Reasoning PYQs

Given: A, B, C, D, E, F and G are sitting in a row facing north.

F sits fifth from the right end of the row.

Only three people sit to the right of C.

D is the immediate neighbor of B and C.

A sits to the right of E but left of F

Now, People between G and A →  4 people

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

For MPLQ → SVRW

Now, for ORNS → UXTY

Now, applying the same logic for FIEJ:

So, FIEJ → LOKP

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

Given:

Rohit starts from Point A and drives 15 km towards the West.

He then takes a left turn, drives 11 km,

turns left and drives 18 km.

He then takes a left turn and drives 14 km.

He takes a final left turn, drives 3 km and stops at Point P.

​

So, To reach Point A, he must move 3 km towards the South

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The logic followed here is:

Given:

‘leaves turn brown’ → ka gs rl

‘gather leaves daily’ → ny hf gs

So, the code for leaves = gs.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

The logic followed here is:

For TOIL → BWQT

Now, for ZUOR → HCWZ

Now, applying the same logic for XSMP:

So, XSMP → FAUX

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

Given series: (Left) F J L T M N C R P W X Z K O H A Y Q D G E B (Right)

Logic: Count the number of letters appearing after Q and before E in the given series.

Series positions: Q D G E

Letters between Q and E are: D, G

Number of letters between Q and E = 2

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

Given: S, Q, U, A, R, E and D are sitting in a row facing north.

No one sits to the left of A.

Only four people sit between A and S.

Only three people sit to the right of R.

U sits to the immediate left of E.

D is not an immediate neighbor of R.

Now,

The rightmost end is position 7 → D

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given:

Rekha is 13^th from the left end and Ajay is 6^th from the right end in a row of 51 people.

Here, Number of people between them = 51 − (13 + 6)

= 51 − 19

= 32

So, there are 32 people between Rekha and Ajay.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Third Number = First Number + Second Number.

For, 77 - 3 - 80

⇒ 77 + 3 = 80

For, 12 - 4 - 16

⇒ 12 + 4 = 16

Now, checking the options:

Option 1) 20 - 13 - 43

⇒ 20 + 13 = 33 ≠ 43

Option 2) 11 - 1 - 23

⇒ 11 + 1 = 12 ≠ 23

Option 3) 14 - 9 - 25

⇒ 14 + 9 = 23 ≠ 25

Option 4) 6 - 5 - 11

⇒ 6 + 5 = 11 = 11

Therefore, the set '6 - 5 - 11' follows the same pattern.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

Given: 435, 325, 123, 756, 264

Now, the third digit of the highest number and the second digit of the lowest number, then add them.

Highest number = 756

Third digit of highest number = 6

Lowest number = 123

Second digit of lowest number = 2

So, 6 + 2 = 8

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The logic followed here is:

thus, "53" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

Option 1) GN – LS

Option 2) XF – CK

Option 3) VC – BH

Option 4) MD – RI

Here, VC – BH is odd from the given options.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

So, the missing term = XNG 62

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

thus, "302" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 2'.

The logic followed here is:

Option 1) GU – KY

Option 2) LR – PV

Option 3) PC – TG

Option 4) EK – IP

Here, EK – IP is odd from the given options.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

Given:

‘ride waves carefully’ → el uw cb

‘waves crash loud’ → sr cb vq

So, the code for waves = cb.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

BODMAS Table: 

Decoding the given information:

 

Now, Checking given options by replacing the numbers and using BODMAS Rule, we get:

Option 1) 56 and 28

⇒ (28 ÷ 14) × 3 + 7 × 9 − 15 × 5 + 56

⇒ 2 × 3 + 63 − 75 + 56

⇒ 6 + 63 − 75 + 56

⇒ 69 − 75 + 56

⇒ −6 + 56

⇒ 50

 

Option 2) 7 and 14

⇒ (56 ÷ 7) × 3 + 14 × 9 − 15 × 5 + 28 = 103

⇒ 8 × 3 + 126 − 75 + 28 = 103

⇒ 24 + 126 − 75 + 28 = 103

⇒ 150 − 75 + 28 = 103

⇒ 75 + 28 = 103

⇒ 103 = 103

Option 3) 5 and 7

 

⇒ (56 ÷ 14) × 3 + 5 × 9 − 15 × 7 + 28

⇒ 4 × 3 + 45 − 105 + 28

⇒ 12 + 45 − 105 + 28

⇒ 57 − 105 + 28

⇒ −48 + 28

⇒ −20

Option 4) 28 and 14

⇒ (56 ÷ 28) × 3 + 7 × 9 − 15 × 5 + 14

⇒ 2 × 3 + 63 − 75 + 14

⇒ 6 + 63 − 75 + 14

⇒ 69 − 75 + 14

⇒ −6 + 14

⇒ 8

 

Hence, the correct option is "Option 2".

Given: G, H, I, Q, R and S are sitting in a row facing north.

Only two people sit to the right of Q.

Only one person sits between Q and S.

Only one person sits between H and R.

R sits to the immediate left of Q.

Only I sits to the right of G.

Now, People between H and G are:  3 people

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given: (Left) 5 7 9 4 2 1 4 7 9 3 2 6 8 5 4 1 9 5 4 3 2 (Right)

Now,

Even digits, which are immediately preceded by an even digit and also immediately followed by an even digit.

So, Needed pattern is: Even Digit - Even Digit - Even Digit

(Left) 5 7 9 4 2 1 4 7 9 3 2 6 8 5 4 1 9 5 4 3 2 (Right)

So, total valid even digits = 1

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

For HOCX → SZNI

Now, for ZGUP → KRFA

Now, applying the same logic for GNBW:

So, GNBW → RYMH

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
