Reasoning PYQs

Given original number: 9342156

When we arrange the digits of the number in ascending order from left to right, we obtain a new sequence of digits. Let's compare the original sequence with the new sequence position-wise:

Original number: 9 3 4 2 1 5 6

Ascending Order: 1 2 3 4 5 6 9

As observed, every digit has moved from its original position. There are no digits whose position remains unchanged after the rearrangement.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3"

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

1. Y is placed at the bottommost position (Position 1).
2. Box V is kept immediately above W.
3. Box X is kept immediately below W.
4. Exactly three boxes are kept between T and W.
5. W is kept on one of the positions above T.

1. Box U is kept immediately above Z.

Final Arrangement:

Looking at the final arrangement, the box kept second from the bottom is T.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

The logic follows here, 

• 17 + 23 = 40
• 40 + 21 = 61
• 61 + 19 = 80
• 80 + 17 = 97
• 97 + 15 = 112
• 112 + 13 = 125

 

Thus, the missing term in the series is 125.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4';

The logic follows here , 

Logic: The difference between the alphabetical positions of the consecutive letters in each cluster is +3 and +4.

For BEI,

For  VZC,

For HKO,

For ZCG,

Therefore, the letter cluster that is different from the others is VZC.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

The logic follows here, 

The shaded part in the diagram shows engineers are there who are also athletes but not teachers

Total number of engineers are there who are also athletes but not teachers is 24.

Hence, the correct answer is "option 1"

The logic followed here is:

Logic: 2^nd Number = 1^st Number + 4; 3^rd Number = 2^nd Number + 8

For the first set (99, 103, 111)

⇒ 99 + 4 = 103.

⇒ 103 + 8 = 111.

Applying the same logic to the second set (157, 161, 169)

⇒ 157 + 4 = 161.

⇒ 161 + 8 = 169.

Applying the same logic to the set in Option 3

(208, 212, 220)

⇒ 208 + 4 = 212.

⇒ 212 + 8 = 220.

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. D sits third to the left of R.
2. A sits second to the left of G.
3. Only R sits between I and A.
4. E is not an immediate neighbor of D.

The Final Diagram, 

Two people sit between N and A when counted from the right of N.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

Given number: 7213546

As per the given conditions, 2 is added to each odd digit and 2 is subtracted from each even digit:

The number formed after these operations is: 9035724

• The highest digit is: 9
• The lowest digit is: 0

So, the difference between the highest and lowest digits is: 9 - 0 = 9.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

The logic follows here, 

**Logic:**The pattern observed is: (Sum of reverse positional values of letters) + 14.

For VINP is coded as 61,

• Sum of reverse positional values = 5 + 18 + 13 + 11 = 47
• Code = 47 + 14 = 61

 

For FSKA is coded as 85,

• Sum of reverse positional values = 21 + 8 + 16 + 26 = 71
• Code = 71 + 14 = 85

 

Applying the same logic for TOYG,

• Sum of reverse positional values = 7 + 12 + 2 + 20 = 41
• Code = 41 + 14 = 55

 

Hence, the correct answer is "option 2"

The logic follows here, 

 

The missing cluster in the series is PGV 55.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4"

Given :  X P S A D U G L O E J F K I M C R T Q 

Vowels are there in the English alphabetical series between the letter which is third from the right end and fifth from the left end of the series is: O,E and I . 

Left  X P S A D U G L O E J F K I M C R T Q  Right 

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

The logic follows here, 

Therefore, the cluster that replaces the question mark is BWH 83.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4."

Given:  E S I C X Z O W G U K A Q D F T B Y M R H

Required Conditions: Vowel − Consonant − Vowel

(Left) E S I C X Z O W G U K A Q D F T B Y M R H (Right)

ESI and UKA.

Hence ,the correct answer is "option 1"

The logic followed here is based on the positions of the letters in the English alphabetical order.

Logic: First letter + 4 = Second letter; Second letter + 3 = Third letter.

For QNJ,

For GKN,

For  BFI,

For PTW,

Therefore, the letter-cluster that is different from the others is QNJ.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

Family Chart:

The Family tree Diagram is,

Therefore, Anita is the mother of Kunal, and Chetna is the mother of Anita. This makes Chetna the Mother's mother (maternal grandmother) of Kunal.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Family Chart:

Let us first decode the given symbols and then draw a family tree.

 

Given: ‘S × D + R ÷ Y @ H’

 

From the family tree, it is evident that Y is the mother of H, and R is the father of Y (making R the maternal grandfather). D is the brother of R, and S is the wife of D. Therefore, S is the Mother's father's brother's wife of H.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

The logic follows here, 

Combining the results, the next cluster in the series is UJ69.

Hence, the correct answer is "option 2"

The logic follows here, 

For RS 4 is related to UR −11, 

For IJ 8 is related to LI −7,

Applying the same logic to MN 12:

Following this logic, MN 12 is related to PM −3.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

Given:  O K I Y C R L U K V I E H L Y V O N Q O S Z

Required Conditions: Vowel -  Consonant - Vowel

The vowels are: A, E, I, O, U.

For the given series:

(Left) O K I Y C R L U K V I E H L Y V O N Q O S Z (Right)

• There is only one consonant that is immediately preceded and followed by a O-K-I.
• The total number of such consonants is 1.

 

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2"

The logic follows here, 

Therefore, the letter S is coded as 9.

Hence, the correct answer is "option 1"
