Reasoning PYQs

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 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sugar box placed three boxes away from Jaggery 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 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The box which is placed at position 7 contains Rice.

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)

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 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All except wheat flour placed at odd number position and wheat flour box placed at even number position.

Given

Statement:

“Blunt Force Trauma” is coded as “Boku Faki Kami”

“Black Force Energy” is coded as “Suzo Faki Kuro”

“Black Posh Box” is coded as “Bibi Poka Kuro”

“Black Is Blunt” is coded as “Kami Nova Kuro”

“Trauma Is Bad” is coded as “Piko Nova Boku”

We get:

Blunt – Kami

Force – Faki

Trauma – Boku

Black – Kuro

Is – Nova

The codes for ‘Energy’, and ‘Bad’ is determined by elimination, i.e. all the other codes in the sentence are determined:

Energy - Suzo

Bad – Piko

We can not clearly determine the codes for ‘Posh’ and ‘Box’:

Posh – Poka/Bibi

Box – Bibi/Poka

 Nova is the code for Is.

Given,

A girl walks 4 km towards the south.

AB = 4

She turns towards the west and walks 13 km.

BC = 13

BC = DF = 13

She turns towards the south and walks 3 km.

CD = 3

CD = BF = 3

She turns towards the East and walks 11 km.

DE = 11

So,

Final destination of a girl is at point E which is the Southwest of point A (Starting point).

We use Pythagoras theorem to find distance between A and E.

H² = P² + B²

H = AE, P = AF, B = EF

AF = AB + BF

AF = 4 + 3

AF = 7,

EF = ED + DF

EF = 11 + 13

EF = 24,

Now,

(AE)² = (AF)² + (EF)²

(AE)² = 7² + 24²

(AE)² = 49 + 576

(AE)² = 625

AE = √625

AE = 25

25 km is the correct answer.

Given

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

Nine designations - Managing director (MD), Chief executive officer (CEO), Chief operating officer (COO), Chief financial officer (CFO), Chief technological officer (CTO), Chief marketing officer (CMO), Chief legal officer (CLO), Executive and Manager. 

Now,

1. G who is not at the senior most nor at the junior most position has his designation higher than CFO.

2. K who is working as an executive is exactly between I and H. Three designations are there between CEO and E.

 

3. Three designations are there between F and the one who is CTO. The person who is CEO is three posts above M.

4. I is at one of the positions senior to H

 

5. L is not CEO of the company and neither immediately junior to him. J is senior to the one who is designated as COO.  

 

As the statement says J is senior to the one who is designated as COO, but in CASE 2 we have only one position left which is of COO so CASE 2 gets eliminated and we have the final arrangement in CASE 1

 

The correct answer is "three".

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

Conclusions:

I. Some Papaya can be Apple. → True (It is possible that Some Papaya are Apple as there is no direct relation given between them. So, it follows.)

II. Some Kiwi are not Papaya. → False (It is possible that All Kiwi are Papaya as there is no direct relation given between them. So, it doesn't follow.)

The correct answer is Only I follows.

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

Conclusions:

I. Some Duster are Table. → False (It is possible but not definite as there is no direct relation given between them. So, it doesn't follow.)

II. All Table can be Chalk. → True (Only a few Chalk are Table means Some Chalk are Table and Some Chalk are not Table. But it is possible that All Table are Chalk. So, it follows.)

The correct answer is Only II follows.

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

Conclusions:

I. No right is bad. → False (It is possible but not definite as there is no negative or direct relation given between them. So, it doesn't follow.)

II. Some good can be wrong. → False (It is definite that Some good are wrong, so the possibility does not follow.)

The correct answer is Neither I nor II follows.

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

Conclusions:

I. Some Gold can be Diamonds. → True (As there is no direct or negative relation given between Gold and Diamond, it is possible that Some Gold is Diamonds. Hence, it follows.)

II. All Diamonds are Silver. → False (Only a few Silver is Diamonds means Some Silver is Diamond and Some Silver is not Diamond. But it is possible that All Diamonds are Silver. But again, it is possible not definite. Hence, it doesn't follow.)

III. Some Platinum can never be Silver. → False (Some Platinum can never be Silver means Some Platinum is not Silver. But it is possible that All Platinum is Silver as there is no negative or direct relation given Platinum and Silver. Hence, it doesn't follow.)

The correct answer is Only I follow.

1. B sits third to the right of A and is facing outside.

2. Three people are sitting between B and C. D sits second to the right of B. E sits third to the left of D.

3. H is sitting exactly opposite to G, who is not the immediate neighbor of either F or C. Case1 and Case 2a gets invalid as there is no place to place H and G.

4. F is not facing inside. It means F is facing outside. 

B is sitting immediate right of G

1. B sits third to the right of A and is facing outside.

2. Three people are sitting between B and C. D sits second to the right of B. E sits third to the left of D.

3. H is sitting exactly opposite to G, who is not the immediate neighbor of either F or C. Case1 and Case 2a gets invalid as there is no place to place H and G.

4. F is not facing inside. It means F is facing outside. 

One person sit between E and G counting from right of G.

1. B sits third to the right of A and is facing outside.

2. Three people are sitting between B and C. D sits second to the right of B. E sits third to the left of D.

3. H is sitting exactly opposite to G, who is not the immediate neighbor of either F or C. Case1 and Case 2a gets invalid as there is no place to place H and G.

4. F is not facing inside. It means F is facing outside. 

D and H faces in opposite direction is the correct statement.
