Reasoning PYQs

The logic followed here is:

1. Alternately the circle element is shaded.

2. The numerical element shifts in a triangular clockwise direction following the prime number series subsequently.

Thus, the final series is:

Hence, "Option 3 is the correct answer.

Given

Statement:

M ≥ N > O ≥ P = W; X ≥ O > Y

Conclusions:

Conclusion I : M > X → False (As M ≥ N > O ≤ X. So, no relation between M and X can be determined therefore it is definitely false.)

Conclusion II : W < Y → False (As W = N ≤ O > Y. So, no relation between W and Y can be determined therefore it is definitely false.)

Thus, Neither Conclusion I nor II is true.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given: 

Town T is to the south of town U.

Town V is to the east of town T.

Town X is to the north of town V.

Town Y is to the north of town X.

Town Z is to the west of town Y.

Thus, town Z is to the north of town T.

Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.

Given: (87 * 63) * 6 *1 * 5

According to the question, after replace the * signs:

Option 1) + ÷ × =

(87 * 63) * 6 *1 * 5 ⇒ (87 + 63) ÷ 6 × 1 = 5

⇒ (87 + 63) ÷ 6 × 1 = 5

⇒ 150 ÷ 6 × 1 = 5

⇒ 25 × 1 = 5

⇒ 25 ≠ 5 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option  2) - ÷ + =

(87 * 63) * 6 *1 * 5 ⇒ (87 - 63) ÷ 6 +1 = 5

⇒ (87 - 63) ÷ 6 +1 = 5

⇒ 24 ÷ 6 +1 = 5

⇒ 4 +1 = 5

⇒ 5 = 5 (LHS = RHS)

Option  3) ÷ + × =

(87 * 63) * 6 *1 * 5 ⇒ (87 ÷ 63) + 6 × 1 = 5

⇒ (87 ÷ 63) + 6 × 1 = 5

⇒ 1.38 + 6 × 1 = 5

⇒ 1.38 + 6 = 5

⇒ 7.38 ≠ 5 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option  4) × + ÷ =

(87 * 63) * 6 *1 * 5 ⇒ (87 × 63) + 6 ÷ 1 = 5

⇒ (87 × 63) + 6 ÷ 1 = 5

⇒ 5481 + 6 ÷ 1 = 5

⇒ 5481 + 6 = 5

⇒ 5487 ≠ 5 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.

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

Thus, option Figure 2 will logically complete the pattern given.

Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.

Given words: EQUATION, MATHS, WINTER and RAIN

According to the question:

Thus, according to the final arrangement, in all the four words thus formed will have no letter appeared more than once.

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

18 : 325

18² + 1 = 325

324 + 1 = 325

325 = 325 (LHS = RHS)

And,

12 : 145

122 + 1 = 145

144 + 1 = 145

145 = 145 (LHS = RHS)

So, checking each option one by one:

Option 1) 8 : 63

82 + 1 = 63

64 + 1 = 63

65 ≠ 63 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option 2) 16 : 257

162 + 1 = 257

256 + 1 = 257

257 = 257 (LHS = RHS)

Option 3) 15 : 225 

152 + 1 = 225

225 + 1 = 225

226 ≠ 225 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option 4) 9 : 81

92 + 1 = 81

81 + 1 = 81

82 ≠ 81 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Thus, out of all the options, '16 : 257' follows the same logic as given.

Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

Option 1) (12:46)

12 × 4 - 3 = 46

48 - 3 = 46

45 ≠ 46 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option 2) (9:33)

9 × 4 - 3 = 33

36 - 3 = 33

33 = 33 (LHS = RHS)

Option 3) (10:37)

10 × 4 - 3 = 37

40 - 3 = 37

33 = 33 (LHS = RHS)

Option 4) (11:41)

11 × 4 - 3 = 41

44 - 3 = 41

41 = 41 (LHS = RHS)

Thus, out of all the options, '(12:46)' is the odd one out.

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

1. First box series →

1^st row element and 3^rd column element interchange positions.

The rest of the elements shift clockwise. 

2) Second box series → 

1^st column element and 3^rd row element interchange positions.

The rest of the elements shift clockwise. 

Thus, the final series is:

Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

2513 - 20

[(2 + 5 + 1 + 3) - 1] × 2 = 20

(11 - 1) × 2 = 20

10 × 2 = 20

20 = 20 (LHS = RHS)

And,

4213 - 18

[(4 + 2 + 1 + 3) - 1] × 2 = 18

(10 - 1) × 2 = 18

9 × 2 = 18

18 = 18 (LHS = RHS)

So, checking each option one by one:

Option 1) 1462 - 26

[(1 + 4 + 6 + 2) - 1] × 2 = 26

(13 - 1) × 2 = 26

12 × 2 = 26

24 ≠ 26 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option 2) 3122 - 14

[(3 + 1 + 2 + 2) - 1] × 2 = 14

(8 - 1) × 2 = 14

7 × 2 = 14

14 = 14 (LHS = RHS)

Option 3) 2521 - 10 

[(2 + 5 + 2 + 1) - 1] × 2 = 10

(10 - 1) × 2 = 10

9 × 2 = 10

18 ≠ 10 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option 4) 5131 - 22

[(5 + 1 + 3 + 1) - 1] × 2 = 22

(10 - 1) × 2 = 22

9 × 2 = 22

18 ≠ 22 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Thus, out of all the options, '3122 - 14' follows the same logic as given.

Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

'ROAD' is coded as TRCG

And,

'STOP' is coded as UWQS

Similarly,

'BOOK' is coded as

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

Option 1) JNL

Option 2) PUR

Option 3) BFD

Option 4) VZX 

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

Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.

Given: 24 ÷ 3 × 2 + 8 - 18 = 21

According to the question, after replacing the two numbers (not digits) and two signs :

Option 1) 3, 18 and +, ×

24 ÷ 3 × 2 + 8 - 18 = 21 ⇒ 24 ÷ 18 + 2 × 8 - 3 = 21

⇒ 24 ÷ 18 + 2 × 8 - 3 = 21

⇒ 1.33 + 2 × 8 - 3 = 21

⇒ 1.33 + 16 - 3 = 21

⇒ 17.33 - 3 = 21

14.33 ≠ 21 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option  2) 8, 24 and +, ÷

24 ÷ 3 × 2 + 8 - 18 = 21 ⇒ 8 + 3 × 2 ÷ 24 - 18 = 21

 ⇒ 8 + 3 × 2 ÷ 24 - 18 = 21

 ⇒ 8 + 3 × 0.08 - 18 = 21

 ⇒ 8 + 0.24 - 18 = 21

 ⇒ 8.24 - 18 = 21

-9.76 ≠ 21 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option  3) 3, 2 and -, ×

24 ÷ 3 × 2 + 8 - 18 = 21 ⇒ 24 ÷ 2 - 3 + 8 × 18 = 21

⇒ 24 ÷ 2 - 3 + 8 × 18 = 21

⇒ 12 - 3 + 8 × 18 = 21

⇒ 12 + 144 - 3 = 21

⇒ 156 - 3 = 21

153 ≠ 21 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option  4) 3, 8 and -, +

24 ÷ 3 × 2 + 8 - 18 = 21 ⇒ 24 ÷ 8 × 2 - 3 + 18 = 21

⇒ 24 ÷ 8 × 2 - 3 + 18 = 21

⇒ 3 × 2 - 3 + 18 = 21

⇒ 6 + 18 - 3 = 21

⇒ 24 - 3 = 21

21 = 21 (LHS = RHS)

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

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

Thus, option Figure 1 will logically complete the pattern given.

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.

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

Here, as marked there are a total of 11 triangles.

Hence, "4" is the correct answer.

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

Conclusions:

I. All words can never be letters → Follow (As no letter is an alphabet and all alphabets are words. As all letters cannot be alphabets which whole comes in words, therefore it is true)

II. All letters being words is a possibility → Follow (As no letter is an alphabet and all alphabets are words. As no statement restricts whole letters from being words, therefore it is possible)

∴ Here, Both conclusions I and II follow.​

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2"

Given: 

1) E is the mother of L. 

2) H is the sister of E. 

3) G is the father of H.

4) L is the sister of D.

2) Kapil is sitting second to the left of Diya.

3) Pawan is sitting second to the right of Bhim.

4) Diya is an immediate neighbour of both Pawan and Ram.

Thus, Kapil is the immediate neighbour of both Pawan and Bhim.

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.
