Reasoning PYQs

Given

Statements:

Some Indians are Americans.

Some Americans are Chinese.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. No Chinese is an American.

The statement "Some Americans are Chinese" explicitly establishes an overlap between Americans and Chinese.

This conclusion, which denies any overlap, is a direct contradiction of Statement 2.

II. All Indians are Chinese.

The statements only establish partial links (Some I are A; Some A are C).

This does not guarantee any relationship between Indians and Chinese, much less a universal one ("All").

The relationship is uncertain.

So, Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows. 

Hence, the correct answer 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 2".

BODMAS Table: 

Given equation: 63 A 7 C 18 D 8 B 2 = ?

Now, if ‘+’ and ‘-‘ and ‘×' and '÷’ are interchanged, then: 63 ÷ 7 + 18 - 8 × 2 = ?

⇒ 63 ÷ 7 + 18 - 8 × 2 = ?

⇒ 9 + 18 - 16 = 27 - 16 = 11.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given:

Rouf starts from Point A and drives 4 km towards South. 

He then takes a left turn, drives 9 km, turns left and drives 8 km.

He then takes a left turn and drives 16 km. 

He takes a final left turn, drives 4 km and stops at Point P.

So, He should drive  towards 7 km to the East in order to reach Point A again.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: (1^st number × 3) - 1 =  2^nd number.

16, 47

⇒ (16 × 3) - 1 = 47

24, 71

⇒ (24 × 3) -1  = 71​

Now, checking the options:

Option 1) 15, 62

⇒ (15 × 3) - 1 ≠ 62

Option 2) 35, 104

⇒ (35 × 3) - 1 = 104

Option 3)  27, 101

⇒ (27 × 3) -1 ≠ 101

Option 4)  12, 45

⇒ (12 × 3) -1  ≠ 45

Hence, the correct option is "Option 2"

Solution:

Original Number: 9238471

The constituent digits are: 9, 2, 3, 8, 4, 7, 1

Arrange the Digits in Ascending Order (Left to Right)

The new number formed is 1234789.

Digit second from the left: 2

Digit second from the right: 8

Sum = 2 + 8 = 10

The sum of the digits is 10.

The logic followed here is:

thus, "56" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

‘YORK’ is coded as ‘0834’ 

‘KRAY’ is coded as ‘3458’

So, '5' is the code for ‘A’ in the given code language.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

For, 'FRUZ is related to IVXD'

For, 'RHGP is related to ULJT'

Similarly, for 'ATPB​'

So, 'ATPB​' will be related to 'DXSF'

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Decoding the Symbols:

 

Given: Q + E − R × C ÷ D

It means: Q is the Daughter of E, E is the Father of R, R is the Son of C, C is the Sister of R.

 

So, Q is the 'Sister's daughter' of D.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given:

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

We need to find the even digits which are:

Immediately preceded by an even digit and immediately followed by an even digit.

Required pattern:

Even digit → Even digit → Even digit

Checking the series:

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

The even digits satisfying the condition are:

• 6 in (4 6 2)

• 4 in (8 4 2)

Therefore, there are 2 such even digits.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given:

FTBJ → OCKS

PDLT → YMUC

Observe the pattern:

For, FTBJ → OCKS

For, PDLT → YMUC

So, each letter is moved 9 positions forward in cyclic alphabetical order.

Now apply the same logic to QEMU:

Therefore, QEMU → ZNVD

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given:

‘A + B’ means ‘A is the mother of B’

‘A − B’ means ‘A is the sister of B’

‘A × B’ means ‘A is the son of B’

‘A ÷ B’ means ‘A is the brother of B’

Expression:

D + E − F ÷ G × K

Decode the expression from left to right:

D + E → D is the mother of E.

E − F → E is the sister of F.

F ÷ G → F is the brother of G.

G × K → G is the son of K.

Form the relationship chain:

Therefore, D is the wife of K.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given series:

5, 9, 16, 26, 39, ?

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The given equation is:

70 B 4 D (50 A 5) B 11 C (24 A 2) B 4 C 10 = ? →

 

After replacing the letters with their respective arithmetic symbols:

70 × 4 − (50 ÷ 5) × 11 + (24 ÷ 2) × 4 + 10

Step-by-step solution using BODMAS:

⇒ 70 × 4 − (50 ÷ 5) × 11 + (24 ÷ 2) × 4 + 10

⇒ 280 - 10 × 11 + 12 × 4 + 10

⇒ 280 - 110 + 48 + 10

⇒ 338 - 110

⇒ 228

Therefore, the value that will come in place of the question mark is 228.

Hence, the correct answeris "Option 2".

Logic followed here is: Identify the highest and lowest numbers from the given sequence, then add the second digit of the highest number to the second digit of the lowest number.

For Highest Number

791 is the highest number among (783, 791, 531, 563, 594) →

Second digit of the highest number = 9

For Lowest Number

531 is the lowest number among (783, 791, 531, 563, 594) →

Second digit of the lowest number = 3

The pattern observed is: (Second digit of highest number) + (Second digit of lowest number).

Resultant:

Resultant = 9 + 3 = 12

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given Series:

DRT UIK LZB CQS ?

The pattern followed here is:

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Logic followed here is:

In each triad, the first letters of the pairs decrease by 2, while the second letters follow a pattern of decreasing by 2 and then increasing by 9.

For

Triad 1: ME-KC-IL follows the pattern →

Triad 2: PH-NF-LO follows the pattern →

 

The pattern observed is: (1^st letters: -2, -2 sequence) and (2^nd letters: -2, +9 sequence).

Similarly, let's find the pattern for WO-UM-SV:

 

Therefore, the triad that follows the same pattern is 'WO-UM-SV'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given:

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

A sits third to the left of E.

E sits second to the left of F.

D sits to the immediate right of E.

B sits to the immediate left of C.

People between C and F are:

E and D

Therefore, 2 people sit between C and F.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given letter-clusters:

XZW

MNL

RSQ

IJH

Observe the pattern:

In three clusters, the letters follow the pattern:

1^st letter → +1 → 2^nd letter → −1 → 3^rd letter

Check each option:

Option 2: MNL

Option 3: RSQ

Option 4: IJH

Option 1: XZW

This does not follow the same pattern.

Therefore, the odd one out is: XZW

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
