Reasoning PYQs

Given Mapping:

Given Equation:

8 B 2 D 15 C 25 A 5 = ?

Replace the letters with symbols:

⇒ 8 × 2 − 15 + 25 ÷ 5

⇒ (8 × 2) − 15 + 5

⇒ 16 − 15 + 5

⇒ 21 - 15

⇒ 6

Therefore, the value that comes in place of the question mark is 6.

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.

C is seated second from the left end.

F is third to the right of B.

G is seated to the left of C and at one of the ends.

Only two people sit between G and B.

Only one person is seated between D and F.

E is not a neighbour of F.

The person seated second from the right end is A.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given:

“please go on” is coded as “js tk mj”

“go there please” is coded as “js yn tk”

Therefore, the code for “on” is “mj”.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Logic followed here is: Logic: The series follows a pattern where consecutive multiples of 6 (6, 12, 18, 24, 30...) are alternately added and subtracted to the previous term.

Therefore, the missing number in place of the question mark (?) is 6.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Logic followed here is:

To find the resultant, identify the highest and lowest numbers from the given set, extract the specific digits as mentioned in the question, and then multiply them.

The given numbers are: 627, 543, 658, 719, 482

Highest number is 719 →

Third digit of the highest number = 9

Lowest number is 482 →

Second digit of the lowest number = 8

Resultant = 9 × 8 = 72

Therefore, the resultant is 72.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Statements:

No stump is a ball.

Some balls are wickets.

Venn Diagram Logic:

Conclusions:

(I) No ball is a stump: Follows (Because “No stump is a ball” also means “No ball is a stump”.)

(II) No wicket is a ball: Does not follows (Because the statement says “Some balls are wickets”, which means some wickets are definitely balls.)

Therefore, only conclusion (I) follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given:

Total students = 30

Meera is 10^th from the left end.

Arjun is 19^th from the right end.

Step 1:

Find Arjun’s position from the left end.

Position from left = Total students − Position from right + 1

= 30 − 19 + 1

= 12

So, Arjun is 12^th from the left end.

Step 2:

Meera’s position from the left = 10

Arjun’s position from the left = 12

People between them = 12 − 10 − 1 = 1

Therefore, 1 person stands between Meera and Arjun.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given Series:

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

We need to find the unique digits which are multiples of 4.

Multiples of 4 among single-digit numbers are: 4, 8

Checking the series:

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

Unique digits that are multiples of 4: 4, 8

Total unique digits = 2

Therefore, the number of unique digits which are multiples of 4 is 2.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given:

Arman starts from point A and drives 32 km towards the south.

He then takes a left turn and drives 37 km.

Again, he takes a left turn and drives 35 km.

He then takes another left turn and drives 38 km.

Finally, he takes a left turn and drives 3 km and stops at point P.

Facing west, left turn means south.

Moves 3 km south.

Final Position P = 1 km West of point A

To reach point A again, Arman must move 1 km towards the east.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Here, the logic followed is as : In each pair, the second letter-group is obtained by subtracting 2 from the positional value of each letter in the first letter-group.

1. UW − SU

2. OQ − MO

3. DF − BD

4. IK − FK

It is observed that in all the other options, 2 is subtracted from each letter, whereas 'IK − FK' does not follow this pattern.

Therefore, 'IK − FK' does not belong to the group.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Logic followed here is: (Positional value of each letter) + 6.

For

ACEH is related to GIKN →

KMOR is related to QSUX →

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

Therefore, 'JLNQ' is related to PRTW.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given Number: 632517

Rule: Add 1 to each odd digit. Subtract 1 from each even digit.

Step 1:

Apply the rule to each digit:

Step 2:

New number formed: 541628

Step 3:

Largest digit = 8

Smallest digit = 1

Sum = 8 + 1 = 9

Therefore, the required sum is 9.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given Series:

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

We need to find the unique numbers greater than 7.

Numbers greater than 7 are: 8, 9

Total unique numbers greater than 7 = 2

Therefore, the answer is Two.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Statements:

Some silver is gold.

Some silver is cash.

Some gold is fortune.

Venn Diagram Logic:

Conclusions:

(I) Some silver is fortune: **Does not follows (**Because there is no definite connection between silver and fortune.)

(II) Some gold is cash: **Does not follows (**Because there is no definite connection between gold and cash.)

Therefore, neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given:

Total students = 91

Mr. Akte is 33^rd from the left.

Mr. Memi is 22^nd to the right of Mr. Akte.

Step 1:

Find Mr. Memi's position from the left end.

Mr. Akte's position from the left = 33

Mr. Memi is 22 places to the right of Mr. Akte.

So,

33 + 22 = 55

Therefore, Mr. Memi is 55^th from the left end.

Step 2:

Find Mr. Memi's position from the right end.

Formula:

Position from right = Total students − Position from left + 1

= 91 − 55 + 1

= 37

Therefore, Mr. Memi is 37^th from the right end.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given:

Six neighbors — Amrita, Maria, Ruhi, Sunita, Ishaan and Vaibhav — are sitting around a round table facing the center.

Amrita sits second to the left of Maria.

Ruhi is the immediate neighbor of both Maria and Sunita.

Ishaan sits second to the right of Vaibhav.

From Amrita's right direction, the person between Amrita and Maria is Ishaan.

Therefore, Ishaan sits between Amrita and Maria.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given:

Seven people P, Q, R, S, T, U and V are sitting in a row facing north.

Q is sitting third from the right end.

V is sitting third to the left of S.

T is sitting to the right of Q and at one of the extreme ends of the row.

Only two people sit between U and T.

P is not sitting at any extreme end.

Find who is sitting second from the right end.

From the right end:

1^st from right = T

2^nd from right = S

Therefore, S is sitting second from the right end.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Logic followed here is: (Sum of positional values of letters) × 2.

For

YISB is coded as 110 →

Sum of positional values = 25 + 9 + 19 + 2 = 55

Code = 55 × 2 = 110

PKJQ is coded as 108 →

Sum of positional values = 16 + 11 + 10 + 17 = 54

Code = 54 × 2 = 108

Similarly, let's find the code for CNXR:

Sum of positional values = 3 + 14 + 24 + 18 = 59

Code = 59 × 2 = 118

Therefore, the code for 'CNXR' is 118.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given Series:

(Left) 3 3 > + / \ ^ # + @ 7 9 3 6 $ \ + 9 > 6 & (Right)

We need to find the symbols which are:

→ Immediately preceded by a number

→ Immediately followed by a number

Required pattern: Number → Symbol → Number

Checking the series:

(Left) 3 3 > + / \ ^ # + @ 7 9 3 6 $ \ + 9 > 6 & (Right)

The symbols satisfying the condition are:

between 9 and 6

Therefore, the total number of such symbols is 1.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
