Reasoning PYQs

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

Now,

Odd numbers, which are immediately preceded by an even number and also immediately followed by an even number.

So, Needed pattern is: Even Number - Odd Number - Even Number

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

So, total valid odd numbers = 3

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The logic followed here is:

So, the next term = EQR48

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

The logic followed here is:

thus, "103" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 2".

Given number: 63157842

Logic:

Add 1 to each odd digit

Subtract 2 from each even digit

Original number: 6 3 1 5 7 8 4 2

New number: 4 4 2 6 8 6 2 0

Repeated digits are: 4, 2, 6

Total repeated digits = 3

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

Given

Statements:

All mangoes are artists.

All kiwis are mangoes.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. All kiwis are artists - Follows (Since all kiwis are mangoes and all mangoes are artists, all kiwis are artists).

II. Some artists are kiwis - Follows (Kiwis are completely inside artists, therefore some artists are kiwis).

So, both conclusions I and II follow.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

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

Option 1: AD – HB

Option 2: EH – LG

Option 3: CF – JE

Option 4: GJ – NI

Thus, AD – HB does not follow the given rule.

Hence, the odd one out is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

thus, "1126" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

For, LHIG is related to DZAY

For, XTUS is related to PLMK

Now, applying the same logic for NJKI

So, NJKI → FBCA

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

For, NF-KC-HJ

For, LD-IA-FH

Now, applying the same logic for TL-QI-NP

So, TL-QI-NP follows the same pattern correctly.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

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

Now,

Even numbers, which are immediately preceded by an odd number and also immediately followed by an odd number.

So, Needed pattern is: Odd Number - Even Number - Odd Number

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

So, total valid even numbers = 3

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Find the reverse positional values of the letters, add them together, and then subtract 12 from the total.

For, DTWG → 42

⇒ D = 23, T = 7, W = 4, G = 20

⇒ 23 + 7 + 4 + 20 = 54

⇒ 54 − 12 = 42

For, RAYI → 43

⇒ R = 9, A = 26, Y = 2, I = 18

⇒ 9 + 26 + 2 + 18 = 55

⇒ 55 − 12 = 43

Now, applying the same pattern to OZES:

⇒ O = 12, Z = 1, E = 22, S = 8

⇒ 12 + 1 + 22 + 8 = 43

⇒ 43 − 12 = 31

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

Given: Total persons = 50, Amit is 17^th from the left, Vilas has 18 people to his right.

Vilas’s position from right = 18 + 1 = 19^th from the right.

Vilas’s position from left = 50 − 19 + 1 = 32^nd.

Now, Amit = 17^th from left and Vilas = 32^nd from left.

Number of persons between them = 32 − 17 − 1 = 14

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

The logic followed here is:

thus, "-8" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 4".

Given number: 4593867

Logic:

Add 1 to each even digit

Subtract 2 from each odd digit

Original number: 4 5 9 3 8 6 7

New number: 5 3 7 1 9 7 5

Now, Second from the left = 3

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

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

Now,

Odd numbers, which are immediately preceded by an even number and also immediately followed by an even number.

So, Needed pattern is: Even Number - Odd Number - Even Number

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

So, total valid odd numbers = 4

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

The logic followed here is:

Logic: To find a person's position from the opposite end of a row, first determine the position from the given end and then use the formula:

Position from Left = Total Students − Position from Right + 1

Now,

Mr. Hepa = 9^th from the Right

Mr. Annu is 13 places to the left of Mr. Hepa

⇒ Position of Mr. Annu from the Right = 9 + 13

⇒ Position of Mr. Annu from the Right = 22

So, Total Students = 95

⇒ Position of Mr. Annu from the Left = 95 − 22 + 1

⇒ Position of Mr. Annu from the Left = 74

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

Logic: (1^st number + 2^nd number) + 17 = 3^rd number

For, (17, 25, 59)

⇒ 17 + 25 = 42

⇒ 42 + 17 = 59

For, (5, 13, 35)

⇒ 5 + 13 = 18

⇒ 18 + 17 = 35

Now, checking the options using the same pattern:

Option 1) (9, 17, 25)

⇒ 9 + 17 = 26

⇒ 26 + 17 = 43 ≠ 25

Option 2) (13, 21, 51)

⇒ 13 + 21 = 34

⇒ 34 + 17 = 51

Option 3) (11, 19, 48)

⇒ 11 + 19 = 30

⇒ 30 + 17 = 47 ≠ 48

Option 4) (15, 7, 23)

⇒ 15 + 7 = 22

⇒ 22 + 17 = 39 ≠ 23

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The logic followed here is:

Given:

HAVE → 4579

VOLT → 2438

So, V → 4

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

BODMAS Table: 

Given equation: 16 × 4 + 3 − 4 ÷ 8 = ?

Now, replacing the symbols as:

 

⇒ 16 ÷ 4 − 3 × 4 + 8 = ?

⇒ 4 − 3 × 4 + 8 = ?

⇒ 4 − 12 + 8 = ?

⇒ −8 + 8 = ?

⇒ 0

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

Given

Statements:

All helmets are mats.

All helmets are bottles.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. Some mats are bottles - Follows (Since all helmets are both mats and bottles, there is a common overlap between mats and bottles).

II. All bottles are helmets - Does not follow (The statements only say that all helmets are bottles, not that all bottles are helmets).

So, only conclusion I follows.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.
