Reasoning PYQs

Given: Seven boxes C, F, J, N, Q, S and V are kept one over the other but not necessarily in the same order.

Only three boxes are kept above G.

Only one box is kept between B and G.

Only three boxes are kept between B and C.

C is kept at some place above G.

F is kept immediately below C.

E is kept at one of the places above D.

A is not kept immediately above or below B.

Now, Boxes between C and N = 2 boxes

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given:

Nayan drives 45 km North.

He turns right → 37 km East.

He turns right → 60 km South.

He turns right → 56 km West.

He turns right → 15 km North and reaches point P.

Therefore, to reach Point A again, Nayan must drive 19 km towards the East.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

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

Now,

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

So, needed pattern is: Odd - Odd - Even

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

So, total valid numbers = 3

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

Family Chart:

Decoding the Symbols:

Given: K - T + R & Z x V

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

Therefore, K is V’s wife's brother.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

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

B sits fourth to the left of E.

A sits to the immediate right of E.

Only one person sits between B and F.

C sits to the immediate left of F.

D sits second to the left of A.

Now, check the pairs:

Option 1) FD → D is to the immediate right of F 

Option 2) BA → A is not to the immediate right of B 

Option 3) DE → E is to the immediate right of D 

Option 4) CF → F is to the immediate right of C 

Thus, three pairs follow the pattern “second person is immediate right of first person”, except BA.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

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

Now,

We need to find even digits which are immediately preceded by an even digit and also immediately followed by an even digit.

So, needed pattern is: Even - Even - Even

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

So, no digit satisfies Even - Even - Even condition.

So, total valid numbers = 0

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

thus, "214" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 3"

The logic followed here is:

Logic: 

⇒ First Number × 2 + 8 = Second Number

⇒ First Number × 2 + 1 = Third Number

For, (5, 18, 11)

⇒ 5 × 2 + 8 = 18

⇒ 5 × 2 + 1 = 11

For, (9, 26, 19)

⇒ 9 × 2 + 8 = 26

⇒ 9 × 2 + 1 = 19

Now, checking the options using the same pattern:

Option 1) (10, 12, 5)

⇒ 10 × 2 + 8 = 28 ≠ 12

⇒ 10 × 2 + 1 = 21 ≠ 5

Option 2) (7, 22, 15)

⇒ 7 × 2 + 8 = 22

⇒ 7 × 2 + 1 = 15 

Option 3) (8, 24, 31)

⇒ 8 × 2 + 8 = 24

⇒ 8 × 2 + 1 = 17 ≠ 31

Option 4) (25, 58, 50)

⇒ 25 × 2 + 8 = 58

⇒ 25 × 2 + 1 = 51 ≠ 50

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

BODMAS Table: 

Given equation: 89 ÷ 8 + 684 × 6 − 87 = ?

Now, replacing the symbols as:

 

⇒ 89 × 8 − 684 ÷ 6 + 87 = ?

⇒ 712 − 684 ÷ 6 + 87 = ?

⇒ 712 − 114 + 87 = ?

⇒ 598 + 87 = ?

⇒ 685

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

Given:

‘LEMA’ is coded as ‘4753’

‘MALT’ is coded as ‘3479’

So, T = 9

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

thus, "24" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 2"

Given

Statements:

All tables are golds.

No table is a helmet.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. Some helmets are golds –  Does not follow (No definite relation is given).

II. All golds are helmets –  Does not follow (Tables are golds, but no table is a helmet).

So, neither conclusion I nor II follows.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The logic followed here is:

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

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

So, 'MAT 162' will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given: Seven boxes U, E, D, V, W, F and X are kept one over the other but not necessarily in the same order.

D is kept immediately above V.

W is kept immediately above F.

Only U is kept above E.

Only one box is kept between U and D.

W is not kept at the third position from the bottom.

So, total boxes between X and U = 3 boxes

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given

Statements:

All soaps are oils.

All oils are dispensers.

Some dispensers are towels.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. Some soaps are towels – Does not follow (No definite relation is given).

II. Some oils are towels –  Does not follow (No definite relation is given).

So, neither conclusion I nor II follows.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

Given:

‘SKATE’ is coded as ‘51324’

‘ASKEW’ is coded as ‘47315’

So, W = 7

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is based on the alphabetical position pattern:

Option 1: YX−WV

Option 2: FE−DC

Option 3: UT−RT

Option 4: BA−ZY

Thus, UT−RT does not follow the pattern.

Hence, the odd one out is Option 3.

The logic followed here is:

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

Logic: Each even digit is increased by 1 and each odd digit is decreased by 1.

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

New number formed: 4 5 3 9 0 7 2 6 8

Now, checking frequency: All digits appear exactly once

So, number of digits appearing more than once = 0

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

The logic followed here is:

Given number: 321854

Logic: Add 1 to each even digit and add 1 to each odd digit.

Original number: 3 2 1 8 5 4

New number formed: 4 3 2 9 6 5

Now:

First digit = 4

Last digit = 5

Sum = 4 + 5 = 9

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.
