Reasoning PYQs

The logic followed here is:

Logic: The operation “#” is defined as a # b = a × b + b

4 # 2 = 4 × 2 + 2 = 10

6 # 3 = 6 × 3 + 3 = 21

Similarly, 8 # 4 = 8 × 4 + 4 = 36

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

Given:

Cost of 4 apples = 4 × 18 = 72

Cost of 2 melons = 2 × 35 = 70

Here, Total cost = 72 + 70 = 142

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

Logic: The pattern is +1,-1,+1,+1,+2.

For, MANGO → NZOHQ

Applying same to PEACH:

So, PEACH → QDBDJ

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The logic followed here is:

For, FLOWER is written as GNQXFS

Similarly, for GARDEN

So, GARDEN will be coded as HCTEFO.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

BODMAS Table: 

Given equation: 7 × 3 ÷ 4 + 20 - 5 = ?

After changing the signs,

⇒ 7 - 3 + 4 ÷ 20 × 5 = ?

⇒ 7 - 3 + 1 = ?

⇒ 8 - 3 = ?

⇒ 5 = ?

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Family Chart:

Given: 

A is the brother of B.

C is the father of A.

D is the brother of C.

E is the son of D.  

So, E is the Cousin of B.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

BODMAS Table: 

Given equation: 10 × 2 − 4 + 8 ÷ 2 = ?

Now, if ‘×’ means ‘−’, ‘−’ means ‘+’, ‘+’ means ‘÷’, and ‘÷’ means ‘×’, then:

⇒ 10 − 2 + 4 ÷ 8 × 2 = ?

⇒ 10 − 2 + 0.5 × 2 = ?

⇒ 10 − 2 + 1 = ?

⇒ 11 − 2 = 9

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

BODMAS Table: 

Given equation: 18 + 6 − 2 × 3 = ?

Now, if ‘+’ means ‘÷’, ‘−’ means ‘×’, ‘×’ means ‘+’, and ‘÷’ means ‘−’, then:

⇒ 18 ÷ 6 × 2 + 3 = ?

⇒ 3 × 2 + 3 = ?

⇒ 6 + 3 = ?

⇒ 9

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given Statements:

No circles are squares.

Some squares are triangles.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. Some triangles are not circles - True (Since some squares are triangles and no square is a circle, those triangles which are squares cannot be circles.)

II. No triangle is a circle - False (Only triangles that are squares are not circles. Other triangles may or may not be circles.)

So, Only conclusion I follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

BODMAS Table: 

Given equation: (5 # 2) @ 3 % 4 = ?

Now, if ‘#’ = ‘+’, ‘@’ = ‘×’, ‘%’ = ‘−’, then:

⇒ (5 + 2) × 3 − 4 = ?

⇒ 7 × 3 − 4 = ?

⇒ 21 − 4 = ?

⇒ 17

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Technology is advancing very rapidly

Words in order:

1. Technology

2. is

3. advancing

4. very

5. rapidly

The 2^nd last word is very.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given: B-104, Orchid Meadows, Bannerghatta Road, Bengaluru, Karnataka - 560076

Option 1) B-104, Orchid Meadows, Bannerghatta Road, Bengaluru, Karnataka - 560077 → Incorrect

Option 2) B-104, Orchid Meadows, Bannerghatta Road, Bengaluru, Karnataka - 560076 → Correct

Option 3) B-104, Orchid Meadows, Bannerghatta Road, Bengaluru, Karnataka - 560078 → Incorrect

Option 4) B-104, Orchid Meadows, Bannerghatta Road, Bengaluru, Karnataka - 560079 → Incorrect

Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.

Given Series:

Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, ?

These are names of Greek letters in order:

1. Alpha

2. Beta

3. Gamma

4. Delta

5. Epsilon

Hence, the missing term is Epsilon.

Hence, the correct option is Option 3

Given series: pq _ st _ qr _ tp _ rst

Option 1) r,p,s,q → pq r st p qr s tp q rst → (It follows the pattern of: pqrst - pqrst - pqrst)

Option 2) p,s,q,r → pq p st s qr q tp r rst → (It doesn't follow any pattern)

Option 3) p,q,s,r → pq p st q qr s tp r rst → (It doesn't follow any pattern)

Option 4) r,p,q,s → pq r st p qr q tp s rst → (It doesn't follow any pattern)

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

Given: A says, "My mother's husband's only son is B."

so, A is the sister of B.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 1"

Given:

1. A is B’s mother

2. C is B’s father

so, C is the husband of A.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 1"

Given Series:

1, 4, 27, 256, ?

Observe the pattern:

1 = 1¹

4 = 2²

27 = 3³

256 = 4⁴

Next term = 5⁵ = 3125

Hence, the correct option is Option 4

Given Series

2, 6, 14, 30, 62, ?

Observe the pattern:

2 × 2 + 2 = 6

6 × 2 + 2 = 14

14 × 2 + 2 = 30

30 × 2 + 2 = 62

 

62 × 2 + 2 = 124 + 2 = 126

Hence, the correct option is Option 1.

Check the pattern:

1. 6 @ 2 = 16 → (6 + 2) × 2 = 8 × 2 = 16 

2) 7 @ 1 = 14 → (7 + 1) × 2 = 8 × 2 = 16  (Given 14)

3. 7 @ 3 = 20 → (7 + 3) × 2 = 10 × 2 = 20 

4. 4 @ 4 = 16 → (4 + 4) × 2 = 8 × 2 = 16 

Only option 2 does not follow the pattern.

Hence, the correct option is Option 2

Assumption I: The price difference is a major barrier to widespread adoption of electric vehicles.

Yes. The statement links high cost with low adoption, so this must be assumed.

Assumption II: Subsidies can make electric vehicles affordable for consumers.

Yes. If subsidies are essential to boost adoption, it assumes they reduce the affordability barrier.

Assumption III: The adoption of electric vehicles will significantly reduce carbon emissions.

No. The statement talks about cost and adoption, not environmental impact.

Hence, the correct option is Option 1
