Reasoning PYQs

Given

Statements:

All eyes are noses.

Some noses are lips.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. Some noses are eyes - True (Because, All eyes are nose gives some nose are eyes).

II. All lips are noses - False (Because, Some nose are lips gives Some lips are nose, And All lips are noses are possibility only).

So, Only conclusion I follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given

Statements:

No rain is an earthquake.

All rains are floods.

Some rains are droughts.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. Some floods are earthquakes - False (Because, No definite relation given between Floods and Earthquakes, so it can be possible only).

II. Some droughts are earthquakes - False (Because, No definite relation given between Droughts and Earthquakes, so it can be possible only).

III. Some floods are droughts - True (All rains are floods, Some rains are droughts this means Some floods are Droughts).

So, Only conclusion III follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given equation: 196 D (2 A 3 B 4) = 4 ? 5 B 2

Decoding the given information :

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

New equation : 196 ÷ (2 + 3 × 4) = 4 ? 5 × 2

Calculation :

⇒ 196 ÷ (2 + 3 × 4) = 4 ? 5 × 2

⇒ 196 ÷ (2 + 12) = 4 ? 5 × 2

⇒ 196 ÷ 14 = 4 ? 5 × 2

⇒ 14 = 4 ? 5 × 2

⇒ 14 = 4 + 10

⇒ 14 = 14.

Here, A will replace the question mark in the given equation.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: 1^st number × 2 = 2^nd number;

2^nd number × 2 = 3^rd number.

Now,

For, (17, 34, 68)

⇒ 17 × 2 = 34;

⇒ 34 × 2 = 68.

For, (24, 48, 96)

⇒ 24 × 2 = 48;

⇒ 48 × 2 = 96.

Similarly, for (29, 58, 116)

⇒ 29 × 2 = 58;

⇒ 58 × 2 = 116.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given: Seven people I, Y, O, U, R, P, and T.

1. P sits at the extreme right.

2. Y sits fourth to the left of P.

3) Only six people sit to the right of R.

4. T is the immediate neighbour of R.

5. I sits fourth to the right of R.

6. U and T are the immediate neighbours of Y.

7. O is the immediate neighbour of P.

Here, 'U' sits at the centre of the row.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

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

Now,

(339, 440, 541) ⇒ (339 + 541) ÷ 2 = 440,

(201, 302, 403) ⇒ (201 + 403) ÷ 2 = 302

Applying the same logic to the options:

1. (388, 488, 590) ⇒ (388 + 590) ÷ 2 = 489 ≠ 488.
2. (332, 432, 533) ⇒ (332 + 533) ÷ 2 = 432.5 ≠ 432.
3. (437, 538, 639) ⇒ (437 + 639) ÷ 2 = 538.
4. (536, 638, 738) ⇒ (536 + 738) ÷ 2 = 637 ≠ 638.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given

Statements:

No sheet is a pillow.

Some pillows are blankets.

All blankets are rugs.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. Some pillows are rugs - True (Because, Those part of pillow that is Blankets will also Rugs).

II. All blankets can never be sheets - True (Because, Those part of Blankets that is pillow will never be sheets).

III. Some rugs are sheets - False (Because, no definite relation given between Rugs and Sheets, so it can be possible only).

So, Only conclusions I and II follow.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

So, '323' will complete the series.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

Option 1) HSVW

Option 2) EVTR

Option 3) GTRP

Option 4) BYWU

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

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given: 

Town A is to the northwest of Town B.

Town D is to the north of Town C.

Town B is to the east of Town C.

Town M is to the North of Town B.

Town D is southeast of Town A.

Town M is East of Town A.

So, Town D is Northwest of Town B.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given

Statement:

S ≤ P = U < T > V ≥ X > W

Now,

Conclusions:

(i) T > S → True (S ≤ P = U < T It gives S < T)

(ii) W < V → True (V ≥ X > W It gives V > W)

Here, Both conclusions I and II are true.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: The second word is a property or characteristic of the first word.

Here,

Mirror : Reflection → Reflection is a property of a mirror.

Similarly,

Glass : ? → Refraction is a property of glass.

Hence, the correct answer is "Refraction".

The triangles are:

So, there are '8' triangles in the given figure.

Hence, the correct answer is "8".

The logic followed here is:

Logic → The given words represent body parts, from Bottom to Top of the Hand.

The correct logical order is:

Fingernail < Thumb < Palm < Elbow < Wrist

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

The logic followed here is:

Logic: (1^st number × 7) - 3 = 2^nd number.

Now,

For, 18 : 123

⇒ (18 × 7) - 3

⇒ 126 - 3 = 123.

For, 19 : 130

⇒ (19 × 7) - 3

⇒ 133 - 3 = 130.

Similarly, for 15 : ?

⇒ (15 × 7) - 3

⇒ 105 - 3 = 102.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given equation: (134 – 13) ÷ 27 × 3 – 6 = 11.

BODMAS Table: 

Let's check each option one by one.

Option 1) 6 and 13

Given: (134 – 13) ÷ 27 × 3 – 6 = 11

After interchanging the numbers we get;

⇒ (134 – 6) ÷ 27 × 3 – 13 = 11

⇒ 128 ÷ 27 × 3 – 13 = 11

⇒ 14.22 – 13 = 11

⇒ 1.22 ≠ 11

⇒ LHS ≠ RHS

Option 2) 3 and 6

Given: (134 – 13) ÷ 27 × 3 – 6 = 11

After interchanging the numbers we get;

⇒ (134 – 13) ÷ 27 × 6 – 3 = 11

⇒ 121 ÷ 27 × 6 – 3 = 11

⇒ 26.89 – 3 = 11

⇒ 23.89 ≠ 11

⇒ LHS ≠ RHS

Option 3) 27 and 11

Given: (134 – 13) ÷ 27 × 3 – 6 = 11

After interchanging the numbers we get;

⇒ (134 – 13) ÷ 11 × 3 – 6 = 27

⇒ 121 ÷ 11 × 3 – 6 = 27

⇒ 11 × 3 – 6 = 27

⇒ 33 - 6 = 27

⇒ 27 = 27

⇒ LHS = RHS

Option 4) 11 and 13

Given: (134 – 13) ÷ 27 × 3 – 6 = 11

After interchanging the numbers we get;

⇒ (134 – 11) ÷ 27 × 3 – 6 = 13

⇒ 123 ÷ 27 × 3 – 6 = 13

⇒ 123 ÷ 27 × 3 – 6 = 13

⇒ 13.67 - 6 = 13

⇒ 7.67 ≠ 13

⇒ LHS ≠ RHS

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
