Reasoning PYQs

LOGIC: Instrument : Measure

Clock is an instrument used to measure and display time.

Similarly;

Compass is an instrument used to determine direction.

Hence, the correct answer is "Compass : Direction".

The logic followed here is:

In this, two logic are following in alternate figure.

So, the complete series will be:

So, 'Option 1' will replace the question mark.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

So, 'SOUE' will replace the question mark in the given series.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

TB Solution:

The logic followed here is:

For, ‘EXIST is written as FYHTU’,

For, 'ABOVE is written as BCNWF',

Similarly, for 'WORLD'

So, 'WORLD' will be written as 'XPQME'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given

Statements:

All breads are cakes.

Some cakes are pastries.

All pastries are toffees.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I.  All cakes are toffees. - False (Because, No definite relation given between cake and toffees, so it can be possible only).

II. No bread is a pastry - False (Because, No definite relation given between breads and pastries

and there is no negative statement given, so it can be possible only).

So, Neither conclusion I nor II follow.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

So, '143' is the missing number in the given series.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

Decoding the Symbols:

 

Given: A ÷ C × B + Q – Z

It means: A is husband of C, C is daughter of B, B is mother of Q, Q is father of Z.

So, Q is the 'Wife's brother' of A.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given equation: 28 A 14 A 12 A 6 A 4 A 3 A 4

BODMAS Table: 

Let's check each option one by one.

Option 1) +,  ̶ , ÷, ×, =, + 

Given: 28 A 14 A 12 A 6 A 4 A 3 A 4 

After replace the signs we get;

⇒ 28 +14 - 12 ÷ 6 × 4 = 3 + 4 

⇒ 28 +14 - 2 × 4 = 3 + 4 

⇒ 28 +14 - 8 = 3 + 4 

⇒ 42-8  = 7

⇒ 34 ≠ 7

⇒ LHS ≠ RHS

Option 2)  ̶ , +, ×, =, ÷, +

Given: 28 A 14 A 12 A 6 A 4 A 3 A 4

After interchanging the signs we get;

⇒ 28 - 14 + 12 × 6 = 4 ÷ 3 + 4

⇒ 28 - 14 + 12 × 6 = 1.33 + 4

⇒ 28 - 14 + 72 = 1.33 + 4

⇒ 100 - 14 = 5.33

⇒ 86 ≠ 5.33

⇒ LHS ≠ RHS

Option 3)  ̶ , +, ÷, =, ×, +

Given: 28 A 14 A 12 A 6 A 4 A 3 A 4

After interchanging the signs we get;

⇒ 28 - 14 + 12 ÷ 6 = 4 × 3 + 4

⇒ 28 - 14 + 2 = 4 × 3 + 4

⇒ 28 - 14 + 2 = 12 + 4

⇒ 28 - 14 + 2 = 12 + 4

⇒ 30 - 14 = 16

⇒ 16 = 16

⇒ LHS = RHS

Option 4)  ̶ , +, ÷, ×, =, +

Given: 28 A 14 A 12 A 6 A 4 A 3 A 4

After interchanging the signs we get;

⇒ 8 - 14 + 12 ÷ 6 × 4 = 3 + 4

⇒ 8 - 14 + 2 × 4 = 3 + 4

⇒ 8 - 14 + 8 = 3 + 4

⇒ 16 - 14 = 7

⇒ 2 ≠ 7

⇒ LHS ≠ RHS

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The image embedded in given figure is as shown below:

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

So, '99' is the missing number in the given series.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The correct order representing the educational journey from early childhood to tertiary education is:

4. Kindergarten (Early childhood education)

5. Primary school (Elementary education)

6. Secondary school (Middle and high school education)

7. Senior secondary school (Final years of high school)

8. College (Tertiary education)

Hence, "4, 2, 3, 1, 5" is the correct answer.

The image embedded in the given figure is as shown below:

Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.

Given Equation: 11 B 10 D 18 A 3 C 8 = ?

BODMAS Rule:

Decoding the given information:

 

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

11 × 10 - 18 ÷ 3 + 8 = ?

⇒ 11 × 10 - 6 + 8 = ?

⇒ 110 - 6 + 8 = ?

⇒ 118 - 6 = 112

Hence, the correct option is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

Option 1) GTMN

Option 2) HSNM

Option 3) EVKP

Option 4) JRPV

Here, 'JRPV' is odd among the given options.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: (2^nd number)³ × (2^nd number -1) = 1^st number.

Now,

For, 54 : 3

⇒ (3)³ × (3 -1)

⇒ 27 × 2 = 54

For, 500 : 5

⇒ (5)3 × (5 -1)

⇒ 125 × 4 = 500

Similarly, for, ? : 4

⇒ (4)³ × (4 -1)

⇒ 64 × 3 = 192.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3"

Logic: 2^nd number × {(2^nd number)² - (2^nd number + 1)}  = 1^st number.

Now,

For, 44 : 4

⇒ 4 × (4² - 5)

⇒ 4 × 11 = 44

For, 287 : 7

⇒ 7 × (72 - 8)

⇒ 7 × 41 = 287

Similarly, for ? : 10

⇒ 10 × (102 - 11)

⇒ 10 × 89 = 890.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The paper after unfolded will be:

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given: A, B, C, D, E, F, and G are of different heights.

1. A is taller than only two people.

__ > __ > __ > __ > A > __ > __

2. D is shorter than only G.

G > D > __ > __ > A > __ > __

3. F is taller than A but shorter than B.

G > D > B > F > A > __ > __

4. C is shorter than E.

G > D > B > F > A > E > C

So, only one person is shorter than E

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: (1^st number - 3^rd number)² = 2^nd number.

For (30, 625, 5)

(30 - 5)² = 625.

For (20, 225, 5)

(20 - 5)2 = 225.

Now, checking the options:

Option 1) (19, 122, 7) 

⇒ (19 - 7)² 

⇒ 12²

⇒ 144 ≠ 225

Option 2) (21, 297, 6)

⇒ (21 - 6)2 

⇒ 152 

⇒ 225 ≠ 297

Option 3) (32, 280, 5)

⇒ (32 - 5)2

⇒   272 

⇒ 729 ≠ 280

Option 4) (24, 256, 8)

⇒ (24 - 8)2 

⇒ 16² = 256

Hence, the correct option is "Option 4"
