Reasoning PYQs

Given: 

• Dinesh starts from Point A and drives 20 km towards West.
• He then takes a left turn, drives 18 km, turns left and drives 21 km.
• He then takes a left turn and drives 28 km.
• He takes a final left turn, drives 1 km and stops at Point P

The Final Diagram is, 

10 km to the South to reach point A.

Hence,the correct answer is "option 3"

BODMAS :

 

**Given Expression:**40 R 16 P 4 S 3 Q 5 = ?

After replacing the letters and applying the BODMAS rule:

= 40 + 4 − 3 × 5

= 40 + 4 − 15

= 44 − 15

=29 

Hence, the correct answer is "option 3"

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Second Number = First Number × Third Number

For the first set (12, 36, 3)

⇒ 12 × 3 = 36

For the second set (15, 75, 5)

⇒ 15 × 5 = 75

Applying the same logic to Option 4

(14, 56, 4)

⇒ 14 × 4 = 56

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

Given: Seven people, F, G, H, L, M, O, and Q, are sitting in a row facing north.

1. No one sits to the right of M.
2. Only three people sit between O and M.
3. Only one person sits between M and L.
4. H sits to the immediate left of G.
5. Q is not an immediate neighbor of M

The Final Diagram,

There are four people between F and H.

Hence, the correct answer is "option 3"

The logic follows here, 

For GK - YP,

For QU - IB,

 

For WA - OH,

 

For  HL - ZS,

Therefore, the letter-cluster pair that is different from the others is GK - YP.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is:

(I) Some hats are caps. - **Follow (**All shackets are hats.Some shackets are caps.Some hats are caps is true)

(II) All caps are shackets. - Does not follow (All shackets are hats). Some shackets are caps. All caps are shackets is may be possible but not definite. Hence, it is false.

Therefore, only conclusion (I) follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic follows here, 

The term that comes in place of the question mark is PLR.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3"

Given word: KNIFERS

Arranging the letters in English alphabetical order:

Left   E F I K N R S   Right

• The letters in the standard English alphabet between I and N are : J, K, L, M.
• Count of letters = 4

Hence, the correct answer is "option 2"

The logic follows here, 

For KR 19 is related to NM 6,

For MV 11 is related to PQ -2,

Applying the same logic  to CS 7,

Hence, CS 7 is related to FN −6.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

The logic followed in this pattern is based on the positional rearrangement of letters from the first word to the subsequent words in each triad.

For the triad 'LIES - ILSE - LSIE':

The third word 'LSIE' is formed by keeping the 1^st letter and cycling the 2^nd, 3^rd, and 4^th letters from the first word:

For the triad 'FROG - RFGO - FGRO':

Applying the same logic to 'CUPS':

Thus, the triad CUPS - UCSP - CSUP follows the same logic.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given: 5 4 5 6 5 8 5 1 7 6 3 9 7 6 4 1 7 6 4 5 7 6 4 7 7 6 

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

Required Conditions: Perfect square - Even digits - Perfect square.

So, there are None such even digits.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

Given: Seven boxes G, H, I, L, M, N and O are kept one over the other but not necessarily in the same order.

1. Only three boxes are kept below H.
2. O is kept immediately above H.
3. Only G is kept above L.

1. I is kept immediately above N.
2. M is not kept at the lowermost position.

Final Arrangement:

There are three boxes, H, O, and L kept between M and G .

Hence, the correct answer is 'Three'.

Given Word: CORRECT

According to information ,

 

Left  B  P  Q  Q  F  B  S  Right 

4^th letter from right = Q

Hence, the correct answer is "option 4"

The logic follows here, 

Logic: The series follows a pattern where each subsequent number is obtained by adding consecutive multiples of 5 to the previous number.

• 63 + 5 = 68
• 68 + 10 = 78
• 78 + 15 = 93
• 93 + 20 = 113
• 113 + 25 = 138

The missing number in the series is 78.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4"

The logic follows here, 

By comparing the two phrases, we can determine the code for the common word:

Therefore, the code for ‘calm’ is ‘ix’.

Hence, the correct answer is "option 2"

Given: Six boxes F, G, H, I, J and C are kept one over the other but not necessarily in the same order

1. Only H is kept above J.
2. Only four boxes are kept between H and I.

1. Only two boxes are kept between J and F.
2. C is kept immediately above G.

Final Arrangement:

Counting from the bottom the box at the fourth position from the bottom is C.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given:  

• Vikash starts from Point A and drives 14 km towards the south. He then takes a right turn, drives 17 km, turns right and drives 19 km.
• He then takes a right turn and drives 18 km.
• He takes a final right turn, drives 5 km and stops at Point P

The Final Diagram,

1 km to the west in order to reach Point A again

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2"

Given Word: CENTURY

According to the information,

Alphabetical order: Left  D  F  O  S U  V   Z  Right

Counting from the left, the fifth letter is U.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given: Seven people P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6 and P7 are sitting around a circular table facing towards the centre of the table.

1. P2 sits to the immediate right of P6.
2. P5 is sitting immediately between P4 and P3.
3. P2 sits second to left of P4.
4. P1 sits third to left of P7

The Final Arrangement is, 

Three people are sitting between P1 and P7 when checked from right of P7.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4"

BODMAS Rule:

:

 

Given Expression: 36 A 3 C 21 D 12 B 2 = ?

After substituting the letters and following BODMAS rule 

= 36 ÷ 3 + 21 − 12 × 2

= 12 + 21 − 12 × 2

= 12 + 21 − 24

= 31− 24 

= 9

Hence, the correct answer is "option 3"
