Reasoning PYQs

The logic followed here is:

1. First box series →

All the elements shift clockwise.

Center element is replaced by new element subsequently.

2) Second box series →

2^nd column elements shift to the 3^rd column.

2^nd and 3^rd element of third column shift to the 2^nd column diagonally.

Rest of the elements interchange positions.

Thus, the final series is:

Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

(12, 145)

12² + 1 = 145

144 + 1 = 145

145 = 145 (LHS = RHS)

And,

(9, 82)

92 + 1 = 82

81 + 1 = 82

82 = 82 (LHS = RHS)

So, checking each option one by one:

Option 1) (16, 256)

162 + 1 = 256

256 + 1 = 256

257 ≠ 256 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option 2) (14, 197)

142 + 1 = 197

196 + 1 = 197

197 = 197 (LHS = RHS)

Option 3) (22, 483)

222 + 1 = 483

484 + 1 = 483

485 ≠ 483 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option 4) (8, 69)

82 + 1 = 69

64 + 1 = 69

65 ≠ 69 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Thus, out of all the options, '(14, 197)' follows the same logic as given.

Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

​

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

Given series: P _ A A _ _ Z A _V _ _ A _ _

Option 1) VPZZPVAP→ P V A A P Z Z A Z V P V A A P → (It doesn't follow any pattern)

Option 2) ZPVVAPVZ → P Z A A P V Z A V V A P A V Z → (It doesn't follow any pattern)

Option 3) ZVPAPZAV → P Z A A V P Z A A V P Z A A V → (It follows the pattern of: PZAAV - PZAAV - PZAAV)

Option 4) VZAAPVPZ → P V A A Z A Z A A V P V A P Z → (It doesn't follow any pattern)

Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.

The number of triangles in the given figure is shown below:

1) Total triangles = Number of parts × Number of diagonals

= 2 × 1 ⇒ 2

 

2) Total triangles = [Number of parts × (1 + Number of parts)] ÷ 2

= [2 × (1 + 2)] ÷ 2

= [2 × 3] ÷ 2

= 6 ÷ 2

= 3

 

3) As marked there are a total of 3 triangles.

Thus, there are total (2 + 3 + 3) = 8 triangles.

Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.

According to the given Venn diagram:

The shaded region represents the total number of persons who have applied for more than one post.

So, the total number of persons who have applied for more than one post = (4 + 6 + 8 + 3) = 21

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

Option 1) 36 – 84

36 × 7 ÷ 3 = 84

252 ÷ 3 = 84

84 = 84 (LHS = RHS)

Option 2)  72 – 168

72 × 7 ÷ 3 = 168

504 ÷ 3 = 168

168 = 168 (LHS = RHS)

Option 3) 66 – 154

66 × 7 ÷ 3 = 154

462 ÷ 3 = 154

154 = 154 (LHS = RHS)

Option 4) 33 – 72

33 × 7 ÷ 3 = 72

231 ÷ 3 = 72

77 ≠ 72 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Thus, out of all the options, '33 – 72' is the odd one out.

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

​CWE : ZFX

And,

PYT : MDI

Similarly,

KIL : ?

Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.

According to the given Venn diagram:

The shaded region represents the total number of men who are doctors.

So, the total number of men who are doctors = (23 + 24) = 47

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

​

Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.

The figure which will complete the pattern is:

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

(34, 47, 62)

34 + 2 = 36 ⇒ Perfect square of 6

47 + 2 = 49 ⇒ Perfect square of 7

62 + 2 = 64 ⇒ Perfect square of 8

And,

(119, 142, 167)

119 + 2 = 121 ⇒ Perfect square of 11

142 + 2 = 144 ⇒ Perfect square of 12

167 + 2 = 169 ⇒ Perfect square of 13

So, checking each option one by one:

Option 1) (27, 38, 51)

27 + 2 = 29 ⇒ Not a perfect square

38 + 2 = 40 ⇒ Not a perfect square

51 + 2 = 53 ⇒ Not a perfect square

Option 2) (48, 65, 82)

48 + 2 = 50 ⇒ Not a perfect square

65 + 2 = 67 ⇒ Not a perfect square

82 + 2 = 84 ⇒ Not a perfect square

Option 3) (64, 78, 99)

64 + 2 = 66 ⇒ Not a perfect square

78 + 2 = 80 ⇒ Not a perfect square

99 + 2 = 111 ⇒ Not a perfect square

Option 4) (79, 98, 119)

79 + 2 = 81 ⇒ Perfect square of 9

98 + 2 = 100 ⇒ Perfect square of 10

119 + 2 = 121 ⇒ Perfect square of 11

Thus, out of all the options, '(79, 98, 119)' follows the same logic as given.

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is :-

From the given two different cubes the adjacent sides are as shown below :

As R is common on both the dices, it is clear that M, A, Y, and S are adjacent to it, and the remaining i.e. Q will be opposite to it.

Opposite pairs:

M → Y

A → S

R → Q

So, the opposite side of "S" will be side "A".

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

According to the question, after interchanging the numbers:

Option 1) 5 and 4

24 ÷ 3 – 4 × 2 + 6 × 5 +12 = 50 ⇒ 24 ÷ 3 – 5 × 2 + 6 × 4 +12 = 50

⇒ 24 ÷ 3 – 5 × 2 + 6 × 4 +12 = 50

⇒ 8 – 5 × 2 + 6 × 4 +12 = 50

⇒ 8 + 24 +12 – 10 = 50

Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is :-

From the given two different cubes the adjacent sides are as shown below :

As R is common on both the dices, it is clear that P, T, Q, and U are adjacent to it, and the remaining i.e. S will be opposite to it.

=

Opposite pairs:

P → Q

T → U

R → S

So, the opposite side of "R" will be side "S".

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Decoding symbols:

Given: P ÷ Q × R − M + T

P ÷ Q → P is the mother of Q.

Q × R → Q is the brother of R.

R − M → R is the sister of M.

M + T → M is the son of T.

Thus, T is P's husband.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4"

Given: 321 – 371 ÷ 22 + 216 × 6 = ?

According to the question, after '+' and '−' are interchanged and '×' and '÷' are interchanged:

321 – 371 ÷ 22 + 216 × 6 = ? ⇒ 321 + 371 × 22 – 216 ÷ 6 = ?

⇒ 321 + 371 × 22 – 216 ÷ 6 = ?

⇒ 321 + 371 × 22 – 36 = ?

⇒ 321 + 8162 – 36 = ?

⇒ 8483 – 36 = ?

⇒ 8447 = ?
