Reasoning PYQs

BODMAS Table: 

Decoding the given information:

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

⇒ 608 ÷ 76 − 6 × 37 + 259 = ?

⇒ 8 − 222 + 259 = ?

⇒ 267 − 222 = ?

⇒ 45

Hence, the correct option is "Option 4".

Given:

Mr. Hepa is 9^th from the left end and Mr. Annu sits 56 places to the right of Mr. Hepa in a row of 76 students.

Here,

Mr. Annu’s position from the left end = 9 + 56 = 65^th

Now, Mr. Annu’s position from the right end = 76 − 65 + 1 = 12^th

So, Mr. Annu is 12^th from the right end.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

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

So, total valid even numbers = 4

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

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

Now,

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

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

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

So, total valid odd numbers = 5

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

BODMAS Table: 

Decoding the given information:

 

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

⇒ 9 × 2 − 24 ÷ 6 + 3 = ? − 5

⇒ 18 − 4 + 3 = ? − 5

⇒ 14 + 3 = ? − 5

⇒ 17 = ? − 5

⇒ ? = 17 + 5

⇒ ? = 22

Hence, the correct option is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

thus, "4" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: First Number = Second Number × Third Number.

For, (15 - 3 - 5) →

⇒ 3 × 5 = 15

For, (24 - 4 - 6) →

⇒ 4 × 6 = 24

Now, checking the options:

Option 1) (20 - 2 - 10)

⇒ 2 × 10 = 20 

Option 2) (35 - 5 - 8)

⇒ 5 × 8 = 40 ≠ 35

Option 3) (63 - 7 - 11)

⇒ 7 × 11 = 77 ≠ 63

Option 4) (50 - 3 - 19)

⇒ 3 × 19 = 57 ≠ 50

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

Given

Statements:

All rings are kettles.

All dogs are bottles.

No rings are bottles.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. Some kettles are not dogs – Follows (Rings are kettles and no rings are bottles. Since all dogs are bottles, rings cannot be dogs. Therefore, some kettles are not dogs).

II. No rings are dogs – Follows (All dogs are bottles and no rings are bottles, so rings cannot be dogs).

So, both conclusion I and conclusion II follow.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

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

A sits third to the left of E.

E sits second to the left of F.

D sits to the immediate right of E.

B sits to the immediate left of C.

Now,

People between C and F → E and D = 2

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given: 745, 768, 729, 716, 721

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

Descending order: 768 > 745 > 729 > 721 > 716

Second highest number = 745

Second digit of second highest number = 4

Lowest number = 716

Third digit of lowest number = 6

So, 4 + 6 = 10

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

Option 1) EF – HL

Option 2) VW – ZA

Option 3) OP – ST

Option 4) MN – QR

Here, EF – HL is odd from the given options.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given

Statements:

Some easels are brushes.

Some canvases are brushes.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. Some brushes are canvases – Follows (From “Some canvases are brushes”, it follows that some brushes are canvases).

II. All easels are canvases – Does not follow (No direct relation is given between easels and canvases).

So, only conclusion I follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

Given:

Karthik starts from Point Y and drives 86 km towards the east.

He then takes a right turn, drives 41 km, turns right and drives 61 km.

He then takes a right turn and drives 92 km.

He takes a left turn, drives 25 km.

He then turns right, drives 31 km and stops at Point Z

 

​

So,To reach back to Point Y, he must move 82 km towards the South

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

The logic followed here is:

thus, "224" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

Given:

‘dirt is there’ → mp rc gp

‘clean the dirt’ → hk mp bo

So, the code for dirt = mp.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

thus, "60" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 4".

Family Chart:

Decoding the Symbols:

Given: K & T − R × Z + V

It means: K is the father of T, T is the brother of R, R is the wife of Z, and Z is the son of V.

Therefore, K is related to V as son’s wife’s father.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

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

Now,

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

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

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

So, total valid even numbers = 3

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

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

D sits at the extreme left end of the row.

E sits third to the right of A.

B sits to the immediate right of A.

Now, People between D and E → A, B, C = 3

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

Given:

‘move the rocks’ → ld an ur

‘rocks block roads’ → mp cq an

So, the code for rocks = an.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.
