Reasoning PYQs

The logic followed here is:

Bengaluru: 5^th October

Hyderabad: 15^th October

Chennai which is a perfect cube lying between 5 and 15.

The perfect cubes of numbers starting from 1 are:

1³ = 1, 2³ = 8, 3³ = 27, 4³ = 64 ...

Among these, the only date between 5 and 15 is 8.

the Chennai event will be on 8^th October.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

House No. 18, Sector 17, ChandIgarh - 160017 ('I' instead of 'i' in word Chandigarh)

House No. 18, Sector i7, Chandigarh - 160017  (i7 instead of 17)

House No. 18, Sector 17, Chandigarh - 160017  (Exactly same)

House No. 18, Sector 17, Chandigerh - 160017 (Spelling mistake in word Chandigarh)

Hence, the correct option is Option (3).

The logic followed here is:

169 = 13²

196 = 14²

225 = 15²

256 = 16²

Next

17² = 289

The missing number in the series is 289.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

9 @ 3 = 12

5 @ 2 = 7

8 @ 1 = 9

the pattern follow is:

@ means: first number + second number

9 + 3 = 12

5 + 2 = 7

8 + 1 = 9

7 @ 4:

7 + 4 = 11

7 @ 4 = 11

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

H = 17, I = 19, J = 21

The letters are increasing by one (H, I, J) and the numbers are increasing by 2 each time (17, 19, 21)

M:

H → 17 I → 19 J → 21 K → 23 L → 25 M → 27

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

The logic followed here is:

1³ = 1, 2³ = 8, 3³ = 27, 4³ = 64, 5³ = 125, 6³ = 216, 7³ = 343

216 = 6³ is perfect cube 

225  Not a cube

243 Not a cube

256 Not a cube

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here is:

Curtain, Pillow, Brain, Mattress

Curtain, Pillow, and Mattress are items used in a bedroom or for sleeping.

Brain is a part of the human body and not a bedroom item.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

The logic followed here is:

Rearrange the letters to form a meaningful seven-letter English word.

Rearranging the letters, we get the word: STORAGE

S → 6, T → 7, O → 4, R → 5, A → 1, G → 3, E → 2

STORAGE is 6745132.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.

The logic followed here is:

BG : DJ

Analyze the pattern for letters:

B →+2  D ,G →+3 J 

F → H (+2) M → P (+3)

FM : HP

the correct answer is Option 4.

The logic followed here is:

10 : 21

10 × 2 + 1 = 21

Apply the same pattern to 12

12 × 2 + 1 = 25

the missing number is 25.

Hence, the correct answer is 25.

The logic followed here is:

Course of Action 1:

Hiring a cybersecurity team directly addresses the problem of data breaches. It is a practical and effective solution.

Course of Action 2:

Shutting down the entire IT infrastructure is an extreme and impractical step. It would stop company operations instead of solving the issue prope

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1 (Only 1 follows).

Fixed Positions (Common in all valid cases):

• HCL = 7^th floor

• Infosys = 1^st floor

• Facebook & Google have one floor between them

• Neither Facebook nor Google adjacent to HCL(so not on 6 or 8)

• Airtel even numbered and not adjacent to 7 (so not on 6 or 8)

Case 1A: Flipkart = 4, Jio = 2

Google → 5 → Floors above = 3

Case 1B: Flipkart = 4, Jio = 2

Google → 3 → Floors above = 5

Case 2A: Flipkart = 5, Jio = 3

Google → 4 → Floors above = 4

Case 2B: Flipkart = 5, Jio = 3

Google → 2 → Floors above = 6

Case 3: Flipkart = 6, Jio = 4

Google → 5 → Floors above = 3

Conclusion

Possible number of floors above Google = 3, 4, 5 or 6

Therefore answer is clearly:

Hence the correct option is Option 1.

Given Statements:

Some stars are planets.

No planet is a comet.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. Some stars are not comets – True

(Because, the stars which are planets cannot be comets, as no planet is a comet.)

II. All comets are planets – False

(Because, the statement clearly says no planet is a comet, so this is not possible.)

So, Only conclusion I follows.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1

Given Statements:

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

 

Conclusions:

I. Some poets are critics – False

(Because, no definite relation is given between Poets and Thinkers. The writers who are thinkers may or may not be poets.)

II. Some writers are critics – True

(Because, some writers are thinkers and all thinkers are critics.)

So, Only conclusion II follows.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

Given words:

Python, Java, C++ and Ruby are programming languages.

HTML is a markup language, not a programming language.

HTML is the odd one out.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

The logical followed here:

1 × 3 = 3

3 × 3 = 9

9 × 3 = 27

The series is multiplied by 3 each time.

27 × 3 = 81

the next number in the series is 81.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here:

M = 13

N = 14  (+1)

P = 16  (+2)

S = 19  (+3)

W = 23  (+4)

The pattern is increasing by +1, +2, +3, +4.

Next increase should be +5.

23 + 5 = 28

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

The logic followed here:

C → B (−1)

H → G (−1)

A → B (+1)

I → H (−1)

R → Q (−1)

The pattern is:

−1, −1, +1, −1, −1

STOOL:

S → R (−1)

T → S (−1)

O → P (+1)

O → N (−1)

L → K (−1)

So, STOOL → RSPNK

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The logic followed here:

First letters:

P → O → N → ?

(Each step −1)

N − 1 = M

Second letters:

L → K → J → ?

(Each step −1)

J − 1 = I

So, the next pair is MI.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The logic followed here:

MAP → 13116

M = 13

A = 1

P = 16

So, MAP → 13 1 16 

Now for LAP:

L = 12

A = 1

P = 16

LAP → 12 1 16 → 12116

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.
