Reasoning PYQs

Given

Statement:

B > C ≥ D = E; F > E; C < H

On combining: B > C ≥ D = E < F; C < H

Conclusion:

I. D > H → False (H > C ≥ D → H > D, The given conclusion is false)

II. E ≥ C → False (C ≥ D = E → C ≥ E, The given conclusion is false)

Hence, Neither I nor II follow.

**Given

Statement:

** M > P ≥ O = G ≥ S > V > U

Conclusions: 

I. P > V → True (As P ≥ O = G ≥ S > V → P > V. So, it is true).

II. V < M → True (As M > P ≥ O = G ≥ S > V → V < M. So, it is true). 

Hence, Both I and II follow.

We follow the given symbols to illustrate the relations:

We have: R A N D O M 

Therefore, required value = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 2 + 6 = 18

Hence, total is 18.

Given

Statements:

M < T ≤ Q < D; P > A = W ≥ D

On combining: M < T ≤ Q < D ≤ W = A < P

Conclusions:

I. W ≥ T → False (as T ≤ Q < D ≤ W, so it is definite that W is greater than T. It is not possible that W is equal to T.)

II. P > Q → True (as Q < D ≤ W = A < P, so P is greater than Q.)

W is greater than T but not equal to T so the first conclusion doesn't follow. But it is definite that P is greater than Q so the second conclusion follows.

The correct answer is Only II follows.

Given

Statements:

R < V > C ≥ S < N; Q ≥ O > S

On combining: R < V > C ≥ S < O ≤ Q; Q ≥ O > S < N

Conclusions:

I. V > O → False (as V > C ≥ S < O, so no definite relationship can be determined between V and O.)

II. Q > C → False (as C ≥ S < O ≤ Q, so no definite relationship can be determined between Q and C.)

There is no direct relation given between V and O so the first conclusion doesn't follow. Similarly, the second conclusion also doesn't follow.

The correct answer is Neither I nor II follows.

Given

Statements:

C < P = R > N > S; Z < S ≤ O < G

On combining: C < P = R > N > S ≤ O < G; C < P = R > N > S > Z

Conclusions:

I. O > R → False (as R > N > S ≤ O, so no definite relationship can be determined between O and R.)

II. P > Z → True (as P = R > N > S > Z, so P is greater than Z.)

There is no direct relation given between O and R so the first conclusion doesn't follow. P is greater than Z so the second conclusion follows.

The correct answer is Only II follows.

Dates: 5^th and 18^th

Months: January, March, and April 

ATMs Color: Green, Brown, Yellow, Pink, Orange, and White.

1. A person visited the white Label ATM on 5^th January. Two persons visited in between the persons who visited White and Brown Label ATMs.   Karan and Priya visited the ATM in the same month. Karan visited the ATM before Ritu.

The Final arrangement is:

 

Vivek, Ritu is the correct option.

1) Point A is 12 meters to the West of B.

2) B is to the North of C.

3) H is the midpoint of B and C.

4) E is 13 meters to the North of D.

5) E is in the North East direction of C.

6) Distance Between C and D is 6 meters.

7) F is 9 meters to the West of E.

      

8) Distance between A and H is 13 meters.

9) G is 8 meters South of F.

​10) G is in the West direction of H.

 

            

 As H is the Mid point of B and C so the distance between B and C is double of B and H.

 We know that the distance between B and H is

Applying Pythagoras Theorem

BH = \(\sqrt{\left(13^2-12^2\right)}\)= \(\sqrt{25}\)= 5 meters.

The distance between B and C is = (5 x 2) = 10 meters.
