Reasoning PYQs

For 'XW' related to 'RP':

For 'AE' related to 'UX':

Applying the same logic to 'NY':

Thus, 'NY' is related to 'HR'.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

For the set (NF, QI, TL):

For the set (XO, AR, DU):

Applying the same logic to the options:

Checking (ZA, CD, FG):

The set (ZA, CD, FG) follows the same rule of adding 3 to each consecutive letter positional value.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

Let us check the pairs provided in the options:

1. 1912 and 1923: 1912 is a leap year (divisible by 4), whereas 1923 is an ordinary year. Since their types differ, they cannot have identical calendars.

2. 1917 and 1923: Both are ordinary years. We calculate the sum of odd days starting from 1917 up to the beginning of 1923:

• 1917 (Ordinary Year) = 1 odd day
• 1918 (Ordinary Year) = 1 odd day
• 1919 (Ordinary Year) = 1 odd day
• 1920 (Leap Year) = 2 odd days
• 1921 (Ordinary Year) = 1 odd day
• 1922 (Ordinary Year) = 1 odd day

Total sum of odd days = 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 7 odd days.

Since 7 ÷ 7 = 0 remainder, the 1^st of January for both years falls on the same day of the week. As both are ordinary years, their entire calendars are identical.

3. 1921 and 1925: Both are ordinary years. Total odd days from 1921 to 1924 = 1 (1921) + 1 (1922) + 1 (1923) + 2 (1924) = 5 odd days. This is not a multiple of 7.

4. 1918 and 1924: 1918 is an ordinary year and 1924 is a leap year. Therefore, their calendars cannot be identical.

Therefore, the years 1917 and 1923 have identical calendars.

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 2”.

5 teachers S, G, H, A and B are sitting in a row facing south (not necessarily in the same order).

1. B is to the immediate right of S.
2. A is fourth to the right of G.
3. H is to the left of S. 

S is sitting at third position from the right end of row.

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 1”.

7 boys A, B, C, D, E, F and G are sitting in a row facing north (not necessarily in the same order).

1. Only four boys are to the right of C.
2. A is second to the left of C.
3. E is fifth to the right of D.
4. B is second to the left of G. 

G and E are immediate neighbour of each other.

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 3”.

Given word: VEGETATION

(1) NEGOTIATED → Can not be formed as it requires the letter "D" which is not present in the given word. (2) NEGATIVES → Can not be formed as it requires the letter "S" which is not present in the given word.

(3) VINTAGE → Can be formed as all the letters are present in the given word.

(4) VOTINGS → Can not be formed as it requires the letter "S" which is not present in the given word.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

Given word: ADMINISTRATION

(1) MIND → Can be formed as all the letters are present in the given word. (2) RAIN → Can be formed as all the letters are present in the given word. (3) ROAD → Can be formed as all the letters are present in the given word.

(4) ROYAL → Cannot be formed as the letter "Y" is not present in the given word.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Logic followed here is,

789 - 24 = 765

765 - 21 = 744

744 - 18 = 726

726 - 15 = 711

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 2”.

Logic followed here is,

608 - 16 = 592 

592 - 16 = 576 

576 - 16 = 560

560 - 16 = 544

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 2”.

The logic followed here is,

Thus, the missing term in the series is 4849.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4';

Pattern followed here is,

Similarity,

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 2”.

Pattern followed here is,

Similarly,

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 1”.

PL446 : OK300 → 

KC356 : JB210 →

Similarly,

EZ550 : ?

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

For, KNP80 : NQS280 

For, ADI90 : DGL290

Similarly,

LVY100 : ?

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 1”.

The logic followed here is:

Logic: First Number − 51 = Second Number (or Fourth Number + 51 = Third Number)

For the first pair 7817 : 7766

⇒ 7817 − 51 = 7766

For the third pair 3063 : 3012

⇒ 3063 − 51 = 3012

Applying the same logic to find the third number from the fourth number

? : 4069

⇒ 4069 + 51 = 4120

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Second Number = (First Number × 2) − 9

For the second pair 77 : 145

⇒ (77 × 2) − 9

⇒ 154 − 9 = 145.

For the third pair 545 : 1081

⇒ (545 × 2) − 9

⇒ 1090 − 9 = 1081.

Applying the same logic to the first pair

23 : ?

⇒ (23 × 2) − 9

⇒ 46 − 9 = 37.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

VISE is coded as WMQA →

FLIT is coded as GPGP →

Similarly,

let us find the code for TWIN:

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 1”.

The pattern observed is: (Sum of reverse positional values of letters) + 3.

CAST is coded as 68 →

Sum of reverse positional values = 24 + 26 + 8 + 7 = 65

Code = 65 + 3 = 68

TAPES is coded as 77 →

Sum of reverse positional values = 7 + 26 + 11 + 22 + 8 = 74

Code = 74 + 3 = 77

Similarly, let's find the code for LOAD:

Sum of reverse positional values = 15 + 12 + 26 + 23 = 76

Code = 76 + 3 = 79

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 2”.

Pattern followed here is,

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 1”.

1. Calculate the angle J at 2:50:

Here, H = 2 and M = 50.

Angle = |(60 × 2 − 11 × 50) / 2|

Angle = |(120 − 550) / 2|

Angle = |−430 / 2| = 215°

Since 215° is the reflex angle, the smaller interior angle (J) is:

J = 360° − 215° = 145°

2. Calculate the angle K at 7:20:

Here, H = 7 and M = 20.

Angle = |(60 × 7 − 11 × 20) / 2|

Angle = |(420 − 220) / 2|

Angle (K) = 200 / 2 = 100°

3. Find the difference between J and K:

Difference = 145° − 100° = 45°

Hence, the difference between J and K is 45°.

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 4”.
