Reasoning PYQs

Given

Statements:

All bottles are cups.

All bottles are glasses.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. Some teapots are bottles - Does not follow (There is no direct relation given between teapots and bottles).

II. Some glasses are cups - Follows (Since all bottles are both glasses and cups, there is a definite common part between glasses and cups).

So, only conclusion II follows.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

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

Now,

We need to identify even numbers that are immediately preceded by an odd number and immediately followed by an even number.

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

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

Total even numbers satisfying the condition = 3

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given: P, Q, R, S, and T are sitting around a circular table, facing the centre.

R is sitting second to the right of P.

T is sitting second to the right of S.

P is to the immediate left of S.

Therefore, the person sitting to the immediate right of T is Q.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

The logic followed here is:

So, 'FYU 50' will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Third number = First number + Second number

19 - 2 - 21

⇒ 19 + 2 = 21

14 - 6 - 20

⇒ 14 + 6 = 20

Now, checking the options:

Option 1) 15 - 4 - 21

⇒ 15 + 4 = 19 (not 21)

Option 2) 9 - 13 - 24

⇒ 9 + 13 = 22 (not 24)

Option 3) 19 - 10 - 29

⇒ 19 + 10 = 29

Option 4) 30 - 11 - 43

⇒ 30 + 11 = 41 (not 43)

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

Given:

A man is initially facing East.

45° clockwise from East → South-East

45° anticlockwise from South-East → East

180° anticlockwise from East → West

90° clockwise from West → North

Final Direction: The man is facing North.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

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

Now,

We need to identify prime digits (2, 3, 5, 7) that are immediately preceded by an even digit and immediately followed by an even digit.

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

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

Total prime digits satisfying the condition = 4

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

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

Now,

We need to identify instances of the number 6 that are immediately preceded by an odd number and immediately followed by an even number.

So, the required condition is: Odd Number – 6 – Even Number

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

Total occurrences of 6 satisfying the condition = 4

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 F.

C sits to the immediate left of F.

C sits second to the right of A.

Therefore, E is Second to the left of F.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

The logic followed here is:

thus, "106" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 2".

Given:

Geetha’s position from the left = 6^th

Divya sits 5^th to the right of Geetha

Total number of people = 19

Divya’s position from the left = 6 + 5 = 11^th

Divya’s position from the right = (Total − Position from left) + 1

= (19 − 11) + 1

= 8 + 1

= 9^th

Here, Divya’s position from the right end is 9^th.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given:

Parash’s position from left = 18^th

Aparna sits 7^th to the right of Parash

Total number of students = 50

Aparna’s position from the left = 18 + 7 = 25^th

Aparna’s position from the right = (Total − Position from left) + 1

= (50 − 25) + 1

= 25 + 1

= 26^th

Here, Aparna’s position from the right end of the row is 26^th.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

BODMAS Table: 

Given equation: 49 ÷ 5 + 153 × 3 − 314 = ?

Now, replacing the symbols as:

 

⇒ 49 × 5 − 153 ÷ 3 + 314 = ?

⇒ 245 − 153 ÷ 3 + 314 = ?

⇒ 245 − 51 + 314 = ?

⇒ 194 + 314 = ?

⇒ 508

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The logic followed here is:

So, 'MLP 36' will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given: B, C, D, T, U, V and W are sitting in a straight line facing north.

All friends sit to the left of C.

Only three people sit between C and T.

Only two people sit between T and V.

B sits third to the left of D.

W sits to the immediate right of D.

Between them are T, D, and W → 3 people

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The logic followed here is:

For, DRAWING → ADRWGIN → RADWNGI

Now, FORMULA → RFOMAUL → ORFMLAU

 

 

Now, applying the same logic for FASHION:

Option 3) FASHION → SFAHNIO → ASFHONI

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

Given

Statements:

All crows are sparrows.

No crow is a pigeon.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. No sparrow is a pigeon - Does not follow (Only crows are restricted from being pigeons; other sparrows may be pigeons).

II. Some pigeons are crows - Follows (No crow is a pigeon, so pigeons cannot be crows).

So, neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

Family Chart:

Given: L @ O x V # E + R

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

Here, L is related to R as Brother’s wife’s father

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

The logic followed here is:

For, WZX → ZCA

Now, CFD → FIG

Now, checking the options:

Option 1) DGE → FJG

Option 2) DGE → GJH

Option 3) DFC → FIG

 

Option 4) DFC → GJH

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The logic followed here is:

For, PNHT → VILQ

Now, MSDT → SNHQ

Now, applying the same logic for IRUI:

So, IRUI → OMYF

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.
