Reasoning PYQs

1) Starting from point P, Yuvraj walked 20 meters toward the South and reached point O.

2. He turned left and walked 30 meters and reached point Q.

3. He then turned left and walked 20 meters and reached point R.

4. He again turned left and walked 40 meters and reached point S.

5. Then he turned right and walked for 30 meters and reached point T.

6. He again turned left and walked 20 meters and reached point U.

7. Then he turned left and walked 70 meters and reached point V.

8. From there he turned left and walked 20 meters and reached point W.

9. Then he turned left and walked 10 meters and reached point X.

10. At last he turned right and walked 10 meters and reached point Y.

Drawn the figure according to the information given in the question:

 

 

Distance from P to S = 10m , S to T= 30m, T to U= 20m, U to V= 70m**,**

10+ 30 + 20 + 70 = 130 meters 

Hence, the total distance traveled by Yuvraj from starting point P to point V is 130 m.

1) Starting from point P, Yuvraj walked 20 meters toward the South and reached point O.

2. He turned left and walked 30 meters and reached point Q.

Table show alphabet serial number –

The logic is shown below –

Hence, “HFD” is the missing term which completes the series.

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

      

Conclusion:

I. No shelf is table → True (as all shelf are board and no board is table)

II. Some board are book → True (as all each shelf is board nd some shelf are book)

Hence, both I and II follow.

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

Conclusion: 

I. Some Buses are not Oil → True (as no shoes are oil and some buses are shoes. This imply that part of the bus that is shoes definitely not oil. Hence, true).

II. Some Keywords are Shoes → False (It is possible but not definite as there is no direct relation between Keywords and Shoes).

Hence,  only conclusion I follow.

The least possible Venn diagram;

Conclusion: 

I. All Boys being Girls is a possibility → False (because Only a few Boys are Girls which means there is a condition that some boys are girls but some boys are not girls also.)

II. Some Men are Girls → True (As Some Girls are Women and All Women are Men. Imply that some Men are Girls).

Hence, Only conclusion II follows.
