Reasoning PYQs

BODMAS Rule:

Given: 3 * 4 # 2 @ 5

Now replacing the symbol by their meaning, we get:

= 3 + 4 × 2 − 5 

= 3 + 8 − 5 

= 11 − 5 

= 6

Thus, the value of the expression is 6.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Statements: Some keys are locks. Some locks are doors.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. Some keys are doors. - False (There is no definite relation between keys and doors, it can be possible but it is not definite)

II. All locks being keys is a possibility. - True (because, some keys are locks, it implies that all locks being key is a possibility).

Thus, only Conclusion II follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given: 'LION' is coded as '12-9-15-14'.

Similarly,

Thus, 'NOIL' will be coded as '14-15-9-12'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given: 3, 6, 18, 72, 360, ?

The logic followed here is:

Thus, 2160 will come in the place of ?.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given: 5, 9, 27, 31, 94, 97, 292

The logic followed here is:

Thus, '94, 292' is the incorrect combination.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

So, 'O' will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The address given in the problem is,

Plot No. 19, Shivaji Park

Dadar West, Mumbai

Maharashtra 400028

Let's match this address with the given options one by one to figure out which one is exactly the same.

So, the address that is exactly the same as the given address is in option (4).

Hence, the correct option is "Option 4".

Given:

The given statement mentions that the company has decided to switch to renewable energy sources for its operations. This indicates a change toward cleaner and more sustainable energy.

Now, let's evaluate the given inferences:

I. The company aims to reduce its carbon footprint:

This inference is true.

Switching to renewable energy generally helps in reducing carbon emissions, so it is reasonable to infer that the company aims to reduce its carbon footprint.

II. The company's current energy sources are expensive: This inference is not necessarily true.

The statement does not mention anything about the cost of the current energy sources, so we cannot conclude that they are expensive.

Hence, only inference I follows from the given statement.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

So, 'AWW' will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

BODMAS Table: 

Given equation: 15 A 5 B 4 = 35

Now, check each option one by one using BODMAS rule.

Option 1) × , −

⇒ 15 × 5 − 4

⇒ 75 − 4

⇒ 71 ≠ 35

Option 2) ÷ , −

⇒ 15 ÷ 5 − 4

⇒ 3 − 4

⇒ −1 ≠ 35

Option 3) + , ×

⇒ 15 + 5 × 4

⇒ 15 + 20

⇒ 35 

Option 4) ÷ , ×

⇒ 15 ÷ 5 × 4

⇒ 3 × 4

⇒ 12 ≠ 35

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

thus, "4" is the wrong number in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 3".

Given Statement: C < A ≤ T = D ≤ O; G ≤ D < S; T ≥ A

Now,

From C < A ≤ T = D ≤ O

We get:

A ≤ T

T = D

D ≤ O

So, T = D and D ≤ O ⇒ T ≤ O 

Also, since T = D,

D < T is not possible 

Conclusions:

(i) T ≤ O → True

(ii) D < T → False

Here, Only conclusion I is true.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

Option 1) (Lily) → It is a flower.

Option 2) (Lotus) → It is a flower.

Option 3) (Grapes) → It is a fruit.

Option 4) (Jasmine) → It is a flower.

Here, Lily, Lotus and Jasmine are flowers, whereas Grapes is a fruit.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Last 3 digits = First 3 digits + 100

Option 1) 200K300

200 + 100 = 300 

Option 2) 150K250

150 + 100 = 250 

Option 3) 250K350

250 + 100 = 350 

Option 4) 100K250

100 + 100 = 200 ≠ 250 

Hence, the roll number that does not fit the rule is Option 4.

The logic followed here is:

Option 1) Maize → It is a Kharif crop, sown during the monsoon season.

Option 2) Sugarcane → It is generally cultivated as a Kharif crop (a long-duration crop planted mainly during the Kharif season).

Option 3) Cotton → It is a Kharif crop, requiring a warm climate and rainfall.

Option 4) Barley → It is a Rabi crop, sown in winter and harvested in spring.

Among the given crops, Maize, Sugarcane, and Cotton are associated with the Kharif season, whereas Barley is a Rabi crop. Hence, Barley is different from the other three.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Family Chart:

Given: 

A is the son of B.

C is the wife of B.

D is the son of C.

So, A is Brother of D.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Family Chart:

Given: 

A is the father of B.

B is the brother of C.

So, A is Father of C.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

thus, "65" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

Option 1) (Make excuses)

→ This avoids responsibility and does not solve the problem.

Option 2) (Do it wrongly)

→ Completing the task incorrectly can create bigger issues.

Option 3) (Seek help or guidance)

→ This shows responsibility, willingness to learn, and ensures the task is done correctly.

Option 4) (Delay it)

→ Postponing the task may cause inefficiency and affect deadlines.

Here, the most appropriate and professional action is to seek help or guidance.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

thus, "124" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 4".
