Reasoning PYQs

Thus, option 4 is exactly the same as the one given.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

BODMAS Rule:

Given equation: 14 - 7 × 30 ÷ 10 + 4 = 54

Let's check each option one by one

1. • and -

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

⇒ 14 + 7 × 30 ÷ 10 − 4 = 54

⇒ 14 + 7 × 3 − 4 = 54

⇒ 14 + 21 − 4 = 54

⇒ 35 − 4 = 54

⇒ 31 ≠ 54

⇒ LHS ≠ RHS

2. × and -

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

⇒ 14 × 7 − 30 ÷ 10 + 4 = 54

⇒ 14 × 7 − 3 + 4 = 54

⇒ 98 − 3 + 4 = 54

⇒ 102 − 3 = 54

⇒ 99 ≠ 54

⇒ LHS ≠ RHS

3. • and ÷

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

⇒ 14 ÷ 7 × 30 − 10 + 4 = 54

⇒ 2 × 30 − 10 + 4 = 54

⇒ 60 − 10 + 4 = 54

⇒ 64 − 10 = 54

⇒ 54 = 54

⇒ LHS = RHS

4. ÷ and ×

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

⇒ 14 − 7 ÷ 30 × 10 + 4 = 54

⇒ 14 − 0.23 × 10 + 4 = 54

⇒ 14 − 2.3 + 4 = 54

⇒ 18 − 2.3 = 54

⇒ 15.67 ≠ 54

⇒ LHS ≠ RHS

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

BODMAS Rule:

I. 27 ÷ 3 - 18 × 3 + 9 = 24

Interchanging the given two signs + and ÷, we get:

⇒ 27 + 3 − 18 × 3 ÷ 9 = 24

⇒ 27 + 3 − 18 × (1/3) = 24

⇒ 27 + 3 − 6 = 24

⇒ 30 − 6 = 24

⇒ 24 = 24

⇒ LHS = RHS

II. 12 ÷ 8 × 12 + 16 - 7 = 19

Interchanging the given two signs + and ÷, we get:

⇒ 12 + 8 × 12 ÷ 16 − 7 = 19

⇒ 12 + 8 × (3/4) − 7 = 19

⇒ 12 + 6 − 7 = 19

⇒ 18 - 7 = 19

⇒ 11 ≠ 19

⇒ LHS ≠ RHS

Thus, only II is not correct.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Family Chart:

Given: A is the mother of B. B is the sister of C. 

Thus, A is mother of C.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Family Chart:

Given: P is the brother of Q. Q is the sister of R. R is the father of S.

Thus, P is Uncle of S.

 

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given: A student fails to submit assignments repeatedly.

Course of Action:

1. Give extra time and counseling - Follows (This is a reasonable and constructive step. The student may be facing academic or personal difficulties. Providing counseling and some additional time can help understand the reason and improve the student’s performance.) 2. Suspend the student - Does not follow (This is a very strict action and should usually be taken only after other corrective measures fail. Immediate suspension without trying to help the student first may not be appropriate.)

Thus, only 1 follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The position and positional values or English Alphabets are:

Given: P1*, Q2*, R3*, S4*, T5*, E6*, V7*, W8*, X9*

The logic followed here is:

Thus, E6* is the odd one out.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Statement:

Some pens are pencils. All pencils are stationary. No stationary is electronic.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. Some pens are not electronic. - Follows (Because Some pens are pencils,  All pencils are stationary and No stationary is electronic, which means some pens that are stationary are not electronic.)

II. Some stationary are pens. - Follows (Because Some pens are pencils. All pencils are stationary, which means some stationary are pens.)

Thus, both I and II follow.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given Word: PREACHER

Let's check each option one by one:

1. TEACH → PREACHER → It cannot be formed as T is missing.
2. TOUCH → PREACHER → It cannot be formed as T, O, U is missing.
3. CHAR → PREACHER → It can be formed
4. CREATE → PREACHER → It cannot be formed as T is missing.

Thus, CHAR can be formed using the letters of the word PREACHER.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given: _ABLE, _LIKELY, _BALANCE

Now, let's check each option one by one:

1. IN → INABLE, INLIKELY, INBALANCE

All three words become meaningless.

2. UN → UNABLE, UNLIKELY, UNBALANCE

All three words become meaningful.

3. RE → REABLE, RELIKELY, REBALANCE

All three words become meaningless.

4. DE → DEABLE, DELIKELY, DEBALANCE

All three words become meaningless.

Thus, UN can complete all three words meaningfully.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given:

"check list has been generated" is written as"jo ke al si ha",

"His idea has check" is written as "of al fu ha",

"number in check list" is written as "ha ya go ke".

"His number generated there" is written as "ya si fu xo"

Thus,  'My number has been generated' is written as 'jo si ya al ne'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The position and positional values or English Alphabets are:

Given: ARB, BSC, CTD, DUE, ?

The logic followed here is:

Thus, EVF comes next.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given:

1. Razia Sultana – She was a queen/ruler of the Delhi Sultanate.
2. Rani Durgavati – She was a queen and ruler of Gondwana.
3. Rani Lakshmibai – She was the queen of Jhansi and a warrior ruler.
4. Sarojini Naidu – She was a freedom fighter, poet, and political leader, not a queen.

The first three were women rulers/queens, while Sarojini Naidu was a freedom fighter, poet, and political leader.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The position and positional values or English Alphabets are:

Given: ACE, BDF, CEG, ?

The logic followed here is:

Thus, DFH can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given:

Original price = ₹2000

Discount = 15%

VAT = 10%

Formula used:

Discounted price = MP − Discount

Final price = Discounted price + VAT

Calculation:

Discount = 2000 × 15 ÷ 100 = 300

Price after discount = 2000 − 300 = 1700

VAT = 1700 × 10 ÷ 100 = 170

Final amount = 1700 + 170 = 1870

∴ Net amount paid = ₹1870.

Given: If 9 @ 3 = 108 and 10 @ 2 = 80, what is 7 @ 1?

The logic followed here is:

Logic: a @ b = a × b × 4

9 @ 3 = 108 → 9 × 3 × 4 = 108

10 @ 2 = 80 → 10 × 2 × 4 = 80

Similarly,

7 @ 1? → 7 × 1 × 4 = 28

Thus 7 @ 1 is related to 28.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Situation: While walking to the office, you witness a road accident.

1. Ignore and move ahead

This is irresponsible. In an emergency, ignoring the situation may delay help for the injured person.

2. Call emergency services and inform traffic police

This is the most appropriate and responsible action. Informing emergency services ensures that medical help and authorities arrive quickly.

3. Wait until someone else helps

This shows a lack of responsibility. Immediate action is important in accident situations.

4. Post it on social media

This does not help the victim and may violate privacy. The priority should be assistance, not publicity.

Thus, 'Call emergency services and inform traffic police' is what I will do.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

BODMAS Rule:

Decoding the given information:

Let's check each option one by one: 

1. 6 + 3 - 2 x 1 = 19

After replacing the symbols by their meaning, we get:

⇒ 6 × 3 + 2 - 1 = 19

⇒ 18 + 2 - 1 = 19

⇒ 20 - 1 = 19

⇒ 19 = 19

⇒ LHS = RHS

2. 8 - 4 x 2 + 1 = 10

After replacing the symbols by their meaning, we get:

⇒ 8 + 4 - 2 × 1 = 10

⇒ 8 + 4 - 2 = 10

⇒ 12 - 2 = 10

⇒ 10 = 10

⇒ LHS = RHS

3. 5 + 2 x 4 - 3 = 11

After replacing the symbols by their meaning, we get:

⇒ 5 × 2 - 4 + 3 = 11

⇒ 10 - 4 + 3 = 11

⇒ 13 - 4 = 11

⇒ 9 ≠ 11

⇒ LHS ≠ RHS

4. 10 x 3 - 5 + 2 = 17

After replacing the symbols by their meaning, we get:

⇒ 10 - 3 + 5 × 2 = 17

⇒ 10 - 3 + 10 = 17

⇒ 20 - 3 = 17

⇒ 17 = 17

⇒ LHS = RHS

Thus, equation 3 is incorrect after applying these symbol transformations.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given: You are a nurse in an emergency ward. A patient arrives with severe chest pain. 

1. Call the doctor immediately. - Follows

Reason: Severe chest pain in an emergency ward can indicate a life-threatening condition such as a heart attack (myocardial infarction). In such situations, immediate medical attention is critical. A nurse’s first priority is to ensure that the patient receives urgent medical evaluation and treatment. Therefore, the nurse should alert the doctor immediately so that proper diagnosis and emergency treatment can begin.

2. Check patient's insurance - Does not follows

Reason: Administrative tasks are not a priority during a medical emergency.

3. Fill out admission form - Does not follows

Reason: Documentation can be completed later after the patient is stabilized.

4. Contact the family - Does not follows

Reason: Informing family members is important but not the first step in an emergency.

Thus, 'Call the doctor immediately' is what a Nurse should do first.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given: 144, 121, 100, 81, ?, 49

The logic followed here is:

Thus, 64 will come at the place of question mark.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
