Reasoning PYQs

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

No one is seated to the left of R.

Only three people are seated between R and G.

Only three people are seated to the right of H.

Q is seated to the immediate left of H.

S is not an immediate neighbor of H.

 

So, number of people between S and I = 1

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

Given

Statements:

All potatoes are bananas.

All bananas are apples.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is:

Conclusions:

I. All potatoes are apples – Follows (Since all potatoes are bananas and all bananas are apples, all potatoes must be apples).

II. Some apples are bananas – Follows (All bananas are apples, so at least some apples are definitely bananas).

So, both conclusion I and II follow.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

Given:

Total people = 52

Dimple’s position from left = 17^th

15 people sit to the right of Avni

Avni’s position from right = 15 + 1 = 16^th

Avni’s position from left = (52 − 16) + 1 = 37^th

Now, number of people between Dimple and Avni = |37 − 17| − 1

= 20 − 1

= 19

Here, the number of people sitting between Dimple and Avni is 19.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

So, 'IMQ 38' will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given:

The shopping complex of A is 6 km West of B.

The shopping complex of C is 4 km North of B.

The shopping complex of D is 6 km West of C.

 

Therefore, the shopping complex of D is to the North of the shopping complex of A.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

thus, "237" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 4".

Given: (Left) 562, 428, 653, 154, 749 (Right)

Now,

We need to identify the second highest and second lowest numbers from the given list, extract the specified digits, and find their sum.

(Left) 562, 428, 653, 154, 749 (Right)

Now, arranging numbers in ascending order: 154 428 562 653 749

Now identifying:

Second lowest number = 428

Second highest number = 653

Second digit of second highest number = 5

Third digit of second lowest number = 8

Now,

Value 1 = 5

Value 2 = 8

Sum = 5 + 8 = 13

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

Given:

‘rain hall pig’ → kq zz nl

‘pig bean error’ → hu mt zz

So, pig → zz

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

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

Only two people sit between A and G when counted from the left of G.

B sits to the immediate left of G.

Only three people sit between C and B when counted from the left of C.

E sits to the immediate right of D.

F is not an immediate neighbour of B.

 

Therefore, the person sitting second to the right of H is G.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

Given: (Left) 945, 128 (Right)

Now,

We need to identify the highest and lowest numbers from the given sequence and then add the second digit of the highest number to the third digit of the lowest number.

(Left) 945, 128 (Right)

Highest number = 945

Lowest number = 128

Second digit of highest number = 4

Third digit of lowest number = 8

Now,

Value 1 = 4

Value 2 = 8

Sum = 4 + 8 = 12

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

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

Now,

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

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

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

Total even numbers satisfying the condition = 3

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

For, HCU → LAY

Now, PYC → TWG

Now, checking the options:

Option 1) XUK → BSO

Option 2) WGD → ABH

Option 3) TKG → XHK

 

Option 4) YCR → AYT

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

Given

Statements:

All bolts are screws.

All bolts are nuts.

All nuts are rivets.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is:

Conclusions:

I. All bolts are rivets – Follows (Since all bolts are nuts and all nuts are rivets, all bolts must be rivets).

II. Some nuts are screws –  Follows (Bolts are common to both nuts and screws, so at least some nuts are definitely screws).

So, both conclusion I and II follow.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

thus, "86" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 3"

Given: Six boxes B, D, E, P, S, T and W are arranged from top to bottom (Position 7 to Position 1).

B is the topmost box.

D is immediately below B.

W is at position 4 because three boxes are below it.

Only two boxes are between W and P, so P is at position 1.

T is below E and above S.

Here, the box at the second position from the bottom is S.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

The logic followed here is:

Option 1) DAB

Option 2) WTU

Option 3) EBC

Option 4) LJJ

Here, LJJ is odd from the given options because it does not follow the uniform −3, +1 pattern.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

Logic:

Second number = First number − 0.6

Third number = First number + 1.4

(57, 56.4, 58.4)

⇒ 57 − 0.6 = 56.4

⇒ 57 + 1.4 = 58.4

(49, 48.4, 50.4)

⇒ 49 − 0.6 = 48.4

⇒ 49 + 1.4 = 50.4

Now, checking the options:

Option 1) (83, 82.4, 84.4)

⇒ 83 − 0.6 = 82.4

⇒ 83 + 1.4 = 84.4

Option 2) (58, 57.4, 60.4)

⇒ 58 − 0.6 = 57.4

⇒ 58 + 1.4 = 59.4 (not 60.4)

Option 3) (91, 89.4, 91.4)

⇒ 91 − 0.6 = 90.4 (not 89.4)

Option 4) (75, 74.4, 77.4)

⇒ 75 − 0.6 = 74.4

⇒ 75 + 1.4 = 76.4 (not 77.4)

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

So, the next term = JXP

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

Given:

Town A is to the East of Town B.

Town C is to the South of Town A.

Town D is to the West of Town C.

Town E is to the North of Town D.

Town B is to the North-West of Town E.

 

From the arrangement, Town A lies to the North-East of Town E.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

The logic followed here is:

Option 1) XB – ZD

Option 2) MQ – OS

Option 3) PT – QX

Option 4) HL – JN

Here, PT – QX is odd from the given options because it does not follow the uniform +2, +2 shift pattern.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
