Reasoning PYQs

The logic followed here is:

BOX : ANW

 

FIX : ?

 

Thus, FIX : EHW.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The triangles in the figure is:

Thus, the total number of triangles is 14.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Number of sides in the figure = Number.

A triangle has 3 sides.

The 

Pentagon has 5 sides.

Similarly,

Square has 4 sides.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3".

Given:

Principal (P) = ₹15,000

Rate of Interest (R) = 10% per annum

Time (T) = 2 years

Compounded quarterly ⇒ n = 4

Formula used:

Compound Interest Amount = P (1 + R/(100n))^nT

Calculation:

Quarterly rate = 10% / 4 = 2.5%

Number of quarters = 2 × 4 = 8

Amount = 15000 × (1 + 0.025)⁸

Amount ≈ 15000 × 1.2184 = 18,276

∴ The amount becomes INR 18276.

The logic followed here is:

Logic: The instruments are musical instruments that produce sound, while the odd one is a device that converts sound into an electrical signal.

Guitar, Piano, and Violin are all musical instruments that produce sound.

Similarly,

Microphone is an electronic device that converts sound into an electrical signal.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given:

A figure consists of a square with 4 equal horizontal and 4 equal vertical lines dividing it into a 5x5 grid.

There are 5 rows and 5 columns in the above figure. So let n = 5.

Here, we using formulas for finding number of squares in an n × n grid as follows.

Formula :-

n2 + (n - 1)2 + (n - 2)2 + - - - - - - - - - - + (n - n)2

The number of squares in a 5 × 5 matrix is

= 5² + 4² + 3² + 2² + 1²

⇒ 25 + 16 + 9 + 4 + 1 = 55.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The water image of given is:

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The pattern followed here is:

Logic: Each figure moves 90° clockwise direction.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Number of sides = Number of arrows.

Thus, Figure C does not follow the same logic.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

 

Thus, the missing term in the series is 180.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The pattern followed here is.

Thus, the missing term in the series is 22L.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

The logic followed here is:

Logic: 2^nd image is shaded part of 1^st image.

Similarly,

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3".

The pattern followed here is:

Thus, the missing terms in the series are 79 and 76.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

All the conditions are as follows:

 

Here, Meera fulfills all criteria except the experience requirement. However, as per the special case, since she has only 1 year of experience but also holds a Master’s in Data Science, her case should be referred to the Project Manager.

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

The pattern followed here is:

Thus, figure D will complete the series.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The number of triangles is:

Thus, the total number of triangles is 28.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The most ethical and responsible action is:

Option 1 : Risky — it could escalate into conflict or even danger.

Option 2 : Easiest, but it allows theft to continue and harms the store and its staff.

Option 3 : Completely unethical — it violates privacy, could wrongly accuse someone, and spreads the issue publicly without resolution.

Option 4 (Inform store staff): Responsible — it lets the right people handle the situation discreetly, avoids escalation, and protects you and others.

Thus, 4) Discreetly find a store employee or manager and quietly inform them of what you observed is correct. 

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The logic followed here is:

Figure breaks the 2D classification rule:

Option 1 is sphere shape which is a 3D figure.

And rest figures are Pentagon, Triangle, Square are 2D figures.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: All the numbers, except one, are perfect cubes.

Now,

1. 512: 8³ = 512. (Perfect Cube)

2. 343: 7³ = 343. (Perfect Cube)

3. 216: 6³ = 216. (Perfect Cube)

4. 289: 17² = 289. (Perfect Square)

All numbers are perfect cubes except for 289, which is a perfect square.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

All the conditions are as follows:

 

Here, Sneha meets the main technical requirements (education, experience, government project handling) but does not have the MBA.

She satisfies the conditions of Special Clause 1 (no MBA, 12+ years' experience, 2+ years abroad, led 3+ projects). Therefore her case should be referred to the Advisory Board.

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