Reasoning PYQs

Logic followed here is: (Positional value of the first letter of the 1^st cluster) + 3 = (Positional value of the first letter of the 2^nd cluster).

1) US - ZS →

2. AY - DY →

 

2. QO - TO →

3. SQ - VQ 

 

Therefore, the letter-cluster pair 'US - ZS' does not belong to the group.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given:

Total people in the row = 54

Mohit sits 22^nd from the right end.

Charu sits 15^th from the left end.

Step 1:

Find Mohit’s position from the left end.

Formula:

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

= 54 − 22 + 1

= 33

So, Mohit is 33^rd from the left end.

Step 2:

Charu is 15^th from the left end.

People between Mohit and Charu:

= 33 − 15 − 1

= 17

Therefore, 17 people sit between Mohit and Charu.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Logic followed here is: The resultant is determined by identifying the highest and lowest numbers in the given set and then summing their respective third digits.

For

The highest number 473 →

Third digit of the highest number = 3

The lowest number 125 →

Third digit of the lowest number = 5

The pattern observed is: (Third digit of the highest number) + (Third digit of the lowest number).

Similarly, let's find the resultant:

Sum of third digits = 3 + 5 = 8

Therefore, the resultant is 8.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Logic followed here is: The given sequence is a combination of two alternating series.

Therefore, the number that should come in place of the question mark is 30.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given:

‘some good questions’ is coded as ‘jm ik cd’

‘many good problems’ is coded as ‘cd rc gh’

Common word analysis:

Therefore, “good” is coded as “cd”.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Logic followed here is:

The next term in the series is determined by adding 2 to the positional values of the first and second letters, and subtracting 1 from the positional value of the third letter of the previous term in the English alphabetical order.

For

Next term = JWI

Therefore, the term in place of the question mark (?) is JWI.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given:

Number = 3215674

Rule:

Add 1 to each odd digit.

Subtract 1 from each even digit.

Step 1: Form the new number

 

New number formed = 4126583

Step 2: Find highest and lowest digits

Highest digit = 8

Lowest digit = 1

Difference = 8 − 1 = 7

Therefore, the required difference is 7.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Statements:

All bananas are grapes.

No banana is a cucumber.

Venn Diagram Logic:

Conclusions:

(I) Some cucumbers are grapes: Does not follows (There is no definite relation given between cucumbers and grapes.)

(II) All grapes are cucumbers: Does not follows (Only bananas are grapes is given. It does not mean all grapes are cucumbers.)

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

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Logic followed here is: (First letter-cluster positional values) - 2 = (Second letter-cluster positional values).

For

1. MQ - KO :

2. KO - IM :

 

3. PS - NR:

  

4. GK - EI :

  

 

Therefore, the letter-cluster pair PS - NR does not belong to the group as it subtracts 1 from the second letter instead of 2.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Logic followed here is: (+4, -3, +4) shift applied to the positional values of the letters.

For

HTU is coded as LQY →

PNC is coded as TKG →

 

Similarly, Option 3) XHK:

Therefore, the pair 'XHK : BEO' follows the same pattern.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given:

Sunil starts from Point A.

1. Drives 64 km towards West

2. Takes a left turn and drives 60 km

3. Takes a left turn and drives 67 km

4. Takes a left turn and drives 78 km

5. Takes a final left turn and drives 3 km to reach Point P

Step-by-step movement:

Horizontal movement:

West = 64 + 3 = 67 km

East = 67 km

Horizontal displacement = 0

Vertical movement:

North = 78 km

South = 60 km

Net movement = 18 km North

So Point P is 18 km to the north of Point A.

To reach Point A again, Sunil must travel 18 km towards the South.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given:

‘VALE’ is coded as ‘3751’

‘ULVA’ is coded as ‘1397’

Therefore, the code for ‘U’ is 9.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given:

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

We need to find the even digits which are:

→ Immediately preceded by an even digit

→ Immediately followed by an odd digit

Required pattern: Even digit → Even digit → Odd digit

Checking the series:

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

The even digits satisfying the condition are:

8 in (4 8 5)

6 in (4 6 5)

2 in (4 2 5)

4 in (2 4 5)

Total such even digits = 4

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given:

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

Perfect square single-digit numbers are:

1, 4, 9

Checking the series:

8 5 3 6 2 4 7 9 1 3 5 7 8 4 2 6 1 9 3 7 5 4

Distinct perfect square numbers present in the series are:

1, 4, 9

Total perfect square numbers = 3

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Decoding the symbols:

 

Expression:

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

Therefore, T is M’s brother’s wife’s brother.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is: (First Word Letter Position + 5) = Second Word Letter Position.

For AXB − FCG:

 

For IFJ − NKO:

 

Checking the Options, Option (1) WTX − BYC:

 

Therefore, the pair 'WTX − BYC' follows the same pattern.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Statements:

Some Hammers are Screwdrivers.

No Screwdrivers are Wrenches.

All Wrenches are Pliers.

Venn Diagram Logic:

Conclusions:

(I) Some Wrenches are Screwdrivers: Does not follows (Because no Screwdrivers are Wrenches.)

(II) Some Screwdrivers are Pliers: False(No direct relation is given between Screwdrivers and Pliers.)

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

Hence, the correct answer is "Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows".

Logic followed here is:

Each subsequent number in the series is obtained by adding the factorial of

 

Therefore, the number that will replace the question mark is 896.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Logic followed here is: The third number is the average of the first and second numbers.

(First number + Second number) ÷ 2 = Third number

For (106, 368, 237) →

Calculation:

(106 + 368) ÷ 2 = 474 ÷ 2 = 237

 

For (114, 336, 225) →

Calculation:

(114 + 336) ÷ 2 = 450 ÷ 2 = 225

 

The pattern observed is: (First number + Second number) ÷ 2 = Third number.

Similarly, let's check the options:

Option (4): (146, 302, 224)

Calculation:

(146 + 302) ÷ 2 = 448 ÷ 2 = 224

 

Therefore, the set that follows the same logic is (146, 302, 224).

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Logic followed here is.

Logic: Each letter in the first cluster is shifted forward by 7 positions in the English alphabetical order to obtain the corresponding letter in the related cluster.

For

KFHL is related to RMOS →

MHJN is related to TOQU →

The pattern observed is: (Positional value of each letter) + 7.

Similarly, let's find the relation for OJLP:

Therefore, the term related to 'OJLP' is VQSW.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".
