Reasoning PYQs

Given:

1. Boxer attends the seminar in March.

2. The one who is a Boxer attends the seminar just after the dentist. 3. U is an engineer and attends in a month with 30 days → April or September. 4. The one who is a surgeon attends the seminar just after the one who is an engineer → U which is engineer can not attend the seminar on September.

5.Two persons attend between U and Police Officer → Police Officer is in August.

6. R and Q have three persons between them and are not in March or May.

7. R attend seminar after U. 

 

8. Q and S both are not Police.  9. T attend the seminar after P but before V.  10. S attends the seminar just before the one who is a journalist.

S attend the seminar in May.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Decoding the Symbols:

 

Given:' A & B @ C & D # E'

It means: “B is the son of A, C is the mother of B, D is the son of C, and E is the sister of D.”

 

So, A is the 'Father' of E.

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

Given Statements:

All kids are students.

Some students are athletes.

No athlete is a scholar.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. Some kids may be athletes – True (Because, Kids are a part of Students and some Students are Athletes. So it is possible that some Kids may be Athletes.)

II. No kid is a scholar – False (Because, No Athlete is a Scholar, but there is no direct relation given between Kids and Scholars. Kids who are not Athletes may be Scholars. So it can be possible only.)

So, Only conclusion I follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given word: ADMINISTRATION

Let’s check all the options:

(1) SITUATION

⇒ It can’t be formed as it requires U’s, but ADMINISTRATION has No 'U'.

(2) TRADITION

⇒ It can be formed as all required letters are available.

(3) RATION

⇒ It can be formed as all required letters are available.

(4) STRAIN

⇒ It can be formed as all required letters are available.

So, the answer is "SITUATION".

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Each letter is shifted two positions backward in the English alphabet.

Given, SNAKE → R M Z J D

Now, Z E B R A :

So, ZEBRA → Y D A Q Z

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

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

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: (First number²) + (Second number²) + (First number × Second number)

Given,

3 $ 4

⇒ (3²) + (4²) + (3 × 4)

⇒ 9 + 16 + 12 = 37

And, 4 $ 5

⇒ (4²) + (5²) + (4 × 5)

⇒ 16 + 25 + 20 = 61

Now, 5 $ 6:

⇒ (5²) + (6²) + (5 × 6)

⇒ 25 + 36 + 30 = 91

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".$

Given:

Length of train = 120 meters

Time taken to cross a man = 6 seconds

According to Question:

When a train crosses a man, distance covered = Length of the train

So, Speed = Distance / Time

Speed = 120 / 6

= 20 m/s

Now, convert m/s into km/h

1 m/s = 18/5 km/h

So, 20 × (18/5)

= 4 × 18

= 72 km/h

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The logic followed here is:

thus, "37" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Each letter is shifted one position forward in the English alphabet.

Given, CRANE → D S B O F

Now, D S B O F :

So, DSBOF → E T C P G

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The address given in the problem is,

No. 38, Orchid Residency, Garia, Kolkata, West Bengal - 700084

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 (1).

Hence, the correct option is "option (1)".

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

Now,

Conclusions:

(i) A ≤ O → False (From A ≤ T = D ≥ O, it gives D ≥ O, but no definite relation between A and O. So it cannot be concluded.)

(ii) C < G → True (C < A ≤ T = D and G ≥ D. Since C < D and G ≥ D, it gives C < G.)

Here, Only conclusion II is true.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given Statements:

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

Now,

Conclusions:

(i) P > M → False (From O < J < P and J > K, we get P > K. Also, M ≥ N < K gives M < K.

Since, P > K and M < K, relation between P and M is not definite. So it cannot be concluded.)

(ii) N < P → True (From J > K and O < J < P, we get P > K. Also, N < K, so P > N. Hence, N < P is definitely true.)

Here, Only conclusion I is false.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Family Chart:

Given:

B is the daughter of A.

A is the son of C.

 

So, C is the Grandparent of B.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Family Chart:

Decoding the Symbols:

 

Given: A × B + C

It means:

A is the Mother of B

B is the Brother of C

 

So, A is the mother of C.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given:

Statement:

Road accidents have increased in the city during the last six months.

Action:

1.Traffic police should be instructed to strictly monitor driving rules - Follows (Because, strict monitoring of driving rules can control rash and negligent driving, which is one of the major causes of road accidents. This action directly helps in reducing accidents.)

2.Public should be educated about road safety - Follows (Because, lack of awareness about traffic rules and road safety measures can lead to accidents. Educating the public can improve responsible behavior on roads and help reduce accidents.)

So, Both 1 and 2 follow.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Check the pattern between letters and numbers.

X1 $, Y2$, Z3 $ → letters are in forward alphabetical order (X, Y, Z) and numbers increase (1, 2, 3). 

W4 $ → breaks the pattern because after Z, sequence should not go backward to W. 

Hence, the odd one is W4 $.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".$

Given Statements:

All birds are animals.

Some animals are tigers.

No tiger is a bird.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. Some tigers are birds – False (Because, it is clearly given that No tiger is a bird. So this conclusion directly contradicts the statement.)

II. Some animals are not birds – True (Because, Some animals are tigers and no tiger is a bird. Therefore, those animals which are tigers are definitely not birds.)

So, Only conclusion II follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

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

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given word: PITCHINGS

Let’s check all the options:

(1) HINGS

⇒ It can be formed as all required letters (H, I, N, G, S) are present in PITCHINGS.

(2) HANGS

⇒ It can’t be formed as it requires A, which is not present.

(3) HUNG

⇒ It can’t be formed as it requires U, which is not present.

(4) HECK

⇒ It can’t be formed as it requires E and K, which are not present.

So, the answer is "HINGS".

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.
