Reasoning PYQs

Six persons: G, H, I, J, K and L.

1. J is heavier than only two persons.

 ⇒  > ____ > ___ > J > ___ >

2. K is heavier than only L and lighter than J

⇒ ____> ____ > ___ > J  > K > L

3. I’s weight is less than only H’s weight.

⇒ H > I > ___ > J  > K > L

As, only G is left. So, G will seat the vacant place.

The final arrangement is H > I > G > J > K > L.

4. The third heaviest weight is 150 kgs and the fifth heaviest weight is 70 kgs.

G = 150 and K = 70

The final arrangement is

H > I > G > J > K > L.

Hence, H is the heaviest.

Six persons: G, H, I, J, K and L.

1. J is heavier than only two persons.

J > >

2. K is heavier than only L and lighter than J

J > K > L

3. I’s weight is less than only H’s weight.

H > I

The arrangement is H > I > G > J > K > L.

4. The third heaviest weight is 150 kgs and the fifth heaviest weight is 70 kgs.

G = 150 and K = 70

The final arrangement is

H > I > G > J > K > L.

Hence, I, J and G are lighter than H and heavier than K.

Given Series: T R G S O I W P A Q D V E U X Z B Y C H F

According to the question, Consonant should be followed by a Consonant and preceded by a Vowel.

So, Vowel → Consonant → Consonant

T R G S O I W P A Q D V E U X Z B Y C H F

Clearly, three Consonants are there, which are followed by a consonant and preceded by a vowel. (I W P, A Q D, UX Z)

Hence, Three is the correct answer.

Given Series: T R G S O I W P A Q D V E U X Z B Y C H F

 

Clearly from the right end, first Sunday is occur at Y, which is at fourth place from the right end.

Hence, Fourth is the correct answer.

Given Series: T R G S O I W P A Q D V E U X Z B Y C H F

According to the question, Vowel should be followed by a Consonant and preceded by a Vowel.

So, Vowel → Vowel → Consonant

T R G S O I W P A Q D V E U X Z B Y C H F

Clearly, only two such vowels are there.

Hence, Two is the correct answer.

Given Series: T R G S O I W P A Q D V E U X Z B Y C H F

When all the vowels are dropped from the arrangement, i.e. A, E, I, O, U is dropped the remaining series will be:

T R G S W P Q D V X Z B Y C H F

The ninth letter from the left is: T R G S W P Q D V X Z B Y C H F

The fourth letter from the left of V is: T R G S W P Q D V

Hence, W is the correct answer.

Shortcut:

When in the question, both element is given from the same end is given we subtract the number of the elements.

So, 9^th Element from left - 4^th element from left = 5^th element from the left

So, T R G S W P Q D V X Z B Y C H F

Hence, W is the correct answer.

Given Series:  T R G S O I W P A Q D V E U X Z B Y C H F

The pattern followed here is:

P Q D →→ First element is on left side of the second element and third element is on right side of the second element.

S A Y → First element is on left side of the second element and third element is on right side of the second element.

E B Y→ First element is on left side of the second element and third element is on right side of the second element.

W E Y→ First element is on left side of the second element and third element is on right side of the second element.

Same pattern is followed in Option 5: 

QUX → First element is on left side of the second element and third element is on right side of the second element.

Hence, QUX is the correct answer.

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

Conclusions:

I. Some Water is not Air → True (It is clear that some Water is Air and the remaining part of the water is not air. So, the conclusion is true)

II. All air can be water → False (In case of ‘Only’ – the part of Air never make any positive relation with any other element other than Wind. So, the conclusion is false).

Hence, Only conclusion I follow.

Additional Information

1) Some part of A is B then if the rest part is negative there is a possibility that some negative is true. 

2) If the rest part is true then the possibility of all positive is true. 

3) Some of the remaining portions may be true or maybe false it will depend on the other statements.

Solutions:

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

Conclusions:

1. Some daisy can be Rose ⇒ True ( As there is no relation between daisy and Rose, so it is possible)
2. Some Lily is not daisy ⇒ True ( As lily which is lotus can never be a daisy, so some lily is not daisy is true)

Hence, Both conclusions I and II follow.

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

Conclusions:

I. All Stylus can be Tablet → False (As some Stylus are Laptop and no Laptop are Tablet, so that Stylus which are Laptop will never be Tablet)

II. No Tablet is Phone → True (As ‘All phones are laptops’ and ‘No Laptop is Tablet’)

Hence, only conclusion II follows.

If the vowels are changed to the next letter and the consonants are changed to the previous letters:

 

Therefore, there is only one letter that is B, which is repeated more than once. 

Hence, only one letter is repeated more than once.

Eight people - P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W.

1- U lives on an even numbered floor below floor 5.

2- T lives two floors above U.

3- Only one person lives between V and T.

 

4- There are only three people lives between W and T.

5- W lives immediately above R. 

6- P lives on floor 3.

7- Only one person lives between Q and P and Q lives above P.  

 

8- S lives above U. So case- 2 gets eliminated.

So, the Final arrangement;

 

Hence, S lives on floor 7.

Eight people - P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W 

1- U lives on an even numbered floor below floor 5.

2- T lives two floor above U.

3- Only one person lives between V and T.

 

4- There are only three people lives between W and T.

5- W lives immediately above R. 

6- P lives on floor 3.

7- Only one person lives between Q and P and Q lives above P.  

 

 

8- S lives above U. So case-2 gets eliminated.

So, Final arrangement;

 

Hence, Two people live between Q and V.

Eight people P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W. 

1- U lives on an even numbered floor below floor 5.

2- T lives two floor above U.

3- Only one person lives between V and T.

 

4- There are only three people lives between W and T.

5- W lives immediately above R. 

6- P lives on floor 3.

7- Only one person lives between Q and P and Q lives above P.  

 

 

8- S lives above U. So case-2 gets eliminated.

So, Final arrangement;

 

Hence, U lives on floor 4.

Eight people - P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W. 

1- U lives on an even numbered floor below floor 5.

2- T lives two floor above U.

3- Only one person lives between V and T.

 

4- There are only three people lives between W and T.

5- W lives immediately above R. 

6- P lives on floor 3.

7- Only one person lives between Q and P and Q lives above P.  

 

 

8- S lives above U. So case-2 gets eliminated.

So, Final arrangement;

 

Here, V, T, U, W lives on even numered floor and P lives on odd numbered floor

Hence, P is an odd one from the other.

Eight people - P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W. 

1- U lives on an even numbered floor below floor 5.

2- T lives two floors above U.

3- Only one person lives between V and T.

 

4- There are only three people lives between W and T.

5- W lives immediately above R. 

6- P lives on floor 3.

7- Only one person lives between Q and P and Q lives above P.  

 

 

8- S lives above U. So case-2 gets eliminated.

So, Final arrangement;

 

Hence, U lives three floors above R.

The logic followed here is:

So, 'RT' will be the missing term in the given series.

Hence, the correct answer is 'RT'.

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

Hence, point K is to the north-west of point N.

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

Hence, point L is to the south-west of point J.

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

Total distance travelled from L to P = LM + MN + NO + OP = 5m + 4m + 10m + 5m = 24m

Hence, the distance travelled by a person from L to P is 24m.
