Reasoning PYQs

Given: Five players (A, B, C, D, and E) are fielding on a cricket ground in such a way that all are equidistant from each other.

B is to the East of A, while C is to the South of A.

D is to the East of C and to the West of E.

Thus, B is to the north west of E.

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

The correct order of words in a logical and meaningful order is:

4. Triangle → Three sided polygon.
5. Square → Four sided polygon.
6. Pentagon → Five sided polygon.
7. Hexagon → Six sided polygon.
8. Heptagon → Seven sided polygon.

The correct order is '4, 1, 5, 2, 3'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.

The correct order of words in a logical and meaningful order is:

3. Buckingham Palace → A specific landmark.
4. London → The city where Buckingham Palace is located.
5. The United Kingdom → The country in which London is situated.
6. Europe →The continent encompassing the United Kingdom.
7. World → The largest entity that includes all continents.

The correct order is '3, 4, 1, 5, 2'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

Option 1) HEI 

Option 2) VSW 

Option 3) MJL 

Option 4) QNR

Thus, out of all the options, 'MJL' is the odd one out.

Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.

Given: 

1) Q is married to P. 

2) P is the father of M. 

3)  R is the brother of Q.

4) T is the daughter of K. 

5) M is the husband of K.

Thus, Q is T's paternal grandmother or father’s mother.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3"

The logic followed here is:

13 is related to 44

13 × 3 + 5 = 44

39 + 5 = 44

44 = 44 (LHS = RHS)

And,

15 is related to 50

15 × 3 + 5 = 50

45 + 5 = 50

50 = 50 (LHS = RHS)

Similarly,

21 is related to

21 × 3 + 5 = ?

63 + 5 = ?

68 = ?

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

1. First box series →

The corner elements of the first row interchange positions.

The top row center element is replaced by new element.

The second row elements shift clockwise.

The bottom row elements shift anticlockwise.

2. Second box series →

The center element is replaced by new element.

The rest of the elements shift clockwise.

Thus, final series is:

Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.

Given: Six students (Ritu, Vinayak, Arnab, Maya, Fathima and Ankur) are sitting around a circular table facing the centre.

1) Arnab is sitting second to the left of Fathima. 

2) Fathima is sitting second to the left of Vinayak. 

3) Ritu is an immediate neighbour of both Vinayak and Arnab.

4. Vinayak is an immediate neighbour of both Ritu and Maya. 

After positioning Maya only one position is left which will be occupied by the only person left i.e. Ankur.

Thus, according to the final arrangement Ankur is the immediate neighbour of both Fathima and Arnab.

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.

The figure which when put in place of '?' will logically complete the pattern is shown below:

Thus, option Figure 4 will logically complete the pattern given.

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

Decoding symbols:

Given: P @ Q # R & S % T

P @ Q → P is the parental grandfather of Q.

 

Q # R → Q is the son of R.

R & S → R is the wife of S.

S % T → S is the brother of T.

Thus, P is the father of T.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3"

The logic followed here is:

42 is related to 36 

(4 + 2)² = 36

(6)2 = 36

36 = 36 (LHS = RHS)

And,

57 is related to 144

(5 + 7)2 = 144

(12)2 = 144

144 = 144 (LHS = RHS)

Similarly,

? is related to 81

Let the two digit number (?) be → pq

(p + q)2 = 81

(p + q) = √81

9 = (p + q)

So, checking each option one by one:

Option 1) 45 → (4 + 5) = 9 

Option 2) 46 → (4 + 6) = 10 ≠ 9

Option 3) 56 → (5 + 6) = 11 ≠ 9

Option 4) 44 → (4 + 4) = 8 ≠ 9

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.

Alternate Method ​

The logic followed here is:

​

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.

Alternate Method

The logic followed here is:

3 : 31

(3)³ + 4 = 31

27 + 4 = 31

31 = 31 (LHS = RHS)

And,

2 : 12

(2)3 + 4 = 12

8 + 4 = 12

12 = 12 (LHS = RHS)

So, checking each option one by one:

Option 1) 5 : 128

(5)3 + 4 = 128

125 + 4 = 128

129 ≠ 128 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option 2) 4 : 65

(4)3 + 4 = 65

64 + 4 = 65

68 ≠ 65 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option 3) 6 : 220

(6)3 + 4 = 220

216 + 4 = 220

220 = 220 (LHS = RHS)

Option 4) 8 : 315

(8)3 + 4 = 315

512 + 4 = 315

516 ≠ 315 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Thus, out of all the options '6 : 220' follows the same logic as given.

Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.

From the given two different cubes the adjacent sides are as shown below :

As P is common on both the dice, it is clear that S, T, R, and Q are adjacent to it, and the remaining i.e., U will be opposite to it.

Opposite pairs:

T → Q

S → R

P → U

So, the opposite side of "S" will be side "R".

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given: 3 ÷ 4 − 5 × 6 + 2 = ?

According to the question, after ‘+’ and ‘÷’are interchanged and ‘×’ and ‘−’ are interchanged:

3 ÷ 4 − 5 × 6 + 2 = ? ⇒ 3 + 4 × 5 - 6 ÷ 2 = ?

⇒ 3 + 4 × 5 - 6 ÷ 2 = ?

⇒ 3 + 4 × 5 - 3 = ?

⇒ 3 + 20 - 3 = ?

⇒ 23 - 3 = ?

⇒ 20 = ?

Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.

Decoding signs:

Given: 70 × 2 – 4 ÷ 60 + 150 = ? 

70 × 2 – 4 ÷ 60 + 150 = ? ⇒ 70 ÷ 2 × 4 + 60 – 150 = ?

⇒ 70 ÷ 2 × 4 + 60 – 150 = ?

⇒ 35 × 4 + 60 – 150 = ?

⇒ 140 + 60 – 150 = ?

⇒ 200 – 150 = ?

⇒ 50 = ?

Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.
