Reasoning PYQs

Given series:

Left Side G % 4 F L # 2 1 V & W 5 4 @ $ X + 4 € 6 3 Q © 7 5 Right Side

Letters which are immediately preceded and followed by symbol and prime number respectively:

G % 4 F L # 2 1 V & W 5 4 @ $ X + 4 € 6 3 Q © 7 5

Hence, there is only one letter which is immediately preceded and followed by symbol and prime number respectively.

Given series:

Left Side G % 4 F L # 2 1 V & W 5 4 @ $ X + 4 € 6 3 Q © 7 5 Right Side

Sum of even numbers: 4 + 2 + 4 + 4 + 6 = 20

Sum of odd numbers: 1 + 5 + 3 + 7 + 5 = 21

Difference between the sum of even numbers and odd numbers are 20 - 21 = -1 

But the absolute difference between the sum of even numbers and odd numbers is |20 - 21| = | -1 | = 1

Hence, 1 is the absolute difference between the sum of even numbers and odd numbers$.

Floor no: 1 to 7

Person: W, I, N, D, O, B and J

1. J lives immediately above W, who lives on the 4^th floor.

2. Two persons live between W and B.

3. I lives immediately below O, who lives below J and above B.

The above table will be the final solution.

Hence, Either D or N is live on the topmost floor.

Floor no: 1 to 7

Person: W, I, N, D, O, B and J

1. J lives immediately above W, who lives on the 4^th floor.

2. Two persons live between W and B.

3. I lives immediately below O, who lives below J and above B.

The above table will be the final solution.

Hence, I lives on the 2^nd floor.

Floor no: 1 to 7

Person: W, I, N, D, O, B and J

1. J lives immediately above W, who lives on the 4^th floor.

2. Two persons live between W and B.

3. I lives immediately below O, who lives below J and above B.

The above table will be the final solution.

Hence, no one lives between D and N.

Floor no: 1 to 7

Person: W, I, N, D, O, B and J

1. J lives immediately above W, who lives on the 4^th floor.

2. Two persons live between W and B.

3. I lives immediately below O, who lives below J and above B.

4) If D lives immediately above J, then N will live on the 7^th floor

The above table will be the final solution.

Therefore, N will live on the 7^th floor if D lives immediately above J.

Floor no: 1 to 7

Person: W, I, N, D, O, B and J

1. J lives immediately above W, who lives on the 4^th floor.

2. Two persons live between W and B.

3. I lives immediately below O, who lives below J and above B.

The above table will be the final solution.

Hence, W lives exactly middle of the building.

Given series: 2 @ 5 K A 7 6 3 2 @ T 8 € V 7 % B 3 E G $ M P © Q T % 3 U B 6 5 $ #

Letters, which are immediately followed by a letter but not immediately preceded by a letter

2 @ 5 K A 7 6 3 2 @ T 8 € V 7 % B 3 E G $ M P © Q T % 3 U B 6 5 $ #

Therefore, there are 5 letters. Which are immediately followed by a letter but not preceded by a letter: 5KA, 3EG, $MP, ©QT and 3UB

Hence, “more than four” is the correct answer$.

Given series:

Left side: 2 @ 5 K A 7 6 3 2 @ T 8 € V 7 % B 3 E G $ M P © Q T % 3 U B 6 5 $ # Right

side

Eighth element from the left end – 3

Twelfth element to the right of eighth element from the left end (3) – G

Therefore, “G” will be twelfth to the right of the eighth element from the left end of the given arrangement

Hence, “G” is the correct answer.

Given series: 2 @ 5 K A 7 6 3 2 @ T 8 € V 7 % B 3 E G $ M P © Q T % 3 U B 6 5 $ #

Consonants which are immediately followed by a symbol and preceded by a vowel

2 @ 5 K A 7 6 3 2 @ T 8 € V 7 % B 3 E G $ M P © Q T % 3 U B 6 5 $ #

Therefore, there is only one consonant which is immediately followed by a symbol and preceded by a vowel: EG$

Hence, “one” is the correct answer$.

Given series: 2 @ 5 K A 7 6 3 2 @ T 8 € V 7 % B 3 E G $ M P © Q T % 3 U B 6 5 $ #

If all the symbols are dropped then the series will be as follows:

Left end: 2 5 K A 7 6 3 2 T 8 V 7 B 3 E G M P Q T 3 U B 6 5: Right end

Fifteenth element from the right end – V

Hence, “V” is the correct answer.

Six persons : A, B, C, D, E and F

1. F is taller than A, who is taller than D and C.

F > A > D/C

2. Only two persons are shorter than E, but neither of them is C.

_ > _ > _ > E > _ > _

3. D is not the shortest person.

The arrangement is F > A > C > E > D > B.

The final arrangement is : F > A > C > E > D > B.

Hence, B is shortest among all.

Six persons : A, B, C, D, E and F

1. F is taller than A, who is taller than D and C.

F > A > D/C

2. Only two persons are shorter than E, but neither of them is C.

E > >

3. D is not the shortest person.

The arrangement is F > A > C > E > D > B.

The final arrangement is : F > A > C > E > D > B.

Hence, four persons are shorter than A.

Six persons : A, B, C, D, E and F

1. F is taller than A, who is taller than D and C.

F > A > D/C

2. Only two persons are shorter than E, but neither of them is C.

E > >

3. D is not the shortest person.

The arrangement is F > A > C > E > D > B.

The final arrangement is : F > A > C > E > D > B.

Hence, D is shorter than E.

Six persons : A, B, C, D, E and F

1. F is taller than A, who is taller than D and C.

F > A > D/C

2. Only two persons are shorter than E, but neither of them is C.

E > >

3. D is not the shortest person.

The arrangement is F > A > C > E > D > B.

The final arrangement is : F > A > C > E > D > B.

Hence, C is shorter than A but taller than E.

The least possible diagram for the given statements is as follows

Conclusions:

I. Some lemons are mangoes → False (It is given that all mangoes are apples)

II. All lemons are apples → False (It is given that only a few lemons are apples)

Hence, neither I nor II follows.

The least possible diagram for the given statements is as follows

Conclusions:

I. Some baskets are bottles → True (It is possible)

II. No bottle is basket → False (It is false as only a few baskets are bottles)

Hence, Only I follows.
