Reasoning PYQs

Given:

Meghnath starts from M and drives 8 km North.

He turns left → 3 km West.

He turns right → 5 km North.

He turns right → 3 km East.

He turns right → 1 km South and reaches point P.

 

Thus, to return to M, he must go 12 km South.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

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

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Family Chart:

Decoding the Symbols:

Given: D * R # A ± C ₹ O

It means: D is the sister of R, R is the brother of A, A is the wife of C, and C is the father of O.

Now, D is the mother’s sister of O.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

Given: Total number of people in the row = 51

Valli is 22^nd from the left end

Mahesh is 18^th from the right end

Mahesh’s position from left = (Total + 1) − Position from right

= (51 + 1) − 18

= 52 − 18

= 34^th from the left

Now,  Valli = 22^nd from left

Mahesh = 34^th from left

Number of people between them = (34 − 22) − 1

= 12 − 1

= 11

Therefore, 11 people sit between Mahesh and Valli.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

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

Now,

We need to arrange the digits of the given number in ascending order and compare their original positions with the new arrangement.

So, process is: Sort digits and check positional matches

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

Now, arranging in ascending order: 1 3 4 5 6 7 8

So, no digit remains in the same position after rearrangement.

So, number of unchanged positions = 0

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

Given numbers: 496, 357, 256, 547, 413

Arranging in descending order: 547 > 496 > 413 > 357 > 256

Now,

Second highest number = 496

Second digit = 9

Lowest number = 256

→ Third digit = 6

Now, Sum : 9 + 6 = 15

Therefore, the resultant is 15

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

For, DWXK → LEFS

Now, for JCDQ → RKLY

Now, applying the same logic for HABO:

So, HABO → PIJW

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

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

Option 1: TRO

Option 2: SPN

Option 3: WTR

Option 4: BYW

Thus, TRO does not follow the pattern.

Hence, the odd one out is Option 1.

BODMAS Table: 

Given equation: 42 B 3 D 70 A 2 C 9 B 4 D (36 A 6) B 3 = ?

Now, if A = ‘÷’, B = ‘×’, C = ‘+’, and D = ‘−’, then:

⇒ 42 × 3 − 70 ÷ 2 + 9 × 4 − (36 ÷ 6) × 3

⇒ 42 × 3 − 70 ÷ 2 + 9 × 4 − (6) × 3

⇒ 126 − 35 + 36 − 18

⇒ 162 − 53

⇒ 109

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given:

Mayank drives 47 km North.

He turns right → 48 km East.

He turns right → 51 km South.

He turns right → 56 km West.

He turns right → 4 km North and reaches point P.

Therefore, to reach Point A again, Mayank must travel 8 km towards the East.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

For, OGAR → 123

⇒ 15 + 7 + 1 + 18 = 41

⇒ 41 × 3 = 123

For, ZAPQ → 180

⇒ 26 + 1 + 16 + 17 = 60

⇒ 60 × 3 = 180

Now, applying the same logic for WVDL

⇒ 23 + 22 + 4 + 12 = 61

⇒ 61 × 3 = 183

So, WVDL → 183

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given: 3 % & @ 1 7 $ 5 @ 2 & 6 % Ω 4 @ 9 * £ 5

Now, We need to drop all the symbols and form a new numerical sequence.

Symbols removed: %, &, @, $, @, &, %, Ω, @, *, £

Remaining numbers: 3 1 7 5 2 6 4 9 5

So, the 5^th number from the right is 2.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

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

Vowels: A, E, I, O, U

Total valid pairs = Y-A, X-O, P-E = 3

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

Given

Statements:

All hotels are restaurants.

All restaurants are cafes.

Some restaurants are bars.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is:

Conclusions:

I. Some cafes are bars – Follows (Some restaurants are bars, and all restaurants are cafes. Therefore, some cafes are definitely bars.)

II. Some hotels are bars – Does not follow (No definite relation is given between hotels and bars.)

So, only conclusion I follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

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

Only 2 people sit to the left of B.

Only 3 people sit between C and F, neither of whom sits at the extreme ends.

D sits immediately to the right of E.

A sits immediately to the left of C.

 

Right side : 5 people.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given:

Arvind is 15^th from the top and 10^th from the bottom.

Total students = (Rank from top + Rank from bottom) − 1

= (15 + 10) − 1

= 25 − 1

= 24

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The logic followed here is:

Given numbers: 826, 117, 681, 964, 529

Arranging to find extremes:

Highest number = 964

Lowest number = 117

Now, 

Highest number (964): Third digit = 4

Lowest number (117): Second digit = 1

Now, performing operation: 4 + 1 = 5

Therefore, the resultant is 5

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

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

Option 1: PLM

Option 2: JFG

Option 3: XTV

Option 4: EAB

Thus, XTV does not follow the pattern.

Hence, the odd one out is Option 3.

Given: Seven people E, F, G, H, I, J and K are sitting in a straight row facing north.

Only four people sit to the left of J.

Only three people sit between J and E.

K sits second to the left of F.

H is an immediate neighbour of G and J.

 

Now, second to the left of J  is I.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

For, DINS → GLQV

Now, for HMRW → KPUZ

Now, applying the same logic for BGLQ:

So, BGLQ → EJOT

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
