Reasoning PYQs

BODMAS Table: 

Given equation: 10 ÷ 2 + 21 × 7 − 8 = ? + 5

Now, replacing the symbols as:

 

⇒ 10 × 2 − 21 ÷ 7 + 8 = ? − 5

⇒ 20 − 21 ÷ 7 + 8 = ? − 5

⇒ 20 − 3 + 8 = ? − 5

⇒ 17 + 8 = ? − 5

⇒ 25 = ? − 5

⇒ ? = 25 + 5

⇒ 30

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

Given

Statements:

All models are actors.

Some actors are directors.

All directors are producers.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is:

Conclusions:

I. Some actors are producers – Follows (Some actors are directors, and all directors are producers. Therefore, some actors are definitely producers.)

II. All models are directors – Does not follow (All models are actors, but only some actors are directors.)

So, only conclusion I follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

So, 'ZAW 76' will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3"

Given:

‘lets move on’ is coded as ‘rk ts jn’

‘move on the’ is coded as ‘pl jn ts’

So, lets = rk

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

Logic:

⇒ First Number × 2 + 7 = Second Number

⇒ First Number × 2 − 1 = Third Number

For, (9, 25, 17)

⇒ 9 × 2 + 7 = 25

⇒ 9 × 2 − 1 = 17

For, (13, 33, 25)

⇒ 13 × 2 + 7 = 33

⇒ 13 × 2 − 1 = 25

Now, checking the options using the same pattern:

Option 1) (14, 35, 27)

⇒ 14 × 2 + 7 = 35

⇒ 14 × 2 − 1 = 27 

Option 2) (8, 9, 1)

⇒ 8 × 2 + 7 = 23 ≠ 9

Option 3) (15, 37, 45)

⇒ 15 × 2 + 7 = 37

⇒ 15 × 2 − 1 = 29 ≠ 45

Option 4) (11, 29, 38)

⇒ 11 × 2 + 7 = 29

⇒ 11 × 2 − 1 = 21 ≠ 38

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

thus, "115" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 1"

The logic followed here is:

Given: Aman, Babu, Chotu, Deepu, Ehsan, Farookh, Guna and Hari sit around a circular table facing the centre.

Deepu is second to the left of Farookh.

Deepu is third to the right of Hari.

Aman is second to the right of Farookh.

Chotu is second to the right of Babu.

Farookh is third to the right of Babu.

Guna is not an immediate neighbour of Farookh.

 

So, second to the right of Aman is Guna.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

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

For, MKO → KIM

For, RPT → PNR

Now check options:

Option 1: FDH → DBF

Option 2: FCF → DBF

Option 3: FDH → CBE

Option 4: FCF → CAE

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

thus, "37" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 3"

The logic followed here is:

thus, "193" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 1"

Given: (Left) 9 @ 3 $ 2 ! 1 6 ^ & 9 3 ! @ # 3 $ 5 + ! (Right)

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

Symbols removed: @, $, !, ^, &, !, @, #, $, +, !

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

So, the 7^th number from the right is 2.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

The logic followed here is:

Given number: 56378492

Original number: 5 6 3 7 8 4 9 2

Arranging in descending order: 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2

Now identifying required digits:

Digit second from the left = 8

Digit second from the right = 3

Now, performing multiplication: 8 × 3 = 24

Therefore, the product of the digits is 24

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

Given: Seven boxes E, B, D, S, T, W and P are kept one over the other but not necessarily in the same order.

W is kept second from the bottom.

Only three boxes are kept between W and B.

P is kept at one of the positions below W.

Only D is kept between B and S.

E is kept at one of the positions above B.

So, total boxes between P and E = 5 boxes

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

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

For, DBD → BZB

For,  JHJ → HFH

Now check options:

Option 1: VST → SQS

Option 2: VST → TRT

Option 3: VTV → TRT

Option 4: VTV → SRS

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

Given:

Priya drives 32 km South.

She turns right → 31 km West.

She turns right → 43 km North.

She turns right → 54 km East.

She turns right → 11 km South and reaches point P.

 

Therefore, to reach Point A again, Priya must drive 23 km towards the West.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

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

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given:

Building A is to the South of Building B.

Building E is to the East of Building B.

Building D is to the West of Building A.

Building C is to the South of Building E.

 

Building C is positioned to the South-East of Building B.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given: Anu is 3^rd to the left of Sanjay and Sanjay is 7^th from the right end in a row of 25 people.

So, Anu’s position from the right end = 7 + 3 = 10^th

Total people in the row = 25

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

Anu’s position from left = (25 + 1) − 10

= 26 − 10

= 16

Therefore, Anu’s position from the left end is 16^th.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

The logic followed here is:

thus, "257" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 2

The logic followed here is:

Given: G, H, I, Q, R and S sit around a circular table facing the centre.

Q sits third to the left of G.

G sits second to the left of R.

Only S sits between G and H.

I is not an immediate neighbour of Q.

 

So, there are 2 people between H and I when counted from the right of H.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
