Reasoning PYQs

Seven persons Kriti, Lavanya, Mahesh, Narender, Pooja, Rajat, and Suman are sitting around a circular table.

Some of them are facing outside and some of them are facing inside the centre.

1. Rajat is sitting second to the left of Layanya. One person is sitting between Pooja and Rajat.

2. Three persons are sitting between Pooja and Kriti. Mahesh and Suman are immediately left of each other. Suman is not the immediate neighbor of Pooja.

3. Narender sits second to the right of Kriti. Rajat and Kriti face opposite directions. The immediate neighbor of Narender faces the same direction. Narender faces inside

4. No three persons facing the same direction sit together.

In Case 1, Narender, Rajat, Pooja, and Mahesh are facing the same direction. This contradicts the given condition. So, case 1 is eliminated.

The pattern followed here is:

1. BEIN → B + 3 = E; E + 4 = I; I + 5 = N

2. LOSX → L + 3 = O; O + 4 = S; S + 5 = X

3. DGJN → D + 3 = G; G + 3 = J; J + 4 = N

4. HKOT → H + 3 = K; K + 4 = O; O + 5 = T

5. FIMR → F + 3 = I; I + 4 = M; M + 5 = R

Thus, DGJN does not fulfil the above condition. So, it is the odd one out from the given options.

The word is ‘UMBRELLA’.

The vowels are shifted to two places behind and the consonants are shifted two places ahead in the English alphabetical series. The alphabets thus formed are then arranged in a reverse order according to the English alphabetical series. Hence, we get-

 

The second letter from the left is T and the second letter from the right is D.

Hence, the correct combination of letters is TD.

Given:

Eight persons - F, G, H, I, J, K, L, and M

Eight years - 1951, 1960, 1965, 1971, 1975, 1982, 1987 and 1994

They were born on the same date i.e. on 1^st February of these years.

Make all the age calculations as of 1^st February 2023.

So, the ages of all the persons will be as follows -

 

Now,

1) F was aged twice as old as H. H's age can be 29 or 36 while F's age can be 58 or 72.

2. Two persons were younger than G but older than H. 

 

3) The number of persons older than I was twice as much as the number of persons older than L.

4) Nobody was born between I and M.

 

5) K was born after 1980. This is not possible in Case I so it gets eliminated.

The final arrangement is -

 

J was born in the year 1960.

Hence, the correct answer is 1960.

Given

Statement:

"black is cool color" is coded as "ku lo si ri"

"beige furniture is boring" is coded as "xo fi lo bo"

"some movie is black" is coded as "ko vi lo ku"

"some black is cool" is coded as "ko ku lo si"

We get:

is – lo

some - ko

black - ku

cool - si

The codes for ‘movie’, ' boring', and ‘color’ is determined by elimination, i.e. all the other codes in the sentence are determined:

movie - vi

color – ri

We can not clearly determine the codes for ‘beige’ and ‘furniture’:

beige – xo/fi/bo

furniture – xo/fi/bo

boring - xo/fi/bo

Hence, the code for 'cool' is si.

movie - vi

color – ri

We can not clearly determine the codes for ‘beige’ and ‘furniture’:

beige – xo/fi/bo

furniture – xo/fi/bo

boring - xo/fi/bo

Since the code for furniture is not defined.

Hence, the code for furniture will either be fi or xo.
