Reasoning PYQs

Fourteen People: A, B, C, D, E, F, and G in row 1 facing south and P, Q, R, S, T, U, and V in row 2 facing north.

(1) F is sitting third from on of the extreme ends. (2) Two persons are sitting between the one facing F and S. (3) Three persons are sitting between the immediate neighbor of the one who is facing S and D. (4) T is facing the immediate neighbor of D. (5) P is sitting to the immediate right of T. (6) A and B does not sit at any of the ends. (7) Two persons are sitting between the one who is facing the immediate neighbor of A and P. (8) At least three persons are sitting between the one facing P and B. Since, B cannot sit at any end case I eliminates. (9) Q is facing the one who is sitting second to the left of B. 

(10) C is neither facing T nor Q.

(11) R is sitting fourth to the left of V. So, we left with only U in the row which is facing north.

(12) G is sitting to second to the right of E. Therefore the final seating arrangement is as follows:

Hence, T does not sit at any end.

(10) C is neither facing T nor Q.

(11) R is sitting fourth to the left of V. So, we left with only U in the row which is facing north.

(12) G is sitting to second to the right of E. Therefore the final seating arrangement is as follows:

I. U sits third from the extreme end → True

II. P does not sit at any of the ends → False (as P sits at the left end of row 2)

III. More than three people are sitting between R and T → True (as there are 4 people between R and T)

Hence, both I and III is the correct answer.

Given

Statements:

A ≥ D = E; M < N = E; A ≤ P

On combining: P ≥ A ≥ D = E = N > M

I. P > D → False (as P ≥ A ≥ D)

II. M < D → True (as D = E = N > M → M < D)

III. E > N → False (as E = N)

Thus, the only conclusion II is true.

Let us check each option:

1. F < G ≥ W < V → G > V (false) and F ≥ W (false).

2. F ≥ G < W = V → G > V (false as V > G) and F ≥ W (false).

3. F < G > W = V → G > V (true) and F ≥ W (false).

4. F = G ≥ W > V → G > V (true) and F ≥ W (true).

Hence, the correct sequence of symbols to satisfy the given condition is “=, ≥, >”.

Given

Statements:

X < M ≤ W; B ≥ L ≥ O; O = X       

On combining: B ≥ L ≥ O = X; W ≥ M > O = X

Conclusions:

I. B > M → False (B ≥ L ≥ O and M > O → relation between B and M cannot be determined.)

II. M ≥ B → False (B ≥ L ≥ O and M > O → relation between B and M cannot be determined.)

III. L < W → False (L ≥ O and W ≥ M > O → relation between L and W can’t be determined.)

None of the conclusions are true but conclusions I and II form a complementary pair.

Thus, either conclusion I or conclusion II is true.

Let us check each option:

1. P > Q = R > S 🡪 P > S

2. P ≤ Q < R = S 🡪 P < S

3. P < Q = R < S 🡪 P < S

4. P < Q = R > S 🡪 Clear relation between P and S cannot be determined.

5. P < Q < R = S 🡪 P < S

Hence, the correct sequence of symbols to satisfy the given condition is “>, =, >”.

Pairs (25, 89 46)

Hence, Three pairs of digits are there in the number '5982416' each of which has as many digits as between them in the number as are there in the general numerical order.

The pattern which follows here is:

Addition of 1 in the positional value of each letter in the cross pattern.

Same pattern will be followed for PHENOMENON:

Hence, the correct answer is OPOFNPOFIQ.

1) A walked 8m towards North from the park and turned right and walked for 8m then took a right turn and walked for 8m to reach the mall then he started walking in the north-east direction and covered a distance of 13m then started walking in the South direction and covered a distance of 12m to reach the bus stand and finally turned left and walked for 6m to reach home.

2. B walked 2m towards the east from the park and turned left and walked 6 m then turned right and walked 2 m. He then turned right and walked 9m and turned left and walked 2 m and again turned right and walked 2 m and finally turned left and walked 2 m to reach office.

By merging all the diagrams, the final diagram will be as follows:

Total distance covered = 8 m + 8 m + 8 m = 24 m

Hence, the total distance covered by A from the park to the mall is 24 m.

1) A walked 8m towards North from the park and turned right and walked for 8m then took a right turn and walked for 8m to reach the mall then he started walking in the north-east direction and covered a distance of 13m then started walking in the South direction and covered a distance of 12m to reach the bus stand and finally turned left and walked for 6m to reach home.

2. B walked 2m towards the east from the park and turned left and walked 6 m then turned right and walked 2 m. He then turned right and walked 9m and turned left and walked 2 m and again turned right and walked 2 m and finally turned left and walked 2 m to reach office.

By merging all the diagrams, the final diagram will be as follows:

By using Pythagoras theorem:

(Perpendicular)2 + (Base)2 = (Hypoteneus)2

(12)2 + (Base)2 = (13)2

144 + (Base)2 = 169

(Base)2 = 169 - 144

(Base)2 = 25

(Base)2 = (5)²

Base = 5 m

Hence, the shortest distance between the mall and the bus stand is 5 m.

1) A walked 8m towards North from the park and turned right and walked for 8m then took a right turn and walked for 8m to reach the mall then he started walking in the north-east direction and covered a distance of 13m then started walking in the South direction and covered a distance of 12m to reach the bus stand and finally turned left and walked for 6m to reach home.

2. B walked 2m towards the east from the park and turned left and walked 6 m then turned right and walked 2 m. He then turned right and walked 9m and turned left and walked 2 m and again turned right and walked 2 m and finally turned left and walked 2 m to reach office.

By merging all the diagrams, the final diagram will be as follows:

Hence, B's office is in the South-East direction with respect to B's initial position.

Person: Ashu, Dishu, Krishu, Mishu, Nishu, Rishu, Prishu, and Vishu. 

Years: 1973, 2001, 1985, 1979, 2004, 1989, 1995, and 1998 

1) The age of Mishu is a prime number.

There are two prime numbers so there will be two possibilities.

2) Two people were born between Mishu and Nishu.

3) The difference between the age of Nishu and Prishu is 6years.

4) The age of Prishu is not divisible by 8.

5) The age of Krishu is divisible by 4 but he is neither the eldest person nor was born adjacent to Nishu

6) Rishu was born just after Krishu.

7) Two were born between Rishu and Ashu.

8. Dishu was born just before Ashu.

Here, Case II eliminates, As Mishu is just before Ashu and in case II Prishu is just above Mishu.

The final arrangement:

Hence, Nishu was born in 1985.

Person: Ashu, Dishu, Krishu, Mishu, Nishu, Rishu, Prishu, and Vishu.

Here, Case II eliminates, As Mishu is just before Ashu and in case II Prishu is just above Mishu.

The final arrangement:

The sum of the ages of Mishu and Rishu (23 + 17) is 40.

The average age is 40/2 = 20.

The age of Krishu is 20years.

Hence, Krishu's age is equal to the average of Mishu and Rishu.

8. Dishu was born just before Ashu.

Here, Case II eliminates, As Mishu is just before Ashu and in case II Prishu is just above Mishu.

The final arrangement:

Hence, Only Krishu's age is the multiple of 5.

Person: Ashu, Dishu, Krishu, Mishu, Nishu, Rishu, Prishu, and Vishu. 

Years: 1973, 2001, 1985, 1979, 2004, 1989, 1995, and 1998

7) Two were born between Rishu and Ashu.

8). Dishu was born just before Ashu.

Here, Case II eliminates, As Mishu is just before Ashu and in case II Prishu is just above Mishu.

The final arrangement:

Hence, Only three people are born between Vishu and Ashu.

1. Neha sits fourth from one of the extreme ends.
2. Five persons are sitting between Neha and Ritu.
3. Riya sits fourth to the right of Ritu and third to the left of Megha.
4. Number of persons sit between Neha and Priya is equal to the number of persons sit between Priya and Riya.
5. Total number of persons are sitting between Neha and Riya is more than four.

 

Case II eliminated because in this case number of persons are sitting between Neha and Riya is not more than 4. 6. Number of persons sits between Neha and Anu is one more than the persons sit between Anu and Priya. 7. Nitu sits seventh to the left of Priya. 8. As many persons sit to the right of Megha is one less than the total number of persons sit to the left of Nitu.

 

 

Hence, One person sits to the left of Nitu.
