Reasoning PYQs

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows,

Conclusions:

I. Some lemons are orange → False (only fruits are orange.)

II. All lemons being fruits is a possibility → True (it is possible.)

III. No lemon is orange → True (only fruits are orange.)

Thus, both conclusions II and III follow.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows,

Conclusions:

I. No laptop is charger → False (some charger are laptop → some laptop are charger.)

II. Some mobiles are laptop → True (as some mobile are chargers and all chargers are laptop.)

Thus, only conclusion II follows.

The least possible diagram for the given statements is as follows 

Conclusions:

I. Some clocks are sweets → True (Some part of clocks are definitely sweets) 

II. All sweets are clocks → False (It is possible but not definite)

Hence, only I follows.

1. R is positioned at one end of the row.
2. There is only one person between R and K.

Here, we have 2 Cases, i.e., Case 1 and Case 2. 3. Exactly six persons are standing between K and J. 4. J is placed third from one of the ends. 5. The number of individuals between M and T is the same as that between K and M. 6. There are more than six people standing between R and T.

Here, we have 4 Cases, i.e., Case 1, Case 2, Case 1a, and Case 2a. 7. P stands fifth to the right of M.

Now, we can eliminate Case 2. 8. Not more than five people stand between J and P.

Now, we can eliminate Case 2a. 9. T doesn't stand immediately left of P.

Now, we can eliminate Case 1a.

This is our final arrangement,

Hence, the correct answer is 12.

Now, we can eliminate Case 2a. 9. T doesn't stand immediately left of P.

Now, we can eliminate Case 1a.

This is our final arrangement,

Hence, the correct answer is P.

The given word is, "IMPACTFUL"

 

There is no letter that remains unchanged.

Hence, the correct answer is None.

Given series- NFG       UIZ       KGH       LTZ       OPF

The first letter of all the words is changed to its previous letter of the English alphabetical series:  MFG       TIZ       JGH       KTZ       NPF

So, four words will have more than two consonants.

Hence, the answer is four.

Given series- NFG       UIZ       KGH       LTZ       OPF

All the letters in each of the words are arranged alphabetically within the word:  FGN       IUZ       GHK       LTZ       FOP

So, LTZ word will remain unchanged.

Hence, the answer is one.

Given series- NFG       UIZ       KGH       LTZ       OPF

The first and second letter of each word is changed to its next letter according to the alphabetical series:  OGG       VJZ       LHH       MUZ       PQF

Hence, the answer is two.

NOTE-

There are five vowels in English alphabets - A, E, I, O, U

Given series- NFG       UIZ       KGH       LTZ       OPF

Each vowel of each word is changed to its previous letter according to the alphabetical series: 

NFG       THZ       KGH       LTZ       NPF

So, zero meaningful words will be formed.

Hence, the answer is zero.

Given series- NFG       UIZ       KGH       LTZ       OPF

Words are arranged according to the alphabetical series from left to right: 

KGH       LTZ       NFG       OPF       UIZ

So, LTZ is second from the left end.

Hence, the answer is LTZ.

Let us draw the diagram according to the information given in the question,

According to Pythagoras’ theorem, the shortest distance between clue A and clue C

= √(5² + 5²)

= √(25 + 25)

= √50

= 5√2

Hence, the shortest distance between clue A and clue C is 5√2 m.

Let us draw the diagram according to the information given in the question,

Hence, the starting point is in the north-west direction with respect to the end point.

Let us draw the diagram according to the information given in the question,

Clue B is in the north-east direction with respect to clue D.

According to Pythagoras’ theorem, the distance between clue B and clue D

= √(5² + 3²)

= √(25 + 9)

= √34

Hence, clue B is √34 m north-east of clue D.

Here, boxes are F, G, H, I, J, K, L and M.

1. Box J is placed three boxes above the box M.

2. Two boxes placed between Box M and Box H.

 

3. Box G is placed just below the box J.

4. Two boxes are placed between Box L and Box K.

5. More than two boxes are placed between Box G and Box L.

   

6. Box I is placed above the box F but below the box K. Therefore, case 1 and case 2(b) are eliminated. Hence, the final arrangement is as follows

 

Hence, Box G is placed just above the Box K.

Here, boxes are F, G, H, I, J, K, L and M.

1. Box J is placed three boxes above the box M.

2. Two boxes placed between Box M and Box H.

 

3. Box G is placed just below the box J.

4. Two boxes are placed between Box L and Box K.

5. More than two boxes are placed between Box G and Box L.

   

6. Box I is placed above the box F but below the box K. Therefore, case 1 and case 2(b) are eliminated. Hence, the final arrangement is as follows

 

Since, only one box is placed above the box G and one box is placed below the box H.

Hence, the correct answer is Box H.

Here, boxes are F, G, H, I, J, K, L and M.

1. Box J is placed three boxes above the box M.

2. Two boxes placed between Box M and Box H.

 

3. Box G is placed just below the box J.

4. Two boxes are placed between Box L and Box K.

5. More than two boxes are placed between Box G and Box L.

   

6. Box I is placed above the box F but below the box K. Therefore, case 1 and case 2(b) are eliminated. Hence, the final arrangement is as follows

 

Since, only one box is placed between Box M and Box L and same number of box is placed between the Box F and Box L.

Hence, the correct answer is As many boxes placed between Box F and Box L.

Here, boxes are F, G, H, I, J, K, L and M.

1. Box J is placed three boxes above the box M.

2. Two boxes placed between Box M and Box H.

 

3. Box G is placed just below the box J.

4. Two boxes are placed between Box L and Box K.

5. More than two boxes are placed between Box G and Box L.

   

6. Box I is placed above the box F but below the box K. Therefore, case 1 and case 2(b) are eliminated. Hence, the final arrangement is as follows

 

Since, four boxes are placed below the Box M not two boxes. Therefore, statement first is incorrect.

No box is placed between Box I and Box M. Therefore, statement second is incorrect.

Four boxes placed below the box M and three boxes are placed above it.  Therefore, statement third is correct.

Only one box is placed between Box M and Box L. Therefore, statement fourth is incorrect.

Hence, the correct statement is The number of boxes placed below the box M is more than that of above it.

Here, boxes are F, G, H, I, J, K, L and M.

1. Box J is placed three boxes above the box M.

2. Two boxes placed between Box M and Box H.

 

3. Box G is placed just below the box J.

4. Two boxes are placed between Box L and Box K.

5. More than two boxes are placed between Box G and Box L.

   

6. Box I is placed above the box F but below the box K. Therefore, case 1 and case 2(b) are eliminated. Hence, the final arrangement is as follows

 

Since, Box L is placed two boxes above the Box F. Therefore, statement A is correct.

Box I is placed just below the Box M. Therefore, statement B is correct.

Three boxes are placed between Box H and Box K. Therefore, statement C is correct.

Hence, the correct answer is All of these.
