Reasoning PYQs

From the given information,

1. Numbers of males is equal to number of females. (4 males, 4 females)

2. F’s sister’s father is the only son of G and G is the only daughter of Z. (G is the daughter of Z and also the grandmother of F)

3. Q is the son of A and A is the son-in-law of P. (A is the father of Q)

4. Gender of P and D is same.

 

Hence, G is the grandmother of F.

Given Word: BINOCULARS

Word formed from letter which is at first, third, fifth, eight position = BNCA

No meaningful word can be formed from ‘BNCA’.

Hence, ‘X’ is correct answer.

Here, persons are A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H.

1. E lives two floors above D.

2. There is a gap of one floor between C and D and lives on the same flat.

 

3. F lives to southeast of A.

4. H lives to the Northwest of F. Therefore, case 2 is eliminated.

 

5. G and B lives on same flats of different floors.

6. The number of floors above H is one less than that of below G.

7. G does not live to Northeast of C. Therefore, case 1(b) is eliminated. Hence, the final arrangement is as follows

 

Since, B lives on Flat 2 of Floor 4 so no one lives to the east of him.

Hence, the correct answer is None.

Here, persons are A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H.

1. E lives two floors above D.

2. There is a gap of one floor between C and D and lives on the same flat.

 

3. F lives to southeast of A.

4. H lives to the Northwest of F. Therefore, case 2 is eliminated.

 

5. G and B lives on same flats of different floors.

6. The number of floors above H is one less than that of below G.

7. G does not live to Northeast of C. Therefore, case 1(b) is eliminated. Hence, the final arrangement is as follows

 

Since, each person except D lives on Flat 2 whereas D lives on Flat 1.

Hence, the odd one is D.

Here, persons are A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H.

1. E lives two floors above D.

2. There is a gap of one floor between C and D and lives on the same flat.

 

3. F lives to southeast of A.

4. H lives to the Northwest of F. Therefore, case 2 is eliminated.

 

5. G and B lives on same flats of different floors.

6. The number of floors above H is one less than that of below G.

7. G does not live to Northeast of C. Therefore, case 1(b) is eliminated. Hence, the final arrangement is as follows

 

Since, D and F lives on same floors. Therefore, statement first is incorrect.

B lives to the Northeast of A. Therefore, statement second is correct.

C lives on Flat 1 of Floor 3. Therefore, statement third is incorrect.

G lives on Flat 2 of Floor 2. Therefore, statement fourth is correct.

Hence, the correct answer is both 2 and 4.

Here, persons are A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H.

1. E lives two floors above D.

2. There is a gap of one floor between C and D and lives on the same flat.

 

3. F lives to southeast of A.

4. H lives to the Northwest of F. Therefore, case 2 is eliminated.

 

5. G and B lives on same flats of different floors.

6. The number of floors above H is one less than that of below G.

7. G does not live to Northeast of C. Therefore, case 1(b) is eliminated. Hence, the final arrangement is as follows

 

Hence, CE lives on Floor 3.

Here, persons are A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H.

1. E lives two floors above D.

2. There is a gap of one floor between C and D and lives on the same flat.

 

3. F lives to southeast of A.

4. H lives to the Northwest of F. Therefore, case 2 is eliminated.

 

5. G and B lives on same flats of different floors.

6. The number of floors above H is one less than that of below G.

7. G does not live to Northeast of C. Therefore, case 1(b) is eliminated. Hence, the final arrangement is as follows

 

Since, C lives to west of E. Therefore, statement A is correct.

H lives on Flat 1 of Floor 4. Therefore, statement B is correct.

D lives just below the floor of A. Therefore, statement C is correct.

Hence, the answer is None of these.

Here, persons are O, R, T, V, W and X.

1. Only one person is heavier than R.

2. R is heavier than both X and W.

3. The weight of second heaviest person is 65 Kg. Therefore, R = 65 Kg.

            >  R  >  X,  W

4. T is heavier than O.

5. Not more than two persons are lighter than T.

6. W is not the lightest person among all.

Case – 1

                   >  R   >      >   T    >       >         

Case – 2

                  >  R   >      >        >   T   >   O

7. V is not lighter than X.

8. W is not heavier than T. Therefore, case 2 is eliminated. Hence, the final arrangement is as follows

                V   >   R    >    X    >   T   >   W   >  O

                         65 Kg             

Since, V is the heaviest person among all so his weight must be more than R whose weight is 65 Kg.

Hence, the correct answer is 68 Kg.

Here, persons are O, R, T, V, W and X.

1. Only one person is heavier than R.

2. R is heavier than both X and W.

3. The weight of second heaviest person is 65 Kg. Therefore, R = 65 Kg.

            >  R  >  X,  W

4. T is heavier than O.

5. Not more than two persons are lighter than T.

6. W is not the lightest person among all.

Case – 1

                   >  R   >      >   T    >       >         

Case – 2

                  >  R   >      >        >   T   >   O

7. V is not lighter than X.

8. W is not heavier than T. Therefore, case 2 is eliminated. Hence, the final arrangement is as follows

                V   >   R    >    X    >   T   >   W   >  O        

                         65 Kg

Hence, V is the heaviest person among all.

Here, persons are O, R, T, V, W and X.

1. Only one person is heavier than R.

2. R is heavier than both X and W.

3. The weight of second heaviest person is 65 Kg. Therefore, R = 65 Kg.

            >  R  >  X,  W

4. T is heavier than O.

5. Not more than two persons are lighter than T.

6. W is not the lightest person among all.

Case – 1

                   >  R   >      >   T    >       >         

Case – 2

                  >  R   >      >        >   T   >   O

7. V is not lighter than X.

8. W is not heavier than T. Therefore, case 2 is eliminated. Hence, the final arrangement is as follows

                V   >   R    >    X    >   T   >   W   >  O      

                         65 Kg

Since, R is heavier than T but X is just heavier than T and lighter than R. Therefore, statement A is incorrect.

Only O is lighter than W. Therefore, statement B is incorrect.

W is lighter than V. Therefore, statement C is incorrect.

Hence, the incorrect statements are all of these.
