Reasoning PYQs

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.

            

Clearly the distance between G and H is equal to the difference of the distance between FE and CD.

The distance is = (9 - 6) meters = 3 meters.

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 E is in the North East direction of C so it is obvious that C is in the West of D.

C is in the West direction with respect to D.

**Given

Statements:

**

I. All dams are wood.

II. Some wood are chairs.

III. No chairs are umbrellas.   

The least possible Venn Diagram from the above statements is as follows:

Conclusions:

I) Some umbrellas are wood → False (as there is no direct relation given between umbrellas and wood so we cannot determine the answer. Thus, this case is considered as false)

II) All woods are dams → False (as this is a converse statement of the first statement which says that all dams are wood. Thus, this case is considered as false)

Neither conclusion I nor II follow.

The least possible Venn diagram according to the above statement is:

Conclusion:

I. All DNA is Protein is a possibility → False (As Some DNA are RNA and no RNA is Protein, Hence All DNA cannot be Protein.)

II. All Genes being Protein is a possibility → True (No definite relation is given between Genes and Protein, Hence the possibility of All is true.)

III. All Protein is DNA → False (All Protein being DNA is a possibility but its not definite.)

Only II follows is the correct answer.

The least possible Venn diagram according to the above statement is:

Conclusion:

I. All Fan is switch is a possibility → True( All Bulb are switch, There is a possibility that switch will cover all fan as well hence given conclusion is true) 

II. Some switch is fan → True ( some part of Bulb which are fan are switch as well as they are overlapping with each other) 

III. Some bulb is tube light → False (There is no direct relation, this can be the possible case not definite case)

 Both I and II is the correct answer.
