Reasoning PYQs

The Logic followed here is,

The rule is to move the alphabetically smallest word to the left and the numerically largest number to the right in each step. This process continues until all words are sorted alphabetically and all numbers are in descending order.

Input

Dream 73 Alpha Beta 40 94 20 Code

Step 1: Sorting the words

The words in the input are: Dream, Alpha, Beta, Code.

Arranged alphabetically, they are: Alpha, Beta, Code, Dream.

Step 2: Sorting the numbers

The numbers in the input are: 73, 40, 94, 20.

Arranged in descending order, they are: 94, 73, 40, 20.

Final Arrangement

The final arrangement, with all words sorted alphabetically followed by all numbers in descending order, is:

Alpha Beta Code Dream 94 73 40 20

This final arrangement matches Option 4.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

Thus, the missing term in the series is 95.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

To find the rank from the bottom, the formula is:

Rank from bottom = (Total number of students) - (Rank from top) + 1

Given:

Total number of students = 40

John's rank from the top = 12

So,

Rank from bottom = 40 - 12 + 1

= 28 + 1 = 29

Hence, John's rank from the bottom is 29.

The correct answer is "Option 3".

Given:

A man goes 12 km North,

Turns East and walks 5km,

Turns South and walks 3 km,

Then turns West and walks 5km.

So, he is 9 km from the starting point.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given, 

Aditi walks 18m South from her home to reach a grocery store.

From there, she turns right and walks 12m to reach a bakery.

She then takes a left turn and walks 6m to reach a bookstore.

From the bookstore, she walks 24m North to reach a clinic,

Then turns left and walks 12 m.

Movement of Aditi is,

So, her home is 24 m in east of her final position(clinic).

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

Let the number of girls be G. Boys = 2G.

Total students = 2G + G = 72

3G = 72 → G = 24 (girls)

Boys = 2 × 24 = 48 (boys)

The girl is ranked 12^th, which means there are 11 students ahead of her.

Number of boys ahead of her = 5

Number of girls ahead of her = 11 - 5 = 6

Total girls - (Girls ahead of her + the girl herself)

= 24 - (6 + 1)

= 24 - 7 = 17

Hence, there are 17 girls after her.

The correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is,

For: TEACHER is written as TEACREH,

Similarly, FRIENDS is written as FRIESDN

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given: (4 + 5) * 2 - 3 / 1

Decoding the given information:

 

Now replacing the sign and following the BODMAS Rule, we get:

⇒ (4 * 5) / 2 + 3 - 1

= 20 / 2 + 3 - 1 

⇒ 10 + 3 - 1

= 13 - 1 = 12

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given

Statements:

Some birds are eagles.

All eagles are fierce.

All fierce creatures are predators.

The possible Venn diagram is,

Conclusions:

1. Some birds are fierce - True (Since some birds are eagles, and all eagles are fierce, it logically follows that those specific birds are also fierce.)
2. Some birds are predators - True (From the first conclusion, we know that some birds are fierce. Since all fierce creatures are predators, it logically follows that those birds are also predators.)
3. All predators are fierce - False (The statement says "All fierce creatures are predators", which does not imply that all predators are fierce.)
4. No eagle is a predator - False (Since all eagles are fierce, and all fierce creatures are predators, it means that all eagles are predators. This conclusion is the opposite of the statements.)

So, only (1) and (2) follow.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is the typical order of a project or task:

1. Proposal - This is the initial stage where an idea is formally presented.
2. Approval - The proposal must be formally approved before any work can begin.
3. Planning - After approval, detailed plans are made for the project.
4. Execution - The plan is put into action and the work is carried out.
5. Completion - The final stage where the project is finished.

So, the order would be: '1, 5, 2, 3, 4'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given: (5 + 2) * 3 - 4 / 2

Decoding the given information:

 

Now replacing the symbols and solving using the BODMAS rule, we get:

⇒ (5 * 2) + 3 / 4 - 2

= 10 + 3 / 4 - 2

⇒ 10 + 0.75 - 2

= 10.75 - 2 = 8.75

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Someone is speaking with you, and you strongly disagree with that person.

The best socially intelligent reaction is:

 

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed in the given series is a simple sequence where each step adds one more dot.

The pattern is:

• First shape: 1 dot
• Second shape: 2 dots
• Third shape: 3 dots

Following this pattern, the next shape will have one more dot than the previous one.

So, the next shape will have 3 + 1 = 4 dots.

Therefore, the correct answer is "Shape with 4 dots".

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

Total number of students in the class = 70.

Since the number of Boys = the number of Girls, there are 35 Boys and 35 Girls.

Sakshi is 19^th from the top, which means there are 18 students ahead of her.

Out of the 18 students ahead of her, 10 are girls.

The number of boys ahead of her = 18 (total students ahead) - 10 (girls ahead) = 8 boys.

Total number of boys in the class = 35.

Number of boys behind Sakshi = Total Boys - Boys ahead of Sakshi

= 35 - 8 = 27 boys.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Based on the consistent pattern in the series, the missing term is HK. This corresponds to option 4.

The logic followed here is,

Thus, the missing letter-cluster in the series is JK.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Decoding symbols for Family Tree:

​Let's decode the statement made by P: "Q is the son of my father's only daughter."

The "father's only daughter" of P is P's sister.

Q is the son of P's sister.

According to the given information Family Tree Representation:

The son of one's sister is a nephew.

Thus, Q is the Nephew of P.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1"

The logic followed here is,

Thus, the missing letter-cluster in the series is VIJ.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic applied for the input:

In each step, the smallest number from the remaining sequence is moved to the beginning of the sequence, thus arranging the numbers in ascending order from left to right.

Similarly, applying the same logic to the new input:

Input: 75 25 85 35 15

Step I:

• The smallest number is 15. It is moved to the first position.
• Step I: 15 75 25 85 35

Step II:

• The next smallest number is 25. It is moved to the second position.
• Step II: 15 25 75 85 35

The element at the 3^rd position from the left in Step II is "75".

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is,

Thus, the missing term in the series is 463.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given: Seven people - A, B, C, D, E, F, and G - are sitting in a row.

All are facing north.

C is sitting to the immediate right of D, who is third from the left.

So, 3 people are sitting to the right of C.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
