Reasoning PYQs

Given: A doctor mistakenly discloses patient data. What legal principle is violated?

1. Negligence → Failure to take proper care, but the direct legal breach here is confidentiality.

2. Confidentiality → Protection of private patient information, which is "confidentiality" is the direct legal breach here.

3. Defamation → Making false statements that harm reputation, but the direct legal breach here is confidentiality.

4. Right to dignity → Related to respect and honor, but the direct legal breach here is confidentiality.

Thus, "Confidentiality" is the legal principle which is violated.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 2".

Given series: 8, 27, 64, 125, ?, 343

The logic followed here is:

Thus, 216 will come at the place of question mark.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Statements: 

All dancers are artists.

No artist is lazy.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. No dancer is lazy. - True (As, All dancers are artists and No artist is lazy, which means No dancer is lazy)

II. Some lazy are dancers. - False (As, All dancers are artists and No artist is lazy, which means No dancer is lazy)

Thus, only I follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The position and positional values or English Alphabets are:

The logic followed here is:

Similarly,

Thus, WOC is coded as 23-15-3.Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The position and positional values or English Alphabets are:

The logic followed here is:

Similarly,

Thus, TIDPPM is coded as UOZQQN.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Vowel series: 

(Left) A, E, I, O , U (Right)

Clearly, 'A' is the 5^th vowel from the right in the alphabet.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Thus, option 3 is exactly the same as the one given.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Statements:

I. People are preferring UPI payments over cash.

II. UPI is more convenient and widely accepted.

If UPI is more convenient and widely accepted, it naturally leads to people preferring it over cash.

Statement II provides a reason explaining Statement I.

Thus, II is the cause and I is the effect.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given sequence: f_hk_gh_fg_k

1. g,f,k,h → fghk / fghk / fghk

'fghk' is repeated.

2. g,k,h,f → fghk / kghh / fgfk
3. k,g,f,h → fkhk / gghf / fghk
4. k,g,h,f → fkhk / gghh / fgfk

Thus, 'fghk' is repeated in option 1.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given series: 1, 4, 16, 64, 324

The logic followed here is:

So, 324 is the wrong number in the series.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

BODMAS Rule:

Decoding the given information:

Given equation: 12 × 6 ÷ 3 - 2 + 5 = ?

Now replacing the sign from left to right using BODMAS Rule, we get:

⇒ 12 + 6 - 3 ÷ 2 × 5 = ?

⇒ 12 + 6 - 1.5 × 5 = ?

⇒ 12 + 6 - 7.5 = ?

⇒ 18 - 7.5 = ?

⇒ 10.5 = ?

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

BODMAS Rule:

Let's check each option one by one.

1. × and +

Given: 22 - 4 × 2 ÷ 2 + 6 = 20

Now replacing the sign from left to right using BODMAS Rule, we get:

⇒ 22 - 4 + 2 ÷ 2 × 6 = 20

⇒ 22 - 4 + 1 × 6 = 20

⇒ 22 - 4 + 6 = 20

⇒ 28 - 4 = 20

⇒ 24 ≠ 20

⇒ LHS ≠ RHS

2. - and ÷

Given: 22 - 4 × 2 ÷ 2 + 6 = 20

Now replacing the sign from left to right using BODMAS Rule, we get:

⇒ 22 ÷ 4 × 2 - 2 + 6 = 20

⇒ 5.5 × 2 - 2 + 6 = 20

⇒ 11 - 2 + 6 = 20

⇒ 17 - 2 = 20

⇒ 15 ≠ 20

⇒ LHS ≠ RHS

3. ÷ and -

Given: 22 - 4 × 2 ÷ 2 + 6 = 20

Now replacing the sign from left to right using BODMAS Rule, we get:

⇒ 22 ÷ 4 × 2 - 2 + 6 = 20

⇒ 5.5 × 2 - 2 + 6 = 20

⇒ 11 - 2 + 6 = 20

⇒ 17 - 2 = 20

⇒ 15 ≠ 20

⇒ LHS ≠ RHS

4. + and -

Given: 22 - 4 × 2 ÷ 2 + 6 = 20

Now replacing the sign from left to right using BODMAS Rule, we get:

⇒ 22 + 4 × 2 ÷ 2 - 6 = 20

⇒ 22 + 4 × 1 - 6 = 20

⇒ 22 + 4 - 6 = 20

⇒ 26 - 6 = 20

⇒ 20 = 20

⇒ LHS = RHS

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The pattern given is:

• Initial of the State/UT + digits in a particular pattern
• Example: MH10967 → MH stands for Maharashtra

Now we check the options:

1. MH20987 → MH = Maharashtra
2. UP19021 → UP = Uttar Pradesh
3. GJ10243 → GJ = Gujarat
4. RJ30391 → RJ = Rajasthan

Since UP is the correct abbreviation for Uttar Pradesh, the roll number that is likely from Uttar Pradesh is UP19021.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

1. Apple → Fruit

2. Orange → Fruit

3. Litchi → Fruit

4. Marigold → Flower

Thus, all options except Marigold are fruits, while Marigold is a flower.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Family Chart:

Given: Pointing to a woman, John said, "She is my mother's only daughter."

Clearly, the woman is siter of John.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Family Chart:

Given: In a family of six members A, B, C, D, E and F:

• A and B are a married couple.

• C is the only son of A.

• D is the daughter of B.

• F is the mother of B.

Clearly, F is the grandmother of C.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given series: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, ?, ?

The logic followed here is:

Logic: This is the Fibonacci series.

0 + 1 = 1

1 + 1 = 2

1 + 2 = 3

2 + 3 = 5

3 + 5 = 8

5 + 8 = 13

8 + 13 = 21

13 + 21 = 34

So, 21, 34 comes next.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

1. 289 → 17²
2. 347 → 347 is not a perfect square.
3. 361 → 192
4. 441 → 212

All options except 347 are perfect squares. 

So, 347 is the odd one out.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given: Eight persons Dhruv, Dipak, Khush, Sapna, Sudhir, Vaibhav, Vimal and Vivek on eight different floors of 8-storey building from bottom to top such as ground floor is numbered as 1^st and top floor is numbered as 8^th.

1. Khush lives on 3^rd floor.  2. Vivek lives below Khush's floor.

3. Vaibhav lives on even numbered floor but not on 6^th floor. 4. Vaibhav lives just above Vimal's floor.

5. Sudhir lives two floors above Dipak's floor. Sudhir does not live on topmost floor.

6. Dhruv lives on an even numbered floor but not adjacent to Sudhir's floor. 

This statement is violated in Case I, so it is eliminated.

7. Sapna's floor is not adjacent to Dipak's floor.

This statement is violated in Case II (B), so it is eliminated.

Thus, Khush lives two floors below Sapna's floor.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Family Chart:

Decoding the Symbols:

Given: Z # M $ C & D & E

It means: M is sister of Z, C is husband of M, D is son of C, E is son of D.

Clearly, E is grandson of M.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
