Reasoning PYQs

Person: M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, and T

Floor: 1, 2, 3, 4.

1. M lives on a Flat 2 of an odd floor.
2. Only one floor lies between M and Q.
3. Q lives east of N.

 

4. There is one floor between lives between Q and O.

 

5. P lives immediately above N.

 

6. R and T lives in a same floor.

 

7. T lives immediately below Q.

 

Here M lives in Ground floor and In ground floor M lives in Second flat

Hence, the answer is Ground floor second flat.

Person: M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, and T

Floor: 1, 2, 3, 4.

1. M lives on a Flat 2 of an odd floor.
2. Only one floor lies between M and Q.
3. Q lives east of N.

 

4. There is one floor between lives between Q and O.

 

5. P lives immediately above N.

 

6. R and T lives in a same floor.

 

7. T lives immediately below Q.

 

Here all the pairs are neighbours which means they are living in a same floor but different flats except O, T (they live in different floors)

Hence, the answer is O, T.

Person: M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, and T

Floor: 1, 2, 3, 4.

1. M lives on a Flat 2 of an odd floor.
2. Only one floor lies between M and Q.
3. Q lives east of N.

 

4. There is one floor between lives between Q and O.

 

5. P lives immediately above N.

 

6. R and T lives in a same floor.

 

7. T lives immediately below Q.

 

Here neighbour of S is P.

Hence, the answer is P.

The pattern followed here is:

1. BQCR

2. DSEU

3. FVGW

 

4)HXIY

Hence, 'DSEU' is odd among all.

Let’s draw the diagram by using the information given below.

1. Biology teacher is sitting in between Economics and Chemistry teacher.

2. Economics teacher who is closest to Hindi teacher is sitting in adjacent right of Biology teacher. 

3. History and Civics teachers are sitting together.

4. Chemistry teacher is sitting opposite to History teacher.

5. Physics and Hindi teachers are sitting farthest from each other.

6. The only left choice is English teacher as asked in the question.

Hence the correct answer is Economics teacher.

Statement:  A = B < C > D = E > G > I

Conclusion:

I. A > G → False (as per the statement A = B < C > D = E > G , There is no definite relation between A and G)

II. I < C → True ( as per the statement  C > D = E > G > I, C is greater than I)

Hence, Only II follows.

Statement:

P < O ≤ U ≤ Y = R ≥ E ≥ B > A 

i) A < Y ⇒ True (as Y = R ≥ E ≥ B > A ⇒ Y > A or A < Y)

ii) R > P ⇒ True (as P < O ≤ U ≤ Y = R ⇒ P < R or R > P)

Hence, both I and II are true.

Given

Statements:

Q > B < R ≥ S < A = P

Conclusions:

I. Q > S → False (as Q > B < R ≥ S < A = P  → No relation between them)

II. S > B → False (as Q > B < R ≥ S < A = P  → No relation between them)

Hence, neither conclusion I nor II are follows.

Given statements,

A > K ≤ O < J,  V ≥ H > A

On combining, we get:

V ≥ H > A > K ≤ O < J

Conclusions:

I. V > O → False (V ≥ H > A > K ≤ O → V > K ≤ O, a clear relation between V and O cannot be determined).

II. H > J → False (H > A > K ≤ O < J → H > K < J, a clear relation between H and J cannot be determined).

Hence, the correct answer is neither conclusion I nor II follows.

Given statements,

N < E ≤ K = P, B < F = K

On combining, we get:

N < E ≤ K = F > B, B < F = K = P

Conclusions:

I. F < N → False (N < E ≤ K = F → N < F i.e. F > N).

II. B < P → True (B < F = K = P → B < P).

Hence, the correct answer is only conclusion II follows.

1. P lives on prime numbered floor.

2. Three persons live between R and P’s floor.

3. N lives two floors above R’s floor.(so, Case 3 and case 4 are invalid)

 

4. O lives just above S’s floor.

 

5. Q lives above M’s floor.

6. M does not live on prime numbered floor. (So, case 2 would be invalid)

 

Hence, P lives on topmost floor.

1. P lives on prime numbered floor.

2. Three persons live between R and P’s floor.

3. N lives two floors above R’s floor.(so, Case 3 and case 4 are invalid)

 

4. O lives just above S’s floor.

 

5. Q lives above M’s floor.

6. M does not live on prime numbered floor. (So, case 2 would be invalid)

 

Hence, four persons live above R’s floor.

1. P lives on prime numbered floor.

2. Three persons live between R and P’s floor.

3. N lives two floors above R’s floor.(so, Case 3 and case 4 are invalid)

 

4. O lives just above S’s floor.

 

5. Q lives above M’s floor.

6. M does not live on prime numbered floor. (So, case 2 would be invalid)

 

Hence, only statement 3) is correct.

1. P lives on prime numbered floor.

2. Three persons live between R and P’s floor.

3. N lives two floors above R’s floor.(so, Case 3 and case 4 are invalid)

 

4. O lives just above S’s floor.

 

5. Q lives above M’s floor.

6. M does not live on prime numbered floor. (So, case 2 would be invalid)

 

Hence, Q lives three floors above R.

1. P lives on prime numbered floor.

2. Three persons live between R and P’s floor.

3. N lives two floors above R’s floor.(so, Case 3 and case 4 are invalid)

 

4. O lives just above S’s floor.

 

5. Q lives above M’s floor.

6. M does not live on prime numbered floor. (So, case 2 would be invalid)

 

Hence, number of persons living below R is equal to number of persons living above N.

Confusion Points

N lives two floors above R’s floor means there is a gap of one floor between N's floor and R's floor.

Given words are:

FAM MAN XTG TEM UUQ

Interchanging second and last letter of each word:

FMA, MNA, XGT, TME, UQU

Clearly, four words FMA, MNA, TME, UQU are ending with a vowel.

Hence, four words end with vowel.

Given words are:

FAM MAN XTG TEM UUQ

Arranging each letter in the given word in alphabetical order:

AFM, AMN, GTX, EMT, QUU

Clearly, GTX and QUU start with consonant.

Hence, two words will be started with a consonant.

Given words are:

FAM MAN XTG TEM UUQ

Adding “E” at the end of each word:

FAME, MANE, XTGE, TEME, UUQE

Clearly, FAME and MANE are two meaningful words.

Hence, two meaningful word will be formed.

Given words are:

FAM MAN XTG TEM UUQ

Changing all the consonant to immediate preceding letter and all the vowel to immediate succeeding letter as per English alphabetical series:

EBL, LBM, WSF, SFL, VVP

Clearly, only one word has a vowel i.e., EBL.

Hence, only one word will be formed.

Given words are:

FAM MAN XTG TEM UUQ

Arranging the given words in alphabetical order: FAM, MAN, TEM, UUQ, XTG

Clearly, two words FAM, MAN will be unchanged its position.

Hence, two words will remain unchanged.

Mistake Points 1. Here we have to count the words whose position not changed after the arrangement as given the questions.
