Reasoning PYQs

Given word: TREATMENT

Number of letters = 9

Equidistant from both ends means the middle letter (5^th letter)

So, The 5^th letter is T

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The logic followed here is:

So, 'MOQ' will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

So, 'ASI' will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

Option 1) Rose → This is a flower.

Option 2) Guava → This is a fruit.

Option 3) Banana → This is a fruit.

Option 4) Papaya → This is a fruit.

Thus, Rose is different because it is a flower, while the others are all fruits.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

Here, 24 = 4! = 4 × 3 × 2 × 1

120 = 5! = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1

720 = 6!

5040 = 7!

40320 = 8!

thus, "362880" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

thus, "241" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 1".

Given Statement: Smoking is prohibited in public places as per the new law.

Now,

Conclusions:

(i) People can smoke in private spaces → Does not follow (The statement only talks about prohibition in public places; nothing is mentioned about private spaces.)

(ii) Smoking harms public health → Does not follow (The reason for the law is not stated.)

Here, Neither conclusion I nor II follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given Statement:

The Himalayas act as a natural barrier that prevents the monsoon winds from reaching the northern plains, thereby creating a dry region in the rain shadow area.

Now,

Assumptions:

1.The Himalayas prevent monsoon winds from reaching certain areas - Implicit (The statement directly says the Himalayas act as a barrier preventing monsoon winds.)

2.The rain shadow effect leads to dry conditions in specific regions - Implicit (The statement links the rain shadow area with creation of a dry region.)

3.Monsoon winds are the sole cause of rainfall in the northern plains - Not Implicit (The statement does not say monsoon winds are the only cause of rainfall.)

Here, Only assumptions I and II are implicit.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given word: LAPTOP

Arrange the letters in alphabetical order:

A L O P P T

The fourth letter from the left = P

The first letter from the right = T

Now, letters between P and T in the English alphabet = Q, R, S → 3 letters

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

Given word: HARMONIOUS

Arrange the letters in alphabetical order:

A H I M N O O R S U

First letter from the left = A

Fourth letter from the right = O (from U, S, R, O)

Now, letters between A and O in the English alphabet:

B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N → 13 letters

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The address given in the problem is,

Priya Yadav B-22, Rosewood Heights, Sector 15, Gurgaon, 122002

Let's match this address with the given options one by one to figure out which one is exactly the same.

So, the address that is exactly the same as the given address is in option (1).

Hence, the correct option is "option (1)".

The logic followed here is:

BEKQ : YVPJ

Similarly,

CFGL : ?

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: The first word is antonym of the second word.

Here,

Growth : Stagnation → Growth and Stagnation are opposites.

Similarly,

Success : Failure → Success and Failure are opposites.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: All words except one denote quietness or calmness.

Silent → quiet → fits

Muted → soft, quiet → fits

Tranquil → peaceful → fits

Calm → peaceful → fits

Clamorous → noisy, loud → does not fit

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

EXCUSE : CXEESU

Similarly,

ERODES : ?

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Family Chart:

Given: 

1. A’s father’s wife = A’s mother.

2. A’s father’s wife’s only daughter = The only daughter of A’s mother = A’s sister.

So, A is the Brother of B.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given:

Numbers = 1, 8, 27, 64, 121, 216

Formula used:

Perfect cube = n × n × n

Calculation:

1 = 1 × 1 × 1 = 1³

8 = 2 × 2 × 2 = 2³

27 = 3 × 3 × 3 = 3³

64 = 4 × 4 × 4 = 4³

121 = 11 × 11 = 11²

216 = 6 × 6 × 6 = 6³

All numbers except 121 are perfect cubes

∴ The odd number is 121.

Decoding the Symbols:

 

Given: A × B + C

It means:

A is the Mother of B

B is the Husband of C.

 

So,  A is the mother-in-law of C.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Number - letter position = 1

(17, P) → 17 - 16 = 1 

(13, J) → 13 - 10 = 3 (odd one)

(19, R) → 19 - 18 = 1 

(23, V) → 23 - 22 = 1 

So, the odd one is (13, J, !).

Hence, the odd one out is Option 2.

The logic followed here is:

Logic: The operation “@” is defined as a @ b = (a + b)²

2 @ 3 = (2 + 3)² = 5² = 25 

3 @ 4 = (3 + 4)² = 7² = 49 

Similarly, 4 @ 5 = (4 + 5)² = 9² = 81 

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.
