Reasoning PYQs

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

Option 1: LN − GI

Option 2: SU − NP

Option 3: OQ − JL

Option 4: PR − KN

Thus, PR − KN does not follow the pattern.

Hence, the odd one out is Option 4.

The logic followed here is:

For, EKOV → WCGN

Now, for YEIP → QWAH

Now, applying the same logic for AGKR:

So, AGKR → SYCJ

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given: Seven friends D, E, F, U, V, W and X are sitting in a straight line facing north.

Only three people sit between U and F.

V sits to the immediate left of F.

No one sits to the right of X.

Only two people sit between X and V.

D sits to the immediate right of E.

Between them are 2 people.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

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

Now,

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

So, needed pattern is: Odd - Odd - Odd

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

So, total valid occurrences = 7

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The logic followed here is:

So, 'NPR 0' will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

Given: Piku, Aman, Krishna, Deepa, and Shrusti are sitting around a circular table facing the centre.

Shrusti and Deepa are immediate neighbours.

Piku is an immediate neighbour of both Deepa and Krishna.

 

Now, immediate neighbours of Aman are: Krishna and Shrusti

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given: Five people V, W, X, Y and Z are sitting in a row facing north.

W is sitting at the extreme left end of the row.

There are only two people sitting between Z and W.

V is an immediate neighbour of Z.

X is an immediate neighbour of V.

Between W (1) and Y (5) are  3 people.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Family Chart:

Decoding the Symbols:

Given: C − Q x Y % R − E

It means: C is the brother of Q, Q is the wife of Y, Y is the father of R, and R is the brother of E.

Now, C is E’s mother’s brother.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

Given:

‘HELS’ is coded as ‘4695’

‘ALES’ is coded as ‘5749’

So, A = 7

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

BODMAS Table: 

Given equation: 231 ÷ 3 − 721 × 7 + 24 = ?

Now, replacing the symbols as:

 

⇒ 231 × 3 + 721 ÷ 7 − 24 = ?

⇒ 693 + 721 ÷ 7 − 24 = ?

⇒ 693 + 103 − 24 = ?

⇒ 796 − 24 = ?

⇒ 772

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

Given:

‘LEGS’ is coded as ‘5483’

‘ALES’ is coded as ‘2348’

So, A = 2

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

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

Now,

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

So, needed pattern is: Odd - Even - Odd

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

So, total valid occurrences = 4

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The logic followed here is:

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

Hence, the correct option is "Option 4

The logic followed here is:

thus, "30" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 4"

Given

Statements:

Some bells are pots.

All pots are machines.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is:

Conclusions:

I. Some bells are machines – Follows (Some bells are pots, and all pots are machines. Therefore, some bells are definitely machines.)

II. All machines are pots – Does not follow (It is only given that all pots are machines, not that all machines are pots.)

So, only conclusion I follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

For, EL 14 → BH 16

Now, for PW 22 → MS 24

 

Now, applying the same logic for NU 27:

 

So, NU 27 → KR 29

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

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

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given:

Hemant drives 62 km East.

He turns left → 40 km North.

He turns left → 78 km West.

He turns left → 71 km South.

He turns left → 16 km East and reaches point P.

Therefore, to reach Point A again, Hemant must travel 31 km towards the North.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given

Statements:

All hats are trousers.

All trousers are pants.

No pant is a coat.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is:

Conclusions:

I. No hat is a coat – Follows (All hats are trousers, all trousers are pants, and no pant is a coat. Therefore, no hat can be a coat.)

II. No trouser is a coat – Follows (All trousers are pants, and no pant is a coat. Therefore, no trouser can be a coat.)

So, both conclusions I and II follow.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given: (Left) 5 3 $ 8 % © 1 % 8 * 5 5 4 # £ & 5 5 £ € 5 € (Right)

Now,

Numbers, which are immediately preceded by a symbol and also immediately followed by a symbol.

So, Needed pattern is: Symbol - Number - Symbol

(Left) 5 3 $ 8 % **© 1 % 8 *** 5 5 4 # £ & 5 5 £ € 5 € (Right)

So, Only four numbers satisfy the condition.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.
