Reasoning PYQs

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is:

(I) No Race Cars are Trains - Doesn't Follows

(There is no direct relation between race cars and trains; maybe it is possible but not definite.)

(II) Some Race Cars are Trains - Doesn't Follows

(There is no direct relation between race cars and trains; maybe it is possible but not definite.)

Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows 

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

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

1. P5 sits to the immediate left of P6.
2. There are exactly two people between P1 and P6 when checked from the right of P6.
3. P3 is sitting immediately between P2 and P1.
4. P7 is sitting immediately between P4 and P5.

The Final Diagram , 

​

The people sitting between them are P5 and P7. Thus, there are exactly two people.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

Given: 3219854

Comparing this new sequence with the original number:

 

So, the number of digits whose position remains unchanged is one = 2.

 

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

**Given:**Six boxes, R, S, T, U, V and X, are kept one over the other, but not necessarily in the same order.

1. Only one box is kept below S.
2. Only one box is kept above U.
3. Only one box is kept between U and V.

1. T is kept immediately below S.
2. R is kept at some place below X.

Final Arrangement:

• Boxes kept between X  and T are U, R, V, and S.
• Thus, there are four boxes kept between X and T.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

Seven people H, I, J, K, W, Y and Z are sitting around a circular table facing the centre of the table.

1. K sits third to the left of Z.
2. Only two people sit between J and K when counted from the right of J.
3. Only three people sit between J and I.
4. H sits to the immediate left of W

The Final Arrangement is, 

So, W sits third to the left of Y.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

The logic followed here is:

Total number of students in the row = 25

Position of Vinayak from the right end = 13^th

Position of Utkarsh from the right end = Position of Vinayak from the right end + 4

= 13 + 4

= 17^th

Position from the left end = (Total number of students − Position from the right end) + 1

Position of Utkarsh from the left end = (25 − 17) + 1

= 8 + 1

= 9^th

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is, 

By following the pattern, the missing term in the series MLJ, HGE, CBZ, XWU is SRP.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2"

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

Required Condition: Even Digit - Even Digit - Odd Digit 

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

There are three such even digits in the series: 6 6 3  ,

 8 4 3 and 4 6 1

Hence the correct answer is  'Option 1'.

The Logic followed here is:

LG - OJ - QS,

OJ - RM - TV,

Following same Logic, ID - LG - NP,

 

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Third Number = (First Number × Second Number × 2) + 1

For the first set (18, 6, 217)

⇒ (18 × 6 × 2) + 1

⇒ 108 × 2 + 1

⇒ 216 + 1 = 217.

For the second set (21, 6, 253)

⇒ (21 × 6 × 2) + 1

⇒ 126 × 2 + 1

⇒ 252 + 1 = 253.

Applying the same logic to the set (23, 4, 185)

⇒ (23 × 4 × 2) + 1

⇒ 92 × 2 + 1

⇒ 184 + 1 = 185.

Hence, the correct answer is "(23, 4, 185)".

Logic followed here is.

Logic: Identify the letter at the specified positions within the given letter series, then determine the count of letters between those two identified letters in the standard English alphabetical series.

Given Letter Series:

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

1) Letter which is third from the left end →

The letter third from the left end is S.

2) Letter which is fifth from the right end →

The letter fifth from the right end is M.

3) Count of letters between M and S in the English alphabetical series →

The identified letters are M and S. We need to find how many letters exist between them in the standard alphabet (A to Z).

Positional value of M = 13

Positional value of S = 19

The letters between M and S are: N (14), O (15), P (16), Q (17), and R (18).

Total count = 19 − 13 − 1 = 5.

The correct answer is Five

Given Number: 3184657

By comparing both sequences, we can see that only the digit 6 remains in the same position.

So, the number of digits whose position remains unchanged is 1.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

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

1. Box I is kept at the third position from the top.
2. Box N is kept at the third position from the bottom.
3. Only three boxes are kept between N and J.

1. Only three boxes are kept between I and H.
2. Box M is kept at a position somewhere above L.

Final Arrangement:

Thus, the box kept at the bottom position is H.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

The logic followed here is.

Hence, the correct answer is "option 1"

Given:  3 5 1 5 9 5 3 4 6 4 8 5 1 3 2 9 6 6 6 3 6 8 7 

Required Conditions : Odd digit - odd digit - even digit 

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

5 3 4 , 1 3 2 

So, the total number of such odd digits that satisfy the condition in the series is: Two

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

The logic follows here, 

 

Combining all three parts, the missing term is I38V.

Hence, the correct answer is "option 1".

The logic followed in this pattern is a constant addition of 4 to the positional value of each letter in the English alphabet.

For 'MKPT' related to 'QOTX':

For 'ENSU' related to 'IRWY':

Applying the same logic to 'DHGR':

Thus, DHGR is related to HLKV.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

Family Chart:

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

Given : W = F K × L @ G

Based on the tree, G is the husband of L, whose father is K. F is the sister of K, and W is the son of F. Therefore, W is the Wife's father's sister's son of G.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.$

The logic followed here is,

Logic: The code for a word is determined by summing the positional values of its letters in the alphabetical order and then multiplying the sum by 2.

For PWEA is coded as 90 ,

• Sum of positional values = 16 + 23 + 5 + 1 = 45
• Code = 45 × 2 = 90

 

For  QAMT is coded as 102,

• Sum of positional values = 17 + 1 + 13 + 20 = 51
• Code = 51 × 2 = 102

 

Applying same logic for LJCV:

• Sum of positional values = 12 + 10 + 3 + 22 = 47
• Code = 47 × 2 = 94

 

Hence, the correct answer is "option 2".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: The series follows a pattern where each subsequent number is obtained by adding consecutive multiples of 7 to the previous number.

• 8 + 7 = 15
• 15 + 14 = 29
• 29 + 21 = 50
• 50 + 28 = 78
• 78 + 35 = 113

The missing number in the series is 15.

Hence, the  correct answer is "option 3"
