Reasoning PYQs

The position and positional values or English Alphabets are:

The logic followed here is:

Similarly,

So, WORM is written as XPSN.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The position and positional values or English Alphabets are:

Given: CVZ, FTX, IRV, ?

The logic followed here is:

So, LPT comes next.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

1. Economic Indicators → It is a general category, not a specific measure. 2. GDP → Measures total value of goods and services produced in a country. 3. CPI → Measures changes in retail prices (inflation for consumers). 4. WPI → Measures changes in wholesale prices.

Thus, GDP (Gross Domestic Product), CPI (Consumer Price Index), and WPI (Wholesale Price Index) are specific types of economic indicators used to measure economic performance, while, Economic Indicator is a general category, not a specific measure.

So, Economic Indicator is the odd one out.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The position and positional values or English Alphabets are:

Given: BDFH, DFHJ, FHJL, ?

The logic followed here is:

So, HJLN is the next term.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given:

5 machines make 5 widgets in 5 minutes

Required ⇒ Time for 100 machines to make 100 widgets

Formula used:

Machine × Time × Efficiency = Work

Calculation:

5 machines make 5 widgets in 5 minutes

⇒ 1 machine makes 1 widget in 5 minutes

⇒ Production rate of 1 machine = 1 widget in 5 minutes

100 machines working together

⇒ In 5 minutes each machine makes 1 widget

⇒ 100 machines make 100 widgets in 5 minutes

∴ Required time = 5 minutes.

Given: You are a hospital receptionist. A patient in critical condition arrives. 

1. Complete paperwork before calling the doctor → This can delay urgent treatment. In a critical situation, medical help should be provided immediately.
2. Call the doctor and then start paperwork → This is the correct action. The patient’s life and immediate medical attention are the top priority. After alerting the doctor, the paperwork can be completed.
3. Send patient back to get documents → This is unsafe and unethical because it may endanger the patient’s life.
4. Wait for senior approval → Waiting may cause serious delays in emergency treatment.

Thus, 'Call the doctor and then start paperwork' is the correct Course of Action.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

BODMAS Rule:

Decoding the given information:

Given expression: 240 + 60 x 4 - 12 ÷ 3 = ?

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

⇒ 240 − 60 ÷ 4 + 12 × 3 = ?

⇒ 240 − 15 + 12 × 3 = ?

⇒ 240 − 15 + 36 = ?

⇒ 276 - 15 = ?

⇒ 261

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

BODMAS Rule:

Decoding the given information:

1. 10 × 5 ÷ 2 = 13

After replacing the signs we get;

⇒ 10 + 5 − 2 = 13

⇒ 15 − 2 = 13

⇒ 13 = 13

⇒ LHS = RHS

2. 12 + 3 − 6 = 8

After replacing the signs we get;

⇒ 12 × 3 ÷ 6 = 8

⇒ 12 × 0.5 = 8

⇒ 6 ≠ 8

⇒ LHS ≠ RHS

3. 15 ÷ 3 × 5 = 10

After replacing the signs we get;

⇒ 15 − 3 + 5 = 10

⇒ 20 - 5 = 10

⇒ 17 ≠ 10

⇒ LHS ≠ RHS

4. 8 − 4 × 2 = 6

After replacing the signs we get;

⇒ 8 ÷ 4 + 2 = 6

⇒ 2 + 2 = 6

⇒ 4 ≠ 6

⇒ LHS ≠ RHS

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

BODMAS Rule:

Decoding the given information:

Given expression: 10+2-3x1=?

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

⇒ 10 × 2 + 3 − 1 = ?

⇒ 20 + 3 − 1 = ?

⇒ 23 − 1 = ?

⇒ 22 = ?

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given: You're a front-desk officer in a government building and there's a fire alarm.

1. Evacuate everyone and alert authorities → This is the correct and responsible action. In case of a fire alarm, the priority is safety. You should guide people to evacuate the building safely and inform emergency services or the fire department.
2. Keep working till someone tells you → This is unsafe because a fire alarm indicates possible danger, and ignoring it can put lives at risk.
3. Shout at people → Shouting does not help manage the situation effectively. The proper action is to calmly guide people to safety. 4. Turn off the alarm → Turning off the alarm without checking the situation is dangerous because it may delay emergency response.

Thus, When a fire alarm rings, the correct response is to evacuate everyone safely and inform authorities.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given: 120, 99, 80, 63, 48, ?

The logic followed here is:

So, 35 will come at the place of question mark.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Statements: No apple is orange. Some oranges are bananas.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

​Conclusions:

I. Some bananas are not apples. - True (Because No apple is orange. Some oranges are bananas, which means some bananas which are oranges are not apples)

II. No banana is an apple. - False (It can be possible, but it is not definite)

So, only Conclusion I follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The position and positional values or English Alphabets are:

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Letter are coded according to their positional values.

Similarly,

Thus, HISF will be coded as "8-9-19-6".

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The position and positional values or English Alphabets are:

The logic followed here is:

Similarly,

So, TUPOF is coded as UVQPG.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given: 10, 20, 40, 80, 160, _?

The logic followed here is:

So, 320 is the next number.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given word: E L E C T R I C

Vowels removed: E, E, I

Remaining letters in order:

So, the 3^rd letter from the left is 'T'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Sample Address: Flat 3C, White Lily Tower, Rajendra Nagar, Patna, Bihar - 800016

Compare each option with the given Address:

So, the address that exactly matches the Given Address is option 3.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Statement: The interest rates on fixed deposits have been lowered.

Now, let's evaluate the given inferences:

I. Investors may shift to alternative investment options: This inference is true. When returns from fixed deposits reduce, investors naturally look for better-yielding alternatives like mutual funds, stocks, or bonds. This directly follows from the statement. 

II. Fixed deposits are no longer considered safe: This inference is not necessarily true. Lowering of interest rates does not affect the safety or security of fixed deposits. Safety and interest rate are two different aspects. The statement says nothing about fixed deposits becoming unsafe. 

Hence, only inference I follows from the given statement.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given equation: 12 $ 4 & 2 = 50

Let's check each option one by one.

Option 1) $ = ×, & = +

⇒ 12 × 4 + 2 = 50

⇒ 48 + 2 = 50

⇒ 50 = 50

⇒ LHS = RHS 

Option 2) $ = +, & = ×

⇒ 12 + 4 × 2 = 50

⇒ 12 + 8 = 50

⇒ 20 ≠ 50

⇒ LHS ≠ RHS

Option 3) $ = –, & = ×

⇒ 12 – 4 × 2 = 50

⇒ 12 – 8 = 50

⇒ 4 ≠ 50

⇒ LHS ≠ RHS

Option 4) $ = ÷, & = +

⇒ 12 ÷ 4 + 2 = 50

⇒ 3 + 2 = 50

⇒ 5 ≠ 50

⇒ LHS ≠ RHS

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1"$.

The logic followed here is:

So, BUI will replace the question mark in given series.

Hence, The correct answer is "Option 3".
