Reasoning PYQs

Correct option - 4

Given Statements:

Some animals are carnivores. Some carnivores are wild.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. Some animals are wild. - False (Because, no definite relation given between animals and wild, so it can be possible).

II. All wild are animals. - False (Because, no definite relation given between animals and wild, so it can be possible).

So, neither I nor II follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Correct Option - 1

Given Word: QUARRELSOME

1. AIR → QUARRELSOME → Cannot be formed as 'I' is missing 2. SOME → QUARRELSOME 3. QUARREL → QUARRELSOME 4. LOAM → QUARRELSOME

So, AIR is the word which cannot be formed using the letters of the given word.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given:

6^th term = 48

First term (a) = 1.5

Formula Used:

n^th term of GP = a × r^(n-1)

Calculation:

⇒ 6^th term = a × r^(6-1)

⇒ 48 = 1.5 × r⁵

⇒ r⁵ = 48 / 1.5

⇒ r⁵ = 32

⇒ r = 32^1/5

⇒ r = 2.0

∴ The correct answer is 2.0.

Correct Option - 4

1. Bhagat Singh → Bhagat Singh is a well known freedom fighter of India.
2. Chandrashekhar Azad → Chandrashekhar Azad is a well known freedom fighter of India. 3. Rajguru → Rajguru is a well known freedom fighter of India. 4. Manmohan Singh → Manmohan Singh is a former Prime Minister of India.

All options except Manmohan Singh are freedom fighters of India.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Correct Option - 2

Family Chart:

Given: P is the mother of Q. Q is the sister of R.

P is mother of R.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Correct Option - 2

Given: 

PLANE is coded as 74851.

DOG is coded as 392.

Similarly,

Thus, GOLD is coded as 2943.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given:

√144

³√27

Formula Used:

√x = x^1/2

³√x = x^1/3

Calculation:

⇒ √144 = 144^1/2 = 12

⇒ ³√27 = 27^1/3 = 3

⇒ √144 + ³√27 = 12 + 3 = 15

∴ The correct answer is 15.

Correct Option - 4

Given: If 8 # 2 = 64, 7 # 3 = 343

The logic followed here is:

Logic: a # b = a^b

⇒ 8 # 2 = 64 ⇒ 82 = 64 

⇒ 7 # 3 = 343 ⇒ 73 = 343

Similarly,

⇒ 6 # 2 = 62 = 36

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Correct Option - 1

The position and positional values or English Alphabets are:

The logic followed here is:

Similarly,

So, CHAIR will be written as DKBJS.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given:

Cost of each eraser = ₹8

Cost of each folder = ₹25

Number of erasers = 5

Number of folders = 3

Formula Used:

Total bill = (Number of erasers × Cost of each eraser) + (Number of folders × Cost of each folder)

Calculation:

⇒ Total bill = (5 × ₹8) + (3 × ₹25)

⇒ Total bill = ₹40 + ₹75

⇒ Total bill = ₹115

∴ The correct answer is ₹115.

Correct Option - 3

Family Chart:

Given: P ÷ Q - R

It means: P is father of Q, Q is sister of R

Clearly, P is R's father.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Correct Option - 2

BODMAS Table:

1. 12 - 4 × 2 + 1 = 7

After replacing the symbols by their meaning, we get:

⇒ 12 + 4 - 2 ÷ 1 = 7

⇒ 12 + 4 - 2 = 7 

⇒ 16 - 2 = 7 

⇒ 14 ≠ 7

2. 10 + 2 - 4 × 1 = 8

After replacing the symbols by their meaning, we get:

⇒ 10 ÷ 2 + 4 - 1 = 8

⇒ 5 + 4 - 1 = 8

⇒ 9 - 1 = 8

⇒ 8 = 8

3. 16 ÷ 4 + 2 - 2 = 10

After replacing the symbols by their meaning, we get:

⇒ 16 × 4 ÷ 2 + 2 = 10

⇒ 16 × 2 + 2 = 10

⇒ 32 + 2 = 10

⇒ 34 ≠ 10

4. 8 × 2 - 2 + 2 = 1

After replacing the symbols by their meaning, we get:

⇒ 8 - 2 ÷ 2 + 2 = 1

⇒ 8 - 1 + 2 = 1

⇒ 10 - 1 = 1

⇒ 9 ≠ 1

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Correct Option - 1

BODMAS Table:

Given: 25 B 5 C 3 D 2 A 4 = ?

After replacing the letters by their meaning, we get:

⇒ 25 ÷ 5 + 3 × 2 - 4 = ?

⇒ 5 + 3 × 2 - 4 = ?

⇒ 5 + 6 - 4 = ?

⇒ 11 - 4 = ?

⇒ 7 = ?

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Correct Option - 1

BODMAS Table:

Given equation: 5 - 2 x 3 + 1

After replacing the symbols by their meaning, we get:

= 5 ^ 2 - 3 × 1

=  5² - 3 × 1

= 25 - 3 × 1

= 25 - 3

= 22

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given:

Sum of numbers: 11 + 40

Multiplier: 5

Formula Used:

Sum = Number 1 + Number 2

Result = Sum × Multiplier

Calculation:

⇒ Sum = 11 + 40

⇒ Sum = 51

⇒ Result = 51 × 5

⇒ Result = 255

∴ The correct answer is 255.

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 3”.

Thus, option 2 is exactly the same as the one given.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Statement I. The bank's net profit increased significantly in the last quarter → Effect (The bank's net profit increased significantly.)

Statement II. The bank implemented cost-cutting measures and improved loan recovery → Cause (The bank implemented cost-cutting measures and improved loan recovery)

II is the cause and I is the effect.

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 2”.

Given equation:

18 + 6 × 4 - 12 ÷ 3 = 17

1) Interchanging + and ×

New equation: 18 × 6 + 4 - 12 ÷ 3

= 18 × 6 + 4 - 12 ÷ 3

= 108 + 4 - 4

= 112 - 4

= 108 ≠ 17 (Incorrect)

2) Interchanging × and ÷

New equation: 18 + 6 ÷ 4 - 12 × 3

= 18 + 6 ÷ 4 - 12 × 3

= 18 + 1.5 - 36

= 19.5 - 36

= -16.5 ≠ 17 (Incorrect)

3) Interchanging + and -

New equation: 18 - 6 × 4 + 12 ÷ 3

= 18 - 6 × 4 + 12 ÷ 3

= 18 - 24 + 4

= -6 + 4

= -2 ≠ 17 (Incorrect)

4) Interchanging - and ÷

New equation: 18 + 6 × 4 ÷ 12 - 3

= 18 + 6 × 4 ÷ 12 - 3

= 18 + 24 ÷ 12 - 3

= 18 + 2 - 3

= 20 - 3

= 17

17 = 17 (Correct)

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given:

Statements:

J > K = L, M ≥ N < K, O < J < P, N > Q > R

Conclusions:

I. P > M

II. N < P

From statements:

P > J > K = L

N < K, M ≥ N ⇒ M may be < or > P (undefined)

N < K < J < P ⇒ N < P

Check Conclusions:

I. P > M ⇒ Cannot determine ⇒ FALSE

II. N < P ⇒ True

∴ Only conclusion II is TRUE
