Reasoning PYQs

Given

Statements:

T < U < X; U < W < Z = O; Z < N > M

On combining: T < U < W < Z = O < N > M; X > U < W < Z = O < N > M

Conclusions:

I. T > M → False (as T < U < W < Z = O < N > M, so no definite relationship can be determined between T and M.)

II. X < N → False (as  X > U < W < Z = O < N, so no definite relationship can be determined between X and N.)

There is no direct relation given between T & M and X & N so both the conclusions don't follow.

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

**Given

Statement:

** O ≤ Z > U > L > A; Z ≤ C ≤ N; L < Q

On Combining: O ≤ Z > U > L > A; O ≤ Z ≤ C ≤ N; Q > L > A

Conclusions:

I: O < N → False (as O ≤ Z ≤ C ≤ N, N is greater than equal to O so alone only greater than will be considered as false.) 

II: O = N → False (as O ≤ Z ≤ C ≤ N, N is greater than equal to O so alone only equal to will be considered as false.)

Both the conclusion are false and the elements are the same so both make a complimentary pair.

Thus, Either I or II follows.

According to the given information in the question we can draw the following figure:

1)  After walking 5m in the north direction he reaches point F. From there he turns to the east direction and walks 6m to reach point G. From there he turns to the Southeast direction and walks 4m to reach point H. Then he turns in the east direction and walks 10m to reach point I. Then he starts walking in the north direction and walks 20m to reach point J. 

 

2) Then he turns in the west direction and walks 12m to reach point K. Then he turns Southwest direction and again walks 3m to reach point L. From L he walks 5m west to reach point M. Then he turns to the North and walks 7m to reach point N. Finally, he turned right and reached point O after walking 2m.

The final arrangement is:

 

According to the Pythagoras theorem,

JH = √ (HI) ² + (IJ) ²         

JH = √ (10) 2 + (20) 2                                                             

JH = √ (100) + (400) 

JH = 10√ 5 m         

Hence, the shortest distance between points J and H is 10√ 5 m.

According to the given information in the question we can draw the following figure:

1)  After walking 5m in the north direction he reaches point F. From there he turns to the east direction and walks 6m to reach point G. From there he turns to the Southeast direction and walks 4m to reach point H. Then he turns in the east direction and walks 10m to reach point I. Then he starts walking in the north direction and walks 20m to reach point J. 

 

2) Then he turns in the west direction and walks 12m to reach point K. Then he turns Southwest direction and again walks 3m to reach point L. From L he walks 5m west to reach point M. Then he turns to the North and walks 7m to reach point N. Finally, he turned right and reached point O after walking 2m.

The final arrangement is:

Hence, Point N is in North-West direction with respect to point G.

According to the given information in the question we can draw the following figure:

1)  After walking 5m in the north direction he reaches point F. From there he turns to the east direction and walks 6m to reach point G. From there he turns to the Southeast direction and walks 4m to reach point H. Then he turns in the east direction and walks 10m to reach point I. Then he starts walking in the north direction and walks 20m to reach point J. 

 

2) Then he turns in the west direction and walks 12m to reach point K. Then he turns Southwest direction and again walks 3m to reach point L. From L he walks 5m west to reach point M. Then he turns to the North and walks 7m to reach point N. Finally, he turned right and reached point O after walking 2m.

The final arrangement is:

Hence, Shyam traveled 50m from point H to M.

Given word - “BONAFIDE” 

There are a total of 6 pairs of letters in the word which has as many letters between them as there are in the English alphabetical series, 4 pairs forward and 2 pairs backward.

Hence, the correct answer is Six.

The 2^nd, 5^th, 7^th, and 11^th letters from the left end of the word "SHOWERING" are H, E, I and G respectively.

No any four-letter meaningful word can be formed using the letters H, E, I and G.

If no meaningful word is formed, then we have to mark X as our answer.

Hence, the correct answer is X.

The least possible Venn Diagram for the given statements will be as follows,

 

I. All inequality can be coding → False (as no puzzle is coding and some puzzle is inequality therefore some inequality which is puzzle is not coding. Certainly, all inequality can never be coding)

II. Some puzzle is not input → False (as we cannot established any relation between puzzle and input that’s why it would be considered as false)

Hence, neither I nor II follow.

The least possible Venn Diagram for the given statements will be as follows,

 

I. Some false can be wrong → False (as no false is correct and all wrong is correct. certainly, no false is wrong)

II. Some true can be correct → True (as we know only some true cannot be correct but there might be some true which is correct. So, the possibility holds true)

Hence, only II follow.

Preparing the family tree using the following symbol:

From the given instructions:

1. H is the sister-in-law of G, who is the spouse of E. F is the daughter of E and mother of D, who is the granddaughter of G. So, we can say,

2. E is the daughter-in-law of C, who is the husband of A. D and H are not married. As , there are  three married couples and both parents are alive in the family F is married to B. 

Number of Female is more than male, D will be female. 

So, Finally:

So, F is the spouse of B.
