Reasoning PYQs

Correct Option - 2

The logic followed here is:

Logic:

The original number has 8 digits. We compare the digits in each position (from left to right).

So, Only the digit 9 in the last position remains unchanged.

The total number of digits whose position remains unchanged is 1.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2"

The logic followed here is:

Logic: 

Similarly,

So, the code for 'GC 13' in the given code language is 'JF 18'

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

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

1) Only one person sits between C and D when counted from the right of C.

2) Only one person sits between D and A. 

3)Only one person sits between C and B. 

4)Only two people sit between F and A. 

5)Only one person sits between E and B. 

So, Only '2' people sit between G and E.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Amit's rank from the top : 34^th

Amit's rank from the bottom : 45^th

So, Total Students= 34 + 45 - 1 = 79 - 1  = 78

So, there are '78' students in Amit's class.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given: 

Town B is to the south of Town A. 

Town C is to the west of Town A.

Town D is to the west of Town C.

Town E is to the north of Town D and also to the south of Town F. 

So, Town F is northwards  to Town D.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

thus, "148" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: 

Here, 'PA - TH' is odd among the given options.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

thus, "57" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 3".

Given: 47 students facing North

Sonika is 18^th from the left end.

Dhruv is 11^th to the right of Sonika

So, Position(Right) = Total students - Position(Left) + 1

Position(Right) = 47 - 29 + 1 = 19^th

So, Dhruv's position from the right-end of the line is 19^th.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: U is common in both the words and 8 is common in both the number codes.

So, the code for ‘U’ in the given code language is 8.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Logic followed here is:

In each pair, the relationship between the first and second letter-clusters is based on the positional values of the letters. Specifically, the first letter of the first cluster is increased by 7 to get the first letter of the second cluster, and the second letter of the first cluster is increased by 6 to get the second letter of the second cluster.

(1) XV – AC →

 

For (2) OM – VS →

 

For (3) DB – KH →

 

For (4) FD – MJ →

 

 

Therefore, the letter-cluster pair that does not belong to the group is XV – AC.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given:

L is kept immediately above O.

Only M is kept below R. → M is at the bottom and R is just above M.

N is kept immediately above Q.

Only two boxes are kept above L. → L is at 3^rd position from the top.

N is at position 1.

S is at position 5.

Boxes between them:

Q, L, O

Total = 3 boxes

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4 — Three.

Given:

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

Only two people sit to the left of F.

Only one person sits between D and E.

F sits to the immediate left of D.

A sits to the immediate right of C.

B sits third to the right of A.

The person sitting at the extreme left end is C.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

Given:

B is kept second from the bottom.

Only three boxes are kept between B and A.

O is kept at one of the positions below B.

Only C is kept between A and D.

M is kept at one of the positions above A.

Final Arrangement:

Find boxes between N and A

A is at position 2.

N is at position 5.

Boxes between them:

C and D

Total = 2 boxes

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1 — Two.

Given:

Vehicle A is to the west of vehicle B.

Vehicle C is to the east of vehicle B.

Vehicle D is to the north of vehicle B.

Vehicle E is to the south of vehicle C.

Vehicle F is to the north of vehicle C.

 

Find position of E with respect to A

From A to E:

• Move towards East
• Then move towards South

So, E is in the South-east direction with respect to A.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3 — South-east.

Given:

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

B sits third to the right of A.

E sits to the immediate left of D.

D is not an immediate neighbour of A.

F sits to the immediate right of C.

Original Arrangement (Clockwise from A)

A → F → C → B → D → E

 

Alphabetical Arrangement (Clockwise from A)

A → B → C → D → E → F

Compare Positions

 

Only A and C remain in the same positions.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1 — Two.

**Given

Statements:

**

Some pens are combs.

All shirts are tails.

All combs are shirts.

Logical Flow:

**Checking

Conclusions:

**

(I) Some tails are combs: Follows (because all combs are shirts and all shirts are tails. So combs are definitely tails. Hence, some tails are combs.)

(II) Some shirts are pens: Follows (because some pens are combs and all combs are shirts. Therefore, those pens are also shirts. Hence, some shirts are pens.)

Therefore, both conclusions (I) and (II) follow.

Hence, the correct answer is Both conclusions (I) and (II) follow.

Given:

Mudit starts from Point Y and:

Drives 92 km towards South

Takes a left turn and drives 59 km

Takes a left turn and drives 38 km

Takes a right turn and drives 28 km

Takes a left turn and drives 54 km to reach Point Z

 

Net Movement Calculation

North-South:

• South = 92 km
• North = 38 + 54 = 92 km

Vertical movement cancels out.

East-West:

• East = 59 + 28 = 87 km

So Point Z is 87 km East of Point Y.

To reach Point Y again

Mudit must move 87 km towards West.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4 — 87 km towards West.

Given Numbers:

324, 526, 249, 267, 185

Step 1: Find the highest and lowest numbers

Highest number = 526

Lowest number = 185

Step 2: Find required digits

For 526:

Third digit of highest number = 6

For 185:

Second digit of lowest number = 8

Step 3: Add the digits

6 + 8 = 14

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

**Given

Statements:

**

Some Mercuries are Venuses.

All Venuses are Earths.

No Earth is Mars.

Logical Flow:

**Checking

Conclusions:

**

**(I) Some Mercuries are Earths: Follows (**because some Mercuries are Venuses and all Venuses are Earths. Therefore, those Mercuries are also Earths.)

(II) No Venus is Mars: Follows (because all Venuses are Earths and no Earth is Mars. Therefore, no Venus can be Mars.)

Therefore, both conclusions (I) and (II) follow.

Hence, the correct answer is Both conclusions (I) and (II) follow.
