Reasoning PYQs

The logic followed here is:

Option 1) EIM

Option 2) WBF

Option 3) MRV

Option 4) TYC

Here, EIM is odd from the given options.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given

Statements:

Some bats are nets.

All cubs are nets.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. Some bats are cubs – Does not follow (No direct relation is given between bats and cubs).

II. All nets are cubs – Does not follow (Only all cubs are nets is given, not the reverse).

So, neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

For JITD → EEQB

Now, for QHSB → LDPZ

Now, applying the same logic for TNYT:

So, TNYT → OJVR

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given: 629, 125, 534, 756, 438

Now, Arrange the numbers in ascending order and compare their positions with the original sequence.

Original sequence: 629 125 534 756 438

Ascending order: 125 438 534 629 756

Only one number, 534, remains in the same position.

So, total unchanged positions = 1

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The logic followed here is:

Given:

Anand starts from Point A and drives 43 km towards the south.

He then takes a left turn, drives 40 km, turns left and drives 45 km.

He then takes a left turn and drives 51 km.

He takes a final left turn, drives 2 km and stops at Point P.

 

So, To reach Point A, he must go 11 km towards the East

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

Given

Statements:

All pencils are erasers.

All pencils are rulers.

All rulers are boxes.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. All pencils are boxes – Follows (All pencils are rulers and all rulers are boxes, so all pencils are boxes).

II. Some rulers are erasers –  Follows (Pencils are common to both rulers and erasers, so some rulers are erasers).

So, both conclusion I and conclusion II follow.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given:

Raman is 10^th from the top and 5^th from the bottom.

Here, Total students = 10 + 5 − 1 = 14

So, there are 14 students in the class.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Family Chart:

Decoding the Symbols:

Given: N ÷ O × P − Q + S

It means: N is the mother of O, O is the brother of P, P is the father of Q, and Q is the sister of S.

Hence, N is the grandmother of S from the father’s side, i.e., father’s mother.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Third Number = First Number + Second Number + 16.

For, (5, 14, 35) →

⇒ 5 + 14 = 19

⇒ 19 + 16 = 35

For, (4, 13, 33) →

⇒ 4 + 13 = 17

⇒ 17 + 16 = 33

Now, checking the options:

Option 1) (7, 16, 40)

⇒ 7 + 16 = 23

⇒ 23 + 16 = 39 ≠ 40

Option 2) (8, 17, 27)

⇒ 8 + 17 = 25

⇒ 25 + 16 = 41 ≠ 27

Option 3) (16, 7, 21)

⇒ 16 + 7 = 23

⇒ 23 + 16 = 39 ≠ 21

Option 4) (10, 19, 45)

⇒ 10 + 19 = 29

⇒ 29 + 16 = 45

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

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

Now,

Odd digits, which are immediately preceded by an odd digit and also immediately followed by an odd digit.

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

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

So, total valid odd digits = 9

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

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

Only two people sit to the left of U.

Only three people sit between U and R.

Only one person sits between R and S.

E sits to the immediate left of A.

D is not an immediate neighbor of R.

Now, People to the right of Q  →  1

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

Given:

Ravi drove 20 km from his office towards the north.

He then took a right turn and drove 5 km.

He took another right turn and drove 10 km,

and then turned right, drove 5 km,

and stopped at point A.

 

​

Hence, the shortest distance from the starting point is 10 km

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

The logic followed here is:

Given:

YARN → 5731

ROSE → 2148

So, the code for R = 1.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

Given: Seven people A, B, C, D, E, F and G are sitting around a circular table facing the centre.

B sits second to the right of A.

E sits to the immediate left of A.

C is the immediate neighbour of F and G.

D sits second to the left of F.

 

So, No person sits between E and G.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

Given number: 5431786

Logic:

Add 1 to each odd digit

Subtract 2 from each even digit

Original number: 5 4 3 1 7 8 6

New number: 6 2 4 2 8 6 4

Now, Highest digit = 8

Lowest digit = 2

Difference = 8 − 2 = 6

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

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

Only three people are seated to the left of H.

Only Q is seated to the right of S.

Only three people are seated between Q and I.

G is seated at some place to the right of R.

Now, People between R and S → 3

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

thus, "323" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

thus, "228" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 4".

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

Now,

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

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

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

So, total valid even numbers = 1

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

BODMAS Table: 

Decoding the given information:

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

⇒ 59 × 4 ÷ 2 + 150 × 2 − 102 ÷ 2 − 15 ÷ 5 − 10

⇒ 59 × 2 + 150 × 2 − 51 − 3 − 10

⇒ 118 + 300 − 51 − 3 − 10

⇒ 418 − 51 − 3 − 10

⇒ 367 − 3 − 10

⇒ 364 − 10

⇒ 354

Hence, the correct option is "Option 2".
