Reasoning PYQs

Given

Statements:

All photocopiers are computers.

Some computers are laptops.

No laptop is a mobile.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. No computer is a mobile - False (Because, No definite relation given between Computer and Mobile, so it can be possible only).

II. Some computers are photocopiers - True (Because, All photocopiers are computer, it also gives Some computers are photocopiers).

III. All mobiles are photocopiers - False (Because, No definite relation given between Mobiles and Photocopiers, so it can be possible only).

So, Only conclusion II follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given equation: 10 ÷ 5 × 5 – 30 + 3 = ?

Decoding the given information :

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

New equation : 10 + 5 ÷ 5 × 30 - 3 = ?

Calculation :

⇒ 10 + 5 ÷ 5 × 30 - 3 = ?

⇒ 10 + 1 × 30 - 3 = ?

⇒ 10 + 30 - 3 = ?

⇒ 40 - 3 = 37.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The triangles are:

So, there are '24' triangles in the given figure.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

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

Now,

For (111, 117, 123)

→ (111 + 123) ÷ 2

→ 234 ÷ 2 = 117.

For (169, 200, 231)

→ (169 + 231) ÷ 2

→ 400 ÷ 2 = 200.

Similarly, for (125, 135, 145) 

→ (125 + 145) ÷ 2

→ 270 ÷ 2 = 135.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

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

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given

Statements:

All paintings are calligraphies.

All sketching are calligraphies.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. At least some calligraphies are paintings - True (Because, All paintings are calligraphies, so some calligraphies are paintings).

II. No sketching is a painting - False (Because, No definite relation given between Sketching and Painting, so it can be possible only).

So, Only conclusion I follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

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

Now,

For (7, 9, 257)

→ (7 + 9)² + 1

→ 256 + 1 = 257.

For (10, 3, 170)

→ (10 + 3)2 + 1

→ 169 + 1 = 170.

Similarly, for (6, 9, 226) 

→ (6 + 9)2 + 1

→ 225 + 1 = 226.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

For, KITE : IFQA

For, TIRE : RFOA

Similarly, for DIRE : ?

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The correct mirror image of the given combination when the mirror is placed at MN is as shown below:-

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: (1^st number + 3^rd number) ÷ 2 - 7 = 2^nd number.

Now,

For (137, 95, 67)

→ (137 + 67) ÷ 2 - 7

→ 204 ÷ 2 - 7

→ 102 - 7 = 95.

For (246, 204, 176)

→ (246 + 176) ÷ 2 - 7

→ 422 ÷ 2 - 7

→ 211 - 7 = 207.

Similarly, for (199, 157, 129)

→ (199 + 129) ÷ 2 - 7

→ 328 ÷ 2 - 7

→ 164 - 7 = 157.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

Option 1) QOR

Option 2) TQU

Option 3) JGK

Option 4) YVZ

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

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed here is:

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

Now,

For (17, 87, 104)

→ 17 + 87 = 104.

For (20, 102, 122)

→ 20 + 102 = 122.

Similarly, for (13, 67, 80)

→ 13 + 67 = 80.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given

Statement:

B = T < E ≤ G > F = H > Q

Now,

Conclusions:

(i) G > Q → True (G > F = H > Q It gives G > Q)

(ii) G > B → True (B = T < E ≤ G It gives B < G)

Here, Both conclusions I and II are true.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

So, '53' will complete the series.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

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

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed here is:

Step I: The Symbol 'Arrow' has shifted alternatively.

Step II: The Symbol 'Triangle' are getting rotated in 90 degree in anti-clockwise direction, and shaded alternatively

Step III: The Symbol 'Arrow' has shifted one place in clockwise direction.

So, the complete series will be:

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given: Six people M, N, O, P, Q and R are sitting around a circular table facing the centre.

1. R sits second to the left of N.

2. P is an immediate neighbour of O and R.

3. M sits second to the left of Q.

So. 'R' sits to the immediate right of P.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given: P, Q, R, S, T, U and V.

1. R is elder than 4 persons.

__ > __ > R > __ > __ > __ > __

2. Q is elder than R but younger than P.

P > Q > R > __ > __ > __ > __

3. T is elder than U but younger than S.

4) U is not the youngest.

P > Q > R > S > T > U > V

Here, 'V' is the youngest among all.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given: 

One morning, Swapnil started walking from his home and walked 40 km towards North.

Then, he turned to the right and walked 60 km.

Again, he turned right and walked 40 km.

Lastly, he took a left turn and walked 30 km.

So, Swapnil is at the 'East' direction is he now from his home.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Family Chart:

Decoding the Symbols:

 

Given: B % C ^ D & E

It means: B is the Father of C, C is the Husband of D, D is the Daughter of E.

Here, B is the 'Father of son-in-law' of E.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
