Reasoning PYQs

The least possible Venn diagram is :

Conclusions:

I) Some story are not fake → TRUE (As no real is fake and some part of real which is story also will not be fake, thus the conclusion follows)

II) Some story can be fake → TRUE (Some part of story that is real will be fake, but we don't have any information about the remaining part of story so the conclusion will be true).

Hence, "Both conclusion I and II follows".

The least possible Venn diagram is:

Conclusions: 

(I) All doors are shelf is a possibility → FALSE (The possibility is false, as some fan can be shelf and some fan are not shelf, so possibility of all door to be shelf cannot be true).

(II) All shelf can be door → TRUE (the conclusion will be true, as there is no direct relation between door and shelf given).

Hence, "only conclusion II follows".

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

Conclusions:

I. Some sad can be sorrow. → True (It is possible that Some Sad are Sorrow as there is no direct or negative relation given between them. Hene, it follows.)

II. Some laugh is joy. → False (It is possible but not definite as there is no direct relationship given between Laugh and Joy. Hence, it doesn't follow.)

Hence, the correct answer is Only I follows.

Boxes: U, V, W, X, Y, and Z

Colors: Maroon, Ivory, Purple, Lavender, Blush, and Aqua.

1) Two boxes are there between the Ivory and Maroon color boxes. The maroon color box is placed below the Ivory color box.

Only one box is placed between Box W and the Ivory color box.

 

2) No box was placed between the Z and Maroon color boxes. Z is not a Maroon color box. The box U was placed just above the lavender color box. Box U is neither an Ivory color nor a Blush color box. Box X is placed below the Lavender color box.

Given number:- 286354256

If all the odd digits are increased by 3 and the even digit of the number is decreased by two, then

 

The sum of all the digits of the number thus formed is 0+6+4+6+8+2+0+8+4 = 38.

Hence, the correct answer is 38.

Given word:- SOMETHING

Forward Pair - HI

Backward Pair - IM, GI, GM

Thus, there are four such pairs of letters in the word “SOMETHING” which has as many letters between them as in the English alphabetical series (both in forward and backward directions).

Hence, the correct answer is More than three.

We follow the given symbols to illustrate the relations:

1) P is the sister of Q. Q and R are married. R and S is the only child of T.

2) V is the grandmother of U. U is the nephew of S. S is unmarried. I is the daughter-in-law of V.

If we assume that V is the paternal grandmother of U then V is the wife of T and mother of R and S. But, It is also given that I is the daughter-in-law of V which contradicts the given condition that S is Unmarried. So, V is the maternal grandmother of U. Also, assume that V has a son whose wife is I.

Hence, the final arrangement is:

Hence, P is the Aunt of U.

We follow the given symbols to illustrate the relations:

1) P is the sister of Q. Q and R are married. R and S is the only child of T.

2) V is the grandmother of U. U is the nephew of S. S is unmarried. I is the daughter-in-law of V.

If we assume that V is the paternal grandmother of U then V is the wife of T and mother of R and S. But, It is also given that I is the daughter-in-law of V which contradicts the given condition that S is Unmarried. So, V is the maternal grandmother of U. Also, assume that V has a son whose wife is I.

Hence, the final arrangement is:

Hence, Q is either son-in-law or daughter-in-law of T.

We follow the given symbols to illustrate the relations:

1) P is the sister of Q. Q and R are married. R and S is the only child of T.

2) V is the grandmother of U. U is the nephew of S. S is unmarried. I is the daughter-in-law of V.

If we assume that V is the paternal grandmother of U then V is the wife of T and mother of R and S. But, It is also given that I is the daughter-in-law of V which contradicts the given condition that S is Unmarried. So, V is the maternal grandmother of U. Also, assume that V has a son whose wife is I.

Hence, the final arrangement is:

If K is married to I, then this will be the arrangement.

Hence, K is the brother of P.

Person: Varun, Pinku, Kabir, Fane, Avi, Seema, Rohan, and Ena

Number of person facing center is less than the number of persons facing opposite to the center. This condition can only be fulfilled if the number of persons facing the center is less than or equal to three.

1) Seema is facing the center. Varun sits second to the right of Seema. Two persons sit between Varun and Pinku.

In Case 1, the immediate neighbor of Pinku is Seema who is facing towards the center. So, Pinku faces away from the center because the immediate neighbors of Pinku are facing the opposite direction to Pinku. Then Ena will be an immediate neighbor of Varun which contradicts the given condition which is why Case 1 is eliminated.

3) As already three persons are facing the center all others will be facing opposite to the center. Rohan is not a neighbor of Pinku and Ena. Kabir sits second to the right of Rohan. Avi is not an immediate neighbor of Ena.

The final arrangement is:

Hence, The person who sits to the immediate left of Ena (Seema) sits to the immediate right of Kabir.

3) As already three persons are facing the center all others will be facing opposite to the center. Rohan is not a neighbor of Pinku and Ena. Kabir sits second to the right of Rohan. Avi is not an immediate neighbor of Ena.

The final arrangement is:

All are facing outside except Seema. Hence, Seema does not belong to that group.

The logic is:

IRYB → 9 + 18 + 25 + 2 = 54

LYGJ → 12 + 25 + 7 + 10 = 54

MGHZ → 13 + 7 + 8 + 26 = 54

NCPV → 14 + 3 + 16 + 22 = 55 (Different sum)

RYEF → 18 + 25 + 5 + 6 = 54

Hence, the correct answer is NCPV.

**Given

Statement:

** N > F > O ≤ M, O ≤ B > A

On Combining: N > F > O ≤ B > A, N > F > O ≤ M

Conclusion: 

I) O < A → FALSE (O ≤ B > A, thus the conclusion dose not follow )

II) M ≤ O → FALSE (M ≥ O, as it is clearly given in the conclusion O cannot be greater, thus the conclusion dose not follows).

Hence, "Neither conclusion I nor II follows".
