Reasoning PYQs

Case Analysis for Sonal:

Decision: Refer to Vice Principal.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given:

1 is opposite to 6,

3 is opposite to 4,

Now, only two number left 2 and 5. 

so, the opposite of 2 is 5.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

Sequence: 3, 7, 11, 15, 19, 22

Observing the numbers in terms of even and odd:

3 → Odd

7 → Odd

11 → Odd

15 → Odd

19 → Odd

22 → Even

All numbers are odd except 22, which is even.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The series consists of two logical patterns, one for the letters and one for the numbers.

Thus, the missing terms are 96 and 150.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

The logic followed here is:

Here letter A, Y, and Z are drawn using 3 lines but letter L has only 2 lines.

Thus letter L is the odd figure.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is a specific positional shift for each letter.

For CAB to EDC

For ONM

Thus, the code for ONM is QQN.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

Situation: You received significantly more change than you were owed at a busy restaurant, and the server is preoccupied.

Ethical Considerations and Option Analysis:

Option 1: Politely get the server's attention, point out the mistake, and return the excess change. - This is the most ethical action because the money belongs to the restaurant and the server. It demonstrates honesty and responsibility while maintaining politeness.

Option 2: Quietly leave the excess money as a tip. - While leaving a tip is generally acceptable, giving the overpayment as a tip is not ethical because it is not a voluntary tip but someone else's money given by mistake.

Option 3: Announce loudly about the mistake. - Publicly announcing the error can embarrass the server and disrupt the restaurant. It is unnecessary and not considered polite or responsible.

Option 4: Keep the extra change and leave. - This is unethical as it involves taking money that does not belong to you, even if the server is busy.

Thus,  Politely get the server's attention and return the excess change.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The number of the square of the given figure are:

Thus, The number of the square are 14.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

Gun, Spoon, Knife, Sword

• Gun, Knife, and Sword are all weapons.
• Spoon is a kitchen utensil and not a weapon.

Thus,  The word that is different from the rest is Spoon.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Product or effect produced by a cause.

Here,

Fire : Heat → Heat is the effect or product produced by Fire.

Similarly,

Friction : Temperature →  Friction is the cause/source that produces Energy (specifically, converting mechanical kinetic energy into thermal energy/heat).

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Number of side of the figure = number.

For, 

 has 3 sides = 3.

Similarly,

 has 5 sides = 5.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

Hence, the correct answer  is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is that the second number is the product of the square root of the first number and one more than its square root.

Logic: Second number = (√First number) × (√First number + 1).

25 : 30

→ (√25) × (√25 + 1)

→ 5 × (5 + 1)

→ 5 × 6

→ 30 = 30. This holds.

36 : ?

→ (√36) × (√36 + 1)

→ 6 × (6 + 1)

→ 6 × 7

→ 42 = Missing number.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: a × b = c × 2 + 1 = Code.

For, 2 × 3 = 13

⇒ 2 × 3 = 6 × 2 = 12 + 1 = 13.

For, 4 × 5 = 41

⇒ 4 × 5 = 20 × 2 = 40 + 1 = 41.

Similarly,  6 × 7 = ?

⇒ 6 × 7 = 42 × 2 = 84 + 1 = 85.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: All the option has the straight line at the top of the figure except Option 3 has slant line.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Application or method used to test a preceding theoretical statement.

Here,

Theory : Practice → Practice is the application or implementation of a Theory.

Similarly,

Hypothesis : Experiment → Experiment is the method used to test or apply a Hypothesis.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given:

4x + 5y = 34 … (1)

3x - 2y = 14 … (2)

Calculations:

From (1): 4x + 5y = 34

From (2): 3x - 2y = 14

Multiply (1) by 3 ⇒ 12x + 15y = 102

Multiply (2) by 4 ⇒ 12x - 8y = 56

Subtract equations:

(12x + 15y) − (12x − 8y) = 102 − 56

⇒ 23y = 46

⇒ y = 2

Substitute y = 2 into (2):

3x − 2 × 2 = 14

⇒ 3x − 4 = 14

⇒ 3x = 18

⇒ x = 6

Now, x − y = 6 − 2 = 4

∴ x − y = 4

The logic followed here is:

Conclusion:

The most significant difference is in the house number.

Thus,  Different house number

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given:

So, opposite pairs are:

4 → 1

6 → 2

3 → 5

Thus, The opposit of 5 is 3.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given:

Participants = 111

Tournament type = Knockout

Formula used:

In a knockout tournament, each match eliminates exactly 1 player.

Total matches = (Total participants − 1)

Calculation:

⇒ Total matches = 111 − 1 = 110

∴ The total number of matches played = 110
