Reasoning PYQs

The logic followed here is:

thus, "130" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

thus, "73" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 2".

Given: Seven people, D, E, F, G, H, I and X, are sitting in a row facing North.

1. Only two people sit to the left of G.

2. Only three people sit between G and H.

3) Only one person sits between H and F.

4. E sits to the immediate left of I.

5. D is not an immediate neighbour of H.

And, N will sit at the remaining place.

So, There is only 1 person who sit to the right of X.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

So, 'ZZA -3' will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given: (Left) 7 $ % 4 & 1 9 @ 5 & 3 Ω 8 * 2 £ # 6 (Right)

Now, 

Symbols are dropped from the series :

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

The number which is  sixth from the right: 9

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.$

The logic followed here is:

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

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given: Seven boxes V, W, X, Y, Z, Q and R are kept one over the other but not necessarily in the same order. 

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

2. Only Y is kept above W. 

3. No box is kept below V.

4) X is kept at some place below Z but at some place above R.

 

So, 'Z' is kept third above R

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

Option 1) EAW

Option 2) OKG

Option 3) DZB

Option 4) MIE

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

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Family Chart:

Given: 

A is the son of S.

D is the daughter of F.

F is the father of G.

G is the sister of A.

A is married to Q.

W is the son of A.

So, S is 'Mother' of D.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

‘FOUR’ is coded as ‘5427’

‘RISE’ is coded as ‘6143’

R is common in both words and 4 is common in both number codes.

So, '4' is the code for ‘R’ in the given code language.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given: (Left) 5 € $ 4 9 & & 4 € @ © 7 @ 7 9 1 8 # 8 % 5 £ (Right)

Logic followed here is: We need to find symbols in the given series that are immediately preceded by a number and immediately followed by a number.

Pattern: Number → Symbol → Number

(Left) 5 € $ 4 9 & & 4 € @ © 7 @ 7 9 1 8 # 8 % 5 £ (Right)

The patterns observed are: (7@7), (8#8), and (8%5).

Therefore, there are 3 such symbols in the series.

Hence the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given Statements:

Some vehicles are trucks.

Some vehicles are lorries.

Some trucks are buses.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

(I) Some vehicles are buses: Does not follow (Because, Some vehicles are trucks,Some trucks are buses.But the “some trucks” which are buses may or may not be the same trucks which are vehicles.)

(II) Some trucks are lorries: Does not follow (Because, Some vehicles are trucks and Some vehicles are lorries. But trucks and lorries may be different groups of vehicles.So, no definite relation exists between trucks and lorries.)

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

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Logic followed here is.

Logic: The digits of the given number are rearranged in ascending order (from smallest to largest) from left to right, and then the sum of the digits at the specified positions is calculated.

Given Number: 756931482

Arranging the digits in ascending order →

 

The new number formed is: 123456789

Identifying the required digits:

→ The digit which is third from the left is: 3

→ The digit which is second from the right (8^th from the left) is: 8

Sum of these digits:

Sum = 3 + 8 = 11

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Statements:

1. All Pianos are Guitars.

2. Some Guitars are Violins.

3. No Violins are Drums.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

(I) Some Drums are Guitars: Does not follow (Because, No relation is given between Drums and Guitars. So, we cannot say that some Drums are Guitars.)

(II) Some Violins are Pianos: Does not follow (Because, All Pianos are Guitars and Some Guitars are Violins. But it is not necessary that the Guitars which are Violins are also Pianos.So, no definite relation exists between Violins and Pianos.)

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

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Logic followed here is.

Logic: In each pair, the letters within a cluster have a difference of +2, and the corresponding letters between the two clusters have a difference of +5.

 

Option 2:

Option 3:

Option 4:

So, in Options 2, 3 and 4, both letters are shifted by +5.

Option 1:

The shift is not +5 for both letters.

Therefore, XZ – BG does not follow the pattern.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

Given:

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

Logic followed here is: We need to find even numbers that are immediately preceded by an even number and immediately followed by an odd number.

Pattern: Even Number → Even Number → Odd Number

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

The required even numbers are:

• 2 in (4 2 7)

• 2 in (4 2 5)

• 4 in (6 4 5)

Therefore, there are 3 such even numbers.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given series:

4, 9, 14, 19, 24, ?

Next term:

24 + 5 = 29

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

Logic followed here is based on the directional relationship between the houses.

Step 1: Positioning P and R relative to Q

• House P is 5 km West of House Q.
• House R is 3 km North of House Q.

 

Step 2: Positioning S relative to R

The house of S is 10 km south of the house of R.

Since R is 3 km North of Q, moving south from R involves passing through the position of Q:

• Distance from R to Q = 3 km (South direction)
• Remaining distance from Q to S = Total distance - Distance to Q
• Remaining distance = 10 km - 3 km = 7 km

 

Conclusion:

As House S is 7 km directly below House Q on the North-South axis, it is located in the South direction.

Therefore, the house of S is South from the house of Q.

Symbols and their meanings:

 

Given Expression: ‘K & T x R - Z + V’: K is the father of T, T is the wife of R, R is the brother of Z, Z is the son of V

The possible Venn diagram is:

 

Therefore, K is the Son's wife's father of V.

Hence, the corect answer is "Option 4".

The pattern followed here is:

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".
