Reasoning PYQs

Given equation: 320 + 64 - 18 ÷ 2 × 28 = ?

BODMAS Rule:

Decoding the given information:

 

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

⇒ 320 ÷ 64 + 18 × 2 - 28 = ?

⇒ 5 + 18 × 2 - 28 = ?

⇒ 5 + 36 - 28 = ?

⇒ 41 - 28 = 13

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

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

1. A is shorter than only three people.

2. D is taller than only F.

⇒ _ > _ > _ > A >_ > D > F. 

3. B is taller than A but shorter than both C and E.

4)E is not the tallest person.

5. Only one place is vacant which is occupied by G.

⇒ C > E > B > A > > G > D > F. 

Thus, only two people are shorter than G.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given: 

Some curtains are fans.

Some fans are bulbs.

The least possible Venn diagram of given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. Some curtains are bulbs → False (There is not any definite relation between curtains and bulbs is given, so it can possible only).

II. All bulbs are fans → False (It is given that some bulbs are fans, no information is given about all bulbs are fans so, it can be possible only).

Thus, neither conclusion I nor II follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

Hence the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given: 12^th January 2015 was Monday,

Now,

 12^th January 2015 to 26^th January 2016 = 379 day.

⇒ 379 days ÷ 7 = 1 Odd Day.

⇒ 12^th January 2015 was Monday​ + 1 odd day = Tuesday.

Thus, Tuesday is the day of the week was it on 26^th January 2016.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Additional Information 1 Ordinary year = (52 weeks + 1 day).

ordinary year has 1 odd day.

1 leap year = 365 days = 52 weeks + 2 odd days.

The logic followed here is:

Logic: (First number - Third number) ÷ 3 = Second number.

For, (100, 30, 10)

⇒ (100 - 10) ÷ 3 = 30

⇒ 90 ÷ 3 = 30

⇒ 30 = 30.

For, (250, 60, 70)

⇒ (250 - 70) ÷ 3 = 60

⇒ 180 ÷ 3 = 60

⇒ 60 = 60

Let's check with options:

Option 1) (700, 220, 40)

⇒ (700 - 40) ÷ 3 = 220

​⇒ 660 ÷ 3 = 220

​⇒ 220 = 220.

Here, logic followed.

Option 2) (240, 187, 104)

⇒ (240 - 104) ÷ 3 = 187

​⇒ 136 ÷ 3 = 187

​⇒ 45 ≠ 187

Option 3) (209, 122, 109)

⇒ (209 - 109) ÷ 3 = 122

​⇒ 100 ÷ 3 =122

​⇒ 33 ≠ 122.

Option 4) (310, 198, 30)

⇒ (310 - 30) ÷ 3 = 198

​⇒ 280 ÷ 3 = 198

​⇒ 93.3 ≠ 198.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

The logic followed here is:

Thus, GIM complete the given series.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given: Six students are sitting around a circular table facing the centre.

1. Amit is sitting second to the left of Jia.

2. Sia is sitting second to the left of Amit.

3. Jia is an immediate Neighbour of both Varun and Pramod.

4. Amit is an immediate Neighbour of both Mahesh and Varun.

Thus, Pramod is the immediate Neighbour of Sia and Jia.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Addition of consecutive numbers.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given:  M ≥ N = O ≥ P ≤ W; X ≤ O > Y

Now,

Conclusions:

(i) M > Y → True (M ≥ N = O > Y It gives M > Y),

(ii) X ≤ W → False (M ≥ N = O ≥ P ≤ W; X ≤ O > Y No definite relation between X ≤ W).

Here, only conclusions I follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The correct order of words as they would appear in the English dictionary is:

3. Melancholy
4. Melanin
5. Mellowed
6. Melodious
7. Melodrama
8. Melting

The correct order is '3, 5, 6, 2, 1, 4'

Hence the correct answer is "Option (2)".

The meaningful sequence is :

3. Handle → Each drawer has handles.
4. Drawer → A cupboard contains drawers.
5. Cupboard → A cupboard is a type of furniture.
6. Furniture → Wood is the raw material used to make furniture.
7. Wood → Wood is the raw material, a natural resource obtained from trees.

So, the logical and meaningful order is '3, 4, 2, 1, 5'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option (3)".

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

Hence, the correct answer is "Option (1)".

BODMAS Table: 

Let's check each option one by one.

Given equation: (√ 144 ÷ 4) + (6)2 - (25 × 2) + 72 + (32 ÷ 8) × 3 = 52

Option 1) 2 and 8

After interchanging the numbers we get;

⇒ (√ 144 ÷ 4) + (6)2 - (25 × 8) + 72 + (32 ÷ 2) × 3 = 52

⇒ 3 + 36 - 200 + 72 + 16 × 3 = 52

⇒ 3 + 36 - 200 + 72 + 48 = 52

⇒ 159 - 200 = 52

⇒ - 41 ≠ 52

⇒ LHS ≠ RHS

Option 2) 3 and 6

After interchanging the numbers we get;

⇒ (√ 144 ÷ 4) + (3)2 - (25 × 2) + 72 + (32 ÷ 8) × 6 = 52​​​

⇒ 3 + 9 - 50 + 72 + 4 × 6 = 52

⇒ 3 + 9 - 50 + 72 + 24 = 52

⇒ 108 - 50 = 52

⇒ 58 ≠ 52

⇒ LHS ≠ RHS

Option 3) 4 and 6

After interchanging the numbers we get;

⇒ ​(√ 144 ÷ 6) + (4)2 - (25 × 2) + 72 + (32 ÷ 8) × 3 = 52

⇒ 2 + 16 - 50 + 72 + 4 × 3 = 52

⇒ 2 + 16 - 50 + 72 + 12 = 52

⇒ 102 - 50 = 52

⇒ 52 = 52 

⇒ LHS = RHS

Option 4) 2 and 4

After interchanging the numbers we get;

⇒ (√ 144 ÷ 2) + (6)2 - (25 × 4) + 72 + (32 ÷ 8) × 3 = 52

⇒ 6 + 36 - 100 + 72 + 4 × 3 = 52

⇒ 6 + 36 - 100 + 72 + 12 = 52

⇒ 126 - 100 = 52

⇒ 76 ≠ 52

⇒ LHS ≠ RHS

Hence, the correct answer is "Option (3)".

The positions of letter according to the English alphabet series:

The logic follows here is:

Option 1): ADW

Option 2): GTQ

Option 3): KNM

Option 4): RUF

The logic followed in Option (2) is different from others

Hence, the correct answer is "Option (2)".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: First number × 3 - 4 = Second number,

Second number × 2 + 1 = Third number.

Given,

(7, 17, 35)

⇒ 7 × 3 - 4 = 17,

⇒ 17 × 2 + 1 = 35.

(5, 11, 23)

⇒ 5 × 3 - 4 = 11,

⇒11 × 2 + 1 = 23.

Now, checking the options:

Option 1): (11, 29, 58)

⇒ 11 × 3 - 4 = 29,

⇒ 29 × 2 + 1 ≠ 59.

Option 2): (9, 23, 47)

⇒ 9 × 3 - 4 = 23,

⇒ 23 × 2 + 1 = 47.

Option 3): (8, 20, 39)

⇒ 8 × 3 - 4 = 20,

⇒ 20 × 2 + 1 ≠ 41.

Option 4): (10, 26, 54)

⇒ 10 × 3 - 4 = 26,

⇒ 26 × 2 + 1 ≠ 53.

Hence, the correct option is "Option (2)".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: The second word is the sound produced by the first word.

Here,

snake : Hiss ⇒ Hiss is the sound produced by the snake.

Similarly,

Leaves : Rustel ⇒ Rustel is the sound produced by the leaves.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option (2)".

The position and positional values or English Alphabets are:

The logic followed here is:

For, 'CREATE' is written as ‘DTHEYK’,

For,  'CRITICAL' is written as 'DTLXNIHT’,

Similarly, for 'SKILL',

So, 'SKILL'  will be written as 'TMLPQ'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option (2)".

The position and positional values or English Alphabets are:

The logic followed here is:

For, ‘COFFEE’ is written as ‘FTKKJH’,

For, ‘EXPERT’ is written as ‘HCUJWW’,

Similarly, for ‘FRENCH’,

So, ‘FRENCH’ will be written as 'IWJSHK'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option (4)".

The logic followed here is as follows:

• The movement of elements of steps 1 and 3 are similar as shown by the diagram.
• Similarly,  The movement of elements of steps 2 and 4 are similar as shown by the diagram.
• In step 2, number 3 changed to 4, and in step 4 sign = changed to the letter F.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option (1)"
