Reasoning PYQs

The logic followed here is:

thus, "114" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: The difference between the numbers follows a fixed pattern:

Second number = First number + 12

Third number = Second number + 16

(25, 37, 53)

⇒ 37 − 25 = 12

⇒ 53 − 37 = 16

(40, 52, 68)

⇒ 52 − 40 = 12

⇒ 68 − 52 = 16

Now, checking the options:

Option 1) (9, 21, 33)

⇒ 21 − 9 = 12

⇒ 33 − 21 = 12 (not 16)

Option 2) (39, 27, 43)

⇒ 27 − 39 = −12

⇒ 43 − 27 = 16 (pattern not consistent)

Option 3) (32, 44, 28)

⇒ 44 − 32 = 12

⇒ 28 − 44 = −16 (not valid sequence)

Option 4) (26, 38, 54)

⇒ 38 − 26 = 12

⇒ 54 − 38 = 16 

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

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

Now,

We need to identify the unique even digits present in the given series.

Even digits are: 0, 2, 4, 6, 8

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

So, unique even digits = {2, 4, 6, 8}

Total unique even digits = 4

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

The logic followed here is:

Given:

Tarun starts from Point A and drives 65 km East

He turns left → 42 km North

He turns left → 78 km West

He turns left → 71 km South

He turns left → 13 km East

 

So, To reach Point A again, he must travel 29 km North.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

The logic followed here is:

So, the missing term = NZC

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

Given

Statements:

Some chromium are gallium.

No gallium are gold.

All gold are steel.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. Some gold are gallium - False (Since no gallium are gold, there cannot be any overlap between gold and gallium).

II. Some gallium are steel - False (All gold are steel, but gallium has no relation with steel except that it cannot overlap with the gold part. So, no definite conclusion can be drawn).

So, neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

BODMAS Table: 

Given expression: 9 B 3 D 56 A 4 C 6 = ?

Now, substituting the signs: A = ÷, B = ×,C = +, D = −

⇒ 9 × 3 − 56 ÷ 4 + 6

⇒ 9 × 3 − 14 + 6

⇒ 27 − 14 + 6

⇒ 33 − 14

⇒ 19

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

Given:

Building X is to the south of Building Y

Building Z is to the east of Building Y

 

So, X lies to the South-West of Z.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

Given: (Left) 4 © 7 # 3 $ 7 6 4 £ 8 $ 2 * £ & $ # % 1 * 2 (Right)

Now,

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

So, needed pattern is: Number - Number - Symbol

(Left) 4 © 7 # 3 $ 7 **6 4 £** 8 $ 2 * £ & $ # % 1 * 2 (Right)

So, total valid numbers = 1

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

The logic followed here is:

For, ELP : CJN

For, IQW : GOU

 

Now, checking the options:

Option 1) HWZ : FUX

Option 2) BTS : AWP

Option 3) BTD : VRY

Option 4) NRT : FSE

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

So, the missing term = MJK 102

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

BODMAS Table: 

Given equation: 20 × 2 ÷ 2 − 3 + 7 = ?

Now, replacing the signs according to the given mapping:

⇒ 20 ÷ 2 + 2 × 3 − 7

⇒ 10 + 2 × 3 − 7

⇒ 10 + 6 − 7

⇒ 16 − 7

⇒ 9

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

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

Option 1: HE → FF

Option 2: MJ → LI

Option 3: XU → WT

Option 4: OL → NK

Thus, HE → FF does not follow this pattern.

Hence, the odd one out is Option 1.

Given: Seven boxes R, S, L, N, Q, M and O are kept one over the other but not necessarily in the same order.

M is kept second from the bottom.

Only three boxes are kept between M and S, where S is kept above M.

L is kept immediately below S.

Only one box is kept between M and N.

R is not kept immediately above or below M.

Q is kept at one of the places above O.

Now, Boxes below O = 0

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

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

B sits second to the left of D.

F is an immediate neighbour of A.

B sits to the immediate right of A.

C sits second to the left of E.

So, C sits second to the right of A.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

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

Now,

We need to find all unique numbers in the series that are less than 5.

Numbers less than 5 are: 1, 2, 3, 4 (each counted only once)

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

So, unique numbers less than 5 = {1, 2, 3, 4}

Total unique numbers = 4

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

The logic followed here is:

Given:

VERL → 102

GZQT → 76

For, VERL →

V E R L

5 + 22 + 9 + 15 = 51

Code = 51 × 2 = 102

For, GZQT →

G Z Q T

20 + 1 + 10 + 7 = 38

Code = 38 × 2 = 76

Now, for BXNO →

B X N O

25 + 3 + 13 + 12 = 53

Code = 53 × 2 = 106

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

Logic followed here is:

Given numbers: 351, 369, 458, 517, 619

The highest number in the series is 619.

Second digit of the highest number = 1

The lowest number in the series is 351.

Second digit of the lowest number = 5

Sum  = 1 + 5 = 6

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

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

Option 1: OS → NS

Option 2: LP → KO

Option 3: MQ → LP

Option 4: IM → HL

Thus, Options 2, 3, and 4 follow a consistent -1 shift for both letters, while Option 1 breaks the pattern as the second letter has a 0 shift.

Hence, the odd one out is Option 1.

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

No one sits to the right of G.

Only three people sit between G and D.

Only two people sit between D and C.

E sits third to the left of F.

B sits to the immediate right of F.

So, there are one people sitting to the right of C.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
