Reasoning PYQs

The logic followed here is:

Option 1) LJ−HF

Option 2) EC−ZA

Option 3) RP−NL

Option 4) OM−KI

The letter-cluster that DOES NOT belong to the group is: EC−ZA.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option (2)"

The logic followed here is the comparison method of coding-decoding. By identifying common words in the given phrases, we can determine their corresponding codes.

Thus, the code for coal is aw.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

For, KH 13 is related to ID 2

For,LO 9 is related to JK −2

Similarly, for  LJ 7 

So, LJ 7 will be related to JF -4.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

The logic follows here, 

  

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 4”.

Family Chart:

According to the information given in the question :

 

Given: S + D ÷ F × H − K

Family Tree Doagram will be :

Therefore, S is the brother of F, who is the wife of H, and H is the brother of K. This means S is the Brother's wife's brother of K.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

**Given:**R, E, A, D, I, N and G are sitting around a circular table, facing the centre of the table.

1) G sits third to the left of A

2. D sits to the immediate right of A

3. D sits second to the left of N

4) Only two people sit between N and R when counted from the left of R.

5) I is not an immediate neighbor of G.

The final Arrangement is, 

According to final arrangement D sits third to the right of E

 

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

The logic follows here,

So, 'YOW 22' will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2"

The logic followed here is:

Given :  L A N G U I D

Arranged in the English alphabetical order: A D G I L N U

Left  A D G I L N U  Right

Letters between D and I are E, F, G, and H.

Thus, there are 4 letters.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic follows here.

For 'GECD' related to 'CAYZ':

For 'AYWX' related to 'WUST':

Similarly,  'USQR':

Thus, USQR is related to QOMN.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

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

According to the question:

Required condition: Perfect square -  Even Digit -  Odd digit

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

Thus, there are more than 3 numbers that are immediately preceded by a perfect square and immediately followed by an odd digit: 9 2 3, 1 4 5 , 1 2 9**,** 9 8 3.

Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.

The logic follows here, 

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 3”.

The logic followed here is:

• 13 + 6 = 19
• 19 + (6 × 2) = 19 + 12 = 31
• 31 + (12 × 2) = 31 + 24 = 55
• 55 + (24 × 2) = 55 + 48 = 103
• 103 + (48 × 2) = 103 + 96 = 199

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is:

Conclusions:

(I) Some cakes are pizzas—False. (There is no direct relation between cakes and pizza, as all cakes are biscuits and all pizzas are biscuits. So, maybe it is possible but not definite)

(II) Some biscuits are pizzas — True ( Asall pizzas are biscuits that means some biscuits are also a part of pizza and some pizza is a part of biscuit).

Only conclusion (II) follows.

The correct answer is option 4.

Given:

1. A is kept second from the bottom.

2. Only three boxes are kept between A and G.

3. E is kept at one of the positions below A.

 

4) Only D is kept between G and F. (This means F must be at position 4 and D must be at position 5).

5) C is kept at one of the positions above G. (Since G is at position 6, C must be at position 7).

6) B is the only box left, so it will be kept at position 3.

The final arrangement is 

Thus, only 1 box is kept between B and E.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

The logic followed is:

Decoding the information, 

 

Given : 92 - 8 ÷ 311 + 715 × 11 = ?

After replacing the signs from left to right and using the BODMAS rule,

92 × 8 + 311 - 715 ÷ 11 = ?

= 92 × 8 + 311 - 65

= 736 + 311 - 65

= 1047 - 65

= 982

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given: Seven people, Mayank, Nidhi, Palak, Rakesh, Surya, Tina, and Vivek, are sitting in a row, facing north.

1) Only two people sit to the right of Rakesh.

2. Nidhi sits to the immediate left of Vivek and Vivek sits third to the left of Rakesh.

3) Palak sits third to the right of Tina, but Palak does not sit at any extreme ends.

4. Rakesh is not an immediate neighbour of Mayank.

The final arrangement is,

Thus, no one sitting between Tina  and Vivek

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1.'

The logic followed here is:

Position of John from the bottom = 16^th

Position of John from the top = 29^th

Total number of students in the class = (Position from the top + Position from the bottom) − 1

= 29 + 16 − 1

= 45 − 1

= 44

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

The logic followed here is:​

• 14 − 5 = 9 = 3²
• 41 − 14 = 27 = 3³
• 122 − 41 = 81 = 3⁴
• 365 − 122 = 243 = 3⁵
• 1094 − 365 = 729 = 3⁶

 

Hence, the correct answer is 'option 1'

The logic followed here is:

Logic: In each pair, the difference between the alphabetical positions of the letters in the first cluster is 3, while the difference in the second cluster is 2.

Option 1)  NK-RO,

This pair does not follow the rule.

Option 2)  PM-TR,

Option 3)  LI-PN,

Option 4)  RO-VT,

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

According to the given Venn diagram:

 

The shaded area represents

• Number of person who are Employees and German Speakers (but not male) = 28
• Number of persons who are Employees, German Speakers, and also Male = 17

Total employees who speak German = 28 + 17 = 45

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
