Reasoning PYQs

Given: Eight persons A, B, C, D, E, F, G, Hare sitting around circular table facing the center.

1) C is third to the right of A.

2) E is second to the left of C.

3) B is opposite A.

4) D is to the immediate right of B.

5. G is an immediate neighbor of F, who is not an immediate neighbor of A.

After positioning D, F and G only one position is left which will be occupied by the only person left i.e. H.

Thus, B is sitting to the immediate left of D.

Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

Option 1) 13-17 → Pair of prime numbers

Option 2) 24-28 → Pair of composite numbers

Option 3) 19-23 → Pair of prime numbers

Option 4) 37-41 → Pair of prime numbers

Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.

Alternate MethodOption 1) 13-17 → Pair of odd numbers

Option 2) 24-28 → Pair of even numbers

Option 3) 19-23 → Pair of odd numbers

Option 4) 37-41 → Pair of odd numbers

According to the question:

Total students → 120

Number of boys is twice that of girls → Boys : Girls = 2 : 1

This means 80 boys and 40 girls are there in the class.

Rohan's rank from the top → 28^th. 

So, 27 students are ahead of Rohan.

Also, there are 18 girls ahead of him

Number of boys ahead of Rohan → 27 - 18 = 9

Number of boys behind Rohan → Total boys - Number of boys ahead of Rohan - Rohan (boy)

→ 80 - 9 - 1 = 70

Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

Option 1) 28 → 2 + 8 = 10 ≠ 9

Option 2) 45 → 4 + 5 = 9

Option 3) 63 → 6 + 3 = 9

Option 4) 36 → 3 + 6 = 9

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.

Alternate MethodOption 1) 28 → Not Divisible by 3

Option 2) 45 → Divisible by 3

Option 3) 63 → Divisible by 3

Option 4) 36 → Divisible by 3

The logic followed here is:

​

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.

The logic applied for the given input is:

1. The rearrangement rule is to move the "alphabetically smallest word" to the leftmost side and the "numerically largest number" to the rightmost side in each step.

2. This process continues until all words are at the left, sorted alphabetically, and all numbers are at the right, sorted in descending order.

Input: Shine 34 12 Gravity 91 20 Echo Bounce Mirror 73 50

Step 1: Bounce Shine 34 12 Gravity 20 Echo Mirror 73 50 91

Step 2: Bounce Echo Shine 34 12 Gravity 20 Mirror 50 73 91

Step 3: Bounce Echo Gravity Shine 34 12 20 Mirror 50 73 91

Step 4: Bounce Echo Gravity Mirror Shine 12 20 34 50 73 91

Thus, word that is placed at the 3^rd position from the left in Step IV is → Gravity

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

40321 : 62543

Similarly,

56120 : ?

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

​

Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

​

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

Option 1) 231 → 2 + 3 + 1 = 6

Option 2) 123 → 1 + 2 + 3 = 6

Option 3) 312 → 3 + 1 + 2 = 6

Option 4) 214 → 2 + 1 + 4 = 7 ≠ 6

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

Alternate MethodOption 1) 231 → Divisible by 3

Option 2) 123 → Divisible by 3

Option 3) 312 → Divisible by 3

Option 4) 214 → Not Divisible by 3

Alternate MethodOption 1) 231 → Contains digits 1, 2 and 3

Option 2) 123 → Contains digits 1, 2 and 3

Option 3) 312 → Contains digits 1, 2 and 3

Option 4) 214 → Contains digits 1, 2 and 4

Given: 

Solid black face ↔ small black square face.

Star face ↔ (inline) blank face.

Circled plus ( ⊕ ) face ↔ (side) blank face.

Figure A 

 Can be made, because all the surfaces are adjacent

Figure B 

 Can not be made, because the Solid black face  and the small black square face are on opposite sides.

Figure C

Can be made, because all the surfaces are adjacent

Figure D

Can not be made, because the Solid black face  and the small black square face are on opposite sides.

Thus, both Dice A and C can be formed.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Edges of 1^st figure - 1 = edges of 2^nd figure, and dot moved to forward.

Figure 1 to figure 2: 

Similarly, 

Figure 3 to figure 4:

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

Apple, Banana, and Mango are all fruits, whereas Carrot is a vegetable.

Therefore, Carrot is different from the rest.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

In this situation, the competing values are: personal ethics against piracy, maintaining harmony in a social gathering, and avoiding unnecessary conflict or embarrassment for the friend. Each option must be evaluated carefully.

1) Publicly refuse to help and explain loudly to your friend and the group why piracy is wrong. – Not suitable, because while it upholds your ethical stance, it embarrasses your friend publicly and creates unnecessary conflict in a casual gathering.

2) Watch the movie, but later, report your friend to copyright authorities. – Not suitable, because it is a disproportionate response, damages the friendship, and involves external punishment rather than personal responsibility.

3) Discreetly excuse yourself from participating in the setup or watching the movie, perhaps by saying you need to make a call or step outside for a moment. – Suitable, because it avoids direct confrontation, allows you to maintain your ethical boundaries, and prevents embarrassment or conflict in the group setting.

4) Go along with it and help connect the laptop, avoiding any discomfort or confrontation. – Not suitable, because it compromises your values by actively supporting piracy, even if it avoids immediate conflict.

Hence, the correct choice is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Number of the edges of first figure + 1 = 2^nd figure.

From figure 1 to figure 2:

From figure 3 to figure 4:

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

 

Thus, the missing term in the series is 289.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

Thus, the missing term in the series is 42.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The mirror image of the given figure is:

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
