Reasoning PYQs

Given Information:

Only two people sit between S and C from the right of S.

Only two people sit between C and U from the left of U.

Only three people sit between S and B from the left of B.

R sits immediately left of T.

Find third to the left of A

Starting from A and moving left:

A → B → C → T

Therefore, the person third to the left of A is T.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given Information:

Only three people sit between B and K.

C sits immediately left of K.

No one sits to the right of L.

Only one person sits between L and K.

J sits immediately right of D.

Find people between I and J

J is at position 3.

I is at position 6.

People between them are: C and K

Total = 2 people

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Logic followed here is:

Each letter in the series follows a specific subtraction pattern based on its positional value in the English alphabetical order.

Each letter is moving backwards by 2 positions.

 

Therefore, the term that comes in place of the question mark is YHE.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given Conditions:

Only four boxes are kept between A and E.

Only C is kept above A.

Only two boxes are kept between G and F.

B is kept immediately above D.

F is not kept immediately above B.

Final Arrangement:

Find boxes below B

Boxes below B are:

D, F and E

Total = 3 boxes

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given Series:

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

Required pattern: Even → Odd → Even

Checking the series: (Left) 6 4 3 2 7 6 4 9 9 6 5 4 9 7 6 8 3 5 1 5 1 2 4 8 9 (Right)

Odd numbers satisfying the condition are:

→ 3 in (4 3 2)

→ 7 in (2 7 6)

→ 5 in (6 5 4)

Therefore, there are 3 such odd numbers.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given Series:

2 6 & 2 9 5 5 € 1 $ 1 6 @ & € # 3 @ £ % 4 9

Required pattern: Number → Symbol → Symbol

Checking the series:

2 6 & 2 9 5 5 € 1 $ 1 6 @ & € # 3 @ £ % 4 9

Symbols satisfying the condition are:

→ @ in (6 @ &)

→ @ in (3 @ £)

Therefore, there are 2 such symbols.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given Series: 5, 15, 27, 41, 57, ?

The pattern followed here is:

 

The pattern observed in the differences is: 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 (increasing by 2 each time).

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given Movement:

61 km towards West

Left turn → 67 km

Left turn → 67 km

Left turn → 80 km

Final left turn → 6 km

Step-by-step Direction Movement:

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

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given Codes:

‘ROME’ → ‘2347’

‘BERM’ → ‘7254’

Finding the common letters:

Therefore, the code for B is 5.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given Expression:

116 ÷ 9 + 427 × 7 − 13

Given Condition:

‘+’ and ‘−’ are interchanged

‘×’ and ‘÷’ are interchanged

After replacing the symbols:

= 116 × 9 − 427 ÷ 7 + 13

= 116 × 9 − 61 + 13

= 1044 − 61 + 13

= 1057 - 61

= 996

Therefore, the value of the question mark is 996.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Logic followed here is:

The second group of letters is obtained by adding 4 to the positional value of each letter in the first group of letters.

BCG is related to FGK →

 

WXB is related to ABF →

 

 

Similarly, let's find the pair that follows the same pattern for FGK – JKO:

 

Therefore, the pair 'FGK–JKO' follows the same pattern.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given Series: CMN101, KUV82, SCD63, AKL44, ?

 

The pattern observed for letters is: (Letter position + 8) and for numbers: (Number - 19).

Therefore, the next cluster in the series is IST25.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given:

A = ÷

B = ×

C = +

D = −

Given Equation:

9 B 14 C 196 A 7 D 24

Replacing the letters with symbols:

= 9 × 14 + 196 ÷ 7 − 24

= 9 × 14 + 28 − 24

= 126 + 28 − 24

= 154 − 24

= 130

Therefore, the value of the question mark is 130.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given:

• means −

− means ×

× means ÷

÷ means +

Given Equation:

18 − 8 ÷ 4 + 64 × 16

Replacing the symbols:

= 18 × 8 + 4 − 64 ÷ 16

= 18 × 8 + 4 − 4

= 144 + 4 − 4

= 148 - 4

= 144

Therefore, the value of the question mark is 144.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given Information:

A sits at the extreme right end.

D sits immediately left of A.

B sits between C and E.

 

Find people between A and B

B is at position 2.

A is at position 5.

People between them are: E and D

Therefore, 2 people sit between A and B.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Logic followed here is: (1^st number ÷ 2) = 2^nd number; (2^nd number + 9) = 3^rd number.

For the set (46, 23, 32) →

Operation 1: 46 ÷ 2 = 23

Operation 2: 23 + 9 = 32

For the set (72, 36, 45) →

Operation 1: 72 ÷ 2 = 36

Operation 2: 36 + 9 = 45

Similarly, Option 4):

For (98, 49, 58) →

Operation 1: 98 ÷ 2 = 49

Operation 2: 49 + 9 = 58

Therefore, the set that follows the same logic is (98, 49, 58).

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given Information:

Only I is kept above L.

Only three boxes are kept between I and B.

Only K is kept below C.

D is kept immediately above B.

Final Arrangement:

 

Find boxes between J and K

J is at position 3.

K is at position 7.

Boxes between them are: D, B, C

Total = 3 boxes

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Logic followed here is: Each letter in the first group is shifted backward by one position (-1) in the alphabetical series to obtain the corresponding letter in the second group.

For YAB − XZA →

For TVW − SUV →

Similarly, Option 1) IKL − HJK:

Therefore, the pair 'IKL−HJK' follows the same pattern.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Logic followed here is:

Each letter of the first group of letters is shifted by +4 and +5 alternately to obtain the corresponding letters of the second group.

For

CFRT is related to GKVY →

SZHN is related to WELS →

The pattern observed is: +4, +5, +4, +5 shift in alphabetical order.

Similarly, let's find the related term for EOTC:

Therefore, the code for 'EOTC' is ITXH.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given Codes:

‘zebra rain union’ → ‘ds cm oh’

‘video union oven’ → ‘ng oa cm’

Therefore, the code for ‘union’ is cm.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
