Reasoning PYQs

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

Option 1: NO−RS

Option 2: XY−AE

Option 3: JK−NO

Option 4: AB−EF

Thus, XY−AE does not follow the pattern.

Hence, the odd one out is Option 2.

The logic followed here is:

thus, "58" 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 = Second Number

⇒ Second Number − 11 = Third Number

For, (28, 56, 45)

⇒ 28 × 2 = 56

⇒ 56 − 11 = 45

For, (41, 82, 71)

⇒ 41 × 2 = 82

⇒ 82 − 11 = 71

Now, checking the options using the same pattern:

Option 1) (54, 108, 99)

⇒ 54 × 2 = 108

⇒ 108 − 11 = 97 ≠ 99

Option 2) (97, 194, 182)

⇒ 97 × 2 = 194

⇒ 194 − 11 = 183 ≠ 182

Option 3) (89, 178, 167)

⇒ 89 × 2 = 178

⇒ 178 − 11 = 167 

Option 4) (77, 154, 142)

⇒ 77 × 2 = 154

⇒ 154 − 11 = 143 ≠ 142

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

Given:

Pari is 13^th from the right end

Vivek is 16 places to the left of Pari

Total number of people = 48

Vivek’s position from right = Pari’s position from right + 16

= 13 + 16

= 29^th from the right

Position from left = (Total − Position from right) + 1

= (48 − 29) + 1

= 19 + 1

= 20^th

Therefore, Vivek’s position from the left end is 20^th.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

BODMAS Table: 

Given equation: 7 B 4 D 18 A 9 C 16 C 14 = ?

Now, replacing the symbols as:

 

⇒ 7 × 4 − 18 ÷ 9 + 16 + 14 = ?

⇒ 28 − 18 ÷ 9 + 16 + 14 = ?

⇒ 28 − 2 + 16 + 14 = ?

⇒ 26 + 16 + 14 = ?

⇒ 42 + 14 = ?

⇒ 56

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

The logic followed here is:

For, MNPM → NOQN

Now, for UVXU → VWYV

Now, applying the same logic for JKMJ:

So, JKMJ → KLNK

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

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

Now,

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

So, needed pattern is: Odd - Odd - Even

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

So, total valid occurrences = 2

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

BODMAS Table: 

Given equation: 42 × 6 − 12 + 3 ÷ 5 = ?

Now, replacing the symbols as:

 

⇒ 42 ÷ 6 + 12 − 3 × 5 = ?

⇒ 7 + 12 − 3 × 5 = ?

⇒ 7 + 12 − 15 = ?

⇒ 19 − 15 = ?

⇒ 4

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

Given:

Town D is to the West of Town A.

Town C is to the South of Town A.

Town E is to the West of Town D.

Town B is to the North of Town E.

 

So, relative to C, B is towards North-West.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given: Z’s position in the class is

Rank from Top = 63

Rank from Bottom = 21

Now,  Sum = 63 + 21 = 84

Total number of students = (Rank from Top + Rank from Bottom) − 1

= 84 − 1

= 83

Therefore, the total number of students in the class is 83.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

Given

Statements:

All bags are shoes.

All bags are caps.

All bags are laptops.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is:

Conclusions:

I. All shoes are laptops – Does not follow (Only bags are common to both shoes and laptops. It is not given that all shoes are laptops.)

II. Some laptops are caps – Follows (All bags are laptops and all bags are caps. Therefore, some laptops are definitely caps.)

So, only conclusion II follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given:

Total number of people = 46

G is 9^th from the left end

Z is 12^th from the right end

Now, Sum = 9 + 12 = 21

Number of people between = Total − (Left position + Right position)

= 46 − 21

= 25

Therefore, 25 people sit between G and Z.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

For, YEVA → JPGL

Now, for QWNS → BHYD

Now, applying the same logic for XDUZ:

So, XDUZ → IOFK

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is based on the alphabetical position shift pattern between corresponding letters:

For, PSQ → MPN

For, GJH → DGE

Now check options:

Option 1: TVS → PSQ

Option 2: TVS → QTR

Option 3: TWU → QTR

Option 4: TWU → PTQ

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

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

Option 1: YBG

Option 2: ILQ

Option 3: CFK

Option 4: JMQ

Thus, JMQ does not follow the pattern.

Hence, the odd one out is Option 4.

The logic followed here is:

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

D sits third to the right of C.

A sits second to the left of C.

E sits second to the right of F.

B sits to the immediate right of E.

 

Between A and F, the people are 4 people.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

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

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

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

Only two people sit between A and D.

B is at the third position from the extreme left.

B is immediate right of A.

B is immediate left of E.

So, exactly one person sits between E and A.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given:

‘AUTO’ is coded as ‘2683’

‘TOUR’ is coded as ‘8136’

So, R = 1

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

thus, "29" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 1"
