Reasoning PYQs

Logic followed here is:

Logic: Each letter in the first word is shifted backward by 3 positions in the English alphabetical series to obtain the corresponding letter of the second word.

XBNO is related to UYKL →

PAQJ is related to MXNG →

The pattern observed is: (Positional value of letter - 3) = Resulting letter.

Similarly, let's find the related word for FWOM:

Therefore, the word related to 'FWOM' is CTLJ.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Logic followed here is:

The series follows a pattern where the difference between consecutive terms increases by 1 at each step.

Next term in series = 74 + 11 = 85

 

Therefore, the number that should come in place of the question mark is 85.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given Series:

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

We need to find the even numbers which are:

→ Immediately preceded by an odd number

→ Immediately followed by an even number

Required pattern: Odd → Even → Even

Checking the series:

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

The even numbers satisfying the condition are:

2 in (1 2 4)

4 in (1 4 2)

Therefore, the number of such even numbers is 2.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Logic followed here is: Each letter in a group is moving forward by 10 positions in the English alphabetical order to obtain the corresponding letter of the next group.

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

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given:

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

Only two people sit to the left of C.

Only three people sit between C and G.

B sits second to the right of C.

Only two people sit between B and A.

E sits somewhere to the right of F but somewhere to the left of D.

Find how many people sit to the right of C.

To the right of C are: E, B, D and G

Total people to the right of C = 4

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given:

Town X is to the north of Town Y.

Town Z is to the west of Town Y.

Town W is to the east of Town X.

Town Z is to the north of Town V.

Now find the position of W with respect to Z.

W is to the east of Z and also north of Z.

Therefore, W is in the North-East direction with respect to Z.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given Mapping:

Given Equation:

(20 Q 4) P 7 S 5 P 9 R (40 Q 8) P 4 = ?

Replace the letters with symbols:

⇒ (20 ÷ 4) × 7 + 5 × 9 − (40 ÷ 8) × 4

⇒ (5 × 7) + (5 × 9) − (5 × 4)

⇒ 35 + 45 − 20

⇒ 80 − 20

⇒ 60

Therefore, the value that comes in place of the question mark is 60.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Logic followed here is: The series follows a pattern where each cluster's letters are shifted backwards by 3 positions in the English alphabetical order, and the numbers increase by a constant value of 11.

 

Therefore, the cluster that replaces the question mark is MJK 102.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given:

“ROUT” is coded as “1625”

“AUTO” is coded as “1546”

Therefore, the code for “A” is 4.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given Coding:

 

Given Expression:

T + O × R - N & M: T is is the son of O. O is the wife of R. R is the brother of N. N is the father of M.

So, T is M’s father’s brother’s son.

Therefore, T is related to M as Father's brother's son.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Logic followed here is:

The relationship between the letter clusters is established by applying a specific arithmetic sequence (-5, +4, -3, +2) to the positional values of the letters in the English alphabet.

For

DQXG is related to YUUI →

 

GLQC is related to BPNE →

The pattern observed is: -5, +4, -3, +2 applied to the positional values.

Similarly, let's find the code for TKWD:

 

Therefore, 'TKWD' is related to 'OOTF'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Checking Option 1: JMO

Checking Option 2: RUW

 

Checking Option 3: CGH

Checking Option 4: YBD

 

 

 

The pattern for JMO, RUW, and YBD is (+3, +2). However, for CGH, the pattern is (+4, +1).

Therefore, the letter-cluster 'CGH' does not belong to the group.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given:

A, B, C, D, E, F and G are sitting around a circular table facing the centre.

F is the immediate neighbour of both E and C.

E sits second to the right of G.

A is sitting to the immediate left of G.

G is the immediate neighbour of both A and B.

D sits to the immediate right of C.

Final Arrangement:

 

Step 5:

Now arrange all persons in alphabetical order clockwise starting from A:

Step 6:

Compare both arrangements:

Persons remaining in the same positions:

A, E, F and D

Total unchanged positions = 4

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given:

Vijaya ranked 7^th from the top and 13^th from the bottom in her class.

Formula:

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

Calculation:

Total students = 7 + 13 − 1

= 20 − 1

= 19

Therefore, the total number of students in the class is 19.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Logic followed here is:

Arrange the digits of the given number in ascending order and then identify the digits at the specified positions to calculate their sum.

The given number is 1785643

 

Arranging the digits in ascending order (from left to right):

In the new arrangement (1345678):

1. The digit which is third from the left is: 4

2. The digit which is third from the right is: 6

 

Sum of the digits:

Sum = 4 + 6 = 10

 

Therefore, the sum of the digits which are third from the left and third from the right is 10.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Logic followed here is: The difference between the consecutive numbers in the series follows the pattern of cubes of successive natural numbers starting from 1.

 

Therefore, the number that should come in place of the question mark is 11.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Logic followed here is:  (1^st Number × 2^nd Number)2 = 3^rd Number.

For (4, 7, 784) →

Calculation: (4 × 7)² = (28)² = 784

For (6, 3, 324) →

Calculation: (6 × 3)² = (18)² = 324

Similarly, let's check the options:

Option (3): (5, 6, 900) →

Calculation: (5 × 6)² = (30)² = 900

Therefore, the set that follows the same logic is (5, 6, 900).

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Statements:

All caps are hats.

All caps are scarfs.

Some scarfs are mufflers.

Venn Diagram Logic:

Conclusions:

(I) Some mufflers are caps: Does not follows (Because “Some scarfs are mufflers” does not guarantee that mufflers are caps.)

(II) Some scarfs are hats: Follows (Because all caps are both scarfs and hats. Therefore, at least some scarfs are hats.)

Therefore, only conclusion (II) follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given Series:

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

We need to find the odd digits which are:

→ Immediately preceded by an odd digit

→ Immediately followed by an odd digit

Required pattern: Odd → Odd → Odd

Checking the series:

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

The odd digits satisfying the condition are:

3 in (1 3 1)

5 in (1 5 1)

7 in (1 7 1)

1 in (1 1 1)

Total such odd digits = 4

Therefore, the number of such odd digits is 4.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Logic followed here is: (Letter 1 - 4 = Letter 2) and (Letter 2 - 6 = Letter 3).

1. For IFY:

2) For ZVP →

3) For RNH →

 

4) For GCW →

 

Therefore, the letter-cluster 'IFY' does not belong to the group as it follows a -3, -7 pattern instead of -4, -6.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
