Reasoning PYQs

Given Statement:

F < B < E ≤ C = D ≥ A < G

From statement:

F < B < E ≤ C = D

and A < G

No direct relation between G and F

No direct relation between C and G

Conclusions:

I. G < F → False (no definite relation)

II. C > G → False (no definite relation)

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Identify the city belonging to a different state

Given:

Lucknow → Uttar Pradesh

Varanasi → Uttar Pradesh

Kanpur → Uttar Pradesh

Hyderabad → Telangana

So, three cities are in Uttar Pradesh, while one is in Telangana

Therefore, Hyderabad is different

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

Family Chart:

Given:

A is the wife of B.

C is the son of A.

Therefore, C is the Son  of B.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: (Sum of the digits of the first number)³ = second number.

Now,

For 23 : 125

⇒ (2 + 3)³

⇒ 5³ = 125

Similarly, for 31 : ?

⇒ (3 + 1)³

⇒ 4³ = 64

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given Statements:

Some men are honest.

All honest people are brave.

From statements:

Conclusions:

I. Some men are brave → True (since some men are honest and all honest are brave)

II. All men are brave → False (only some men are honest, not all)

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

Given Statements:

All keys are locks.

Some locks are tools.

No tool is a weapon.

From statements:

Conclusions:

I. Some keys are not weapons → False (no direct link between keys and tools/weapons)

II. All tools are locks → False (only some locks are tools, not all tools are locks)

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Each letter is shifted −3 in the English alphabetical order

Given: MANDELA → JXKABIX

Now, GANDHI → ?

So, GANDHI → DXKAEF

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

The logic followed here is:

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

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2"

The logic followed here is:

thus, "100" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

All the words except RAZ are names of animals:

So, the odd one out is RAZ.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Identify the city that does not match the common pattern

Given:

Patna → State capital (Bihar)

Jaipur → State capital (Rajasthan)

Raipur → State capital (Chhattisgarh)

Chennai → State capital (Tamil Nadu)

Surat → Not a state capital (Gujarat’s capital is Gandhinagar)

So, four are state capitals, while one is not

Therefore, Surat is different

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The logic followed here is:

thus, "66" will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct option is "Option 1".

Given:

Distance = 360 km

Time taken = 4 hours

Speed of the train = Distance ÷ Time

= 360 ÷ 4

= 90 km/h

If speed increases by 10 km/h, new speed = 100 km/h

New time = Distance ÷ New speed

= 360 ÷ 100

= 3.6 hours

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

Logic: Same words have the same code in all sentences.

Given codes:

'The book is interesting' → mo, no, lo, po

'The book is boring' → mo, no, to, po

'The movie is interesting' → do, no, lo, po

Therefore,

'The movie is boring' → do, no, po, to

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The logic followed here is:

Logic: The word is reversed

Given:

NORTH → HTRON

Now, ORTHN → ?

Reverse it → NHTRO

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

Given:

8 pens cost ₹80

Cost of 1 pen = 80 ÷ 8 = ₹10

Number of pens that can be bought for ₹200:

200 ÷ 10 = 20

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

BODMAS Table: 

Given equation: 5 * 3 # 2 @ 4 = ?

Now, if * = +, @ = -, # = ×, then:

5 + 3 × 2 - 4 = ?

5 + 6 - 4 = ?

11 - 4 = 7

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

Given:

First five natural numbers = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Multiply them:

1 × 2 × 3 × 4 × 5

= 2 × 3 × 4 × 5

= 6 × 4 × 5

= 24 × 5

= 120

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Each letter is shifted +1 in the English alphabetical order

Given: WINDOW → XJOEPX

Now, XJOEPX → ?

So, XJOEPX → YKPFQY

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Each letter is shifted −1 in the English alphabetical order

Given: COVERT → BNUFQS

Now,  ABSENT → ?

So, ABSENT → ZARFMS

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.
