Reasoning PYQs

People = P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, and W

1. P is sitting third to the left of R.

(As it is a circular arrangement, we can randomly select a seat for R and then place P accordingly.)

2. S is sitting opposite U.

3. P is an immediate neighbor of S.

(Clearly, we cannot place S to the immediate left of P as R is sitting opposite to that seat. Implies, S is sitting to the immediate right of P and U is sitting second to the right of R.)

4. Q is sitting second to the right of W.

(There are two possibilities to place Q and W. In the first case we can place W to the immediate right of S and Q to the immediate right of R and in the second case we can place W to the immediate right of R and W to the immediate right of U.)

5. W is not an immediate neighbor of S.

(Implies, the first case of the previous statement is not true. Thus, W is sitting to the immediate right of R and Q is sitting to the immediate right of U.)

6. V is not sitting opposite R.

(If V is not sitting opposite R then he must be sitting to the immediate left of R as it is the only seat left. Also, now that only one person is left to be placed i.e. T, we can place T opposite R as it is the only seat left to be filled.)

Clearly, T is sitting third to the right of W.

2. S is sitting opposite U.

3. P is an immediate neighbor of S.

(Clearly, we cannot place S to the immediate left of P as R is sitting opposite to that seat. Implies, S is sitting to the immediate right of P and U is sitting second to the right of R.)

4. Q is sitting second to the right of W.

(There are two possibilities to place Q and W. In the first case we can place W to the immediate right of S and Q to the immediate right of R and in the second case we can place W to the immediate right of R and W to the immediate right of U.)

5. W is not an immediate neighbor of S.

(Implies, the first case of the previous statement is not true. Thus, W is sitting to the immediate right of R and Q is sitting to the immediate right of U.)

6. V is not sitting opposite R.

(If V is not sitting opposite R then he must be sitting to the immediate left of R as it is the only seat left. Also, now that only one person is left to be placed i.e. T, we can place T opposite R as it is the only seat left to be filled.)

Clearly, four people are sitting between V and T if we start from V and move towards the anti-clockwise direction.

Hence, the fourth letter of the word formed by chosen letters is ‘O’.

From the given information,

(i) T is the mother of V. R is the grandmother of V.

(ii) Q is the husband of R. S is the brother-in-law of Q.

(iii) U is the son-in-law of Q. P is the nephew of S.

(iv) There are 4 males in the family. It means V is female.

Hence, V is the niece of P.

From the given information,

(i) T is the mother of V. R is the grandmother of V.

(ii) Q is the husband of R. S is the brother-in-law of Q.

(iii) U is the son-in-law of Q. P is the nephew of S.

(iv) There are 4 males in the family. It means V is female.

Hence, P is the son of Q.

Option 1: B + 3 = E, E + 3 = H

Option 2: H + 3 = K, K + 3 = N

Option 3: N + 2 = P, P + 2 = R

Option 4: T + 3 = W, W + 3 = Z

Option 5: K + 3 = N, N + 3 = Q

Hence, the correct answer is NPR.

1. P sits second to the right of R and second to the left of T.

2. Two people sit between T and N.

3. The number of people sits between Q and M is the same as the number of people sits between M and S.

4. M does not sit near T.

5. O sits second to the left of S. (This eliminates case 2)

Final arrangement:

Hence, ‘S’ sits immediately to the right of T.

1. P sits second to the right of R and second to the left of T.

2. Two people sit between T and N.

3. The number of people sits between Q and M is the same as the number of people sits between M and S.

4. M does not sit near T.

5. O sits second to the left of S. (This eliminates case 2)

Final arrangement:

Hence, ‘O’ sits opposite to Q.

1. P sits second to the right of R and second to the left of T.

2. Two people sit between T and N.

3. The number of people sits between Q and M is the same as the number of people sits between M and S.

4. M does not sit near T.

5. O sits second to the left of S. (This eliminates case 2)

Final arrangement:

Hence, none will remain unchanged(excluding M), if all the people are made to sit in alphabetical order in a clockwise direction starting from M.

1. P sits second to the right of R and second to the left of T.

2. Two people sit between T and N.

3. The number of people sits between Q and M is the same as the number of people sits between M and S.

4. M does not sit near T.

5. O sits second to the left of S. (This eliminates case 2)

Final arrangement:

Hence, two persons sit between M and N, when counted clockwise direction from N.

1. P sits second to the right of R and second to the left of T.

2. Two people sit between T and N.

3. The number of people sits between Q and M is the same as the number of people sits between M and S.

4. M does not sit near T.

5. O sits second to the left of S. (This eliminates case 2)

Final arrangement:

All are immediate neighbors of each other except ‘T - R’

Hence, ‘T - R’ does not belong to that group.

From given Information:

1. Q has third highest weight weighing 88 kg.

_ > _ > Q (88) > _ > _ > _ > _

2. Three people have their weight between Q and P. so according to this condition P has the lowest weight.

_ > _ > Q (88) > _ > _ > _ > P

3. No one have weight between P and S and the second lowest weighs 78 kg. So S will be second lowest here.

_ > _ > Q (88) > _ > _ > S (78) > P

4. R is immediately above S in weight, T is immediately above U in weight.

 T > U > Q (88) > _ > R > S (78) > P

5. Only V is remaining so he will be at the vacant place. 

 T > U > Q (88) > V > R > S (78) > P

Hence, the weights of S and R is 78 and 86 respectively.

From given Information:

1. Q has third highest weight weighing 88 kg.

_ > _ > Q (88) > _ > _ > _ > _

2. Three people have their weight between Q and P. so according to this condition P has the lowest weight.

_ > _ > Q (88) > _ > _ > _ > P

3. No one have weight between P and S and the second lowest weighs 78 kg. So S will be second lowest here.

_ > _ > Q (88) > _ > _ > S (78) > P

4. R is immediately above S in weight, T is immediately above U in weight.

 T > U > Q (88) > _ > R > S (78) > P

5. Only V is remaining so he will be at the vacant place. 

 T > U > Q (88) > V > R > S (78) > P

Hence, T has the highest weight among them.

Thus ‘gv’ is decoded as ‘status’.

Thus ‘submit update details’ is coded as ‘cr ur kt’.

Thus ‘su mp’ is decoded as ‘enforce subsidy’
