Reasoning PYQs

Given

Statement:

"black is cool color" is coded as "ku lo si ri"

"beige furniture is boring" is coded as "xo fi lo bo"

"some movie is black" is coded as "ko vi lo ku"

"some black is cool" is coded as "ko ku lo si"

We get:

is – lo

some - ko

black - ku

cool - si

The codes for ‘movie’, ' boring', and ‘color’ is determined by elimination, i.e. all the other codes in the sentence are determined:

movie - vi

color – ri

We can not clearly determine the codes for ‘beige’ and ‘furniture’:

beige – xo/fi/bo

furniture – xo/fi/bo

boring - xo/fi/bo

Hence, the code for 'movie' is vi.

Statement:

"black is cool color" is coded as "ku lo si ri"

"beige furniture is boring" is coded as "xo fi lo bo"

"some movie is black" is coded as "ko vi lo ku"

"some black is cool" is coded as "ko ku lo si"

We get:

is – lo

some - ko

black - ku

cool - si

The codes for ‘movie’, ' boring', and ‘color’ is determined by elimination, i.e. all the other codes in the sentence are determined:

movie - vi

color – ri

We can not clearly determine the codes for ‘beige’ and ‘furniture’:

beige – xo/fi/bo

furniture – xo/fi/bo

boring - xo/fi/bo

Since the code for furniture is not defined.

Hence, the code for furniture will either be fi or xo.

Given: Seven persons read different number of articles in a particular day.

Based on the given conditions, we get the following possibilities-

1. Only one person reads more articles than R. The number of persons who read more articles than Y is equal to the number of persons who read less articles than Y. From these, we get-

 

2. S reads more articles than Y but less than R. S reads 10 articles. From these, we get-

 

3. Only one person reads less articles than E. B reads the least number of articles. F reads more than E but less than Y. From these, we get the final table as follows-

 

From the above final table, we see that person Y read the fourth highest number of articles in a day.

Hence, person Y read the fourth highest.
