Reasoning PYQs

Given Information:

→ F sits immediately left of A

→ C sits third to the left of D

→ C is an immediate neighbour of A

→ B sits immediately left of E

C and E have only one person between them.

C → B → E

Therefore, only One person sits between E and C.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Logic followed here is: Each number in the series is determined by multiplying the previous number by 2 and then adding 1 to the product.

 

Therefore, the value that should come in place of the question mark is 191.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Logic followed here is: The first letter of the first cluster is increased by 4 to get the first letter of the second cluster, and the second letter of the first cluster is increased by 6 to get the second letter of the second cluster.

1. MG – QM

2. YJ – CP

 

3. KH – OM

4. LB – PH

   

Therefore, the letter-cluster pair that does not belong to the group is 'KH – OM'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given Information:

→ B sits third to the right of C

→ D sits immediately left of E

→ D is not an immediate neighbour of C

→ F sits immediately right of A

Original Clockwise Arrangement:

Alphabetical Clockwise Arrangement starting from A:

Only three person remains at the same position.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Logic followed here is:

The series follows an alternating pattern of addition and subtraction, where the magnitude of the difference decreases by 1 in each subsequent step (+6, -5, +4, -3, +2).

 

Therefore, the question mark (?) in the given series is 28.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given Codes:

FAME → 7469

COAT → 2387

Therefore, the code for A is 7.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Statements:

All melons are lemons.

No lemon is a pea.

Venn Diagram Logic:

Conclusions:

(I) No lemon is a melon → **Does not follows (**Because all melons are lemons.)

(II) No melon is a pea → Follows (Since all melons are lemons and no lemon is a pea, melons also cannot be peas.)

Therefore, only Conclusion II follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Only Conclusion II follows".

Logic followed here is:

Each letter of the given words is replaced by the next letter in the English alphabetical order.

1) COP →

Word formed: DPQ (Contains no vowels)

 

2) TIK →

Word formed: UJL (Contains vowel: 'U')

 

3) ANY →

Word formed: BOZ (Contains vowel: 'O')

 

4) CAN →

 

Word formed: DBO (Contains vowel: 'O')

5) OWN →

Word formed: PXO (Contains vowel: 'O')

 

Comparing the formed words: DPQ, UJL, BOZ, DBO, PXO.

Only DPQ has no vowels.

Therefore, there is only one such word.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given Interchanges:

• means −

− means ×

× means ÷

÷ means +

Given Equation:

88 − 9 ÷ 195 + 988 × 19

Replace the symbols with their actual meanings

= 88 × 9 + 195 − 988 ÷ 19

= 88 × 9 + 195 − 52

= 792 + 195 − 52

= 987 − 52

= 935

Therefore, the value of the expression is 935.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given Codes:

‘let me speak’ → ko df ty

‘speak the truth’ → df op np

 

Therefore, the code for “speak” is df.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given Equation:

94 − 115 × 5 + 14 ÷ 7 = ?

Interchange the operators:

 

Replace the operators:

= 94 + 115 ÷ 5 − 14 × 7

= 94 + 23 − 14 × 7

= 94 + 23 − 98

= 117 - 98

= 19

Therefore, the value of the expression is 19.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Logic followed here is:

The second letter-cluster is formed by increasing the positional value of each letter in the first letter-cluster by 1 (+1).

1. NK − OL

2. XU − YV

 

3. DA − DD

4. AX − BY

   

All pairs except 'DA − DD' follow the (+1, +1) increment pattern.

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

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Logic followed here is: The series follows an addition pattern where each term increases by consecutive odd numbers starting from 7.

 

Therefore, the value that should come in place of the question mark is 80.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Logic followed here is: The series progresses by applying a specific numerical change to the positional values of the letters in each term to find the next term.

Pattern for each position:

 

Therefore, the term that comes in place of the question mark is SDR.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given:

Kinjal ranked 21^st from the top.

Kinjal ranked 12^th from the bottom.

Formula:

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

Calculation:

= 21 + 12 − 1

= 33 − 1

= 32

Therefore, the total number of students in the class is 32.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given Coding:

 

Given Expression:

X + Y − Z × W ÷ T: X is the father of Y. Y is the son of Z. Z is the mother of W. W is the brother of T.

Forming the Family Tree:

Therefore, X is related to T as Father.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Logic followed here is: The series consists of three letters and a number in each term.

Each element follows a specific pattern as shown below:

Therefore, the term that will replace the question mark is MAT 162.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given:

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

F sits to the immediate left of A.

C sits third to the left of D.

C is an immediate neighbour of A.

B sits to the immediate left of E.

Between E and C, only one person sits:

Therefore, 1 person sits between E and C.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Statements:

Some sandals are crocs.

All crocs are flipflops.

Venn Diagram Logic:

Conclusions:

(I) Some sandals are flipflops: Follows (Because some sandals are crocs and all crocs are flipflops.Therefore, some sandals are definitely flipflops.)

(II) All flipflops are crocs: Does not follows (The statement says “All crocs are flipflops”, but it does not mean all flipflops are crocs.)

Therefore, only Conclusion I follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given Mapping:

Given Equation:

17 P 4 R 65 Q 5 S (34 Q 2) P 10 S 6 P 3 = ?

Replace the letters with symbols:

= 17 × 4 − 65 ÷ 5 + (34 ÷ 2) × 10 + 6 × 3

= 68 − 13 + (17 × 10) + 18

= 68 − 13 + 170 + 18

= 256 - 13

= 243

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
