Reasoning PYQs

Given series: 483         396      625      834      967

On interchanging each number first and third digits, we get: 

384   693   526   438   769

Now there is three even numbers in the series.

Hence, 3 even numbers are the right option.

Given:-

Word: PLAGIARISM

2^nd letter = L; 5^th letter = I; 6^th letter = A ; 7^th letter = R

Words formed using the above letters:

1. LIAR - A person who does not tell the truth
2. RAIL -  A bar fixed to a wall or posts and serving as a guard or barrier.
3. LAIR - A place to rest or hide
4. RIAL - The basic monetary unit of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Yemen etc.
5. LIRA - The lira is the official currency of Turkey and Northern Cyprus.

​Hence, only More than four such words are possible.

Given: There are eight cars A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H in a park within a certain distance

1) Car A is 8km to the east of Car B, which is 9km north of Car D

2) Car C is 5km to the south of Car F, which is 6km to the west of Car G

3) Car G is 4km to the north of Car A

4) Car E is 8km to the west of Car C

5) Car H is 2km to the south of Car E

Hence, Car G is in North-East direction with respect to Car C.

Given: There are eight cars A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H in a park within a certain distance

1) Car A is 8km to the east of Car B, which is 9km north of Car D

2) Car C is 5km to the south of Car F, which is 6km to the west of Car G

3) Car G is 4km to the north of Car A

4) Car E is 8km to the west of Car C

According to the question, K is sitting in the middle of G and A

Hence, the distance between G and K is 2 km.

Given,

Seven people A, B, C, J, P, Q and R are sitting around a circular table, facing the centre, not necessarily in the same order.

1)  Person A is sitting exactly in between R and J. R is not sitting adjacent to C.

2.)  The person C, who is sitting to the second right of J. (Here, the person C who is sitting second to the right of J. It is possible when only J is sitting immediately right of A.

 

3. C is sitting exactly in between B and Q.

4. B is not an immediate neighbour of P. (Here, case 1 satisfied this statement so we eliminate case 2.) Hence, the final arrangement will be as follows:

Hence, R is sitting exactly between the P and A.

The least possible venn diagram;

Conclusions:

I. Some drums are melody→ False ( No direct relation is given between the two, it is possible but not definitely true, Hence some drums are melody is false)

II. No drums are melody → False ( No direct relation is given between the two, it is possible but not definitely true, Hence No drums are melody is false)

when we combine both conclusions one of them has to be true. As both make the complementary pair of Some + No. both conclusions are false also the elements are the same.

 Hence, Either I or II follows.

The least possible Venn diagram;

Conclusions:

I. Some tables are clever is possible → True (as there is no direct relation between tables and clever, it is not definitely true but it is possible, Hence some tables are clever is possible is true)

II Some old are table → False (it is one of the possibilities but not entirely true)

Hence, Only I follow.

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

Conclusions:

I. Atleast some orange is mango → False ( as there is no relation between orange and mango. so, it is possible but it's not definite. Hence, atleast some orange is mango is false).

II. Some Grapes is definitely mango  → False ( as there is no relation between Grapes and mango. so, it is possible but it's not definite. Hence, Some Grapes is definitely mango is false).

Hence, Neither I nor II follows is the correct answer.

Given

Statements:

T < S < O = P = J > G > H ≥ A

Conclusions:

I. P > T → True (as T < S < O = P → T < P → It is clear that from this P > T)

II. A < O → True (as  O = P = J > G > H ≥ A → O  > A → its clear that A < O)

Hence, both conclusions are as follows

Given

Statements:

T > A = M < X, R ≥ Y, D ≥  N = T

On combining : D ≥ N = T > A = M < X , R ≥ Y

I. A < R → False (As there is no direct relation between R and A, A < R is False)

II. D > M → True (as D > N = T > A = M, it is definitely True, Hence D >M is true)

Hence, Only conclusion II follows.
