Reasoning PYQs

Given,

Statement:

Resilience supports recovery from setbacks, but without learning from mistakes, progress may stall.

Conclusions:

I. Resilience alone may not ensure progress. - True (Because, the statement says that resilience supports recovery, but for progress to not stall, you also need to learn from mistakes. This implies that resilience by itself is not enough to ensure progress).

II. Learning from mistakes guarantees recovery. - False (Because, the statement says that resilience supports recovery, but learning from mistakes is linked to progress, not necessarily recovery. The statement does not say that learning from mistakes is what guarantees recovery; it says it is what prevents progress from stalling).

So, Only conclusion I follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

 

Painting, Sketching, and Sculpting are all forms of Fine Arts that involve creating a tangible product.

Whereas,

Dancing is a Performing Art that is a form of expression through movement.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given,

Statement:

Government should provide free education to all children up to the age of 14.

Conclusions:

I. Education is a basic right of every child. - True (Because, the statement that the government 'should provide' free education implies that it is considered a fundamental necessity or right for children, a basic right that the government has a responsibility to fulfill).

II. A large number of children are deprived of basic education. - True (Because, if the government is being advised to provide free education, it suggests that there is a problem that needs to be solved, namely that many children currently lack access to basic education).

So, Both conclusion I and II follow.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given: 35 ÷ 7 - 5 + 20 = ?

Decoding the given information:

 

Now replacing the signs from left to right, we get:

= 35 + 7 × 5 - 20

Following the BODMAS rule, we first perform the multiplication:

= 35 + 7 × 5 - 20

⇒ 35 + 35 - 20

⇒ 70 - 20 = 50

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is,

Thus, the missing letter in the series is P.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

 

38, 57, 76, and 95 are all multiples of 19.

Whereas,

118 is not a multiple of 19 (19 x 6 = 114, 19 x 7 = 133).

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is a pattern of alphabetical shifts: -1, 0, -1.

For LID to KIC:

For CUP:

Thus, the corresponding word for CUP is BUO.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

 

Hyundai, Ford, and Toyota are all well-known companies primarily involved in manufacturing automobiles.

Whereas,

Apple is a multinational technology company that designs, develops, and sells consumer electronics, computer software, and online services.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

 

• Qualities projected in this situation: (Communication, Responsibility, Respect, and Problem-Solving)

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Key PointsChecklist for attempting Situational Judgment Questions:

1. Read the question and options carefully.

2. Look for an option that is optimistic, realistic, and reflects responsible behavior.

3. Do not skip any questions.

4. Eliminate negative or aggressive options and choose the most logical and ethical option among the remaining.

5. Think quickly and be logical.

The logic followed here is:

Thus, the missing term in the series is 79.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The given code language is:           

Thus, 'S' is coded as '3'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

 

• Qualities projected in this situation: (Planning, Discipline, Self-Awareness, and Initiative)

The correct answer is "option(4)".

Key PointsChecklist for attempting Situational Judgment Questions:

1. Read the question and options carefully.

2. Look for an option that is optimistic, realistic, and reflects responsible behavior.

3. Do not skip any questions.

4. Eliminate negative or aggressive options and choose the most logical and ethical option among the remaining.

5. Think quickly and be logical.

The logic followed is an alphabetical shift of +2 for the first letter and -2 for the second letter.

For DC to FA:

For HE:

Thus, the corresponding word for HE is JC.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given,

A car travels 50 km West,

Then turns around and travels 30 km East.

Movement of car is,

So, the car's final position relative to its starting point is 20 km West.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given: 

Seven people - G, H, I, J, K, L, and M are sitting in a straight line facing North.

H is sitting fourth to the left of K.

Only one person sits between M and G.

H sits immediately right of M.

J is to the immediate right of I.

L is not an immediate neighbor of K.

So, L sits at the extreme left end.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given: 

Seven people - P, Q, R, S, T, U, and V-are sitting in a row facing North.

S is fourth to the left of V.

Q is second to the right of V.

Only one person sits between T and S.

P is next to T.

U is to the immediate left of V.

R is not at any extreme end.

So, U is sitting exactly in the middle.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

All numbers, except one, are perfect cubes.

Here,

64 = 4 x 4 x 4 = 4³

125 = 5 x 5 x 5 = 5³

27 = 3 x 3 x 3 = 3³

Whereas,

100 is a perfect square (10 x 10 = 10²), but not a perfect cube.

So, 100 is different from the given options.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given: A student finds the answer key of an upcoming exam by mistake in a professor's office.

Now,

 

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Decoding symbols for Family Tree:

Let's decode the relationships step-by-step:

A is the father of B. C is the son of A. This means A is the father of both B and C, making B and C siblings.

E is the daughter of B. D is the brother of E. This means B is the parent of both D and E, making D and E siblings.

D and E are the children of B, and B is the sibling of C.

According to the given information Family Tree Representation:

Thus, C is the Uncle of D.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2"

Given

Statements:

All Dogs are Mammals.

All Mammals are Animals.

Some Animals are Pets.

Possible venn diagram is,

Conclusions:

1. All Dogs are Animals - True (Because if all dogs belong to the group of mammals, and all mammals belong to the group of animals, then all dogs must also be a part of the animal group.)
2. Some Mammals are Pets - False (Because there is no definite connection given between mammals and pets. The statement 'Some Animals are Pets' does not guarantee that these pets are mammals.)
3. Some Dogs are Pets - False (Because there is no definite link between dogs and pets. While dogs are animals, and some animals are pets, the specific group of animals that are pets might not include dogs.)
4. No Dog is a Pet - False (Because there is no definite link between dogs and pets. So this conclusion does not follow.)

So, only conclusion 1 follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
