Reasoning PYQs

Here, boxes are J, L, N, Q, R and V and colours are Blue, Green, Pink, Red, White and Yellow.

1. Box L placed four boxes above the box which contains Pink colour.

2. The box contains Red colour and the box contains Pink colour placed adjacent to each other.  3) Box V placed just above the box which contains Red colour.

 

4. Only two boxes are placed between the box contains White colour and Box N, neither of them placed at top or bottom positions. Therefore, case 3 is eliminated.

5. As many boxes placed above the box contains Green colour as many below the box J. 

 

6. Box Q placed below the Box L but likes neither Yellow nor Blue colour. Therefore, case 1(a) is eliminated.

7. Neither V nor R likes Green or White colour. Therefore, case 1(b) and case 2(b) are eliminated.

8. The box contains Blue colour is placed below the box that contains Yellow colour. Hence, the final arrangement is as follow

 

Hence, the incorrect combination N - Yellow.

Here, boxes are J, L, N, Q, R and V and colours are Blue, Green, Pink, Red, White and Yellow.

1. Box L placed four boxes above the box which contains Pink colour.

2. The box contains Red colour and the box contains Pink colour placed adjacent to each other.  3) Box V placed just above the box which contains Red colour.

 

4. Only two boxes are placed between the box contains White colour and Box N, neither of them placed at top or bottom positions. Therefore, case 3 is eliminated.

5. As many boxes placed above the box contains Green colour as many below the box J. 

 

6. Box Q placed below the Box L but likes neither Yellow nor Blue colour. Therefore, case 1(a) is eliminated.

7. Neither V nor R likes Green or White colour. Therefore, case 1(b) and case 2(b) are eliminated.

8. The box contains Blue colour is placed below the box that contains Yellow colour. Hence, the final arrangement is as follow

 

Since, the Box R contains Red colour. Therefore, statement first is incorrect.

Box V and Box R are placed adjacent to each other. Therefore, statement second is incorrect.

The box contains Blue colour placed at bottom position. Therefore, statement third is incorrect.

Box J contains Blue colour. Therefore, statement fourth is correct.

Hence, the correct statement is Box J contains Blue colour.

Here, boxes are J, L, N, Q, R and V and colours are Blue, Green, Pink, Red, White and Yellow.

1. Box L placed four boxes above the box which contains Pink colour.

2. The box contains Red colour and the box contains Pink colour placed adjacent to each other.

3. Box V placed just above the box which contains Red colour.

 

4. Only two boxes are placed between the box contains White colour and Box N, neither of them placed at top or bottom positions. Therefore, case 3 is eliminated.

5. As many boxes placed above the box contains Green colour as many below the box J. 

 

6. Box Q placed below the Box L but likes neither Yellow nor Blue colour. Therefore, case 1(a) is eliminated.

7. Neither V nor R likes Green or White colour. Therefore, case 1(b) and case 2(b) are eliminated.

8. The box contains Blue colour is placed below the box that contains Yellow colour. Hence, the final arrangement is as follow

 

Since, the Box R which contains Red colour and placed just below the Box V which contains Yellow colour is placed two boxes above the box J which contains Blue colour.

Hence, the correct answer is The box that is placed just below the box that contains Yellow colour.

Given

Statements:

A = D < C < B ≤ G > E; S < Q = E

On combining: A = D < C < B ≤ G > E = Q > S

Conclusions:

I. A ≤ G → False (as A = D < C < B ≤ G → A < G)

II. C > S → False (as C < B ≤ G > E = Q > S → clear relation between C and S cannot be determined)

Hence, none is true.

Given

Statements:

B = F ≤ J < V ≤ W; B < U > P

On combining: P < U > B = F ≤ J < V ≤ W

Conclusions:

I. B < W → True (as B = F ≤ J < V ≤ W → B < W)

II. U > F → True (as U > B = F → U > F)

Hence, Both I and II are True.

Given

Statements:

R ≥ U = X, K ≤ W = S < A > R

On combining: K ≤ W = S < A > R ≥ U = X

Conclusions:

I. A > X → True (as K ≤ W = S < A > R ≥ U = X → A > X)

II. W < U → False (as K ≤ W = S < A > R ≥ U = X → clear relation between W and U cannot be determined)

Hence, Only I is True.

Given: Fourteen persons are seated in two parallel rows, with seven persons each. H, I, J, K, L, M, and N in Row 1 and facing South, while P, Q, R, S, T, U, and V in Row 2 and facing North, but not necessarily in the same order.

1. Q is seated three places away from U, who occupies one of the extreme ends. 

Here, we have 2 Cases, i.e., Case 1 and Case 2. 2. The one who sits second to the left of Q sits opposite to M. 3. M sits diagonally opposite to P, who sits third to the right of S. 4. T sits to the right of S but is not an immediate neighbor of Q.

Now, we can eliminate Case 2. 5. R is seated opposite the person who is immediately left of N, who doesn't sit opposite Q. 6. I sits second to the left of N. 7. S is seated opposite the person who is immediately to the right of K. 8. L and P are not seated directly opposite to each other, and also don't sit at the ends. 9.

J is the neighbour of the person who faces the one seated second to the left of T. 

This is our final arrangement,

Hence, the correct answer is Neither P nor Q sits directly opposite I.

Logic: Second letter = First letter + 3, Third letter = Opposite of second letter

Option 1: F + 3 = I, and opposite of I = R

Option 2: J + 3 = M, and opposite of M = N

Option 3: B + 3 = E, and opposite of E = V

Option 4: U + 3 = X, and opposite of X = C ≠ Z

Hence, the correct answer is UXZ.
