Reasoning PYQs

Given:

Total students in the row = 97

Mr. Akte is 9^th from the right end.

Mr. Memi sits 18 places to the left of Mr. Akte.

Step 1:

Find Mr. Akte’s position from the left end.

Formula:

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

= 97 − 9 + 1

= 89

So, Mr. Akte is 89^th from the left end.

Step 2:

Mr. Memi is 18 places to the left of Mr. Akte.

So,

89 − 18 = 71

Therefore, Mr. Memi is 71^st from the left end.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given:

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

A sits fourth from the left end.

Only one person sits between A and B.

Only three people sit between C and B.

E sits third to the left of C.

D sits second to the right of G.

Find the number of people between A and F.

F is at position 1.

A is at position 4.

People between them are: B and E

Total people between A and F = 2

Therefore, the answer is Two.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given Series:

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

We need to find the even numbers which are:

→ Immediately preceded by an even number

→ Immediately followed by an odd number

Required pattern: Even – Even – Odd

Checking the series:

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

The valid even numbers are:

2 in (2 2 7)

2 in (6 2 1)

Total such even numbers = 2

Therefore, the answer is Two.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given:

Six people G, H, I, Q, R and S are sitting in a straight line facing north.

Only three people sit between Q and I.

G sits to the immediate left of I.

No one sits to the right of S.

Only one person sits between S and G.

R sits to the immediate right of H.

Find the number of people between I and R.

R is at position 3.

I is at position 5.

Only G sits between them.

Total people between I and R = 1

Therefore, the answer is One.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given Mapping:

Given Equation:

11 P 3 S (30 Q 5) P 2 R 15 S 6 P 2

Replace the letters with symbols:

⇒ 11 × 3 + (30 ÷ 5) × 2 − 15 + 6 × 2

⇒ 11 × 3 + 6 × 2 − 15 + 6 × 2

⇒ 33 + 12 − 15 + 12

⇒ 45 − 15 + 12

⇒ 57 - 15

⇒ 42

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Logic followed here is:

The series follows a pattern where each cluster is formed by incrementing the alphabetical position of every letter by 1 and increasing the number part by 5.

 

Therefore, the cluster that will replace the question mark is GCF 68.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given Condition:

‘+’ and ‘−’ are interchanged

‘×’ and ‘÷’ are interchanged

Given Equation:

115 × 5 − 14 ÷ 6 + 15

After interchanging the signs:

⇒ 115 ÷ 5 + 14 × 6 − 15

⇒ 23 + 14 × 6 − 15

⇒ 23 + 84 - 15

⇒ 107 - 15

⇒ 92

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given:

Sunil starts from Point A and drives 57 km towards west.

Then he takes a left turn and drives 65 km.

Turns left and drives 67 km.

Again takes a left turn and drives 78 km.

Finally takes a left turn and drives 10 km to reach Point P.

Calculate final position:

West = 67 km and East = 67 km cancel each other.

North = 78 km

South = 65 km

Remaining distance = 78 − 65 = 13 km towards North.

So Point P is 13 km North of Point A.

To reach Point A again, Sunil must travel 13 km towards South.

Therefore, the required distance and direction is 13 km towards South.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given:

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

E sits to the immediate right of D.

F sits fourth to the left of D.

Only one person sits between B and D.

C sits to the immediate left of B.

A sits second to the left of E.

 

Checking the options:

FE → Not adjacent

BA → Adjacent

CB → Adjacent

AD → Adjacent

Three options contain adjacent pairs, but FE does not.

Therefore, FE does not belong to the group.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is: The series follows a pattern where the difference between consecutive terms decreases by 2.

 

Therefore, the number that should come in place of the question mark is 190.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Logic followed here is:

The all the letter of each cluster is increased by 10 positions in the alphabetical series to get the first letter of the next cluster.

 

Therefore, the cluster that replaces the question mark is MQU 119.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Logic followed here is.

Logic: The series follows a pattern where the difference between consecutive numbers increases by 1 in each step.

 

Therefore, the number that should come in place of the question mark is 118.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given:

Prakash starts from Point A.

1. Drives 35 km south

2. Turns right and drives 38 km

3. Turns right and drives 41 km

4. Turns right and drives 54 km

5. Turns right and drives 6 km to reach Point P

Step-by-step movement:

Point P is 16 km east of Point A.

Therefore, to reach Point A again, Prakash must travel 16 km towards the west.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given:

(Left) 5 € $ 4 9 & & 4 € @ © 7 @ 7 9 1 8 # 8 % 5 £ (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) 5 € $ 4 9 & & 4 € @ © 7 @ 7 9 1 8 # 8 % 5 £ (Right)

The valid symbols are:

→ @ in (7 @ 7)

→ # in (8 # 8)

→ % in (8 % 5)

Therefore, there are 3 such symbols.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Logic followed here is: The second group of letters is determined by shifting each letter of the first group 3 positions backward in the alphabetical order.

For

JGF is related to GDC →

 

FCB is related to CZY →

Similarly, Option 2) BYX − YVU:

 

Therefore, the pair that follows the same pattern is 'BYX − YVU'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Logic followed here is:

Three of the letter-clusters follow a specific pattern where there is a gap of +2 between the positional values of consecutive letters in the English alphabet. One cluster does not follow this pattern.

For

1. GIK →

2. WYA →

 

3. But for UXY →

 

4. FHJ →

 

The pattern observed in other clusters is: +2, +2 gaps. However, UXY follows a +3, +1 gap pattern.

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

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given Equation:

17 ÷ 18 + 88 × 2 − 313 = ?

After interchanging the signs based on the table above, the new equation is:

= 17 × 18 − 88 ÷ 2 + 313 = ?

= 306 - 44 + 313 = ?

= 619 - 44 = ?

= 575 = ?

Therefore, the value that comes in place of the question mark is 575.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Logic followed here is.

Logic: The sequence is formed by subtracting 10 from each preceding term to obtain the next number in the series.

The missing terms are 959 and 939.

Therefore, the numbers that should come in place of the question marks are 959 and 939, respectively.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Logic followed here is.

Logic: The code for a word is determined by summing the positional values of its letters and then multiplying the sum by a constant factor.

For

XANJ is coded as 98 →

Sum of positional values = 24 + 1 + 14 + 10 = 49

Code = 49 × 2 = 98

 

VLQG is coded as 116 →

Sum of positional values = 22 + 12 + 17 + 7 = 58

Code = 58 × 2 = 116

 

The pattern observed is: (Sum of positional values of letters) × 2.

Similarly, let's find the code for ZRHU:

Sum of positional values = 26 + 18 + 8 + 21 = 73

Code = 73 × 2 = 146

 

Therefore, the code for 'ZRHU' is 146.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given:

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

We need to find the odd digits which are:

→ Immediately preceded by an odd digit

→ Immediately followed by an even digit

Required pattern: Odd digit → Odd digit → Even digit

Checking the series:

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

The valid odd digits are:

→ 7 in (9 7 6)

→ 7 in (7 7 8)

→ 5 in (5 5 2)

→ 1 in (3 1 4)

Therefore, there are 4 such odd digits.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
