I N G E → Does not follow pattern.

Option 2) GNNIMIPP

I M P I G N E / I M P N I G E / I M M I N G E / I P P I N G E → Does not follow pattern.

Option 3) NGINPIMP

I M P I N G E / I M P I N G E / I M P I N G E/ I M P I N G E → Follows a pattern of IMPINGE.

Option 4) GNNIPIMP

I M P I G N E / I M P N I G E / I M P I N G E / I M P I N G E → Does not follow pattern. 

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

We can see, there is a series of 7 letters which are repeating itself.

IMPI_ E / IMP _ GE / IM_ _ NGE / I_ _ INGE

So, 

First letter = I

Second letter = M

Third letter = P

Fourth letter = I

Fifth letter = N

Sixth letter = G

Seventh letter = E

So, Series will be:

IMPI N G E / IMP I N GE / IM P I NGE / I M P INGE

So, the missing terms are:

NGINPIMP

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.

Family Chart:

Given: A, B, C, D, E and F are six members in a family.

The family consists of two married couples.

The family members are a lawyer, teacher, businessman, engineer, accountant and doctor.

A, the lady teacher, is married to the businessman.

The lawyer is married to B, who is a doctor.

F, the accountant, is the son of B and the brother of E.

C, the lawyer, is the daughter-in-law of A.

E is the unmarried engineer.

A’s son’s son is F.

So, D is Paternal Grandfather of F.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

BODMAS Table:

Given: 48.09% of 1698 + 59% of 2387.98 − ? = 1225

Taking Approximate Values,

⇒ 48% of 1700 + 59% of 2388 - ? = 1225

⇒ 48 × 17 + 59 × 23.88 - ? = 1225

⇒ 816 + 1409 - ? = 1225

⇒ 2225 - ? = 1225

⇒ ? = 2225 - 1225

⇒ ? = 1000.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

Given: 1^st January 1997 was a Wednesday.

Now, 24^th June 1997 will be on:

Number of Odd Days between 1 January 1997 and 24 June 1997, As 28 days of a month = 4 weeks 

Then, days more than or extra from these 28 days in a month will be considered.

=  2(Jan) + 0 (Feb) + 3 (March) + 2(April) + 3(May) + 24 (June) = 34 days

= 34 days = 34/7 = 4 weeks and 6 odd days

So, 24 June 1997 will be on =  Wednesday + 6 days = Tuesday.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

The position and positional values of English Alphabets are:

Let's check each option One by One:

Option 1) KJM - PQN

Option 2) DCF - WXU

Option 3) QPR -  KJI

Option 4) GFI - TUR

So, QPR -KJI is odd among the given Options.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

Given Equation: 16 × 25 ÷ (121 − 11) = 389

BODMAS Table:

Let's check each option One by One:

Option 1) (+ and -)

Given: 16 × 25 ÷ (121 − 11) = 389

After interchanging the signs we get:

16 × 25 ÷ (121 + 11) = 389

16 × 25 ÷ 132 = 389

16 × 0.18 = 389

3.03 ≠ 389.

Option 2) (− and ×)

Given: 16 × 25 ÷ (121 − 11) = 389

After interchanging the signs we get:

16 - 25 ÷ (121 × 11) = 389

16 - 25 ÷ 1331 = 389

16 - 0.018 = 389

15.98 ≠ 389.

Option 3) (× and ÷)

Given: 16 × 25 ÷ (121 − 11) = 389

After interchanging the signs we get:

16 ÷ 25 × (121 − 11) = 389

16 ÷ 25 × 110 = 389

0.64 × 110 = 389

70.4  ≠ 389. 

Option 4) (− and ÷)

Given: 16 × 25 ÷ (121 − 11) = 389

After interchanging the signs we get:

16 × 25 - (121 ÷ 11) = 389

16 × 25 - 11 = 389

400 - 11 = 389

389 = 389.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

Given: Q walks 100 m towards the north.

Then he turns right and walks 150 m.

Then he turns right and walks 170 m.

Then he turns left and walks 80 m.

Finally, he turns left and walks 70 m.

The distance between starting and ending point = 150m + 80m = 230m.

So, Q is in the 230m towards the East direction from starting point.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

According to the given Venn Diagram:

The shaded are in the diagram represents teachers who are also players and musicians.

So, the number of teachers who are also players and musicians = 5.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

The position and positional values of English Alphabets are:

The logic followed here is:

For, JHL : MKO

For, PNR : SQU

Let's check each Option One by One:

Option 1) VTS : YWV

Option 2) ZXC : VUX

Option 3) WUX : YXB

Option 4) WTX : ZXA

So, Only VTS : YWV is similar to the given letter clusters.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

The logic followed here is :

So, 5120 will complete the series.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

Given: 

 

Given Word: 'BEAUTIFUL'

Here, Rule No. 2 Applies, If there are more than two vowels in a word, then the first vowel is to be coded as 1. the second vowel as 2 and so on.

So, the code for the word BEAUTIFUL is : '% 1 2 3 @ 4 ! 5 8'

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

The logic followed here is:

So, 96 will complete the series.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

Given: Eight people E, F, G, H, J, K, L and M are sitting around a circular table facing the centre but not necessarily in the same order.

F is sitting second to the left of K.

G is to the immediate left of F.

H is an immediate neighbour of K.

There are only three people sitting between H and E.

Only one person sits between L and E.

M is sitting to the immediate right of the L.

So, L sits second to the right of H.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

Given statements: Z < S < E = J, J ≥ T > G = V

After combining, we get: Z < S < E = J ≥ T > G = V

Conclusions:

I. V < E → True (Z < S < E = J ≥ T > G = V it gives E > V).

II. T > Z → False (Z < S < E = J ≥ T > G = V No definite relation can be established)

So, Only conclusion I is true.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

The position and positional value of English Alphabets are:

The logic followed here is:

(First Letter - 3 → Number + 6 →Last letter +3)

Now,

S16H is related to P22K.

M28N is related to J34Q.

Similarly,K32P will be:

So, K32P will be related to H38S.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

Given: Nine persons – C, D, B, A, J, F, G, H and K – are sitting in a straight line facing north, but not necessarily in the same order.

K sits fifth to the right of A.

Only three people sit between J and A. 

F sits fourth to the right of C and second to the left of K.

G sits second to the right of C.

B sits fourth to the left of G.

D is neither an immediate neighbour of K nor B.

So, G sits third to the right of H.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

Given: (Left) 65 67 87 86 & 43 32 37 @ 27 % 29 76 71 49 $ 52 23 # (Right)

8^th Number from left end = 27

5^th Number from right end = 76

Sum of 8^th Number from left and 5^th from right end = 27 + 76

= 103.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.$
