Reasoning PYQs

Eight persons joined Infosys.

Dates:- 5^th and 17^th

Months:- January, April, August, and September.

Marks:- 14, 16, 19, 22, 27, 29, 32 and 33.

1. H joined immediately after the one who scored 29 and in a month with 30 days.
2. The highest scorer joined on 5^th April.
3. C scored three marks lesser than D and joined in April.
4. Total marks scored by the candidates, who joined in April is not more than 50 marks.

So, C should be 16 and D should be 19.

Following are the possibilities we get,

 

5. Three persons joined between those who scored 16 marks and 27 marks.
6. H doesn’t score 27 marks, so case 3 is eliminated.

 

7. G scored two marks more than F.

So, the only possibility is G scored 29 and F scored 27. 8. A joined before G. 9. Number of persons who joined before A is the same as those who joined after F.

 

10. D joined immediately after A, this is violated in case 1, so it is eliminated.
11. E scored more than B and joined before B. So, E must have scored 33 marks.
12. Only one person joined between B and the one who scored 22 marks. So, H scored 22 marks.
13. Person, who scored 19 marks joined immediately after the one who scored 32 marks. 

So, D scored 19 marks, and A scored 32 marks. Thus, B must have scored 14 marks.

The final schedule table is given below:

 

No person joined between B (14) lowest scorer and G (29) 3^rd highest scorer.

Hence, none of these is the answer.

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

Conclusions:

I. Some sweets are chocolates → True (As we can see that all chocolates are spicy and all spicy are sweets. So, some sweets are chocolates is definitely true)

II. Some sweets are spicy → True (As we can see that all spicy are sweets. So, some sweets are spicy is definitely true)

Hence, Both I and II follow.

The least possible diagram for the given statements is as follows

Conclusions:

I. Atleast some metals are gold → False (It is possible but not definite)

II. Some bronze being gold is a possibility → False (It is a true statement. It cannot be a possibility)

III. Some bronze are definitely silver → True (Some gold is silver and all gold is bronze)

Hence, only conclusion III follows.

The least possible diagram for the given statements is as follows

Conclusions:

I. No printer is a computer → False (It is possible but not definite, as there is no direct relation between printer and computer)

II. Some computers are definitely not televisions → False (It is possible but not definite)

Hence, neither conclusion I nor II follows.

According to the given information, we get the following figure,

In all the options, first point is in west of second point except in X – D.

Hence, ‘X – D’ does not belong to the group.

According to the given information, we get the following figure, 

By using Pythagoras theorem,

Shortest distance between W and A = √ (3² + 4²) = √ (9 + 16) = √25 = 5

Hence, the shortest distance between point W and point A is 5 km.

According to the given information, we get the following figure,

Hence, point Y is in north of point A.

As two words are there:

PACE and CAPE

Hence, X is the correct answer.

Three different departments: Marketing, Production, and Operations.

(1) B and E work in same department. (2) M works in Operations. (3) B does not works in Marketing department. Therefore, we get following two cases:

 

(4) A works in production department not with L. (5) H and G work in same department but neither with A nor with M.  

 

(6) J, K and L work in same department. Since, A does not work with L, case (II) eliminates here and thus the final arrangement is as follows:

 

We can see that, M, K, L, and J work in same department i.e., operations.

Hence, E works in different department.

We can see that there are three people in production department.

Hence, only two people work in production department is false.

(1) S is sitting third from the extreme end. (2) Two people are sitting between S and F. (3) T is sitting second to the right of F. (4) A is sitting exactly between E and F. A is adjacent to E. (5) Six people are sitting between T and V, who does not sit at any end. (6) G is sitting to sixth to the right of T. Case (II) eliminates here. (7) Number of people sitting to the right of G is same as the people sitting to the left of E. (8) Two people are sitting between P and R who is sitting to the right of V. Therefore, the final seating arrangement is as follows:

Hence, option 5 is true.

(1) S is sitting third from the extreme end. (2) Two people are sitting between S and F. (3) T is sitting second to the right of F. (4) A is sitting exactly between E and F.  A is adjacent to E.

(7) Number of people sitting to the right of G is the same as the people sitting to the left of E. (8) Two people are sitting between P and R who is sitting to the right of V. Therefore, the final seating arrangement is as follows:

Hence, eight persons are sitting between A and G.

(1) S is sitting third from the extreme end. (2) Two people are sitting between S and F. (3) T is sitting second to the right of F. (4) A is sitting exactly between E and F. A is adjacent to E. (5) Six people are sitting between T and V, who does not sit at any end. (6) G is sitting to sixth to the right of T. Case (II) eliminates here. (7) Number of people sitting to the right of G is same as the people sitting to the left of E. (8) Two people are sitting between P and R who is sitting to the right of V. Therefore, the final seating arrangement is as follows:

Hence, 17 persons are there in the row.

(1) S is sitting third from the extreme end. (2) Two people are sitting between S and F. (3) T is sitting second to the right of F. (4) A is sitting exactly between E and F. A is adjacent to E. (5) Six people are sitting between T and V, who does not sit at any end. (6) G is sitting to sixth to the right of T. Case (II) eliminates here. (7) Number of people sitting to the right of G is same as the people sitting to the left of E. (8) Two people are sitting between P and R who is sitting to the right of V. Therefore, the final seating arrangement is as follows:

Hence, S is sitting second to the left of A.
