Reasoning PYQs

The logic followed here is:

Given:

Piyush starts from Point X and drives 6 km towards east.

He then takes a left turn, drives 3 km, turns right, and drives 5 km.

He then takes a right turn and drives 3 km.

Finally, he takes a right turn, drives 5 km, and stops at Point P.

To reach Point X, he must go 6 km towards the West

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

Family Chart:

Decoding the Symbols:

Given: L × O # V @ E + R

It means: L is the wife of O, O is the brother of V, V is the father of E, and E is the sister of R.

Since, L is the father’s brother’s wife of R.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

BODMAS Table: 

Decoding the given information:

Now, replacing the sign from left to right using BODMAS Rule, we get:

⇒ 24 × 2 ÷ 4 + 5 − 3 = ?

⇒ 48 ÷ 4 + 5 − 3 = ?

⇒ 12 + 5 − 3 = ?

⇒ 17 − 3 = ?

⇒ 14

Hence, the correct option is "Option 4".

Given

Statements:

All flutes are drums.

All drums are guitars.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. No guitar is a flute – Does not follow (Since all flutes are guitars, some guitars must be flutes, so this contradicts the statement).

II. Some guitars are flutes – Follows All flutes are guitars, so definitely some guitars are flutes).

So, only conclusion II follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given:

Miku is 12^th from the right end and Pushkar sits 5 places to the left of Miku in a row of 50 students.

Here,

Pushkar’s position from the right end = 12 + 5 = 17^th

Now, Pushkar’s position from the left end = 50 − 17 + 1 = 34^th

So, Pushkar is 34^th from the left end.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

BODMAS Table: 

Decoding the given information:

 

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

Option 1) 9 and 4

⇒ (36 − 28) × 3 + 4 × 5 − (108 ÷ 9) + 42

⇒ 8 × 3 + 20 − 12 + 42

⇒ 24 + 20 − 12 + 42

⇒ 44 − 12 + 42

⇒ 32 + 42

⇒ 74

 

Option 2) 4 and 3

⇒ (36 − 28) × 4 + 9 × 5 − (108 ÷ 3) + 42

⇒ 8 × 4 + 45 − 36 + 42

⇒ 32 + 45 − 36 + 42

⇒ 77 − 36 + 42

⇒ 41 + 42

⇒ 83

 

Option 3) 3 and 5

⇒ (36 − 28) × 5 + 9 × 3 − (108 ÷ 4) + 42

⇒ 8 × 5 + 27 − 27 + 42

⇒ 40 + 27 − 27 + 42

⇒ 67 − 27 + 42

⇒ 40 + 42

⇒ 82

 

Option 4) 36 and 42

⇒ (42 − 28) × 3 + 9 × 5 − (108 ÷ 4) + 36 = 96

⇒ 14 × 3 + 45 − 27 + 36 = 96

⇒ 42 + 45 − 27 + 36 = 96

⇒ 87 − 27 + 36 = 96

⇒ 60 + 36 = 96

⇒ 96 = 96

Hence, the correct option is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

Given series: (Left) 4 @ 3 % 5 $ 1 # 6 & 9 9 * 5 + 1 ? 6 + = 5 $ # 2 (Right)

Logic: Remove all the symbols from the series and find the 7^th element from the right.

After removing all symbols: 4 3 5 1 6 9 5 1 6 5 2

So, the 7^th element from the right = 6

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The logic followed here is:

thus, "291" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 3".

Given

Statements:

All books are pens.

Some pens are crayons.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. All crayons are pens – Does not follow  (Only “some pens are crayons” is given; it does not cover all crayons).

II. Some books are crayons – Does not follow   (Books are inside pens, but the overlap between pens and crayons may not include books).

So, neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

So, the missing term = OLI 97

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

Option 1) TG – XK

Option 2) DW – HA

Option 3) BN – GS

Option 4) VR – ZV

Here, BN – GS is odd from the given options.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

Given:

TEAR → 5731

POST → 2148

So, the code for T = 1.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

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

Now,

Even numbers, which are immediately preceded by an odd number and also immediately followed by an odd number.

So, Needed pattern is: Odd Number - Even Number - Odd Number

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

So, total valid even numbers = 4

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

Given:

Priya is 9^th from the left end and Neeraj is 27^th from the right end in a row of 36 students.

Here,

Neeraj’s position from the left end = (36 − 27) + 1 = 10^th

Now, Number of people between Priya and Neeraj = (10 − 9) − 1

= 1 − 1

= 0

So, there are no people standing between Priya and Neeraj.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

For LMUG → RHYD

Now, for JNSF → PIWC

Now, applying the same logic for HIVT:

So, HIVT → NDZQ

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

So, the missing term = XNG 62

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

For ANTY → CKOZ

Now, for UIQL → WFLM

Now, applying the same logic for DSNB:

So, DSNB → FPIC

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

thus, "110" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 2".

BODMAS Table: 

Decoding the given information:

 

Now, replacing the sign from left to right using BODMAS Rule, we get:

⇒ 42 ÷ 7 × 8 + 16 − 9 = ?

⇒ 6 × 8 + 16 − 9 = ?

⇒ 48 + 16 − 9 = ?

⇒ 64 − 9 = ?

⇒ 55

Hence, the correct option is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

So, the missing term = KR25

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.
