Reasoning PYQs

Given: 

Number of people between = (Higher Position - Lower Position) - 1.

Total number of people in the row = 62

Shlok’s position from the left end = (Total - Position from Right) + 1 = (62 - 20) + 1 = 43

Biplov’s position from the left end = 45

Shlok → 43

Biplov → 45

Number of people between = (45 - 43) - 1 = 2 - 1 = 1

So, the number of people between Shlok and Biplov is 1.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

The logic followed here is:

Given:

Town G is to the north of Town F

Town H is to the east of Town F

Town I is to the north of Town H

Town J is to the east of Town I

Town K is to the east of Town J

 

So, Town K is to the North-East of Town F.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

The logic followed here is:

Given:

Nishant starts from Point A and drives 45 km North

He takes a right turn → 44 km East

He takes a right turn → 60 km South

He takes a right turn → 56 km West

He takes a final right turn → 15 km North

 

So, To reach Point A again, he must travel 12 km East.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

Given: (Left) 7 7 & & # 3 3 # 9 1 4 € 4 # # 7 £ $ 4 © 9 6 (Right)

Now,

We need to find numbers which are immediately preceded by a symbol and also immediately followed by a symbol.

So, needed pattern is: Symbol - Number - Symbol

(Left) 7 7 & & # 3 3 # 9 1 4 € 4 # # 7 £ $ 4 © 9 6 (Right)

So, total valid numbers = 3

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

The logic followed here is:

thus, "42" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 2".

Given: Six people P, Q, R, S, T and U are sitting around a circular table facing towards the centre of the table.

Exactly two people sit between S and T.

U sits to the immediate left of T.

R is immediate neighbour of S and Q both.

So, P is an immediate neighbour of both S and U.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

FO-HQ-KM

HQ-JS-MO

Now, checking the options:

Option 1) JS-LU-OR

Option 2) IS-LV-OR

Option 3) IS-LU-OR

Option 4) JS-LU-OQ

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

Given: Seven friends L, M, N, O, Q, R and S are sitting in a straight line facing north.

Only three people sit between L and O.

No one sits to the right of N.

Only one person sits between N and O.

M is an immediate neighbour of both Q and L.

R sits to the immediate left of O.

So, only four persons sits between S and L.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given number: 5718436

Logic: Add 2 to each odd digit and subtract 3 from each even digit

Original number: 5 7 1 8 4 3 6

New number formed: 7 9 3 5 1 5 3

Now,

Greatest digit = 9

Smallest digit = 1

Difference = 9 − 1 = 8

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

The logic followed here is:

Given:

how are you → pl mk jt

where you are → jt mk sq

So, where → sq

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

So, the missing term = DQC

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

BODMAS Table: 

Given equation: 59 − 72 × 8 + (64 ÷ 4) × 8 − 16 ÷ 3 = ?

Now, interchanging Signs ‘+’ and ‘−’, and Signs ‘×’ and ‘÷’, then:

⇒ 59 + 72 ÷ 8 − (64 × 4) ÷ 8 + 16 × 3

⇒ 59 + 9 − 256 ÷ 8 + 16 × 3

⇒ 59 + 9 − 32 + 48

⇒ 68 − 32 + 48

⇒ 36 + 48

⇒ 84

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

Given number: 612374

Logic: Add 1 to each digit (even +1, odd +1) and then find the sum of all odd digits in the resulting number

Original number: 6 1 2 3 7 4

New number formed: 7 2 3 4 8 5

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

Sum = 7 + 3 + 5 = 15

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

Family Chart:

Decoding the Symbols:

Given: G # E # C + K # P

It means: G is daughter of E, E is daughter of C, C is mother of K, and K is daughter of P.

 

Thus K is the Mother’s sister to G.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

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

D sits to the immediate left of F.

C sits third to the left of B.

F is an immediate neighbour of C.

E sits second to the right of C.

A sits to the immediate left of E.

So, B sits at the extreme right end of the line.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

Given:

rat able run → ei bm wx

cap rat ant → bm iy ve

So, rat → bm

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

thus, "27" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

Logic:

First Number × 2 = Third Number

Third Number + 9 = Second Number

For, (8, 25, 16)

⇒ 1^st × 2 = 3^rd → 8 × 2 = 16

⇒ 3^rd + 9 = 2^nd → 16 + 9 = 25

For, (13, 35, 26)

⇒ 1^st × 2 = 3^rd → 13 × 2 = 26

⇒ 3^rd + 9 = 2^nd → 26 + 9 = 35

Now, checking the options:

Option 1) (9, 9, 18)

⇒ 9 × 2 = 18 

⇒ 18 + 9 = 27 (not 9)

Option 2) (7, 23, 32)

⇒ 7 × 2 = 14 (not 32)

Option 3) (17, 43, 52)

⇒ 17 × 2 = 34 (not 52)

Option 4) (15, 39, 30)

⇒ 15 × 2 = 30 

⇒ 30 + 9 = 39 

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

Given

Statements:

Some watches are figs.

All ships are kings.

No figs are ships.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. Some kings are not figs - Follows (All ships are kings and no ships are figs. Therefore, the ships part inside kings will definitely not be figs).

II. Some watches are ships - Does not follow (No definite relationship is given between watches and ships. Hence, the conclusion does not definitely follow).

So, only conclusion I follows.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

Logic followed here is:

Given series: 687, 652, 691, 287, 286

The highest number in the series is 691.

Second digit of the highest number = 9

The lowest number in the series is 286.

Third digit of the lowest number = 6

Sum = 9 + 6 = 15

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.
