Reasoning PYQs

Six persons: R, S, M, Y, D and P

1. R has more colors than D and M.

2. S has more colors than P, who doesn’t have fewer colors than R.

S > P > R > D/M> D/M

3. S doesn’t have the highest number of colors.

 Y> S> P> R> D/M> D/M

above is the final arrangement,

 D has the least number of colors.

Six persons: R, S, M, Y, D and P

1. R has more colors than D and M.

2. S has more colors than P, who doesn’t have fewer colors than R.

S > P > R > D/M> D/M

3. S doesn’t have the highest number of colors.

 Y> S> P> R> D/M> D/M

above is the final arrangement,

Either 4 or 5 persons have more number of colors.

Persons – 7; P, Q, R, S, T, U and V;

Days – Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday;

1. Three persons attended between V and R.
2. Neither V nor R is either the first or the last person to attend the seminar.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.  Number of persons who attended before P is the same as the number of persons who attended after S.
4. P attended after R but immediately before T.

From this case 1 is eliminated, as there is no space for T.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. Q did not attend the seminar after U.

     From this we get the final arrangement as follows.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Only two persons before P is true.

Persons – 7; P, Q, R, S, T, U and V;

Days – Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday;

1. Three persons attended between V and R.
2. Neither V nor R is either the first or the last person to attend the seminar.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.  Number of persons who attended before P is the same as the number of persons who attended after S.
4. P attended after R but immediately before T.

From this case 1 is eliminated, as there is no space for T.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. Q did not attend the seminar after U.

     From this we get the final arrangement as follows.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 T attended on Thursday.

Persons – 7; P, Q, R, S, T, U and V;

Days – Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday;

1. Three persons attended between V and R.
2. Neither V nor R is either the first or the last person to attend the seminar.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.  Number of persons who attended before P is the same as the number of persons who attended after S.
4. P attended after R but immediately before T.

From this case 1 is eliminated, as there is no space for T.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. Q did not attend the seminar after U.

     From this we get the final arrangement as follows.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Q attended on Monday.

Persons – 7; P, Q, R, S, T, U and V;

Days – Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday;

1. Three persons attended between V and R.
2. Neither V nor R is either the first or the last person to attend the seminar.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.  Number of persons who attended before P is the same as the number of persons who attended after S.
4. P attended after R but immediately before T.

From this case 1 is eliminated, as there is no space for T.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. Q did not attend the seminar after U.

     From this we get the final arrangement as follows.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

R attended one day before T. Similarly, P attended one day before S.

Here, T attended one day before V.

Therefore T is the correct option.

Persons – 7; P, Q, R, S, T, U and V;

Days – Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday;

1. Three persons attended between V and R.
2. Neither V nor R is either the first or the last person to attend the seminar.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.  Number of persons who attended before P is the same as the number of persons who attended after S.
4. P attended after R but immediately before T.

From this case 1 is eliminated, as there is no space for T.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. Q did not attend the seminar after U.

     From this we get the final arrangement as follows.

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

Conclusions:

I. Some A are not B → True (as only a few A is B → Some A are B and Some A are not B. So, it is true)

II. Some A are C → False (as there is no direct relation between A and C, it is possible but not definite. So, it is false)

Only conclusion I follows.

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

Conclusions:

I. Some Pet are not Cat → True (as Only a few Pet are Cat → Some Pet are not Cat and Some Pet are Cat. So, it is true)

II. Some Bat are Cat → False (as there is no direct relation between Bat and Cat, it is possible but not definite. So, it is false)

Only conclusion I follows.

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

Conclusions:

I. All Train can be Bike → False (As Only a few Train is Bike means some train is bike and some train is not bike, so All Train can be Bike is not possible. So it is false)

II. Some Bike is Car → False (As there is no direct relation between car and bike it is possible but not definite. So it is false)

Neither I nor II follows.

We have 2 complementary pairs in an either-or case

I. All + Some Not

II. No + Some
