Reasoning PYQs

From the given information:

• Rectangle stands for 'students'
• Triangle stands for 'sportspersons'
• Circle stands for 'hostellers'

​Now we have to find out the number of students who are both hostellers and sportspersons which means we have to find out a common region between triangle, rectangle and circle:

And the number assigned to that region is 10.

Hence the correct answer is option 1)

According to the English alphabets and their positional values: 

The pattern followed in the given codes is:

  The alphabets are increased to 5 positional values.

Hence the correct answer is option 3)

Given: 16 January 2015 was Friday.

The same date occurs on the next day of the week every year. So if we want to calculate in back date we have to count backward:

• 16 January 2015 was Friday.
• 16 January 2014 was Thursday.
• 16 January 2013 was Wednesday.
• 16 January 2012 was Monday (It is a leap year with 2 odd days so it will not be Tuesday).
• 16 January 2011 was Sunday.
• 16 January 2010 was Saturday.

Hence the correct answer is option 4.

The pattern followed in the given series is:

Fourth term - First term = Two digit number (digit 1 = second term & digit 2 = third term)

We apply the pattern to the given series:

1) (15, 1, 7, 32)

 32 - 15 = 17 i.e. 1,7

2) (20, 2, 7, 47)

 47 - 20 = 27 i.e. 2,7

3) (13, 3, 7, 50)

 50 - 13 = 37 i.e. 3,7

4) (7, 4, ?, 48)

 48 - 7 = 41 i.e. 4,1 

So, ? = 1.

Hence the correct answer is option 1)

From the given statements, the Venn diagram will be:

Some plants are flowers.

Some flowers are fruits.

All flowers are gardens.

Now we consider the given

Conclusions:

I. Some gardens are plants: We have "all flowers are gardens" and "some plants are flowers" so we can say that gardens and plants are related and some gardens are plants and thus the conclusion follows.

II. Some fruits are gardens: We have "all flowers are gardens" and "some flowers are fruits" which clearly suggests that some fruits are gardens and therefore the conclusion follows.

III. Some gardens are flowers: From the given information we know that all flowers are gardens which can be also phrased as some gardens are flowers, we can see this in the diagram and thus the conclusion follows.

Since all the conclusions follow.

Hence the correct answer is option 3)

The correct mirror image when the mirror is placed at MN is shown as below:

Hence, 'option 2' is the correct answer.

From the information given:

Step 1:  A and C have an equal numbers of persons between them from both the ends. A is to the immediate left of E.

              

Since there are only 6 people A & C will have 2 people between them from either side. 

Step 2: B is to the immediate right of F.

              

We have to place B to immediate right of F and we require two spots which are available on the left of C.

Step 3: D is second to the left of F.

               

Now we place D at the only spot left.

We can see in the diagram that B sits in between A and F.

Hence the correct answer is option 4)

From the given information we draw a tree using the symbols:

Abhishek is Avritti’s husband. Anvi and Ankur are twins. Rubi is Avritti’s husband's sister. Ankur is Abhishek’s son. Richa is Rubi’s daughter.

From the diagram, we can see that Richa is a cousin of Avni.

Hence the correct answer is option 2)

The pattern followed in the options is:

   The word is reversed.

Option 1)

Option 2)

Option 3)

Option 4) 

We can see that option 3 is the odd one.

Hence the correct answer is option 3)

The pattern followed in the given series is:

  The difference of differences between the terms is 2.

Hence the correct answer is option 4)

According to the English alphabet and their positional values:

The pattern followed in the given series is:

  The first three alphabets are increased to 3 positional values.

  The last three alphabets are decreased to 3 positional values.

Hence the correct answer is option 3)

We substitute the value from the given options and solve the equation using BODMAS rule:

Option 1) 14 and 2; × and +

2 + 8 × 64 ÷ 32 – 14 = 88

2 + 8 × 2 – 14 = 88

2 + 16 – 14 = 88

18 - 14 = 88

4 ≠ 88

Option 2) 8 and 32; × and +

14 + 32 × 64 ÷ 8 – 2 = 88

14 + 32 × 8 – 2 = 88

14 + 256 – 2 = 88

270 – 2 = 88

268 ≠ 88

Option 3) 32 and 64; + and ÷

14 × 8 ÷ 32 + 64 – 2 = 88

14 × 0.25 + 64 – 2 = 88

3.5 + 64 – 2 = 88

67.5 – 2 = 88

65.5 ≠ 88

Option 4) 8 and 2; – and ÷ 

14 × 2 + 64 - 32 ÷ 8 = 88

14 × 2 + 64 - 4 = 88

28 + 64 - 4 = 88

92 - 4 = 88

88 = 88

Hence the correct answer is option 4)

The logic followed here is:

In the morning sun rises in the East and so any shadow falls towards the West.

Now Preet's shadow falls to the left of Dhvani.

Hence, Dhvani is facing North.

The pattern followed in the given codes is:

  The vowels are coded as next vowel in the order A,E,I,O,U.

  The consonants are increased to 1 positional value.

  The consonants when increased if land on a vowel then it is increased by 1 again i.e. +2.

Similarly,

Hence the correct answer is option 1)

From the given information:

Step 1: Udai walks 25 m towards the west, and then he turns left and walks 55 m.

                   

Step 2: Then, he takes a right turn and walks 45 m. Then, he turns right again and walks 70 m.

              

Now we have to find out the direction and distance he should walk now to reach 15 m north of the starting point,

       

          Total distance from end point = 25 + 45 = 70 m

From the figure it is clear that he should walk 70 m towards east.

Hence the correct answer is option 3)

Logic : The image is rotating in clockwise direction

The pattern followed here is:

Hence, 'option 1' is the correct answer.

The pattern followed in the given series is: 

Number × 2 : (Number)²

Now we apply the pattern:

12 : 36 :: 18 : ?

6 × 2 : 62

12 : 36 

18 : 81 :: 18 : ?

9 × 2 : 92

18 : 81 

Hence the correct answer is option 2)

We substitute the values from each option and solve the equation using BODMAS rule:

Option 1) ×, +, ÷, –, =

30 × 3 + 16 ÷ 4 - 24 = 70

30 × 3 + 4 - 24 = 70

90 + 4 - 24 = 70

94 - 24 = 70

70 = 70

Option 2) +, ×, –, ÷, =

30 + 3 × 16 - 4 ÷ 24 = 70

30 + 3 × 16 - 0.1 = 70

30 + 48 - 0.1 = 70

78 - 0.1 = 70

77.9 ≠ 70

Option 3) ×, ÷, +, –, =

30 × 3 ÷ 16 + 4 - 24 = 70

30 × 0.1 + 4 - 24 = 70

3 + 4 - 24 = 70

7 - 24 = 70

-17 ≠ 70

Option 4) ÷, ×, –, +, =

30 ÷ 3 × 16 - 4 + 24 = 70

10 × 16 - 4 + 24 = 70

160 - 4 + 24 = 70

184 - 4 = 70

184 ≠ 70

Hence the correct answer is option 1)

The logical and meaningful order of the given words is:

2. Measurement
3. Stitching
4. Designer dress
5. Wearing

This is the arrangement according to the process of making a dress from the basic step i.e. measuring to end step i.e. wearing. 

So the order will be 2, 4, 3, 1.

Hence the correct answer is option 1)

From the given statements, we draw a Venn diagram:

All teachers are engineers.

All clerks are teachers.

Now we consider the given

Conclusions:

I. Some engineers are clerks: From the statements we have that all clerks are teachers and all teachers are engineers which means all clerks are engineer so it is obvious that some engineers are clerks and therefore the conclusion follows.

II. Some teachers are clerks: From the information, all clerks are teachers we can undoubtedly conclude that some teachers are clerks and the same can be seen in the diagram and thus the conclusion follows.

III. Some clerks are not engineers: Here all the clerks are teachers and all the teachers are engineers which means all the clerks are engineers and from the diagram it is clearly visible that clerks falls into the region of engineers so the conclusion does not follow.

So only conclusion I and II follow.

Hence the correct answer is option 4)
