Reasoning PYQs

Given: Anika starts from point R.

1. Anika starts from point R and travels 25 km towards the North.
2. Then she turns right and travels 20 km.
3. After that, she again turns right and travels 35 km, reaching point Q.
4. From point Q, she moves east for 40 km and reaches point Z.
5. From there, she takes a left turn and travels 30 km to reach point K.
6. Finally, from point K, she turns left again and travels 50 km to reach her final point M.

This is our final arrangement,

Hence, the correct answer is North-East.

Statements:

A ≥ D < H, M > R = A

After combining,

M > R = A ≥ D < H

Conclusions:

I. R ≥ H: False (R = A ≥ D < H; opposite signs between the elements)

II. M > D: True (M > R = A ≥ D; M > D)

Hence, the correct answer is Only conclusion II follows.

Statements:

Z ≥ B ≥ F > L > C; F ≥ T = U; L > E ≥ G

Conclusions:

I. Z > G: True (Z ≥ B ≥ F > L > E ≥ G; Z > G)

II. B ≥ E: False (B ≥ F > L > E; B > E)

Hence, the correct answer is Only conclusion I follows.

Statements:

P < K = N < S; V > X ≥ S < J; Q < Y < X

Conclusions:
