Reasoning PYQs

Here, persons are P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W.

1. Q sits third to the right of P.

2. S and Q sit immediate right to each other.

3. Three persons sit between V and R.

4. T sits second to the left of R.

5. U neither faces outwards nor sits adjacent to Q. Therefore, case 2 is eliminated. Hence, the final arrangement is as follows

Since, each pair represents persons sitting opposite to each other whereas V and P sits adjacent to each other.

Hence, the odd one is VP.

Here, persons are P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W.

1. Q sits third to the right of P.

2. S and Q sit immediate right to each other.

3. Three persons sit between V and R.

4. T sits second to the left of R.

5. U neither faces outwards nor sits adjacent to Q. Therefore, case 2 is eliminated. Hence, the final arrangement is as follows

Since, W sits immediate left to Q not immediate right. Therefore, statement I does not follow.

Only two persons sit between W and T when counted from the right of W. Therefore, statement II follows.

W sits opposite to P not T. Therefore, statement III does not follow.

Hence, the correct answer is only II follows.

Here, persons are P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W.

1. Q sits third to the right of P.

2. S and Q sit immediate right to each other.

3. Three persons sit between V and R.

4. T sits second to the left of R.

5. U neither faces outwards nor sits adjacent to Q. Therefore, case 2 is eliminated. Hence, the final arrangement is as follows

Since, P sits second to the right  of U. Therefore, statement I is correct.

Q sits second to the right of R. Therefore, statement II is correct.

S sits opposite to U. Therefore, statement III is correct.

Hence, the incorrect statement is None of these.

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

Conclusions:

I. Only a few chemicals are elements → True (As this can be deduced.)

II.  All element are an chemical is a possibility. → True (All reagents are chemical and only a few reagents are elements.)

Thus, All follows

The least possible diagram is as follows:

Conclusions:

I. Some Markets being Ground is a possibility - True

II. All Grounds being Markets is a possibility - True

Hence, both conclusions I and II are true

The least possible diagram is as follows:

Conclusions:

I. Some Cups are Plates - False (it is possible but not definite)

II. Some Pens are Plates - False (it is possible but not definite)

Hence, neither of the conclusions is true

Given: Seven staff members, namely, G, H, I, J, K, L, and M, work in a company, each holding a different position among the following roles arranged from highest to lowest: Director, Deputy Director, Senior Manager, Manager, Assistant Manager, Supervisor, Clerk, but not necessarily in the same order.

1. Exactly two employees hold positions above H. 

 

2. There is exactly one position gap between H and M.

Here, we have 2 Cases, i.e., Case 1 and Case 2.

 

3. More than two positions separate I and M.
4. I is not the junior-most employee. 

 

5. More than two positions also separate J and I, and J holds a senior position compared to I.

Now, we can eliminate Case 2.

 

6. K does not work as the Manager or the Clerk.

 

7. L holds a position junior to G.

7. L holds a position junior to G.

This is our final arrangement,

 

Hence, the correct answer is The employee working as Supervisor.

Given word: COMPREHENSION

Operation: Consonants replaced with the next letter and vowels replaced with the previous letter

 

Since, after rearrangement O comes fifth from the right end.

Hence, the correct answer is 'O'.

Here, persons are A, B, C, D, E and F.

1. B got more marks than two persons.

2. C got more marks than B and D.

3. C does not get second highest marks.

Case – 1

              C  >    >     > B  >     >     

Case – 2  

                 >      >  C  >  B  >    >     

4. A got more marks than E and C. Therefore, case 1 is eliminated.

5. E got more marks than B and F.

6. D does not get least marks.

        A  >  E  >  C  >  B  >  D  >  F

7. The second lowest marks is 42 marks. Hence, the final arrangement is as follows

       A  >  E  >  C  >  B  >  D  >  F

                                        42        

Hence, F scores least marks.

Here, persons are A, B, C, D, E and F.

1. B got more marks than two persons.

2. C got more marks than B and D.

3. C does not get second highest marks.

Case – 1

              C  >    >     > B  >     >     

Case – 2  

                 >      >  C  >  B  >    >     

4. A got more marks than E and C. Therefore, case 1 is eliminated.

5. E got more marks than B and F.

6. D does not get least marks.

        A  >  E  >  C  >  B  >  D  >  F

7. The second lowest marks is 42 marks. Hence, the final arrangement is as follows

       A  >  E  >  C  >  B  >  D  >  F

                                        42        

Since, one person scores more marks than E and one person score less marks than D. Therefore, statement I is correct.

A score the highest marks. Therefore, statement II is correct.

C scores less marks than E not more marks. Therefore, statement III is incorrect.

Hence, the correct answer is Only I and II.

Here, persons are A, B, C, D, E and F.

1. B got more marks than two persons.

2. C got more marks than B and D.

3. C does not get second highest marks.

Case – 1

              C  >    >     > B  >     >     

Case – 2  

                 >      >  C  >  B  >    >     

4. A got more marks than E and C. Therefore, case 1 is eliminated.

5. E got more marks than B and F.

6. D does not get least marks.

        A  >  E  >  C  >  B  >  D  >  F

7. The second lowest marks is 42 marks. Hence, the final arrangement is as follows

       A  >  E  >  C  >  B  >  D  >  F

                                        42        

Since, A obtained more marks than E who obtained 68 marks. Therefore, possible marks obtained by A should be more than 68 marks.

Hence, the correct answer is 70 marks.
