Reasoning PYQs

Person: Jai, Zia, Devin, Richard, and Mark

Cities: Mongolia, Lisbon, Tokyo, Bennett, and Nagasaki.

Year: 1968, 1971, 1987, 1997, and 2007. 

Base year: 2023

The ages of the given persons are calculated as follows:

Age of the person who is born in the year 1968: 2023-1968=55 years. Similarly, calculate the others.

1) The person who went to Mongolia is half the age of the person who went to Lisbon city for vacation. The person who went on vacation in Nagasaki has an age which is multiple of Five. Two persons are born between Devin and Mark.

The person born in 1997 is 26 years old which is half the age of the person born in 1971 which is 52 years old. So,  the Person with 26 years of age went to Mongolia and the person with 52 years of age went to Lisbon for vacation. The Person born in 1968 has age 55 years which is a multiple of 5. So, The person who went to Nagasaki is 55 years of age.

 

2) Richard is born just before Zia is born. The person who visited Tokyo was not born in the year 2007.

 

3) Mark is not the eldest person among the five persons. Devin age is not an even number. In Case 2, Devin's age can only be an even number which contradicts the given condition. So, Case 2 is eliminated.

The final arrangement is:

 

Hence, Zia visited Tokyo for vacation.

Six persons: P, Q, R, S, T and U

Floors: 1, 2, and 3

Flat: X and Y

(1) P lives on an odd numbered floor in flat X. Therefore, we get two the following two cases here.

 

(2) The one who is from Kolkata lives immediately above U  in the same flat. . (3) S lives to the west of U. (4) P and the one who is from Kolkata do not live on the same floor.

 

(5) T does not live in flat Y. (6) There is one floor between Q and the one who is from Delhi who lives above Q. Since, only flat Y of floor 3 is left for Q in case (I), case (I) eliminates here.

 

(7) Neither S nor Q is from Bangalore. (8) U is either from Pune or from Agra (implies, P is from Bangalore). (9) The one who is from Mumbai lives on the same floor on which the one who is from Agra lives (implies, S is from Mumbai and U is from Agra). Thus, the final arrangement is as follows:

 

We can see that, all T, R, P, and Q live in odd numbered floor and thus forms a group.

 S does not belong to that group.

Six persons: P, Q, R, S, T and U

Floors: 1, 2, and 3

R lives to the east of T.

Six persons: P, Q, R, S, T and U

Floors: 1, 2, and 3

Flat: X and Y

(1) P lives on an odd numbered floor in flat X. Therefore, we get two the following two cases here.

The one who is from Pune and P both live on bottom most floors.

Six persons: P, Q, R, S, T and U

Floors: 1, 2, and 3

Flat: X and Y

(1) P lives on an odd numbered floor in flat X. Therefore, we get two the following two cases here.

S - Agra is the correct combination.

Six persons: P, Q, R, S, T and U

Floors: 1, 2, and 3

Flat: X and Y

(1) P lives on an odd numbered floor in flat X. Therefore, we get two the following two cases here.

Q lives in Flat - Y.

Wheat flour is kept at even numbered position above position four.

Pasta box is kept at position four.

Jaggery is immediately below pasta.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Two boxes are between wheat flour and almonds

Number of boxes between wheat flour and sugar is same as that of the almonds and jaggery.

With these clues, case 1 will be eliminated and we have one more case i.e. case 2(a)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Two boxes are kept between pasta and maida, and maida is not kept at the position seven.

One box is kept between wheat flour and oats.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sugar is kept below wheat flour.

Lentils is kept above rice.

Lentils is not kept above oats

From these clues, case 2 gets eliminated.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rice is not kept at position two.

Hence, case 2(a), case 2(b) and case 3 also get eliminated. Now we have only case 2(c)

So the final arrangement 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is one box between rice and lentils box.

Wheat flour is kept at even numbered position above position four.

Pasta box is kept at position four.

Jaggery is immediately below pasta.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Two boxes are between wheat flour and almonds

Number of boxes between wheat flour and sugar is same as that of the almonds and jaggery.

With these clues, case 1 will be eliminated and we have one more case i.e. case 2(a)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Two boxes are kept between pasta and maida, and maida is not kept at the position seven.

One box is kept between wheat flour and oats.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sugar is kept below wheat flour.

Lentils is kept above rice.

Lentils is not kept above oats

From these clues, case 2 gets eliminated.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rice is not kept at position two.

Hence, case 2(a), case 2(b) and case 3 also get eliminated. Now we have only case 2(c)

So the final arrangement 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lentils box is placed immediately below Oats.
