Reasoning PYQs

Given: Five houses (A, B, C, D, and E) are located equidistant from each other in such a way that

B is to the East of A,

D is to the South of B,

C is to the West of D,

and E is to the South of C.

Thus, The direction is A to E is North.

Statements:

Some flowers are buds.

Some flowers are trees.

Conclusions:

The least possible Venn diagram is given:

I. Some trees are buds - False (Because, there is no direct relation is given between trees are buds, so it can be possible only).

II. No tree is a bud - False (Because, there is no direct relation is given between trees are buds, so it can be possible only).

Thus, neither conclusion I nor II follows. 

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given: 7 + 5 ÷ 3 − 12 × 4

Decoding the given information:

 

Now replacing the sign from left to right using BODMAS Rule, we get:

⇒ 7 × 5 - 3 + 12 ÷ 4

⇒ 7 × 5 - 3 + 3

⇒ 35 - 3 + 3

= 38 - 3  = 35

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given: 2 – 55 + 11 × 4 ÷ 18

Required value: 0

According to the question, after interchanging the signs and numbers:

Option 1) + and ÷; 2 and 18

2 – 55 + 11 × 4 ÷ 18 ⇒ 18 – 55 ÷ 11 × 4 + 2

⇒ 18 – 55 ÷ 11 × 4 + 2

⇒ 18 – 5 × 4 + 2

⇒ 18 + 2 – 20

⇒ 20 – 20

⇒ 0

Option  2) × and – ; 4 and 11

2 – 55 + 11 × 4 ÷ 18 ⇒ 2 × 55 + 4 - 11 ÷ 18

⇒ 2 × 55 + 4 - 11 ÷ 18

⇒ 2 × 55 + 4 - 0.61

⇒ 110 + 4 - 0.61

⇒ 114 - 0.61

⇒ 113.39

Option  3) – and ÷; 2 and 4

2 – 55 + 11 × 4 ÷ 18 ⇒ 4 ÷ 55 + 11 × 2 - 18

⇒ 4 ÷ 55 + 11 × 2 - 18

⇒ 0.07 + 11 × 2 - 18

⇒ 0.07 + 22 - 18

⇒ 22.07 - 18

⇒ 4.07

Option  4) + and ÷; 11 and 18 

2 – 55 + 11 × 4 ÷ 18 ⇒ 2 – 55 ÷ 18 × 4 + 11

⇒ 2 – 55 ÷ 18 × 4 + 11

⇒ 2 – 3.05 × 4 + 11

⇒ 2 + 11 – 12.2

⇒ 13 – 12.2

⇒ 0.8

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

Given: Among seven people F, G, H, K, L, M and N, each has a different age. 

1) Only two people are older than M. 

2) Only two people are younger than K.

3)  F is the eldest.

4) The age of K is a multiple of 10. 

5) The youngest is 12 years old.

Here, age is of K will more than 12 years, therefore possible age is K ≥ 20 years. 

6) N is older than L, but younger than H.

7. L is not the youngest. 

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

8) The sum of the ages of the youngest and second oldest person is 42 years.

Second oldest person's age = 42 - youngest person's age → 42 - 12 = 30 years

Thus, according to the final arrangement 15 years can be the possible age of L i.e. more than 12 years less than K's age (≥ 20).

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

(9, 83, 164)

9² + 83 = 164

81 + 83 = 164

164 = 164 (LHS = RHS)

And,

(4, 18, 34)

42 + 18 = 34

16 + 18 = 34

34 = 34 (LHS = RHS)

So, checking each option one by one:

Option 1) (6, 38, 74)

62 + 38 = 74

36 + 38 = 74

74 = 74 (LHS = RHS)

Option 2) (5, 27, 56) 

52 + 27 = 56

25 + 27 = 56

52 ≠ 56 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option 3) (11, 122, 242)

112 + 122 = 242

121 + 122 = 242

243 ≠ 242 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option 4) (13, 167, 334)

132 + 167 = 334

169 + 167 = 334

336 ≠ 334 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Thus, out of all the options '(6, 38, 74)' follows the same logic as given.

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.

Given: Six friends are playing a bottle-spinning game around a circular table, facing the centre. 

1) Rohini is sitting third to the left of Rashmi. 

2) Ravi is sitting second to the right of Rashmi.

3) Rahul is sitting in between Rashmi and Ramesh.

4) Ravi is sitting in between Rohini and Raju.

Thus, according to the final arrangement Rashmi is sitting to the immediate left of Raju.

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

1. Letter element → The letter element shift clockwise and replaced by the next vowel subsequently.

2. Hexagon element → The hexagon element shift clockwise and is alternately shaded.

3. Heart element → The heart element is alternately shaded.

Thus, final series is:

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

Given:

505 – 604 – 217

5 + 0 + 5 = 10

6 + 0 + 4 = 10

2 + 1 + 7 = 10

So, checking each option one by one:

Option 1) 244 – 226 – 262

2 + 4 + 4 = 10

2 + 2 + 6 = 10

2 + 6 + 2 = 10

Option 2) 432 – 513 – 711  

4 + 3 + 2 = 9 ≠ 10

5 + 1 + 3 = 9 ≠ 10

7 + 1 + 1 = 9 ≠ 10

Option 3) 161 – 512 – 710

1 + 6 + 1 = 8 ≠ 10

5 + 1 + 2 = 8 ≠ 10

7 + 1 + 0 = 8 ≠ 10

Option 4) 125 – 223 – 342

1 + 2 + 5 = 7 ≠ 10

2 + 2 + 3 = 7 ≠ 10

3 + 4 + 2 = 9 ≠ 10

Thus, out of all the options '244 – 226 – 262' follows the same logic as given.

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

Given:

12:168

12² + 24 = 168

144 + 24 = 168

168 = 168 (LHS = RHS)

And,

11:145

112 + 24 = 145

121 + 24 = 145

145 = 145 (LHS = RHS)

So, checking each option one by one:

Option 1) 5:61

52 + 24 = 61

25 + 24 = 61

49 ≠ 61 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option 2) 14:172  

142 + 24 = 172

196 + 24 = 172

220 ≠ 172 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option 3) 16:232

162 + 24 = 232

256 + 24 = 232

280 ≠ 232 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option 4) 8:88

82 + 24 = 88

64 + 24 = 88

88 = 88 (LHS = RHS)

Thus, out of all the options '8:88' follows the same logic as given.

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.
