Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

H

Why this answer is correct

Six persons: G, H, I, J, K and L.

  1. J is heavier than only two persons.

 ⇒  > ____ > ___ > J > ___ >

  1. K is heavier than only L and lighter than J

⇒ ____> ____ > ___ > J  > K > L

  1. I’s weight is less than only H’s weight.

⇒ H > I > ___ > J  > K > L

As, only G is left. So, G will seat the vacant place.

The final arrangement is H > I > G > J > K > L.

  1. The third heaviest weight is 150 kgs and the fifth heaviest weight is 70 kgs.

G = 150 and K = 70

The final arrangement is

H > I > G > J > K > L.

Hence, H is the heaviest.

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

(ii), (iii) & (iv) 

Why this answer is correct

Six persons: G, H, I, J, K and L.

  1. J is heavier than only two persons.

J > >

  1. K is heavier than only L and lighter than J

J > K > L

  1. I’s weight is less than only H’s weight.

H > I

The arrangement is H > I > G > J > K > L.

  1. The third heaviest weight is 150 kgs and the fifth heaviest weight is 70 kgs.

G = 150 and K = 70

The final arrangement is

H > I > G > J > K > L.

Hence, I, J and G are lighter than H and heavier than K.

Three

Why this answer is correct

Given Series: T R G S O I W P A Q D V E U X Z B Y C H F

According to the question, Consonant should be followed by a Consonant and preceded by a Vowel.

So, Vowel → Consonant → Consonant

T R G S O I W P A Q D V E U X Z B Y C H F

Clearly, three Consonants are there, which are followed by a consonant and preceded by a vowel. (I W P, A Q D, UX Z)

Hence, Three is the correct answer.

Two

Why this answer is correct

Given Series: T R G S O I W P A Q D V E U X Z B Y C H F

According to the question, Vowel should be followed by a Consonant and preceded by a Vowel.

So, Vowel → Vowel → Consonant

T R G S O I W P A Q D V E U X Z B Y C H F

Clearly, only two such vowels are there.

Hence, Two is the correct answer.

Question 786

SBI Clerk 2025• Reasoning Ability

Direction: On the basis of the alphabets given below, answer the following questions:

T R G S O I W P A Q D V E U X Z B Y C H F

If all the vowels are dropped from the above arrangement, which letter will be the fourth letter to the left of the ninth letter from the left end?

    P

  2. BOption (b)

    W

  3. COption (c)

    A

  4. DOption (d)

    I

  5. EOption (e)

    S

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

W

Why this answer is correct

Given Series: T R G S O I W P A Q D V E U X Z B Y C H F

When all the vowels are dropped from the arrangement, i.e. A, E, I, O, U is dropped the remaining series will be:

T R G S W P Q D V X Z B Y C H F

The ninth letter from the left is: T R G S W P Q D V X Z B Y C H F

The fourth letter from the left of V is: T R G S W P Q D V

Hence, W is the correct answer.

Shortcut:

When in the question, both element is given from the same end is given we subtract the number of the elements.

So, 9th Element from left - 4th element from left = 5th element from the left

So, T R G S W P Q D V X Z B Y C H F

Hence, W is the correct answer.

Question 787

SBI Clerk 2025• Reasoning Ability

Direction: On the basis of the alphabets given below, answer the following questions:

    RZP

  5. EOption (e)

    QUX

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (e)E.

QUX

Why this answer is correct

Given Series:  T R G S O I W P A Q D V E U X Z B Y C H F

The pattern followed here is:

P Q D →→ First element is on left side of the second element and third element is on right side of the second element.

S A Y → First element is on left side of the second element and third element is on right side of the second element.

E B Y→ First element is on left side of the second element and third element is on right side of the second element.

W E Y→ First element is on left side of the second element and third element is on right side of the second element.

Same pattern is followed in Option 5: 

QUX → First element is on left side of the second element and third element is on right side of the second element.

Hence, QUX is the correct answer.

Question 788

SBI Clerk 2025• Reasoning Ability

Directions

In the question below are given three statements followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the given statements disregarding commonly known facts.

Statements:

Some Rain is Water.

Only a few Water is Air.

Only Air is wind.

Conclusions:

I. Some Water is not Air.

II. All Air can be Water.

  1. AOption (a)

    Only I follow

  2. BOption (b)

    Only II follow

  3. COption (c)

    Both I and II follow

  4. DOption (d)

    Either I or II follow

  5. EOption (e)

    Neither I nor II follow

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

Only I follow

Why this answer is correct

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

Conclusions:

I. Some Water is not Air → True (It is clear that some Water is Air and the remaining part of the water is not air. So, the conclusion is true)

II. All air can be water → False (In case of ‘Only’ – the part of Air never make any positive relation with any other element other than Wind. So, the conclusion is false).

Hence, Only conclusion I follow.

Additional Information

1) Some part of A is B then if the rest part is negative there is a possibility that some negative is true. 

2) If the rest part is true then the possibility of all positive is true. 

3) Some of the remaining portions may be true or maybe false it will depend on the other statements.

  5. EOption (e)

    Both I and II follows

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (e)E.

Both I and II follows

Why this answer is correct

Solutions:

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

Conclusions:

  1. Some daisy can be Rose ⇒ True ( As there is no relation between daisy and Rose, so it is possible)
  2. Some Lily is not daisy ⇒ True ( As lily which is lotus can never be a daisy, so some lily is not daisy is true)

Hence, Both conclusions I and II follow.

Question 790

SBI Clerk 2025• Reasoning Ability

Direction: Some statements are given followed by some conclusions. You have to consider the statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. You have to decide which of the given conclusions if any, follow from the given statements.

Statements:

All Phone are Laptop.

Only a few Laptop are Stylus.

No Laptop is Tablet.

Conclusions:

I. All Stylus can be Tablet.

II. No Tablet is Phone.

  1. AOption (a)

    If either conclusion I or II follows.

  4. DOption (d)

    If neither conclusion I nor II follows.

  5. EOption (e)

    If both conclusions I and II follow.

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

If only conclusion II follows.

Why this answer is correct

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

Conclusions:

I. All Stylus can be Tablet → False (As some Stylus are Laptop and no Laptop are Tablet, so that Stylus which are Laptop will never be Tablet)

II. No Tablet is Phone → True (As ‘All phones are laptops’ and ‘No Laptop is Tablet’)

Hence, only conclusion II follows.
