Reasoning PYQs

**Given

Statement:

** H > K ≤ L = M < N < Q = S

Conclusions:

I. M < S → True (M < N ≤ Q = S → M < S)

II. Q < K → False (K ≤ L = M < N < Q → K < Q)

Hence, Only conclusion I follows.

**Given

Statement:

** A > B = C < D < P > Q

Conclusions:

I. A < D → False ( A > B = C < D no definite relationship between A and D can be determined).

II. P > C → True (C < D < P → P > C)

Hence, Only II is true

Given word: ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The fourth, seventh, eighth, and sixteenth letters are N, L, E, and S respectively.

There is only one word that can be formed using these letters i.e. LENS.

Therefore, the second letter from the right end of the word 'LENS' is N. 

Hence, the required letter is N.

Given: A person went to the supermarket to buy six products. The products he buys are Clips, Cheese, Chocolates, Pens, Milk, and Scissors but not necessarily in the same order. 

Based on the given conditions, we get the following possibilities-

1. Cheese was the last item to be bought. Scissors were bought two products before Cheese. From these, we get-

 

2.  Pens were the second product to be bought. Two products were bought between Pens and Chocolates. From these, we get-

 

3. Clips weren't the first product to be bought. From this, we get the final table as follows-

 

Therefore, from the final table, we see that chocolates is the second last product to have been bought. 

Hence, chocolates is the second last product to have been bought.

Hence, the number of products bought after Clips is the same as the number of products that were bought before Scissors.

Given: An uncertain number of persons are sitting in a linear row, facing the north.

Based on the given conditions, we get the following arrangements:

1. M sits fourth from the right end of the row. M sits second to the right of L. G sits seventh to the left of M. From these, we get-
2. The number of persons sitting between R and G is two.

Only three persons sit between S and L. L sits to the right of S. From these, we get-

3. K sits third to the left of R. Only four persons sit to the left of N. Only one person sits between K and N. From these, we get-
4. N sits second to the right of V. From this, we get the final arrangement as follows:

From the final arrangement, we see that G sits to the immediate left of S.

Hence, G sits to the immediate left of S.

Given: An uncertain number of persons are sitting in a linear row, facing the north.

Hence, 10 persons sit between K and L.

Given: An uncertain number of persons are sitting in a linear row, facing the north.

Based on the given conditions, we get the following arrangements:

1. M sits fourth from the right end of the row. M sits second to the right of L. G sits seventh to the left of M. From these, we get-
2. The number of persons sitting between R and G is two.

Only three persons sit between S and L. L sits to the right of S. From these, we get-

3. K sits third to the left of R. Only four persons sit to the left of N. Only one person sits between K and N. From these, we get-
4. N sits second to the right of V. From this, we get the final arrangement as follows:

From the final arrangement, we see that a total of 23 persons are sitting in the row.

Now, 23 ÷ 6 gives us 3 as the quotient and 5 as the remainder.

Hence, the required remainder is 5.

The alphabets are positioned in the following order:

The word can be represented as follows:

In forward direction: “CF”

Thus, there is one pair of letters in the word “TACKIFIES” as according to the English alphabetical series.

Hence, one is the correct answer.

According to the given information, we get the following figure,

Hence, Point B is in the North-East direction with respect to F.

According to the given information, we get the following figure,

The first point is in North West from the second point.

Hence, Option D is different.

According to the given information, we get the following figure,

Hence, Point C is in the South West direction with respect to F.

From the given instructions:

Six people live in a three storey building. The ground floor is numbered 1 and the floor above it numbered 2 and so on.

Each floor consists of two flats i.e. Flat X and Flat Y. Flat X of floor 2 is just above Flat X of floor 1 and just below Flat X of floor 3. So, we can draw a structure as:

 

1. S, who lives in Flat X, lives adjacent to the floor where T lives, but in a different building.

Only one person lives between P and S in the same building. So, here we have two cases,

Case 1:

 

Case 2:

 

2. T and V live on the same floor.

Case 1:

 

Case 2:

 

3. Q lives to the southeast of V.

Case 1:

 

Case 2:

 

4. R does not live on the floor where S lives. So, here Case 2 gets eliminated.

So, Final Arrangement,

 

T lives adjacent to R in the same building.
