Reasoning PYQs

Given: There are six persons, namely, G, H, I, J, K, and L, designated at six different posts in an organization: Director, Deputy Director, Supervisor, Coordinator, Analyst, and HR Officer. They belong to six different states, Punjab, Odisha, Bihar, Karnataka, Assam, and Kerala, and like six different games, Chess, Volleyball, Cricket, Tennis, Kabaddi, and Hockey, but not necessarily in the same order.

1. L is designated three positions junior to the person who belongs to Kerala and immediately senior to the person who likes Tennis.

Here, we have 2 Cases, i.e., Case 1 and Case 2.

 

2. One person is designated between the persons who like Tennis and Cricket. 3. No person is designated between the person who likes Cricket and the person who belongs to Bihar.

 

4. Two persons are designated between the person who belongs to Bihar and the person who likes Hockey.

 

5. J is designated immediate junior to the person who likes Hockey and senior to G.
6. The person from Odisha is designated three persons senior to G.

Here, we have 2 subcases of Case 1 and Case 2.

 

 

7. I is designated junior to the Deputy Director. 8. Two persons are designated between I and the person who belongs to Karnataka, where I is junior to the person who belongs to Karnataka.

 

 

9. K is three positions senior to the person from Assam and does not like Volleyball.

Given number: 5937482615

 

Sum = 2 + 3 = 5

Hence, the correct answer is 5.

Statement I: Point Y is to the east of Z. Point X is 10m north of Y. Point P is 4m west of X.

We don't know the distance between Y and Z, so we can't decide whether point P is in the north-east or the north-west with respect to point Z.

Statement II: Point Z is to the west of X. Point Z is 5m south of W. Point X is 7m north of B. Point B is east of P.

We don't know the distance between X and Z, and B and P, so we can't decide whether point P is in the south-east or the south-west with respect to point Z.

Hence, the correct answer is Data in both statements I and II together are not sufficient.

Statement I: Two books are placed between D and F. As many books are above D as below C. C is adjacent to B. A is placed above E.

Here, we have 4 Cases, i.e., Case 1, Case 2, Case 3, and Case 4.

 

Statement II: Only two books are placed below A. One book is placed between C and A. The number of books above C is the same as the number of books below F. E is placed below B but above D. D is not placed at the bottommost position.

 

So, Book D is 5^th from the top.

Hence, the correct answer is Data in statement II alone are sufficient.

Statement I: Q sits second to the left of R. P sits to the right of Q. V sits at the extreme left end. Q sits third to the right of V.

Statement II: T is an immediate neighbour of Q. S sits to the left of T. P is not an immediate neighbour of S and does not sit at any extreme end.

From I and II,

So, T sits third to the left of R.

Hence, the correct answer is Data in both statements I and II together are sufficient.

Logic:

Digits: Total number of distinct consonants (repeated consonants counted only once) is taken.

Symbols: If the number of letters present in the word is coded as symbols.

8 then it is coded as $

7 then it is coded as #

6 then it is coded as &

5 then it is coded as %

4 then it is coded as @

The code for "Elephant" is "$5".

Hence, the correct answer is **$5.**$
