Reasoning PYQs

Given:

The five three-digit numbers are:

(Left) 715, 906, 570, 853, 418 (Right)

We need to find:

→ Third digit of the highest number

→ Second digit of the lowest number

→ Add both digits

Step 1: Find the highest number

Highest number = 906

Third digit of 906 = 6

Step 2: Find the lowest number

Lowest number = 418

Second digit of 418 = 1

Step 3: Add the digits

6 + 1 = 7

Therefore, the resultant is 7.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given:

A, B, C, D, W, X and Y are sitting around a circular table facing the centre.

Conditions:

1. C sits fourth to the right of X.

2. Only two people sit between Y and W when counted from the left of Y.

3. D sits third to the left of B.

4. A is an immediate neighbour of B and W.

 

From the left of A:

A → W → D → X → Y → C

People between A and C are:

→ W

→ D

→ X

→ Y

Therefore, there are 4 people between C and A.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Logic followed here is:

 

The pattern observed is: (Letter + 11) and (Number + 8).

Therefore, the code for the question mark (?) is PTX 116.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given:

1. Seven friends D, E, F, U, V, W, and X are sitting in a straight line facing the North.
2. Only three people are seated to the left of D.
3. Only E is seated to the right of W.
4. Only three people are seated between W and X.
5. V is seated at some place to the left of U but at some place to the right of F.

People between F (pos 1) and U (pos 5) are: X, V, and D.

Total count = 3.

Therefore, three people are seated between F and U.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given:

Five people A, B, C, D and E are sitting in a row facing north.

Conditions:

1. A sits at the extreme right end of the row.

2. D sits immediately left of A.

3. Only B sits between C and E.

B is at position 2 and A is at position 5.

People between them are:

→ Position 3

→ Position 4

So, there are 2 people between A and B.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Logic followed here is: (+2, -5, -2) applied to the positional values of the letters.

For

UIR is related to WDP →

FRO is related to HMM →

 

Similarly, Option 3) CPP: EKN

 

Therefore, the pair 'CPP : EKN' follows the same pattern.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Signs interchange:

 

Given equation:

45 − 54 × 6 + 12 ÷ 1 = ?

After interchanging the signs:

⇒ 45 + 54 ÷ 6 − 12 × 1

⇒ 45 + 9 − 12 × 1

⇒ 45 + 9 − 12

⇒ 54 − 12

⇒ 42

Therefore, the value in place of the question mark is 42.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given:

‘POKE’ is coded as ‘8469’

‘KIND’ is coded as ‘2387’

Therefore, the code for K is 8.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given:

→ Town I is to the north of Town F.

→ Town H is to the east of Town I.

→ Town J is to the east of Town H.

→ Town G is to the north of Town J.

From Town G, Town F is towards the Southwest.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Logic followed here is: Mathematical signs are changed according to the given conditions and then solved using the BODMAS rule.

Given replacements:

 

Given equation:

18 + 4 − 6 ÷ 46 × 2 = ?

After replacing the signs:

⇒ 18 − 4 × 6 + 46 ÷ 2

⇒ 18 − 4 × 6 + 23

⇒ 18 - 24 + 23

⇒ 41 - 17

⇒ 24

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Logic followed here is:

In each pair, the first letter of the second cluster is obtained by subtracting 1 from the first letter of the first cluster, and the second letter of the second cluster is obtained by subtracting 1 from the second letter of the first cluster.

Option (1) KI − JH

Option (2) FD − EC

 

Option (3) AY − YZ

Option (4) WU − VT

 

 

In options (1), (2), and (4), the pattern followed is (Cluster 1) → (-1, -1) → (Cluster 2). However, in option (3), this pattern is not followed.

Therefore, the letter-cluster pair that does not belong to the group is AY − YZ.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Statements:

All markers are pens.

All markers are sketches.

All markers are chalks.

Venn Diagram Logic:

Conclusions:

(I) All pens are chalks → Does not follows (Because only markers are common to both pens and chalks. It is not given that all pens are chalks.)

(II) Some chalks are sketches → Follows (Because all markers are chalks and all markers are sketches, therefore some chalks are definitely sketches.)

Therefore, only conclusion (II) follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Logic followed here is: Each cluster in the series follows a specific pattern for its letters and its number.

Each letter decreases by 2 in positional value, and the number increases by 4.

Therefore, the code that replaces the question mark is JMK 52.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Logic followed here is:( Second digit of Highest Number) + (Second digit of Lowest Number).

The given numbers are:

515, 758, 761, 726, 579

Highest number is 761 →

The second digit of the highest number (761) is 6.

 

Lowest number is 515 →

The second digit of the lowest number (515) is 1.

 

Similarly, let's find the resultant:

Resultant = 6 + 1 = 7

 

Therefore, the resultant is 7.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Logic followed here is: The difference between the positional values of consecutive letters in each cluster follows a specific pattern of -5 and -7.

1. DYR:

2. VQJ:

 

3. UPI:

 

4. AWO:

 

The pattern observed in DYR, VQJ, and UPI is a consistent decrease of -5 and -7. However, 'AWO' follows a different pattern of -4 and -8.

Therefore, the letter-cluster that does not belong to the group is AWO.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Question:

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

→ Only three people sit to the left of M.

→ Only two people sit between M and L.

→ Only three people sit between S and N.

→ S sits to the immediate left of L.

→ O sits somewhere to the left of R but somewhere to the right of Q.

Q is at position 1.

R is at position 5.

People between them are:

→ N

→ O

→ M

Total people between Q and R = 3

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4 — Three".

Given:

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

Logic followed here is: We need to find odd digits that are immediately preceded by an odd digit and immediately followed by an even digit.

Pattern: Odd Number → Odd Number → Even Number

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

The required odd digits are:

→ 9 in (5 9 2)

→ 5 in (9 5 2)

→ 5 in (1 5 2)

Therefore, there are 3 such odd digits.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Logic followed here is: The series follows an alternating addition pattern where consecutive terms are obtained by adding 5 and 6 alternately.

 

Therefore, the number that should come in place of the question mark is 29.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Signs interchange:

Given equation:

13 − 54 × 9 ÷ 7 + 32 = ?

After interchanging the signs:

⇒ 13 + 54 ÷ 9 × 7 − 32

⇒ 13 + 6 × 7 − 32

⇒ 13 + 42 − 32

⇒ 55 − 32

⇒ 23

Therefore, the value in place of the question mark is 23.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given:

‘book news leaf’ is coded as ‘rk qh aa’

‘leaf gum boat’ is coded as ‘vf rk xl’

Therefore:

→ leaf = rk

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".
