Reasoning PYQs

Given word: JUNGLE

According to the question all the letters in the word given are arranged in English alphabetical order:

Resultant letter-cluster → E G J L N U

The letter which is second from the left end and the one which is third from the right end in the new letter-cluster thus formed:

(Left end) E G J L N U (Right end) → G and L

Thus, the number of letters according to the English alphabetical series between G an L are four i.e. H, I, J and K.

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

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

Thus, as marked there are a total of 10 triangles.

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

OUR : NPTVQS

And,

BIG : ACHJFH

Similarly,

FOR : ?

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

Calcium : Osteomalacia

Deficiency of calcium can lead to the condition Osteomalacia. 

So, checking each option one by one:

Option 1) Stomach : Blindness → Incorrect

Blindness is typically caused by factors like eye conditions or neurological issues, not a deficiency in something directly related to the stomach.

Option 2) Iron : Anaemia → Correct

Deficiency of iron can lead to the condition Anaemia. 

Option 3) Heart : Cardiovascular → Incorrect

Cardiovascular refers to a general term for the heart’s health, but it doesn't describe a deficiency leading to a specific disease.

Option 4) Lungs : Tuberculosis → Incorrect

Tuberculosis is an infection, not a deficiency-related condition as it is caused by bacteria, not by a lack of a nutrient or mineral. 

Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer

The logic followed here is:

17 : 253

17 × 9 + 100 = 253

153 + 100 = 253 

253 = 253 (LHS = RHS)

And,

19 : 271

19 × 9 + 100 = 271

171 + 100 = 271

271 = 271 (LHS = RHS)

So, checking each option one by one:

Option 1) 21 : 289

21 × 9 + 100 = 289

189 + 100 = 289

289 = 289 (LHS = RHS)

Option 2) 23 : 207

23 × 9 + 100 = 207

207 + 100 = 207 

307 ≠ 207 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option 3) 31 : 400

31 × 9 + 100 = 400

279 + 100 = 400

379 ≠ 400 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option 4) 32 : 387

32 × 9 + 100 = 387

288 + 100 = 387

388 ≠ 387 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Thus, out of all the options, '21 : 289' follows the same logic as given.

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.

The image embedded in the given figure is as shown below :

∴ Here, the given figure is embedded in option Figure - 1.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

(66, 57, 48)

66 + 48 = 57 × 2

114 = 114 (LHS = RHS)

And,

(94, 85, 76)

94 + 76 = 85 × 2

170 = 170 (LHS = RHS)

So, checking each option one by one:

Option 1) (85, 77, 64)

85 + 64 = 77 × 2

149 ≠ 154 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option 2) (81, 72, 63)

81 + 63 = 72 × 2

144 = 144 (LHS = RHS)

Option 3) (98, 90, 83)

98 + 83 = 90 × 2

181 ≠ 180 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option 4) (79, 70, 59)

79 + 59 = 70 × 2

138 ≠ 140 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Thus, out of all the options, '(81, 72, 63)' follows the same logic as given.

Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

BRING is coded as '7149182'

And,

SMILE is coded as '51291319'

 

Similarly,

FORGIVE is coded as

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

14 – 196 – 186 – 172

14² = 196 → 196 - 10 = 186 → 186 - 14 = 172 

And,

15 – 225 – 215 – 200

152 = 225 → 225 - 10 = 215 → 215 - 15 = 200

So, checking each option one by one:

Option 1) 9 – 81 – 71 – 62

92 = 81 → 81 - 10 = 71 → 71 - 9 = 62

Option 2) 3 – 9 – 19 – 14

32 = 9 → 9 - 10 = (-1) → (-1) - 3 = (-4) ≠ 14

Option 3) 8 – 64 – 54 – 40

82 = 64 → 64 - 10 = 54 → 54 - 8 = 46 ≠ 40

Option 4) 6 – 36 – 26 – 22

62 = 36 → 36 - 10 = 26 → 26 - 6 = 20 ≠ 22

Thus, out of all the options, '9 – 81 – 71 – 62' follows the same logic as given.

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.

Given series: R F _ G T R _V G _ R F V _ T _ F V G T

Option 1) VFTGR→ R F V G T R FV G T R F V G T R F V G T → (It follows the pattern of: RFVGT - RFVGT - RFVGT - RFVGT)

Option 2) VFTGG → R F V G T R FV G T R F V G T G F V G T→ (It doesn't follow any pattern)

Option 3) VTTGR → R F V G T R TV G T R F V G T R F V G T → (It doesn't follow any pattern)

Option 4) VFVGR → R F V G T R FV G V R F V G T R F V G T → (It doesn't follow any pattern)

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.

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

Conclusions:

I. No page is a notebook → Does not follow (As all pages are diaries, some diaries are books and all books are notebooks. As no direct relation is given between pages and notebooks, therefore it is false.)

II. All pages are notebooks → Does not follow (As all pages are diaries, some diaries are books and all books are notebooks. So it is possible but not definite.)

III. All diaries being notebooks is a possibility → Follow (As some diaries are books and all books are notebooks. As statement restricts whole diaries from being books therefore it is possible and thus is true.)

∴ Here, Only conclusion III follows.​

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given word: BINDER

According to the question,

Thus, according to the final arrangement, two letter's i.e. B and R positions remains unchanged.

Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.

Decoding symbols:

Given: 4 + 3 ÷ 2 ÷ 1 − 5

4 + 3 → 4 is the mother of 3.

3 ÷ 2 → 3 is the father of 2.

2 ÷ 1 → 2 is the father of 1.

1 − 5 → 1 is the brother of 5.

Thus, 4 is 2's paternal grandmother or father’s mother.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2"

The logic followed here is:

1. The bottom shifts diagonally and is flipped vertically.

2. The bottom element is replaced by a new element subsequently.

Thus, the final series is:

Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

'WISK' is related to 'DRHP'

And,

'LENT' is related to 'OVMG'

Similarly,

'BANG' is related to

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

18 – 36 – 72 – 107

18 × 2 = 36

36 × 2 = 72

72 + 35 = 107

And,

15 – 30 – 60 – 95

15 × 2 = 30

30 × 2 = 60

60 + 35 = 95

So, checking each option one by one:

Option 1) 22 – 44 – 88 – 123

22 × 2 = 44

44 × 2 = 88

88 + 35 = 123

Option 2) 25 – 50 – 100 – 125

25 × 2 = 50

50 × 2 = 100

100 + 35 = 135 ≠ 125

Option 3) 11 – 22 – 66 – 101

11 × 2 = 22

22 × 2 = 44 ≠ 66

66 + 35 = 101

Option 4) 30 – 60 – 90 – 115

30 × 2 = 60

60 × 2 = 120 ≠ 90

90 + 35 = 125 ≠ 115

Thus, out of all the options, '22 – 44 – 88 – 123' follows the same logic as given.

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

Given word: 'ENTOMB'

After arranged in alphabetical order:

Now,

There is 'None' alphabet will remain unchanged if each of the letters in the word 'VIRTUAL' is arranged in English alphabetical order.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is :-

From the given three different dices the adjacent sides are as shown below :

As Play is common on both the dices I and III, it is clear that Eat, Cry, Run, and Sleep are adjacent to it, and the remaining i.e. Bath will be opposite to it.

Opposite pairs:

Cry → Sleep

Eat → Run

Play → Bath

So, the opposite side of "Eat" will be side "Run".

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is :-

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

As Y is common on both the dices, it is clear that T, O, B, and L are adjacent to it, and the remaining i.e. V will be opposite to it.

Opposite pairs:

T → B

O → L

Y → V

So, the opposite side of "L" will be side "O".

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".
