Reasoning PYQs

Here persons on row 1 A, B, C, D, E, F, G faces North direction and persons on row 2 P, Q, R, S, T, U, V faces towards South direction.

1. Only C sits adjacent to A.

2. Three persons sit between A and the person who sits opposite to T.  

3. Neither E nor B sits at extreme end.

4. E sits third to the right of B.

5. Neither F nor D faces T or Q.

6. Q sits adjacent to the person who sits opposite to G.

7. P sits immediate left to the person who faces D. Therefore, case 2 is eliminated.

8. U sits second to the right of R.

9. V sits to the right of S. Hence, the final arrangement is as follows

Since, D faces U and R sits second to the left of U and R faces C.

Hence, the correct answer is C.

Pairs in the Forward direction → 4 - 6, 3 - 9, 6 - 8, 4 - 8.

Pairs in the Backward direction → 3 - 5, 1 - 3, 1 - 4, 3 - 4.

Hence, there are eight such pairs.

Given

Statement:

K > V > S ≥ R ≥ L < M < H < E = C ≤ T ≤ V

Conclusions:

I. S > C → False (As  S ≥ R ≥ L < M < H < E = C, So relation cannot be determined between S and C. Hence, does not follow).

II. G > M → True (Hence, follows.).

Hence, Only conclusion II follows

Given

Statements:

A ≥ F, G > R, M < O, F > R, G ≤ S, T ≤ A, U ≥ L, M ≥ T

Conclusions:

I. A > G → False (As G > R < F ≤ A, So relation cannot be determined between the two. Hence, does not follow) 

II. G ≤ A → False (As G > R < F ≤ A, So relation cannot be determined between the two. Hence, does not follow) 

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

Given

Statement:

G < Q < N ≤ V ≤ X = B < D > P ≥ W ≥ Y

Conclusions:

I. P > Q  → False (As Q < N ≤ V ≤ X = B < D > P, So relation cannot be determined between P and Q. hence, does not follow).

II. Q  ≥ P → False (As Q < N ≤ V ≤ X = B < D > P, So relation cannot be determined between P and Q. hence, does not follow).  

Since, conclusion I and II are complementary to each other.

Therefore, either conclusion I or II follows.

Hence, the correct answer is either conclusion I or II follows.
