Reasoning PYQs

Given: (Left) 1 4 * @ 9 & & £ $ 7 2 8 & 9 5 £ £ # 6 * 1 % (Right)

Now,

We need to identify numbers that are immediately preceded by a number and immediately followed by a symbol.

So, the required pattern is: Number → Number → Symbol

(Left) **1 4 *** @ 9 & & £ $ 7 2 8 & 9 5 £ £ # 6 * 1 % (Right)

Total instances found = 3

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

thus, "73" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 3".

Given:

Ashish starts from Point K and drives 12 km towards the east.

He then takes a right turn and drives 10 km.

He turns left and drives 3 km.

He then takes a right turn and drives 5 km.

He then takes a right turn and drives 18 km.

He takes a final right turn and drives 15 km and stops at Point Z.

 

Therefore, Point Z is 3 km towards the west of Point K.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

The logic followed here is:

For, INKS → KINS → SKNI

Now, READ → ARED → DAER

 

Now, checking the options:

Option 1) PLAY → LPAY → YLAP

Option 2) HOME → MHOE → EMOH

Option 3) TOMB → MTOB → OMBT

Option 4) FROM → FORM → MORF

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

BODMAS Table: 

Given equation: 8 − 7 ÷ 39 × 13 + 12 = ?

Now, replacing the symbols as:

 

⇒ 8 + 7 × 39 ÷ 13 − 12 = ?

⇒ 8 + 7 × 3 − 12 = ?

⇒ 8 + 21 − 12 = ?

⇒ 29 − 12 = ?

⇒ 17

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

So, the next term = TUH

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The logic followed here is:

Logic:

First number − Second number = 9

Third number − Second number = 5

(15, 6, 11)

⇒ 15 − 6 = 9

⇒ 11 − 6 = 5

(24, 15, 20)

⇒ 24 − 15 = 9

⇒ 20 − 15 = 5

Now, checking the options:

Option 1) (19, 28, 33)

⇒ 19 − 28 = −9

⇒ 33 − 28 = 5 (does not satisfy both conditions)

Option 2) (16, 7, 12)

⇒ 16 − 7 = 9

⇒ 12 − 7 = 5

Option 3) (18, 9, 4)

⇒ 18 − 9 = 9

⇒ 4 − 9 = −5

Option 4) (23, 14, 9)

⇒ 23 − 14 = 9

⇒ 9 − 14 = −5

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The logic followed here is:

Given number: 716324598

Logic:

Even digit → (Digit + 1)

Odd digit → (Digit − 1)

Original number: 7 1 6 3 2 4 5 9 8

New number formed: 607235489

Now, odd digits in the new number are: 7, 3, 5, 9

Required Sum = 7 + 3 + 5 + 9 = 24

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

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

B sits second to the left of E.

D is an immediate neighbour of B.

A sits to the immediate left of B.

C sits second to the right of E.

F sits to the immediate left of C.

Therefore, A is Second to the right of F.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The logic followed here is:

Option 1) WTX

Option 2) FCG

Option 3) KHL

Option 4) SPR

Here, SPR is odd from the given options because it does not follow the uniform −3, +4 pattern.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

For, OILQ → SMPU

Now, KEHM → OILQ

Now, applying the same logic for TNQV:

So, TNQV → XRUZ

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

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

Now,

We need to identify odd digits that are immediately preceded by an even digit and also immediately followed by an even digit.

So, the required condition is: Even Digit – Odd Digit – Even Digit

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

Total odd digits satisfying the condition = 8

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given: A, B, C, D, N, O and P are sitting in a straight line facing north.

Only two people sit between D and P.

Only C sits to the right of O.

Only one person sits between P and O.

A sits at some place to the right of N but at some place to the left of B.

Between them are A and P → 2 people

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

thus, "100" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 1".

Given:

Rank from top = 14

Rank from bottom = 67

Total number of students = (Rank from top + Rank from bottom) − 1

= (14 + 67) − 1

= 81 − 1

= 80

Here, there are 80 students in his class.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

For, XD 15 → BG 20

Now, MT 25 → QW 30

Now, applying the same logic for LR 10:

So, LR 10 → PV 15

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

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

C is an immediate neighbour of both A and D.

B sits to the immediate left of D.

A sits second to the left of F.

G is an immediate neighbour of both B and F.

 

Therefore, the person sitting to the immediate right of A is E.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

The logic followed here is:

Given:

LEASK → 76432

KASEY → 46837

So, L → 2

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

thus, "0" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 1"

Given:

Asim starts from Point A and drives 60 km towards the west.

He then takes a right turn and drives 55 km.

He again takes a right turn and drives 64 km.

He then takes a right turn and drives 71 km.

Finally, he takes a right turn and drives 4 km and stops at Point P.

So, To reach Point A again, Asim must drive 16 km towards the north.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.
