Reasoning PYQs

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

Option 1: QTX

Option 2: WZD

Option 3: LOR

Option 4: ILP

Thus, LOR does not follow the uniform pattern of +3, +4.

Hence, the odd one out is Option 3.

The logic followed here is:

For, FSZI → AWWK

For, HMRD → CQOF

Now, applying the same pattern to VMYF:

So, VMYF → QQVH

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

Given:

 “storms shake trees” → “fo ej va”

 “hide from storms” → “va ur qh”

So, the code for storms = va

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

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

Only five people sit between B and O.

D sits to the immediate left of O.

Only one person sits between D and N.

C sits at some place to the left of P but at some place to the right of A.

Now, the third from the left end is: C

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

thus, "102" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 3".

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

Now,

We need to find an even digit which is immediately preceded by a perfect square digit and immediately followed by an even digit.

Perfect square digits: 1, 4, 9

Even digits: 2, 4, 6, 8

So, Needed pattern is: Perfect Square - Even - Even.

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

In both cases, the middle even digit satisfies the condition.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

The logic followed here is:

thus, "122" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 1".

Given: (Left) W M T R B L A D N K Y F Q O G C E Z X U H V (Right)

Now, we identify the letters lying strictly between A and Y in the given series.

(Left) W M T R B L A D N K Y F Q O G C E Z X U H V (Right)

Letters between A and Y are: D, N, K

Total consonants between A and Y = 3

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given:

Rajat’s rank from the top = 34^th, rank from the bottom = 25^th.

Total number of students = 34 + 25 – 1 = 58.

So, there are 58 students in the class.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

Given:

Manoj drives 9 km South

He turns left → 7 km East

He turns left → 11 km North

He turns left → 10 km West

He turns left → 2 km South

So, To reach Point A, he must go 3 km East.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Third Number = First Number × Second Number.

For,the set (3 - 6 - 18) → 

 3 × 6 = 18

For, the set (5 - 8 - 40) → 

5 × 8 = 40

Now, checking the options using the same pattern:

Option 1) 4 - 5 - 23

⇒ 4 × 5 = 20 ≠ 23

Option 2) 15 - 3 - 55

⇒ 15 × 3 = 45 ≠ 55

Option 3) 9 - 8 - 64

⇒ 9 × 8 = 72 ≠ 64

Option 4) 2 - 7 - 14

⇒ 2 × 7 = 14

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

Given Statements:

All dusters are wipers.

All wipers are buckets.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is:

Conclusions:

I. No bucket is a duster → Does not follow (Since all dusters are inside buckets, there must be an overlap between buckets and dusters)

II. Some buckets are dusters → Follow (Because all dusters lie inside buckets, so at least some buckets are dusters)

So, only conclusion II follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

BODMAS Table: 

Decoding the given information:

Now, replacing the sign from left to right using BODMAS Rule, we get:

⇒ 76 ÷ 4 + 18 × 9 − 12 × 2 + 180 ÷ 2 − 15 × 3 + 151 = ?

⇒ 19 + 162 − 24 + 90 − 45 + 151 = ?

⇒ (19 + 162 + 90 + 151) − (24 + 45) = ?

⇒ 422 − 69 = ?

⇒ 353

Hence, the correct option is "Option 3".

Given:

‘ships cross seas’ is coded as ‘qn ed jy’

‘spot the ships’ is coded as ‘jy is tk’

So, the code for ships = jy

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

For, ZCIS → WAMU

For, TINV → QGRX

Now, applying the same pattern to ODLK:

So, ODLK → LBPM

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

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

C sits second to the right of D.

Only one person sits between B and C.

F is the immediate neighbour of G and B.

A sits third to the left of G.

Total people between E and B = 2

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

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

Option 1: EKP

Option 2: MSZ

 

Option 3: KQV

Option 4: QWB

Thus, MSZ does not follow the uniform pattern of +6, +5.

Hence, the odd one out is Option 2.

The logic followed here is:

thus, "143" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 1".

Given: L, M, N, O, P, Q and R are sitting in a straight row, facing north.

Only three people sit to the left of M.

M sits third to the left of N.

Q sits fourth to the left of R.

P is not an immediate neighbour of M.

L sits second to the right of P.

Now, the person to the immediate right of M is: O

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given Statements:

All horses are ants.

Some horses are donkeys.

No donkey is a bull.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is:

Conclusions:

I. Some ants are donkeys  → Follows (Since some horses are donkeys and all horses are ants, those donkey-horses must lie within ants)

II. No bull is a donkey → Follows (Given directly: No donkey is a bull, so the relationship is symmetric)

So, both conclusions I and II follow.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
