Reasoning PYQs

Given date: 4 July 2008

So, calculating total number of odd days:

 

Total odd days till 4 July 2008 = 2 + 6 + 4 ⇒ 12 ÷ 7 = 5

Thus, "5" is the code for 'Friday'.

Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.

Additional Information 

And,

Note:

Multiple of 400 years i.e 800, 1200, 1600, 2000 will also have 0 odds days.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as shown below :

Conclusions:

I. Some avocadoes are not sweets → Follow (As no potatoes is sweet and all potatoes are avocadoes. As whole potatoes comes in avocadoes and cannot be sweet, therefore it is true)

II. Some dragon fruits are not sweets → Follow (As no potatoes is sweet and some potatoes are dragon fruits. As some part of dragon fruit is common with potatoes which whole comes in avocadoes and cannot be sweet, therefore it is true.)

III. Some avocadoes are sweets → Does not follow (As no potatoes is sweet and all potatoes are avocadoes. So it is possible but not definite)

∴ Here, Both conclusion I and II follow.​

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4"

The logic followed here is:

Given:

11:123

11² = 123

121 + 2 = 123

123 = 123 (LHS = RHS)

And,

6 :38

62 = 38

36 + 2 = 38

38 = 38 (LHS = RHS)

So, checking each option one by one:

Option 1) 10:1001

102 = 1001

100 + 2 = 1001

102 ≠ 38 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option 2) 14:198

142 = 198

196 + 2 = 198

198 = 198 (LHS = RHS)

Option 3) 18:321

182 = 321

324 + 2 = 321

326 ≠ 321 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option 4) 13:169

132 = 169

169 + 2 = 169

171 ≠ 171 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Thus, out of all the options, '14:198' follows the same logic given.

Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is: The power is written between the two digit number.

Given:

186:168

168 → 186 = 186 

So, checking each option one by one:

Option 1) 324:243

243 → 234 ≠ 324 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option 2) 729:793

793 → 739 ≠ 729 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option 3) 237:273

273 → 237 = 237 (LHS = RHS)

Option 4) 486:463

463 → 436 ≠ 486 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Thus, out of all the options, '237:273' follows the same logic given.

Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

1. The triangle element is increasing in the pattern of 1 - 2 - 3 subsequently.

2. The arrow element rotate clockwise.

 

Thus, the final series is:

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

'CITY' is coded as 228

And,

'CRY' is coded as 138

Similarly,

'BOLD' is coded as

Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

35 is related to 1125

35² - 100 = 1125

1225 - 100 = 1125

1125 = 1125 (LHS = RHS)

And,

45 is related to 1925

452 - 100 = 1925

2025 - 100 = 1925

1925 = 1925 (LHS = RHS)

Similarly,

85 is related to

852 - 100 = ?

7225 - 100 = ?

7125 = ?

Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.

Given: D, E, K, W, X, Y and Z scored different marks in an exam. 

1) K scored more than only two people. 

2) E scored less than only one person.

_ > E > _ > _ > K > _ > _

3) W scored more than D but less than both E and Z.

4. D did not score the lowest marks and Z did not score the highest marks.

_ > E > Z > W > K > D > _

5. X scored less than Y. 

Y > E > Z > W > K > D > X

Thus, according to the final arrangement, no person scored more than Y.

Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.

The number of triangles in the given figure is shown below:

 

Thus, as marked there are a total of 12 triangles.

Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer

The logic followed here is:

Given:

2312 - 62 - 12

(2 × 3) (1 × 2) → 62 = 62 (LHS = RHS)

(6 × 2) → 12 = 12 (LHS = RHS)

So, checking each option one by one:

Option 1) 5116 - 56 - 30

(5 × 1) (1 × 6) → 56 = 56 (LHS = RHS)

(5 × 6) → 30 = 30 (LHS = RHS)

Option 2) 2423 - 6 - 14

(2 × 4) (2 × 3) → 86 ≠ 6 (LHS ≠ RHS)

(8 × 6) → 48 ≠ 14 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option 3)3214 - 64 - 26

(3 × 2) (1 × 4) → 64 = 64 (LHS = RHS)

(6 × 4) → 24 ≠ 26 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option 4) 1831 - 83 - 38

(1 × 8) (3 × 1) → 83 ≠ 38 (LHS ≠ RHS)

(8 × 3) → 24 ≠ 38 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Thus, out of all the options, '5116 - 56 - 30' follows the same logic given.

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.

Given : 14 ÷ 3 - 18 × 6 + 28 = ?

According to the question, after '+' and '-' are interchanged and '×' and '÷' are interchanged:

14 ÷ 3 - 18 × 6 + 28 = ? ⇒ 14 × 3 + 18 ÷ 6 - 28 = ?

⇒ 14 × 3 + 18 ÷ 6 - 28 = ?

⇒ 14 × 3 + 3 - 28 = ?

⇒ 42 + 3 - 28 = ?

⇒ 45 - 28 = ?

⇒ 17 = ?

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

Decoding letters:

Given: 16 D 4 A 4 B 2 C 2

16 D 4 A 4 B 2 C 2 ⇒ 16 ÷ 4 + 4 × 2 - 2

⇒ 16 ÷ 4 + 4 × 2 - 2

⇒ 4 + 4 × 2 - 2

⇒ 4 + 8 - 2

⇒ 12 - 2

⇒ 10

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

'OWL' is coded as 150

And,

'CROW' is coded as 236

Similarly,

'ROBIN' is coded as

Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

Boiling: Lukewarm

Boiling and Lukewarm shares a relationship of high heat and mild heat respectively.

Similarly,

Freezing: ?

Freezing and cold shares a relationship of extreme cold and mild cold respectively.

Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.

Given: Ramesh wants to visit his childhood friend’s house. Ramesh’s friend explained his house directions over a text message.

When you step out of your house, you are facing north.

Take a right and walk 3 km, you will see a T-point/junction.

Take a right and walk 2 km. There will be a roundabout with four roads. 

Take the second left from the roundabout and walk 1 km. 

Take a right and walk 3 km. 

Take a right and walk 1 km. You will find my house at the front.

Thus, Ramesh walked (3 km + 2 km) 5 km till the roundabout.

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

Additional Information

Here, specifically "Roundabout" is mentioned, so accordingly counting clockwise from the roundabout - 2^nd left will be in the south direction.

Furthermore, it is also mentioned "There will be a roundabout with four roads.", so 4 roads are of the four direction, therefore at the roundabout when counted clockwise:

Ramesh (Facing south) → 1^st road

1^st left (east) → 2^nd road

2^nd left (south) → 3^rd road

3^rd left (west) → 4^th road

The logic followed here is:

Given:

425-623-713

4 + 2 + 5 = 11

6 + 2 + 3 = 11

7 + 1 + 3 = 11

So, checking each option one by one:

Option 1) 432-513-711

4 + 3 + 2 = 9 ≠ 11

5 + 1 + 3 = 9 ≠ 11

7 + 1 + 1 = 9 ≠ 11

Option 2) 164-542-614

1 + 6 + 4 = 11

5 + 4 + 2 = 11

6 + 1 + 4 = 11

Option 3) 144-225-729

1 + 4 + 4 = 9 ≠ 11

2 + 2 + 5 = 9 ≠ 11

7 + 2 + 9 = 18 ≠ 11

Option 4) 125-223-342

1 + 2 + 5 = 9 ≠ 11

2 + 2 + 3 = 7 ≠ 11

3 + 4 + 2 = 9 ≠ 11

Thus, out of all the options, '164-542-614' follows the same logic given.

Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.
