Reasoning PYQs

Given: 

Town H is to the east of town R and to the north of town D.

Town E is southeast of town H.

So, D lies in the quadrant that is Southeast of R.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given: (Left) > 5 * \ + 9 & 6 # 6 4 $ & / @ # $ & 8 3 < (Right)

Now, 

Symbols are there that are immediately preceded by a number and also immediately followed by another symbol

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

There are 2 Symbols which are preceded by a number and also immediately followed by a number.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

Given: A, B, C, D, Q, R and S are sitting around a circular table, facing the centre of the table

1. Q sits to the immediate right of D.

2. Only three people sit between Q and S, when counted from the left of Q.

3. Only three people sit between D and C.

4. A sits to the immediate right of R.

So, B will sit on the remaining place.

Here, Only one person sit between D and R, when counted from the right of R.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Now,

JUNK - UJNK - KUJN

LACK - ALCK - KALC

Let's check each Option One by One.

Option 1) BUNS - UBNS - SUNB

 

Option 2) MOST - OMST - OSTM

 

Option 3) FROM - RFOM - MRFO

 

Option 4) MOCK - MCOK - KCOM

So, Only FROM - RFOM - MRFO follows the pattern of given letter cluster.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

BODMAS Table: 

Given equation:  51 + 8 − 8 ÷ 80 × 4 = ?

Now, if ‘+’ and ‘-‘ and ‘×' and '÷’ are interchanged, then: 51 − 8 × 8 + 80 ÷ 4 = ?

⇒ 51 − 8 × 8 + (80 ÷ 4)

⇒ 51 − (8 × 8) + 20

⇒ 51 − 64 + 20

⇒ −13 + 20 = 7

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

Option 1) OJR

Option 2) JEM

Option 3) GBI

Option 4) LGO

Here, 'GBI' is odd among the given options.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

he logic followed here is:

thus, "120" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

"EARS’ is coded as ‘4259’

‘SARI’ is coded as ‘9725’

So, '7' is the code for ‘I’ in the given code language

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given: Seven boxes A, B, C, D, E, F and G are kept one over the other but not necessarily in the same order.  

1. Only three boxes are kept below F.

2) Only two boxes are kept between F and A. 

3. Only D is kept immediately above B. 

4) C is kept at some place below G and at some place above E.

 

So, there is 'One' box kept between B and F

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

Option 1) LNH

Option 2) GIC

Option 3) EGB

Option 4) IKE

Here, 'EGB' is odd among the given options.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

BODMAS Table: 

Given equation: 18 − 2 + 48 × 4 ÷ 21 = ?

Now, if sign are interchanged, then:

⇒ 18 × 2 − 48 ÷ 4 + 21 = ?

⇒ (18 × 2) − (48 ÷ 4) + 21

⇒ 36 − 12 + 21

⇒ 24 + 21

⇒ 45

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given

Statements:

All cars are buses.

Some cars are trucks.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. Some trucks are cars.

If there is an intersection between set A (Cars) and set C (Trucks), then it is always true that Some C are A.

Therefore, conclusion (I) logically follows.

II. Some buses are cars.

The statement All A are B always implies that Some B are A. (Since all cars are buses, the set of buses must contain the set of cars, meaning some members of the 'Buses' set are also 'Cars').

Therefore, conclusion (II) logically follows.

So, Both conclusions (I) and (II) follow.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

COME - OCME - EOCM

  C O M E     O C M E     E O C M

And,

NEAT - ENAT - TENA

  N E A T     E N A T     T E N A

Similarly,

SANK - ASNK - KASN

  S A N K     A S N K     K A S N

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1"

The logic followed here is:

Logic: 1^st number ×  2^nd number = 3^rd number.

Now,

First row - (38, 12, 456)

→ 38 × 12 = 456.

Second row - (44, 11, 484) 

→ 44 × 11 =  484

Now, checking the options:

Option 1) (67, 5, 365)

⇒ (67 × 5)  ≠ 365

Option 2) (38, 8, 304)

⇒ (38 × 8)  =  304

Option 3)  (61, 4, 254)

⇒ (61 × 4)  ≠ 254

Option 4)  (43, 6, 278)

⇒ (43× 6)  ≠ 278

Hence, the correct option is "Option 2"

Given: 

Harry starts from Point A and drives 1 km towards the south.

He then takes a right turn and drives 7 km, then turns right and drives 8 km.

He then takes a right turn and drives 15 km.

He takes a final right turn, drives 7 km and stops at Point P. 

 

So, He should drive 8 km to the west in order to reach Point A again.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given: Seven boxes U, V, W, X, E, F and G are kept one over the other but not necessarily in the same order.

1. Only two boxes are kept between V and X.

2) Only W is kept above F.

3. No box is kept below X.

4) E is kept at some place below G but at some place above U.

 

So, 'G' is kept third above U

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given

Statements:

All trams are cows.

No cow is a bun.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. No tram is a bun.

Since all Trams are inside the set of Cows (Statement 1), and the entire set of Cows is separate from the Buns (Statement 2), it is impossible for any Tram to be a Bun.

Conclusion (I) logically follows (is true).

II. Some buns are cows.

Statement 2 explicitly states: "No cow is a bun," meaning there is zero overlap between Cows and Buns.

Conclusion (II) directly contradicts this, as it suggests some overlap exists.

Conclusion (II) does not follow (is false).

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

For, SWER is related to GKSF

For, WAIV is related to KOWJ

Similarly, for 'MQYL'

So, ''MQYL' will be related to 'AEMZ'

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Original Number: 19758436

The constituent digits are: 1, 9, 7, 5, 8, 4, 3, 6.

Arrange the Digits in Descending Order (Left to Right)

The new number formed is 98765431

The position(s) of 3 digits (7, 4, 3) will remain unchanged as compared to that in the original number

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3"

Original Number: 8934612

The constituent digits are: 8, 9, 3, 4, 6, 1, 2.

Arrange the Digits in Descending Order (Left to Right)

The new number formed is 1234689

Sum of the digits that are second from the left and second from the right in the new number thus formed:

Sum =  2 + 8 = 10

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3"
