Reasoning PYQs

All the persons are facing Noth direction.

1)  R is sitting second from one of the ends of the row. Four persons are sitting between R and T. Two persons are sitting between T and S. More than three persons are sitting between R and S. V is sitting second to the right of S.

2)  Five persons are sitting between V and Q. The number of persons sitting between V and Q is one more than the number of persons sitting to the right of Q.

As five persons are sitting between V and Q four persons will be sitting to the right of Q. In Case 2, if we place five persons in between V and Q then the condition that four persons will be sitting to the right of Q cannot be fulfilled. So, Case 2 is eliminated.

3) U is sitting third from one of the ends and P is not an immediate neighbor of Q. The number of persons sitting between U and P is the same as the number of persons sitting between T and S.

As two persons are sitting between T and S that is why two persons are sitting between U and P. U is sitting third from the left end because if we place U third from the right end then P will be an immediate neighbor of Q which contradicts the given condition.

The final arrangement is:

Hence, T sits fourth to the right of U.

All the persons are facing Noth direction.

1)  R is sitting second from one of the ends of the row. Four persons are sitting between R and T. Two persons are sitting between T and S. More than three persons are sitting between R and S. V is sitting second to the right of S.

2)  Five persons are sitting between V and Q. The number of persons sitting between V and Q is one more than the number of persons sitting to the right of Q.

As five persons are sitting between V and Q four persons will be sitting to the right of Q. In Case 2, if we place five persons in between V and Q then the condition that four persons will be sitting to the right of Q cannot be fulfilled. So, Case 2 is eliminated.

3) U is sitting third from one of the ends and P is not an immediate neighbor of Q. The number of persons sitting between U and P is the same as the number of persons sitting between T and S.

As two persons are sitting between T and S that is why two persons are sitting between U and P. U is sitting third from the left end because if we place U third from the right end then P will be an immediate neighbor of Q which contradicts the given condition.

The final arrangement is:

Hence, 22 people are sitting in the row.

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

Conclusions:

I. All Four can be One. → False (It is not possible that All Four are One as the part of Four which is Two cannot be One. So, it doesn't follow)

II. All One can be Four. → True (It is possible that All One is Four as there is no negative relation given between them.)

Hence, the correct answer is Only II follows.

The least possible Venn Diagram for the given statements will be as follows,

 

I.  All pull can be force → False (as some pull is friction  and no friction is force so some pull is not force)

II. Some gravity is friction → True (as all pull is gravity and some pull is friction certainly, some gravity which is pull is friction)

Hence**, only II follow.**

The least possible venn diagram shown below.

Conclusions:-

1- Some Card are Black - False (There is no definite relation between Card and Black and It is possible that some Card can be Black. Therefore some Card are Black is false).

2- Some Bat are not Black- False (there is no definite relation between Bat and Black and it is possible that some Bat can not be Black. Therefore some Bat are not Black is false).

 

Hence, Neither I nor II follows.

Person: Jai, Zia, Devin, Richard, and Mark

Cities: Mongolia, Lisbon, Tokyo, Bennett, and Nagasaki.

Year: 1968, 1971, 1987, 1997, and 2007. 

Base year: 2023

The ages of the given persons are calculated as follows:

Age of the person who is born in the year 1968: 2023-1968=55 years. Similarly, calculate the others.

1) The person who went to Mongolia is half the age of the person who went to Lisbon city for vacation. The person who went on vacation in Nagasaki has an age which is multiple of Five. Two persons are born between Devin and Mark.

The person born in 1997 is 26 years old which is half the age of the person born in 1971 which is 52 years old. So,  the Person with 26 years of age went to Mongolia and the person with 52 years of age went to Lisbon for vacation. The Person born in 1968 has age 55 years which is a multiple of 5. So, The person who went to Nagasaki is 55 years of age.

 

2) Richard is born just before Zia is born. The person who visited Tokyo was not born in the year 2007.

 

3) Mark is not the eldest person among the five persons. Devin age is not an even number. In Case 2, Devin's age can only be an even number which contradicts the given condition. So, Case 2 is eliminated.

The final arrangement is:
