Reasoning PYQs

Given: (Left) 4 8 @ 3 € 8 & 6 * 6 © 6 $ £ & 5 7 $ $ # 8 $ (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) 4 8 @ 3 € 8 & 6 * 6 © 6 $** £ & 5 7 $ $ **# 8 $ (Right)

So, Only six numbers satisfy the condition.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

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

Now,

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

So, needed pattern is: Even - Even - Odd

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

So, total valid occurrences = 4

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

Given:

Vikas drives 81 km South.

He turns right → 77 km West.

He turns right → 27 km North.

He turns right → 35 km East.

He turns right → 39 km South.

He turns left → 42 km East and reaches point Z.

 

Therefore, to reach Point Y again, Vikas must travel 93 km towards the North.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

So, 'GCF 68' will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3"

BODMAS Table: 

Given equation: (84 A 12) B 5 C 13 B 2 D 11 B 5 C 28 = ?

Now, replacing the symbols as:

 

⇒ (84 ÷ 12) × 5 + 13 × 2 − 11 × 5 + 28 = ?

⇒ 7 × 5 + 13 × 2 − 11 × 5 + 28 = ?

⇒ 35 + 26 − 55 + 28 = ?

⇒ 61 − 55 + 28 = ?

⇒ 6 + 28 = ?

⇒ 34

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

The logic followed here is:

Logic: 

⇒ First Number + 9 = Second Number

⇒ Second Number + 11 = Third Number

For, (5, 14, 25)

⇒ 5 + 9 = 14

⇒ 14 + 11 = 25

For, (4, 13, 24)

⇒ 4 + 9 = 13

⇒ 13 + 11 = 24

Now, checking the options using the same pattern:

Option 1) (8, 17, 6)

⇒ 8 + 9 = 17

⇒ 17 + 11 = 28 ≠ 6

Option 2) (6, 15, 26)

⇒ 6 + 9 = 15

⇒ 15 + 11 = 26 

Option 3) (10, 31, 42)

⇒ 10 + 9 = 19 ≠ 31

Option 4) (9, 18, 23)

⇒ 9 + 9 = 18

⇒ 18 + 11 = 29 ≠ 23

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The logic followed here is:

Given number: 21786539

Original number: 2 1 7 8 6 5 3 9

Arranging in ascending order: 1 2 3 5 6 7 8 9

The digits that remain unchanged are 6 and 9.

Therefore, the number of unchanged digits = 2

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

The logic followed here is:

thus, "12" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 4"

Given:

Total number of people = 54

Mr. Memi is 21^st from the left end

Mr. Akte is 8^th from the right end

Now, Sum = 21 + 8 = 29

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

= 54 − 29

= 25

Therefore, 25 people sit between Mr. Akte and Mr. Memi.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

Family Chart:

Decoding the Symbols:

Given: F # N + O & V % E

It means: F is the brother of N, N is the husband of O, O is the mother of V, and V is the sister of E.

So,  F the father’s brother of E.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

Given

Statements:

Some hydrogens are oxygens.

All oxygens are nitrogens.

All nitrogens are carbons.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is:

Conclusions:

I. All oxygens are carbons – Follows (All oxygens are nitrogens and all nitrogens are carbons. Therefore, all oxygens are definitely carbons.)

II. Some nitrogens are hydrogens – Follows (Some hydrogens are oxygens, and all oxygens are nitrogens. Therefore, some nitrogens are definitely hydrogens.)

So, both conclusions I and II follow.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given:

Kartik drives 9 km East.

He turns right → 5 km South.

He turns right → 11 km West.

He turns right → 12 km North.

He turns right → 2 km East and reaches point P.

 

Therefore, to reach Point A again, Kartik must travel 7 km towards the South.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

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

Option 1: SQ−MK

Option 2: CA−WU

Option 3: MK−GE

 

Option 4: GE−ZA

Thus, GE−ZA does not follow the pattern.

Hence, the odd one out is Option 4.

The logic followed here is:

For, JTUB → HRSZ

Now, for MXNP → KVLN

Now, applying the same logic for LRYH:

So, LRYH → JPWF

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given:

‘go there now’ is coded as ‘lb gt de’

‘go to school’ is coded as ‘kj ft de’

So, go = de

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given: Seven friends L, M, N, O, Q, R and S are sitting in a straight line facing north.

No one sits to the right of S.

S sits immediately to the right of Q.

Only three people sit between S and N.

R sits third to the left of M.

O sits to the immediate right of M.

Between them are  3 people.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

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

Vowels: A, E, I, O, U

We need consonants that are: Consonant → Consonant → Vowel

So, the valid groups are MXA, LWO, PYE, and JVU.

Total number of such cases = 4

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

The logic followed here is:

thus, "92" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

Given numbers: 654, 842, 684, 714, 385

Arranging in ascending order: 385, 654, 684, 714, 842

Now comparing positions:

The numbers that remain in the same position are 684 and 714.

Therefore, the number of unchanged positions = 2

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

BODMAS Table: 

Given equation: 12 C 52 A 13 B 7 D 31 = ?

Now, replacing the symbols as:

 

⇒ 12 + 52 ÷ 13 × 7 − 31 = ?

⇒ 12 + 4 × 7 − 31 = ?

⇒ 12 + 28 − 31 = ?

⇒ 40 − 31 = ?

⇒ 9

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.
