Reasoning PYQs

Given

Statements:

All radios are microphones.

All radios are speakers.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. Some microphones are speakers - True (Since all radios are both microphones and speakers, radios form a common part of both sets. Therefore, some microphones are speakers).

II. All speakers are radios - False (The statement only says all radios are speakers. It does not mean all speakers are radios).

So, only conclusion I follows.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

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

No box is kept above X.

Only U is kept below E.

Only three boxes are kept between E and W.

Only two boxes are kept between W and V.

D is not kept immediately above V.

Now, Boxes between F (4) and U (1): V (3), E (2) → 2 boxes

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The logic followed here is:

Given:

Kiran starts from Point Y and drives 35 km South

He takes a left turn → 22 km East

He takes a right turn → 39 km South

He takes a left turn → 48 km East

He takes a left turn → 26 km North

He takes a right turn → 12 km East

He takes a left turn → 48 km North

 

So, To reach Point Y again, he must travel 82 km West.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

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

Now,

We need to identify all unique numbers in the series and check which of them are perfect cubes.

So, first list all unique numbers:

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

Unique numbers = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

So, valid perfect cubes = 1 and 8

So, total unique perfect cubes = 2

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

The logic followed here is:

thus, "45" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 3"

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

Now,

An odd number is counted if it is immediately preceded by an odd number and also immediately followed by an odd number.

So, needed pattern is: Odd - Odd - Odd

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

So, total valid odd numbers = 2

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

The logic followed here is:

For, JHK → IEG

For, JUM → IRI

Now, checking the options:

Option 1) EOP : DLK

Option 2) QNN : PKJ

Option 3) HIJ : GEF

Option 4) ETI : DQD

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

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

Option 1: EHA

Option 2: IMK

Option 3: GJC

Option 4: SVO

Thus, Options 1, 3, and 4 follow a consistent “+3 then -7” pattern, while Option 2 follows a different pattern.

Hence, the odd one out is Option 2.

The logic followed here is:

Given:

Pooja starts from Point A and drives 20 km North

She turns left → 15 km West

She turns left → 5 km South

Therefore, Point B lies in the North-West direction from Point A.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

BODMAS Table: 

Given equation: 15 − 8 ÷ 4 + 40 × 10 + 10 = ?

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

⇒ 15 × 8 + 4 − 40 ÷ 10 − 10

⇒ 15 × 8 + 4 − 4 − 10

⇒ 120 + 4 − 4 − 10

⇒ 124 − 4 − 10

⇒ 120 − 10

⇒ 110

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3 .

Given

Statements:

Some burgers are fries.

Some fries are tacos.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. Some burgers are tacos - False (No definite relationship is established between burgers and tacos. The overlap may or may not exist).

II. All tacos are fries - False (The statement only says some fries are tacos, not all tacos are fries).

So, neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

Given:

The position of a person from the left end is calculated by finding their position from the right end and then using the ranking formula:

Position from Left = (Total number of people + 1) - Position from Right end.

Mayank’s position from the right end = Gayatri’s position + Offset = 10 + 12 = 22^nd.

Total number of people in the row = 37.

Position from Left = (Total + 1) - Position from Right = (37 + 1) - 22 = 38 - 22 = 16.

The pattern observed is: (Total + 1) - Position from right end = Position from left end.

So, Mayank’s position from the left end of the line is 16^th.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

BODMAS Table: 

Given equation: (90 A 9) B 4 C (28 A 7) B 8 D 9 B 6 C 18 A 2 = ?

Now, replacing the letters according to the given mapping: A = ÷, B = ×, C = +, D = −

⇒ (90 ÷ 9) × 4 + (28 ÷ 7) × 8 − 9 × 6 + 18 ÷ 2

⇒ 10 × 4 + 4 × 8 − 9 × 6 + 9

⇒ 40 + 32 − 54 + 9

⇒ 72 − 54 + 9

⇒ 18 + 9

⇒ 27

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

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

Option 1: LHA

Option 2: AWP

Option 3: GCV

Option 4: YUM

Thus, Options 1, 2, and 3 follow a consistent “-4 then -7” pattern, while Option 4 deviates from this rule.

Hence, the odd one out is Option 4.

Family Chart:

Decoding the Symbols:

Given: Q + R * S − T ÷ P

It means: Q is the father of R, R is the sister of S, S is the mother of T, and T is the brother of P.

 

Therefore,  Q is the mother’s father of P.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

Logic: The third number in each set is the product of the first and the second numbers.

9 - 3 - 27

⇒ 9 × 3 = 27

5 - 4 - 20

⇒ 5 × 4 = 20

Now, checking the options:

Option 1) 10 - 5 - 50

⇒ 10 × 5 = 50 

Option 2) 8 - 5 - 30

⇒ 8 × 5 = 40 (not 30)

Option 3) 3 - 12 - 46

⇒ 3 × 12 = 36 (not 46)

Option 4) 4 - 6 - 10

⇒ 4 × 6 = 24 (not 10)

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

For, GCKO → VRZD

For, OKSW → DZHL

Now, applying the same logic for HDLP

So, HDLP → WSAE

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

For, ILK → ORQ

For, QTS → WZY

Now, checking the options:

Option 1) CEC-HKJ

Option 2) CEC-ILK

Option 3) CFE-HLJ

Option 4) CFE-ILK

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

The logic followed here is:

thus, "32" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 3".

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

Only two people sit between G and B.

Only D sits to the right of E.

Only one person sits between B and E.

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

So, five people sit to the right of C.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
