PYST 7: IB MTS/General Official Paper - Logical Ability & Reasoning (Held On: 20 Dec, 2023 Shift 1) (Previous Year Paper)

The correct order of words as they would appear in the English dictionary is:

4. Attack 1. Attain 5. Attemt 2. Attend 5. Attest

Thus, The correct order is 4,1,3,2,5.

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

Given: 6 boxes B1, B2, B3, B4, B5 and B6 are kept one above the other but not necessarily in the same order.

1. B4 is kept at second place from top.

2) Only two boxes are kept below B1.

3. Only B5 is kept below B2.

4)  B6 is kept above B3.

So, there is 'No' boxes are there between B1 and B2.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

Now, checking the given options:

Option 1) TVY

Option 2) HJM

Option 3) OQT

Option 4) ABE

Thus, ABE is the odd one from  the rest.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

Given: 

Raju walks 45 km towards East.

He turns right and walks 35 km.

He again turns right and walks 45 km.

So, His starting point is 35 km, North from the finishing point.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The positions of the letters according to the English alphabet series:

The pattern for this is as follows;

For, TN : VM

Similarly, ZL : ? 

Thus,  ZL : BK is the correct pair.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

Family Chart:

Decoding the Symbols:

Given: M – K × F + D ÷ N × R

It means:

M is the Father of K.

K is the Mother of F.

F is the Brother of D.

D is the Sister of N.

N is the Mother of R.

So, K is the Mother of D.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: ( a + b) − c + d

Now, 15 A 35 B 40 C 50 = 60

(15+35)−40+50=50−40+50=10+50=60

For, 20 A 18 B 24 C 28 = 42

(20+18)−24+28=38−24+28=14+28=42

Similarly, For 70 A 18 B 35 C 48 = ?

(70+18)−35+48 = 101

Thus,  70 A 18 B 35 C 48 = 101

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

Given Statements:

I. Some land are hard.

II. No stone is hard.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. All stone are land:

The statements define the relationship between Land and Hard, and Stone and Hard.

They give no information about the direct relationship between Stone and Land.

Conclusion I does not follow.

II. Some hard are land:

This conclusion is an immediate and definite inference (conversion) from Statement I (Some land are hard).

The statement "Some A are B" can always be converted to "Some B are A."

Conclusion II follows.

So, Only conclusion II follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

**Given:**Five friends P, B, C, G and H are sitting around a circular table facing towards the centre (not necessarily in the same order).

1. B is second to the left of H.

2. G is the neighbour of B and H.

3. C is not the neighbour of B.

Thus, G is second to the left of C

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Code = (Sum of letter positions) ÷ 4

For, ‘KMENY’ is written as ‘17’

Letters: K(11) + M(13) + E(5) + N(14) + Y(25)

Sum = 11 + 13 + 5 + 14 + 25 = 68

68 ÷ 4 = 17

For, ‘YTAMU’ is written as ‘20’’

Y(25) + T(20) + A(1) + M(13) + U(21)

Sum = 25 + 20 + 1 + 13 + 21 = 80

80 ÷ 4 = 20

Similarly, For NSDJQ

N(14) + S(19) + D(4) + J(10) + Q(17)

Sum = 14 + 19 + 4 + 10 + 17 = 64

64 ÷ 4 = 16

So, NSDJQ coded as 16 in the given language.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

So, LYX will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given: Eight girls A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are sitting around a circular table facing towards the centre (not necessarily in the same order).

1. A is second to the left of D.

2. D is third to the left of E.

3. C is third to the right of G.

4. G is not the immediate neighbour of E.

5) H is third to the right of B.

6) B is second to the right of G.

Thus, E is sitting on the immediate right of C.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

Now, 51 * 16 @ 18 # 25 = 24

(51+16)−(18+25)

→ 67−43= 24

For,  58 * 20 @ 24 # 46 = 8

(58+20)−(24+46)

→ 78 − 70 = 8

Similarly, For  45 * 55 @ 10 # 20 = ?

(45+55)−(10+20)

→ 100 − 30 = 70

Thus,  45 * 55 @ 10 # 20 = 70

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

The logic followed here is:

thus, "-24" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 1".

The correct order of words as they would appear in the English dictionary is:

4. Technic 1. Technical 5. Technician 3. Technique 2. Technology

Thus, the fifth word in the dictionary order is Technology.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option (2)".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: E: '+' , F: '+', G: '×'

Now, For 10 E 12 F 8 G 18 = 166 

→ 8×18 = 144

→ 12 + 144 = 156

→ 10 + 156 = 166

For, 154 E 50 F 20 G 15 = 504

→ 20×15 = 300

→ 50 + 300 = 350

→ 154 + 350 = 504

Similarly, For  25 E 7 F 12 G 11 = ?

→ 12 × 11 = 132

→ 7 + 132 = 139

→ 25 + 139 = 164

Thus, 25 E 7 F 12 G 11 = 164

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

The logic followed here is:

For, ‘FASTER’ is written as ‘GZTSFQ’

Similarly, for ‘FLAVOR’

So, ‘FLAVOR’ will be written as GKBUPQ.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given Statements:

I. No J is M.

II. Some M are P.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. Some P are not J:

From Statement II, we know there is a portion of P that is M.

From Statement I, we know that nothing that is M can be J.

Conclusion I follows. 

II. Some P are M:

This conclusion is an immediate and definite inference (conversion) from Statement II (Some M are P).

The statement "Some A are B" can always be converted to "Some B are A."

Conclusion II follows.

So, Both conclusions I and II follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The correct order of words as they would appear in the English dictionary is:

4. Suspect 2. Suspend 3. Suspense 1. Suspension 5. Suspensive

Thus, the fifth word in the dictionary order is Suspensive.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option (3)".

Given: Seven boxes B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6 and B7 are placed one above the other.

1. Only two boxes are placed above box B4.

2) Only one box is placed between box B7 and B4.

3. As many as boxes are placed between box B7 and B5 as between box B5 and B1.

4)  Three boxes are placed between box B2 and B3.

5) B2 is placed above B3.

So, there is 'No' box are there between B2 and B7.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
