Reasoning PYQs

Let us check each option:

1. A > B ≥ C < D → relation between A and D can’t be determined.

2. A ≤ B < C = D → A < D which is false.

3. A ≥ B = C < D → relation between A and D can’t be determined.

4. A ≥ B = C > D → D < A True

Hence, the correct sequence of symbols to satisfy the given condition is “≥, =, >”.

Given

Statement:

A = R ≥ I ? T = N ≤ M = X

Condition is X > I

I ? T = N ≤ M = X →X = M ≥ N = T > I, will only make X > I, so I < T = N ≤ M = X.

Hence, < is the answer.

Let us check:

Given

Statements:

‘U > S’, ‘Q < T’ and ‘S ≤ N’ 

The part of the question “S ? Q ? N”, to fill this, from the given statements we have to satisfy the condition ‘S ≤ N’ and hence S = Q and Q ≤ N

The other part of the question “U > T ? D ≥ S = Q ≤ N”, to fill this, from this given statements we have to satisfy the condition ‘U > S’ and ‘S ≤ N’ → U > S ≤ N but ‘Q < T’ .Hence U > T > D.

Hence, “U > T > D ≥ S = Q ≤ N” is the correct statement.

Persons: Ram, Mani, Rupa, Mano, Sahil, Saroja, and Ravi.

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

Conclusion:

I. All rooms can never be cards → True (As per the statement All rooms are table and no tables are cards so, rooms are under the table and no table is a card. Hence, all rooms can never be cards.)

II. All doors can be cards → False (As per the statement All doors are tables and no table is the card so, all door will never be the card.)

Hence, Only I follows

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

Conclusions:

I. All Rectangle being Square is a possibility - True (There is no relation between Rectangular or Square so the possibility case is followed)

II. Some Square can be Triangle - True (Given no Circle is Square but not given any relation between Triangle and Square so Some Square can be Triangle is follows)

Hence, Both I and II follow.

The least possible Venn Diagram of the statements is as follows:

Conclusions:

I. No Chocolate is Flowers → False (If all Chocolates are Flowers then no Chocolate is Flowers not possible to be definite).

II. Some Cakes are Flowers → True (If Flowers are Cakes then some Cakes are Flowers possible to be definite).

Hence, Only II follows.

 

Additional Information

1. Some X are Y means some part of the X circle is within the Y circle.
2. No X is Y means circle X and Y are not intersecting at all.
3. All X is Y means the whole circle X lies within the Y circle.
4. If there is no exact conclusion for the given statements then the possibility case arises.
5. If Only X is Y means all Y is X and Y cannot make positive relation with any other element except X negative can be possible.
6. Only a few = Some + Some not.

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

Conclusions:

I.Some Coffee is candy ⇒ True ( As all dark is candy and some part of the dark is coffee so, some coffee is candy is true)

II.No candy is chocolate ⇒ False ( It is possible but is not definite)

Hence, only conclusion 1 follows.

1. I is at the top shelf.

2. D is not at the bottom shelf.

3. More than three shelves are between D and E. ( which means shelves between D and E are 4 , 5, 6 and so on)

5. E is immediately below A.

 

6) Two shelves are there between B and F.

7. B is above F.

2. D is not at the bottom shelf.

3. More than three shelves are between D and E. ( which means shelves between D and E are 4 , 5, 6 and so on)

The final arrangement will be:

 

Hence, Two shelves are there between G and C.

1. I is at the top shelf.

2. D is not at the bottom shelf.

3. More than three shelves are between D and E. ( which means shelves between D and E are 4 , 5, 6 and so on)
