Reasoning PYQs

BODMAS Table: 

Decoding the given information:

Now, replacing the sign from left to right using BODMAS Rule, we get:

⇒ 154 × 2 + 49 × 7 − 10 ÷ 5 − 28 ÷ 7 + 25 × 5 = ?

⇒ 308 + 343 − 2 − 4 + 125 = ?

⇒ (308 + 343 + 125) − (2 + 4) = ?

⇒ 776 − 6 = ?

⇒ 770

Hence, the correct option is "Option 3".

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

Now,

We need to find an odd number which is immediately preceded by an even number and immediately followed by an even number.

So, Needed pattern is: Even - Odd - Even.

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

No occurrence satisfies Even - Odd - Even.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

The logic followed here is based on the alphabetical position pattern:

Option 1: QK - VH

Option 2: WH - BD

Option 3: GQ - LN

Option 4: AE - FB

Thus, WH - BD does not follow this uniform pattern.

Hence, the odd one out is Option 2.

The logic followed here is:

thus, "114" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 3".

Given:

Total people = 119, Mr. Ihg is 29^th from the left,

and Mr. Lkj is 7^th from the right.

Number of people between them = 119 − (29 + 7) = 119 − 36 = 83.

So, there are 83 people between Mr. Ihg and Mr. Lkj.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

thus, "208" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 3".

Given number: 3652497

Logic:

Arrange the digits in descending order (highest to lowest), then find the product of the 2^nd digit from the left and the 2^nd digit from the right.

Original number: 3 6 5 2 4 9 7

Now arranging in descending order:

Rearranged number: 9 7 6 5 4 3 2 → 9765432

Second from the left = 7

Second from the right = 3

Product 7 × 3 = 21

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

BODMAS Table: 

Decoding the given information:

 

Now, replacing the sign from left to right using BODMAS Rule, we get:

⇒ 53 × 13 − 391 ÷ 17 + 289 = ?

⇒ 689 − 23 + 289 = ?

⇒ 689 + 289 = 978

⇒ 978 − 23 = ?

⇒ 955

Hence, the correct option is "Option 3".

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

E sits third to the left of B.

D sits second to the right of B.

C sits to the immediate right of F.

G sits second to the right of A.

Total people between C and G = 2

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Third Number = (First Number + Second Number) × 3.

For, (24, 11, 105)

⇒ 24 + 11 = 35

⇒ 35 × 3 = 105

For, (38, 42, 240)

⇒ 38 + 42 = 80

⇒ 80 × 3 = 240

Now, checking the options using the same pattern:

Option 1) (34, 62, 286)

⇒ 34 + 62 = 96

⇒ 96 × 3 = 288 ≠ 286

Option 2) (46, 53, 287)

⇒ 46 + 53 = 99

⇒ 99 × 3 = 297 ≠ 287

Option 3) (74, 34, 324)

⇒ 74 + 34 = 108

⇒ 108 × 3 = 324

Option 4) (93, 12, 318)

⇒ 93 + 12 = 105

⇒ 105 × 3 = 315 ≠ 318

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

Given: Seven people S, Q, U, A, R, E and D are sitting in a row facing north.

Only S sits to the left of Q.

Only four people sit between S and U.

Only A sits between E and R, and E is not an immediate neighbor of U.

Now, the person at the extreme right is: D

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

For, QOHY → WJLV

For, NRBT → TMFQ

Now, applying the same pattern to JRUF:

So, JRUF → PMYC

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

The logic followed here is:

For, JUNC → QBUJ

For, LWPE → SDWL

Now, applying the same pattern to GRKZ:

So, GRKZ → NYRG

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

The logic followed here is:

Given:

City A is to the North of City B.

City D is to the East of City A.

City D is to the South of City E.

City E is to the West of City C.

Thus, City B lies to the South-West of City E.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

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

D sits to the immediate right of B.

E sits third to the right of B.

G sits third to the left of D.

C is the immediate neighbour of D and E.

A is not an immediate neighbour of B.

Total people between F and D = 4

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

Given:

Aarav drives 13 km East

He turns left → 8 km North

He turns left → 15 km West

He turns left → 11 km South

He turns left → 2 km East

So, To reach Point A, he must go 3 km North.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

So, 'WR49' will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given:

VOLT is coded as 6428

LIFE is coded as 5761

So, the code for L = 6

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

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

Now,

We need to find an odd number which is immediately preceded by an odd number and immediately followed by an odd number.

So, Needed pattern is: Odd - Odd - Odd.

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

Only one valid triplet satisfies the condition

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

Given

Statements:

All fans are bulbs.

Some bulbs are heaters.

Some heaters are geysers.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is:

Conclusions:

I. Some fans are heaters → Does not follow (Fans are inside Bulbs, but only some Bulbs are Heaters; no guaranteed overlap between Fans and Heaters)

II. Some bulbs are geysers → Does not follow (Bulbs only partially overlap with Heaters, and Heaters only partially overlap with Geysers; no definite link between Bulbs and Geysers)

So, neither conclusion I nor II follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
