Reasoning PYQs

Given:

Six persons sit in a circle, all facing outward.

P sits to the immediate right of Q.

R is second to the left of Q.

S is between P and T.

U is opposite S.

Thus, S is to the immediate left of T.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The least possible venn diagram is:

Conclusions:

(1) Some students are honest → True (As, Some students are clever, All clever people are honest. so, Some students are honest holds true)

(2) No student is lazy → False (As, there is no direct relation between)

(3) Some clever people are not lazy → True (As, Some students are clever, No honest person is lazy. so, Some clever people are not lazy is definitely true)

(4) Some honest people are not students → False (As, Some students are clever, All clever people are honest. so, Some honest people are not students is a possibility but not definte)

Thus, Only (1) and (3) follow.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logical order is:

Application (3) — you apply to colleges.

Admission (2) — on selection you receive admission.

College (1) — you join/attend the college.

Result (5) — after exams the results are declared.

Degree (4) — on passing you are awarded the degree.

Thus, the logical flow is Application → Admission → College → Result → Degree. (3, 2, 1, 5, 4)

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logical order is:

Education (2): First, a person gains knowledge/skills.

Application (5): Then they apply for a job.

Interview (4): After application, they appear for an interview.

Employment (3): On success, they get employed.

Income (1): Finally, employment leads to income.

Thus, 2, 5, 4, 3, 1 is the correct order.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

For LIP to OHR:

For JAR:

 

Thus, the corresponding word for JAR is MZT.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

BODMAS Rule:

According to the question, the signs are interchanged as follows:

Now, given the equation: (3 + 4) × 2 − 1 ÷ 5 = ?

After interchanging the specified signs, the new equation is:

(3 × 4) − 2 + 1 ÷ 5 = ?

Perform operations according to BODMAS:

⇒ (3 * 4) − 2 + 1 ÷ 5

⇒ 12 − 2 + 1 ÷ 5

⇒ 12 − 2 + 0.2

⇒ 10 + 0.2

⇒ 10.2

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: All the numbers, except one, are even numbers.

1. 2384: This number is an even number.

2. 1592: This number is an even number.

3. 3756: This number is an even number.

4. 4298: This number is an even number.

5. 3629: This number is an odd number.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given:

Total students in the class = 105.

Boys = 40% of students.

Girls = 60% of students.

Shivani's rank = 30^th from the top.

Number of girls ahead of Shivani = 20.

Find the total number of boys and girls in the class.

Number of girls = 60% of 105 = (60/100) × 105 = 63 girls.

Number of boys = 40% of 105 = (40/100) × 105 = 42 boys.

So, there are 63 girls and 42 boys in the class.

Next, the ranks ahead of Shivani.

The number of students ahead of Shivani

= (Shivani's rank) - 1

= 30 - 1

= 29 students.

We are given that there are 20 girls among these 29 students.

Finally,  find the number of girls behind Shivani:

Number of girls behind her = (Total number of girls) - (Number of girls ahead of her) - 1 (for Shivani herself)

= 63 - 20 - 1

= 43 - 1

= 42 girls.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given:

Five friends - A, B, C, D, and E - sit around a circular table facing the center.

B sits to the immediate right of A.

C is to the immediate right of B.

D is to the immediate left of E. 

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

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The least possible venn diagram is:

Conclusions:

(1) Some vehicles are not trucks → True (As, Some vehicles are bikes, No bike is a truck. so, Some vehicles are not trucks holds true)

(2) No car is a bike → False (As, there is no direct relation between car and bike, so it can be a possibility, but not definite)

(3) Some cars are bikes → False (As, there is no direct relation between car and bike, so it can be a possibility, but not definite)

(4) Some trucks are vehicles → False (As, there is no direct relation between trucks and vehicles, so it can be a possibility but not definite)

Thus, Only (1) follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

Thus, the missing term in the series is 364.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given:

The rule involves moving the alphabetically smallest word to the leftmost side and the numerically largest number to the rightmost side in each step.

Input: Panther 88 33 11 Roar Stripes 44 Animal

Step 1: Animal Panther 33 11 Roar Stripes 44 88

Step 2: Animal Panther 33 11 Roar Stripes 44 88

Step 3: Animal Panther Roar 11 Stripes 33 44 88

Step 4 (Final): Animal Panther Roar Stripes 11 33 44 88

Thus, the first word placed in Step 1 = Animal.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given:

Statement:

You're traveling in a bus and notice smoke coming from the engine area.

In such a situation, safety of passengers is the priority. Panicking or staying seated delays action. The best judgment is to alert others calmly and use the emergency exit to ensure quick evacuation.

Thus, Open the emergency exit and alert others is correct option.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given:

A person walks 10m North, then turns right and walks 5m, then turns right again and walks 10m.

Thus, he is 5 m East of the starting point.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given:

Glacier: Melt

Melt is the action of a glacier.

Similarly,

Volcano:?

Eruption is the action a volcano.

Thus, Volcano: Erupt

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is :

Thus, the missing term in the series is 137.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

For PQR to LMN:

 

For GHI:

 

Thus, the corresponding word for GHI is CDE.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is: 

ROSE : TQSC

 

LION : NKOL

 

CAND : ECNB

 

BEAR : DAWT

This pair follows a different pattern of alphabetical shifts: +2, -4, -4, +2. This is the one that does not belong to the group.

 

TIGER : VKGCP

 

Thus, the word pair that does not belong is BEAR: DAWT .

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1'.

Decoding symbols for Family Tree:

According to the given information Family Tree Representation:

"She is the daughter of the only sister of my father."

The "only sister of my father" is Amit's paternal aunt.

The "daughter of the only sister of my father" is the daughter of Amit's aunt.

Thus, the girl is the Cousin of Amit.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3"

Given:

Statement:

You're leading a group project and one member is not contributing.

Option 1 — Do the work yourself:

This avoids conflict but is unfair and creates imbalance in responsibility. Not a good long-term solution. 

Option 2 — Remove the person from the group:

Too extreme without first trying to resolve the issue. It may also not be your authority to remove them. 

Option 3 — Talk to the member and understand their reasons:

Best decision. Open communication helps identify if the person is facing difficulties (personal, skill-based, or time-related). It also gives them a chance to improve and encourages teamwork. ✅

Option 4 — Complain directly to the teacher without discussion:

Escalation should only happen if discussion fails. 

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
