Reasoning PYQs

The position and positional values or English Alphabets are:

Given: MQ, NR, OS, PT, ?

The logic followed here is:

Thus, QU comes next.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given:

'dog cat bird' is coded as 'pqr, stu, vwx'

'bird fish dog' is coded as 'vwx, yz, pqr'

'fish cat lion' is coded as 'yz, stu, abc'

The code for each word is:

dog → pqr

fish → yz

cat → stu

Thus, the code for 'dog fish cat' is 'pqr, yz, stu'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given: You are a judge and a well-known person is being tried in your court. Media pressure is high.

Evaluating each option:

1. Media perception and public opinion - Does not follows (Because, Judicial decisions should not be influenced by media or public pressure.)
2. Legal precedents and personal bias - Does not follows (Because, legal precedents matter, personal bias should never influence a judge.)
3. Ensure justice based on evidence and law - Follows (Because, the fundamental principle of the judiciary—decisions must be based on evidence, facts, and legal provisions.)
4. Consult friends before making judgment - Does not follows (Because, Judicial decisions must be independent and professional.)

Thus, Ensure justice based on evidence and law should guide my decision.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given:

Sum of first 20 odd numbers

Student’s answer = 400

Formula used:

Sum of first n odd numbers = n²

Calculation:

n = 20

⇒ Sum = 20²

⇒ 400

∴ The answer is option 1.

The position and positional values or English Alphabets are:

The logic followed here is:

Similarly,

Thus, JUNGLE will be coded as ITMFKD.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

Vowels are assigned even numbers as:

A = 2, E = 4, I = 6, O = 8, U = 10

Word: FUNDAMENTAL

Vowels in the word:

U, A, E, A

U = 10

A = 2

E = 4

A = 2

Sum of vowel values:

10 + 2 + 4 + 2 = 18

Hence, the correct option is Option 3.

Given Address:

Flat No. 101, Maple Residency, Koregaon Park, Pune, Maharashtra - 411001

Checking each option:

1. Flat No. 101, Maple Residency, Koregaon Park, Pune, Maharashtra - 411002 (Incorrect PIN Code)

2) Flat No. 101, Maple Residency, Koregaon Park, Pune, Maharashtra - 411001 (Exact Match)

3. Flat No. 101, Maple Residency, Koregaon Park, Pune, Maharashtra - 411011 (Incorrect PIN Code)

4. Flat No. 101, Maple Residency, Koregaon Park, Pune, Maharashtra - 410001 (Incorrect PIN Code)

Hence, the correct option is "Option 2".

Given:

Seminars were held daily from 11^th Feb to 18^th Feb 2022.

Raipur – 11^th Feb 2022

Patna – 12^th Feb 2022

Jamshedpur – 13^th Feb 2022

Rourkela – 14^th Feb 2022

Durgapur – 15^th Feb 2022

Warangal – 16^th Feb 2022

Tiruchirappalli – 17^th Feb 2022

Calicut – 18^th Feb 2022

Given that the seminar in Jamshedpur (13^th Feb 2022) was held on Sunday.

So, 13^th Feb 2022 = Sunday

Now counting forward:

14^th Feb – Monday

15^th Feb – Tuesday

16^th Feb – Wednesday

17^th Feb – Thursday

18^th Feb – Friday

Hence, the correct option is Option 3.

Given:

3 @ 5 = 14

Finding the logic:

3 @ 5 = (3 × 3) + 5

= 9 + 5

= 14

Applying the same logic:

4 @ 100 = (4 × 4) + 100

= 16 + 100

= 116

Hence, the correct option is Option 2.

Given:

987 → 24

654 → 15

Finding the logic:

987 → 9 + 8 + 7 = 24

654 → 6 + 5 + 4 = 15

Applying the same logic:

321 → 3 + 2 + 1 = 6

Hence, the correct option is Option 1.

Given Equation:

72 ÷ 6 A 2 × 216 B 24 = 420

Solve the known operations first (BODMAS rule)

Now check the options:

A = − and B = +

12 − 432 + 24

= -420 + 24

= -396 (Not equal to 420)

A = + and B = ×

12 + 432 × 24

= 12 + 10368

= 10380 (Not equal to 420)

A = + and B = −

12 + 432 − 24

= 444 − 24

= 420

A = − and B = ×

12 − 432 × 24

= 12 − 10368

= -10356 (Not equal to 420)

Hence, the correct option is Option 3.

Given,

Kolkata, Darjeeling and Siliguri are cities in West Bengal, whereas Pune is in Maharashtra.

Pune is the odd one out.

Hence, the correct option is Option 4.

Given:

A is the son of C.

C is the wife of D.

Explanation

D is the father of A.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

Given:

Increase in 1^st year = 10%

Increase in 2^nd year = 20%

Explanation:

Let the initial population be 100.

After 1^st year:

100 + 10% of 100 = 100 + 10 = 110

After 2^nd year:

110 + 20% of 110 = 110 + 22 = 132

Total increase = 132 − 100 = 32

Percentage increase = 32%

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

Logic: (1^st number)³ - (1^st number)² = 2^nd number.

Given: 5 : 100

⇒ 5³ - 5² = 100

⇒ 125 - 25 = 100.

Similarly,

6 : ?

⇒ 63 - 62 = ?

⇒ 216 - 36 = 180

Hence, the correct option is Option 3.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as shown below

Conclusions:

I. All engineers are allowed → not follow (As being skilled is a necessary but not sufficient condition for being allowed).

II. No skilled person is unskilled → not follow (As this relies on external definitions not provided in the premises).

Thus, neither I nor II follows.

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 4”.

Statement:

All boxes are bags.

Some bags are blue.

No blue is a plastic

Conclusion I: Some boxes are not plastic.

Some bags are blue and no blue is plastic, but it is not given that those blue bags are boxes. Hence, we cannot definitely conclude that some boxes are not plastic.

Conclusion II: All plastics are bags.

There is no information that plastics are bags. So, this conclusion does not follow.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

Given:

BHABHA = AGZAGZ

Finding the logic:

B → A (−1)

H → G (−1)

A → Z (−1, cyclic)

B → A (−1)

H → G (−1)

A → Z (−1, cyclic)

Each letter is replaced by the previous letter in the English alphabet.

Applying the same logic to RAMAN:

R → Q

A → Z

M → L

A → Z

N → M

RAMAN = QZLZM

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

Given Sequence:

B7, D9, F11, H13, J17

Observing the pattern:

Letters:

B, D, F, H, J → Each letter increases by 2 positions in the alphabet.

Numbers:

7, 9, 11, 13, 17

7 → 9 (+2)

9 → 11 (+2)

11 → 13 (+2)

13 → 15 (+2) should come, but given 17.

So, the number with J should be 15, not 17.

Hence, the pair that does NOT belong to the sequence is Option 4.

Given Series:

1, 8, 27, ?

Observing the pattern:

1 = 1³

8 = 2³

27 = 3³

The pattern is cubes of natural numbers.

Next term = 4³ = 64

Hence, the missing number is 64.
