Reasoning PYQs

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows:

Conclusions:

I. Some Walnuts are Cashews.  → True (Since, from the above diagram it is obvious. Hence, follows).

II. At least some Cashews being Almonds is a possibility. → True (Since, there is no direct relation between the two is given so it is not definite but possible. Hence, follows)

Hence, the correct answer is Both conclusions I and II follow.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows:

Conclusions:

I. Some Two are Four. → True (Since, from the above diagram it is clear. Hence, follows).

II. Some Eight are Six. → False (Since, there is no direct relation between the two is given it can be possible but not definite. Hence, does not follow).

Hence, the correct answer is Only conclusion I follows.

The least possible Venn Diagram for the given statements is as follows:

Conclusions:

I. Some Trolleys are Bags.  →  False (Since, there is no direct relation between trolleys and bags is given. Hence, does not follow).

II. Some Basket are Carrybags.  → False (Since, there is no direct relation between Basket and Carrybags is given. Hence, does not follow).

Hence, the correct answer is neither conclusion I nor II follows.

1. Ashu starts walking from point A towards east direction for 8 Km and reaches at point B.

2. He takes a left turn and walks for 3 Km and reaches at point C.

3. From here, he takes a left turn after walking for 4 Km he reaches at point D. 

4) After that he takes another left turn and walks for 7 Km to reach at point E.

5. Then he takes again a left turn and walks for 6 Km to reach at point F.

6. There after he takes one more left turn and walks for 4 Km to reach at point G. Hence, the final arrangement is as follows

Since, total distance from B to point E = distance between point B and point C + distance between point C and point D + distance between point D and point E.

Total distance = 3 Km + 4 Km + 7 Km = 14 Km

Hence, the total distance between point B and point E is 14 Km.
