Reasoning PYQs

Given Symbol Meanings:

A ± B → A is the wife of B

A * B → A is the sister of B

A ₹ B → A is the father of B

A # B → A is the brother of B

Given Expression:

D ± R ₹ A # C * O: D is the wife of R. R is the father of A. A is the brother of C. C is the sister of O.

Therefore, D is related to O as Mother.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given Series:

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

Required Pattern:

Odd → Odd → Even

We need to count those odd numbers which are immediately preceded by an odd number and immediately followed by an even number.

Checking the Series:

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

Odd numbers satisfying the condition:

→ 5 in (9 5 8)

→ 7 in (7 7 6)

→ 3 in (5 3 6)

→ 5 in (1 5 8)

Valid odd numbers: 5, 7, 3, 5

Total = 4

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Logic followed here is:

Each term in the series is determined by shifting the letters of the previous term backward by 10 positions in the English alphabetical order.

For

 

Therefore, the code for the next term in the series is EIA.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Logic followed here is: Each letter in the second term of the pair is obtained by subtracting 1 from the positional value of the corresponding letter in the first term (Position - 1).

For HJI − GIH →

 

For EGF − DFE →

 

Similarly, Option 1) GIH − FHG:

Therefore, the pair 'GIH−FHG' follows the same pattern.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given Information:

A sits immediately left of B.

C sits third to the left of B.

D is an immediate neighbour of B.

F sits immediately right of C.

D sits immediately left of E.

Conclusion:

The person sitting at the extreme right end is E.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given Information:

Only four boxes are kept between R and B.

Only Q is kept above R.

Only two boxes are kept between A and P.

D is kept immediately above C.

P is not kept immediately above D.

Final Arrangement:

 

Find the box fourth from the top

The 4^th box from the top is D.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

**Given

Statements:

**

Some Fictions are Nonfictions.

Some Nonfictions are Poetries.

All Poetries are Dramas.

**Checking

Conclusions:

**

(I) Some Nonfictions are Dramas: Follows (because,Some Nonfictions are Poetries, and all Poetries are Dramas.So, some Nonfictions are definitely) Dramas.

(II) Some Fictions are Dramas: Does not Follows (because, Some Fictions are Nonfictions.Some Nonfictions are Poetries → Dramas.But it is not definite that the same Nonfictions connected to Fictions are also connected to Dramas.)

Hence, only conclusion (I) follows.

Therefore, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given Codes:

‘send this reel’ → ‘bh ut df’

‘send me money’ → ‘hj mp bh’

 

Therefore, the code for ‘send’ is bh.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given Information:

Only three boxes are kept below L.

Only two boxes are kept between L and M.

Only Q is kept above S.

R is below O and above N.

Final Arrangement :

 

Find the box second from the bottom

The second position from the bottom is position 6.

The box at position 6 is R.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Logic followed here is:

The pattern is determined by the differences between the positional values of consecutive letters in the cluster. Three clusters follow a +8, +2, +4 addition pattern, while one does not.

For

1. SACG →

2) ZHIM:

3. TBDH →

 

4. PXZD →

 

 

Therefore, the cluster 'ZHIM' is the odd one out because it follows a +8, +1, +4 pattern instead of +8, +2, +4.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given Number:

59643127

Arrange the digits in ascending order:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9

Find the required digits:

Second from the left = 2

Third from the right = 6

Sum of the digits: 2 + 6 = 8

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Logic followed here is: The difference between the positional values of consecutive letters in each cluster is +1 and +5, except for one cluster.

For OPU:

For LMR:

For RSW:

 

For ABG:

 

 

 

The pattern observed in all other clusters is (+1, +5), but in RSW, the pattern is (+1, +4).

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

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Initial Position:

Fawad starts from Point A and moves 13 km North.

Step-by-step movement:

Calculate final position:

North-South movement:

13 km North + 1 km North = 14 km North

14 km South

So, vertical movement = 0

East-West movement:

11 km East − 12 km West = 1 km West

So, Point P is 1 km west of Point A.

To reach Point A again, he must travel 1 km towards the east.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Initial Direction:

The man is facing North.

Step 1: Turn 90° clockwise

North → East

Step 2: Turn 45° anticlockwise

East → North-East

Step 3: Turn 135° clockwise

North-East → East → South-East → South

Therefore, the man is now facing South.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given Numbers:

458, 569, 248, 671, 349

Add 2 to the first digit of each number:

Only one number satisfies the condition.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given Series:

6, 19, 33, 48, 64, ?

Find the pattern:

Therefore, the missing number is 81.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Logic followed here is: In each triad, the first letter of each pair increases by 4 to get the first letter of the next pair, and the second letter of each pair increases by 4 to get the second letter of the next pair.

For ND – RH – VL →

 

For LB – PF – TJ →

  

 

Similarly, Option 3) QG – UK – YO:

 

Therefore, the triad 'QG – UK – YO' follows the same pattern.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Logic followed here is:

Each subsequent number in the series is obtained by adding a difference that doubles at each step (2, 4, 8, 16, 32).

Therefore, the number that should come in place of the question mark is 10.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given Information:

D sits third to the right of F.

B sits second to the left of D.

E sits second to the right of A.

C sits to the immediate right of E.

All are facing the centre.

Now count from the left of C to D:

From C, move left:

C → B → F → E → A → D

There is only one person between C and D when counted from the left of C.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given Series:

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

Required Pattern:

Odd → Odd → Even

Checking the series:

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

Odd numbers satisfying the condition:

→ 9 in (9 9 2)

→ 7 in (7 7 4)

→ 5 in (9 5 4)

Therefore, there are 3 such odd numbers.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".
