Reasoning PYQs

Let's check each option,

1) ÷ and + 

→ 396 + 2 × 4 – 217 ÷ 74 = 935

→ 396 + 2 × 4 – 217/74 = 935

→ 396 + 8 – 217/74 = 935

→ 404 – 217/74 ≠ 935

→ LHS ≠ RHS

2) – and +

→ 396 ÷ 2 × 4 + 217 - 74 = 935

→ 198 × 4 + 217 - 74 = 935

→ 792 + 217 - 74 = 935

→ 1009 - 74 = 935

→ 935 = 935

→ LHS = RHS → Satisfies the equation.

3) ÷ and –

→ 396 - 2 × 4 ÷ 217 + 74 = 935

→ 396 - 2 × 4/217 + 74 = 935

→ 396 - 8/217 + 74 = 935

→ 470 - 8/217 ≠ 935

→ LHS ≠ RHS

4) + and ×

→ 396 ÷ 2 + 4 – 217 × 74 = 935

→ 198 + 4 – 217 × 74 = 935

→ 198 + 4 – 16058 = 935

→ 202 – 16058 ≠ 935

→ LHS ≠ RHS

Here, we can see that only Option 2 satisfy the equation.

Hence, the correct answer is "– and +".

The logic followed here is,

Logic: Vowels are subtracted with 1, Consonants are added with 2.

CRUSADE: ETTUZFD

MUSICAL: OTUHEZN

Similarly,

AUGUST: ?

 

Hence, the correct answer is "ZTITUV".

The equation we get after changing the signs,

→ 18 × 20 - 162 ÷ 9 + 19 =? 

→ 18 × 20 - 18 + 19 =? 

→ 360 - 18 + 19 =? 

→ 379 - 18 =?

→ 361 =?

Hence, the correct answer is "361".

The pattern followed here is,

Hence, the correct answer is "XWV".

According to the given information,

1) Gurman drove 28 km towards the West.

2. Then she took a left turn and drove 22 km.

3) She then took a right turn and drove 18 km.

4) She again took a right turn and drove 22 km.

The total distance from her starting point = (28 + 18) = 46 km.

Hence, the correct answer is "46 km".

The logic followed here is,

Editor: Article → An editor is the person responsible for assembling, coordinating, or reviewing the content of an article.

Similarly,

Choreographer: ? → A choreographer is a person who coordinates and reviews the dance.

Hence, the correct answer is "Dance".

The pattern followed here is,

Hence, the correct answer is "64".

The logic followed here is,

Logic: First Number = (Second Number)² - 1

195 ∶ 14

→ 195 = (14)² - 1

→ 195 = 196 - 1

8 ∶ 3

→ 8 = (3)2 - 1

→ 8 = 9 - 1

Similarly,

? ∶ 18

→ ? = (18)2 - 1

→ ? = 324 - 1 = 323

Hence, the correct answer is "323".

The least possible venn diagram can be drawn as,

Conclusions: 

I. Some tables are beds → Not Follows (This is possible but not definite).

II. Some cupboards are chairs → Follows (Because all tables are cupboards, and some tables are chairs).

III. Some cupboards are beds → Not Follows (This is possible but not definite).

Hence, the correct answer is "Only conclusion II follows".

The logic followed here is,

Logic: First Number = (Second Number)³ - (Second Number)

990 ∶ 10

→ 990 = (10)³ - 10

→ 990 = 1000 - 10

210 ∶ 6

→ 210 = (6)3 - 6

→ 210 = 216 - 6

Similarly,

? ∶ 9

→ ? = (9)3 - 9

→ ? = 729 - 9 = 720

Hence, the correct answer is "720".

The logic followed here is,

Logic: Second Number = (First Number + 5)²

11 ∶ 256

→ 256 = (11 + 5)²

→ 256 = (16)²

14 ∶ 361

→ 361 = (14 + 5)²

→ 361 = (19)²

Similarly,

? ∶ 1024 

→ 1024 = (? + 5)2

→ (32)² = (? + 5)²

→ 32 = (? + 5) ⇒ ? = (32 - 5) = 27

Hence, the correct answer is "27".

Let's check each option,

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Let's check two different positions of the same dice,

Here, two faces X and Y are common. ⇒ V is opposite to U.

Hence, the correct answer is "U".

Let's check all option,

1) FNKP

2) AIFK

3) WEBG

4) DLJM

Here, we can see that Option 4 is different from the others.

Hence, the correct answer is "DLJM".

Let's check each option,

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The pattern followed here is,

Hence, the correct answer is "693".

The pattern followed here is,

Hence, the correct answer is "86".

The least possible venn diagram that can be drawn is shown below,

Conclusions:

I. Some ceilings being dogs is a possibility → Follows (Because all dogs are beds and some beds are ceilings, so this is possible).

II. No dog is an apple → Follows (Because all dogs are beds, and no bed is Apple).

III. All beds are dogs → Not Follows (Because some beds are dogs).

IV. No ceiling is an apple → Not Follows (Because it is possible but not definite).

Hence, the correct answer is "Only Conclusions I and II follow".

Let's check each option,

Here, we can see that Option 3 follows a repeating pattern of "ACEGI".

Hence, the correct answer is "E A E C G A G".

Let's check each option,

1) YADI

2) FHKP

3) DFIN

4) TVZE

Here, we can see that Option 4 is different from others.

Hence, the correct answer is "TVZE".
