Reasoning PYQs

Logic followed here is,

46 × 2 + 5 = 92 + 5 = 97

97 × 2 + 5 = 194 + 5 = 199

199 × 2 + 5 = 398 + 5 = 403

403 × 2 + 5 = 806 + 5 = 811

811 × 2 + 5 = 1622 + 5 = 1627

1627 × 2 + 5 = 3254 + 5 = 3259

3259 × 2 + 5 = 6518 + 5 = 6523

The missing term that completes the series is 46.

The correct answer is "Option 1"

Pattern followed here is,

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 4”.

The logic followed in this pattern is a series of alphabetical shifts for each letter in the cluster.

For 'RF' related to 'TI':

For 'XA' related to 'ZD':

Applying the same logic to 'QC':

Thus, QC is related to SF.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

Pattern followed here is,

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 3”.

The logic followed in this pattern is a combination of alphabetical shifts and opposite letter pairs.

For 'CH' related to 'AS':

For 'TK' related to 'RP':

Applying the same logic to 'NS' to find the cluster related to 'LH':

The opposite letter is determined by the sum of their positional values being 27 (e.g., H(8) + S(19) = 27).

Thus, NS is the letter cluster related to LH.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

The logic followed in this pattern is based on alphabetical shifts between the consecutive letter clusters in each set.

For the set (LW, JQ, HK):

For the set (QE, OY, MS):

Applying the same logic to (VT, TN, RH):

Thus, the letter cluster group (VT, TN, RH) follows the same logic.

Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

Given date: 21 September 2024 is a Thursday.

Target date: 27 April 2025.

We calculate the number of days month-wise from 21 September 2024 to 27 April 2025:

September 2024 (remaining days) = 30 − 21 = 9 days

October 2024 = 31 days

November 2024 = 30 days

December 2024 = 31 days

January 2025 = 31 days

February 2025 = 28 days (Since 2025 is a non-leap year)

March 2025 = 31 days

April 2025 (up to the target date) = 27 days

Total days = 9 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 28 + 31 + 27 = 218 days

Now, calculate the odd days by dividing the total days by 7:

218 ÷ 7 = 31 weeks and 1 day remainder.

Number of odd days = 1

Day on 27 April 2025 = Thursday + 1 day = Friday

Hence, the day on 27 April 2025 will be Friday.

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 2”.

The given date is 25 November 2020, which was a Wednesday.

We need to find the day on 25 March 2021. We calculate the number of days month by month:

November 2020: 30 − 25 = 5 days

December 2020: 31 days

January 2021: 31 days

February 2021: 28 days (as 2021 is a non-leap year)

March 2021: 25 days (up to the target date)

Total number of days = 5 + 31 + 31 + 28 + 25 = 120 days

To find the number of odd days, divide the total days by 7:

120 ÷ 7 = 17 weeks and 1 remainder.

The number of odd days is 1.

Now, add the odd days to the given day:

Day on 25 March 2021 = Wednesday + 1 odd day = Thursday

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 3”.

5 girls A, B, C, D and E are sitting in a row facing north (not necessarily in the same order).

1. Only E is to the left of D.
2. Only C is to the right of A.

B is third from the left end of the row.

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 2”.

Given that there are 6 boys with different ages.

From the clues, we can deduce the following relationships:

1. No one is elder than A.

→ A is the oldest boy. 2. C is elder than D but younger than B.

→ B > C > D

3. D is elder than E.

→ D > E

4. F is younger than E.

→ E > F

Combining all these facts gives the final order from oldest to youngest:

→ A > B > C > D > E > F

Only A is older than B.

Thus, the number of boys whose age is more than B is 1.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

ZA300 : YZ154

WY500 : VX354

 

Similarly,

TQ700 : ? 

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

KPL22 : JOK441

IRO28 : HQN729

Similarly,

? : TKQ625

 

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

The logic followed here is:

Logic: First Number = (Second Number × 2) + 6

For the second pair 282 : 138

⇒ (138 × 2) + 6

⇒ 276 + 6 = 282.

For the third pair 1166 : 580

⇒ (580 × 2) + 6

⇒ 1160 + 6 = 1166.

Applying the same logic to the first pair

? : 991

⇒ (991 × 2) + 6

⇒ 1982 + 6 = 1988.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

ACAI is coded as DCWD →

CHAP is coded as FLWK →

Similarly,

let's find the code for PIER:

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 1”.

The watch is 8 minutes slow at 8:00 AM.

The watch gains 8 seconds every hour.

First, we convert the total lag from minutes into seconds:

Total lag = 8 minutes

Total lag in seconds = 8 × 60 = 480 seconds

Now, we calculate the number of hours required to gain this lag:

Time taken = Total lag in seconds ÷ Gain per hour

Time taken = 480 ÷ 8 = 60 hours

Next, we add 60 hours to the initial time of 8:00 AM:

60 hours = 48 hours + 12 hours

Since 48 hours is exactly 2 days, the time after 48 hours will be 8:00 AM.

Now, add the remaining 12 hours:

8:00 AM + 12 hours = 8:00 PM

Therefore, the watch will show the correct time at 8:00 PM.

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 1”.

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 2”.

The ratio of the present ages of the two students is 5 : 7.

Let their ages be 5x and 7x.

The difference between their ages is given as 8 years.

Sum of difference units = 7x - 5x = 2x = 8

x = 8 ÷ 2 = 4

Present age of the first student = 5 × 4 = 20 years

Present age of the second student = 7 × 4 = 28 years

Similarly, let us find the ages and ratio 7 years ago:

The ratio of their ages 7 years ago = 13 : 21

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 2”.
