Reasoning PYQs

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

Option 1: OY - TD

Option 2: FS - KY

Option 3: BK - GP

Option 4: MP - RU

Thus, FS - KY does not follow this uniform shift.

Hence, the odd one out is Option 2.

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

Now,

Numbers which are immediately preceded by an even number and also immediately followed by an even number.

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

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

Only two such patterns exist.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

BODMAS Table: 

Decoding the given information:

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

⇒ 66 ÷ 6 × 3 + 128 × 2 − 15 ÷ 3 + 16 × 2 − 17 = ?

⇒ 33 + 256 − 5 + 32 − 17 = ?

⇒ 289 − 5 + 32 − 17 = ?

⇒ 284 + 32 − 17 = ?

⇒ 316 − 17 = ?

⇒ 299

Hence, the correct option is "Option 3".

Given:

Varun’s rank from the top = 24^th, rank from the bottom = 47^th.

Total number of students = 24 + 47 – 1 = 70.

So, there are 70 students in the class.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

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

F sits third to the right of G.

A sits third to the right of F.

D sits third to the right of A.

C is the immediate neighbour of both B and A.

Total people between E and D = 5

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

Given:

Mohak drives 12 km South

He turns left → 11 km East

He turns left → 15 km North

He turns left → 14 km West

He turns left → 3 km South

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

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

Given: A, B, C, D, E, F and G are sitting in a straight line facing North.

Only five people sit between D and C.

E sits to the immediate left of C.

Only one person sits between E and A.

G sits at some place to the left of F but at some place to the right of B.

Now, people to the right of A: F, E, C → 3 people

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given

Statements:

All shells are mats.

All mats are lotions.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is:

Conclusions:

I. Some lotions are shells → Follows (Since all shells are lotions, there must be some overlap between lotions and shells.)

II. No lotion is a shell → Does not follow  (This contradicts the fact that all shells are included within lotions.)

So, only conclusion I follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

For, JLIU → EKGV

For, MWQE → HVOF

Now, applying the same pattern to CBTJ:

So, CBTJ → XARK

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

The logic followed here is:

For, YOBD → IYLN

For, MCPR → WMZB

Now, applying the same pattern to QGTV:

So, QGTV → AQDF

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

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

Option 1: DGK

Option 2: FIN

Option 3: PSW

Option 4: JMQ

Thus, FIN does not follow the uniform pattern of +3, +4.

Hence, the odd one out is Option 2.

Given:

Alok is 12^th from the right end, Pyush is 18^th from the right end,

and Pyush is exactly midway between Alok and Priyanka.

Priyanka is 5^th from the left end.

Distance between Alok and Pyush = 18 − 12 = 6

So, Priyanka’s position from the right end = 18 + 6 = 24

Total number of people = 5 + 24 − 1 = 28

So, there are 28 people in the row.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

thus, "88" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

Given:

Rajesh drives 13 km North

He turns right → 6 km East

He turns right → 5 km South

He turns left → 3 km East

He turns right → 10 km South

He turns right → 9 km West

So, To reach Point M, he must go 2 km North.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

The logic followed here is:

Given:

STAR → S(19) + T(20) + A(1) + R(18) = 58

HERO → H(8) + E(5) + R(18) + O(15) = 46

Now,

ACTOR → A(1) + C(3) + T(20) + O(15) + R(18) = 57

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given number: 8239847

Logic:

Add 1 to each even digit

Subtract 2 from each odd digit

Original number: 8 2 3 9 8 4 7

New number: 9 3 1 7 9 5 5 → 9317955

Digits appearing more than once: 9 and 5

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The logic followed here is:

For, BONZ → SFEQ

For, REDP → IVUG

Now, applying the same pattern to QDCO:

So, QDCO → HUTF

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

The logic followed here is:

So, 'NKN 91' will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given: # 5 1 & & 5 + 8 3 & * < \ 9 $ > > * 5 / 7

Now,

We need to find symbols that are immediately preceded by another symbol and immediately followed by a number.

So, Needed pattern is: Symbol - Symbol - Number.

(Left) # 5 1 & & 5 + 8 3 & * < \ 9 $ > > * 5 / 7 (Right)

Total valid occurrences = 3.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1.

Given

Statements:

All notepads are diaries.

All diaries are organisers.

Some organisers are planners.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is:

Conclusions:

I. All notepads are organisers → Follows (Since Notepads ⊆ Diaries and Diaries ⊆ Organisers, therefore Notepads ⊆ Organisers)

II. Some planners are notepads → Does not follow  (There is no definite overlap between planners and notepads; planners only partially overlap with organisers)

So, only conclusion I follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
