Reasoning PYQs

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

Option 1: LF - PJ

Option 2: JR - NV

Option 3: YA - CF

Option 4: TI - XM

Thus, YA - CF does not follow the uniform shift of +4 for both letters.

Hence, the odd one out is Option 3.

The logic followed here is:

So, 'YKF 50' will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given:

READ is coded as 4628

AIMS is coded as 5716

So, the code for A = 6

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

Given:

Town A is to the West of Town B.

Town D is to the South of Town A.

Town C is to the East of Town D.

Town E is to the North of Town C.

So, with respect to Town D: Town B lies towards the North-East direction.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

Given Statements:

All kettles are ovens.

All ovens are toasters.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is:

Conclusions:

I. Some toasters are kettles → Follows (Since all kettles are toasters, there is definitely an overlap between toasters and kettles.)

II. No toaster is a kettle → Does not follow (This contradicts the given relationship that all kettles are inside toasters.)

So, only conclusion I follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

thus, "118" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

For, XTBH → BXFL

For, MFKP → QJOT

Now, applying the same pattern to BXLR:

So, BXLR → FBPV

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Third Number = First Number × Second Number.

For, 12 - 4 - 48

⇒ 12 × 4 = 48

For, 15 - 3 - 45

⇒ 15 × 3 = 45

Now, checking the options using the same pattern:

Option 1) 3 - 4 - 14

⇒ 3 × 4 = 12 ≠ 14

Option 2) 21 - 3 - 61

⇒ 21 × 3 = 63 ≠ 61

Option 3) 19 - 2 - 38

⇒ 19 × 2 = 38

Option 4) 16 - 2 - 34

⇒ 16 × 2 = 32 ≠ 34

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

Given Statements:

All cars are buses.

All buses are ships.

No car is a train.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is:

Conclusions:

I. No bus is a train → Does not follow (Only cars are excluded from trains; buses may still overlap with trains except the car portion)

II. No ship is a train → Does not follow (Since ships contain buses and cars, and only cars are restricted from trains, ships may still overlap with trains)

So, neither conclusion I nor II follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given: Seven people S, Q, U, A, R, E and D are sitting in a row, facing north.

Only two people sit to the right of A.

Only two people sit between A and R.

Only two people sit between E and D.

D sits to the immediate left of A.

S sits to the immediate right of U.

Now, the third position from the left end is: Q

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

Given numbers: 700, 496, 723, 316, 639

Logic: Identify the highest and lowest numbers, extract the required digits, and perform subtraction.

Arranging the numbers:

Highest number = 723

Lowest number = 316

Result 6 − 2 = 4

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

Given numbers: 853, 139

Logic: Identify the highest and lowest numbers, then extract the required digits and compute their sum.

Arranging the numbers:

Highest number = 853

Lowest number = 139

Result: 3 + 3 = 6

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The logic followed here is:

Given:

Gyalmu drives 15 km East

He turns right → 16 km South

He turns right → 17 km West

He turns right → 18 km North

He turns right → 2 km East

So, To reach Point A, he must go 2 km South.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

Given:

Total number of people = 144

Mr.Lkj is 65^th from the left end

and Mr. Ihg is 8^th from the right end.

Number of people between them = 144 − (65 + 8) = 144 − 73 = 71.

So, there are 71 people between Mr. Lkj and Mr. Ihg.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given number: 28369475

Logic:

If digit is even → add 1

If digit is odd → subtract 2

Original number: 2 8 3 6 9 4 7 5

New number formed: 39177553

Digits appearing more than once: 3, 7, 5

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The logic followed here is:

thus, "77" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 2".

Given:

Total students = 50

Meha is 15^th from the right end,

and Priya is 8 places to the left of Meha.

Priya’s position from the right end = 15 + 8 = 23^rd.

Position from the left end = (50 − 23) + 1 = 28.

So, Priya’s position from the left end is 28^th.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

For, GUSB → LZXV

For, NHIN → SMNH

Now, applying the same pattern to MLKO:

So, MLKO → RQPI

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

BODMAS Table: 

Decoding the given information:

Now, replacing the sign from left to right using BODMAS Rule, we get:

⇒ 405 ÷ 5 + 32 − 16 × 6 = ?

⇒ 81 + 32 − 96 = ?

⇒ 81 + 32 = 113

⇒ 113 − 96 = ?

⇒ 17

Hence, the correct option is "Option 3".

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

Now, we identify the distinct vowels (A, E, I, O, U) present in the series. Each vowel is counted only once, even if repeated.

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

Distinct vowels found: A, E

So, total unique vowels = 2

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
