Reasoning PYQs

The least possible Venn Diagram is as follows:

Conclusions:

I. Some coolers are machines. → Follows (because some machines are coolers, that's why some coolers will be machines too.)

II. Some robots are machines. → Follows (because some machines are coolers and all coolers are robots, hence Some robots will be machines too.)

III. No robot is a microwave. → Does not follow (because some microwaves are coolers and all coolers are robots, hence Some robots will be microwaves too.)

Hence, “Only conclusions I and II follow”.

The logic followed here is:

As we know that the year 2000 is divisible by 400, and so the number of odd days = 0.

Next, the number of leap years till 2010 = 2 i.e. 2004 and 2008.

And, the number of ordinary years till 2010 = 8

So, the total number of odd days will be till 2011 is

= 8 + 2(2) = 12 odd days

Again, the total number of odd days till 19^th Feb 2011 

= 12 + 31 (Jan) + 19 (Feb)

= 62 odd days = 8 weeks and 6 odd days

 

Thus, the day on 19^th Feb 2011 is Saturday.

Hence, the correct answer is 'option 2'.

• Mridul cycles 145 m towards the east

• and then turns left and cycles 155 m.

• Again, he turns left and cycles 225 m.

• He finally turns left and cycles 95 m to reach his home.

• Shortest distance between Home and Starting point will be,

 

• Using Pythagoras theorem, (Shortest distance)² = 60² + 80² = 3600 + 6400 = 10000
• Shortest distance = \( \sqrt{10000}\) = 100 m.

Hence, option 3) is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

Hence, '77' is the correct answer,

Logic: Third number = (First number + Second number) x (First number - Second number)

So, for given

1^st row: 

 → (15 + 12) \(\times\) (15 - 12) = 27 \(\times\) 3 = 81

2^nd row: 

→ (17 + 14) \(\times\) (17 - 14) = 31 \(\times\) 3 = 93

Similarly for the missing number, we have:

3^rd row: 

→ (15 + 11) \(\times\) (15 - 11) = 26 \(\times\) 4 = 104

 

Thus, the missing number is 104.

Hence, the correct answer is 'option 2'.

The relationship between which is best illustrated by the Venn diagram is given below,

• Because All uncles are males, so uncles will come under the males circle.
• But all Farmers are not males, only some farmers are males and some are uncles too, hence they will share a part with males and uncles circle.

Hence, option 4) is the correct answer.

Let's check each option:

1. GJOV → 

2. CFKR → 

3. SVAH → 

4. WZFL → 

Hence, option 4) is the odd one.

The logic followed here is:

Third number = (First number)³ + (Second number)²

⇒ (4)3 + (8)2 = 64 + 64 = 128

⇒ (3)3 + (9)2 = 27 + 81 = 108

Similarly,

⇒ (5)3 + (10)2 = 125 + 100 = 225

Hence, option 3) is the correct answer.

According to the question,

• 'Red' is called 'Tomato'
• 'Tomato' is called 'Sweet'
• 'Sweet' is pronounced 'good'
• 'Good' is pronounced 'clean'

Now the color of blood is red, but according to the given information ' red'  means ' tomato'.

Hence, option 1) is the correct answer.

The positional value table is as follows:

The pattern followed here is:

Coded word is written in reverse alphabetical order.

• In FRAGILE : RLIGFEA 
• Arranging in Alphabetical order → A E F G I L R
• Reverse Alphabetical order → RLIGFEA.​​​
• Similarly, In CAUTION : ? ​
• Arranging in Alphabetical order → A C I N O T U
• Reverse Alphabetical order → UTONICA

We get 'UTONICA'.

Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.

Logic : In every column, number in first row + cube of number in second row = Number in third row

The pattern followed here is:

In second column, 

⇒ 7 + 3³ 

⇒ 7 + 27 = 34 

In third column, 

⇒ 11 + 4³ 

⇒ 11 + 64 = 75

Similarly, in first column,

⇒ 4 + 5³ 

⇒ 4 + 125 = 129

Thus, the value of '?' is 129.

Hence, 'option 2' is the correct answer.

We apply each option to the given equation and solve it using the BODMAS rule:

Option 1)  × and +

38 ÷  19 + 11 - 357 × 17 = 226

2 + 11 - 357  ×  17 = 226

2 + 11 - 6069  = 226

13 - 6069  = 226

6056 ≠ 226

Option 2) - and ÷ 

38 - 19 × 11 ÷  357 + 17 = 226

38 -  19 × 0.03  + 17 = 226

38 - 0.5  + 17 = 226

55 - 0.5  = 226

54.5 ≠ 226

Option 3) ÷  and +

38 + 19 × 11 - 357 ÷ 17 = 226

38 + 19 × 11 - 21 = 226

38 + 209  - 21 = 226

247 - 21  = 226

226 = 226

Option 4) × and ÷ 

38 ÷  19 - 11 × 357 + 17 = 226

2 - 11 × 357 + 17 = 226

2  - 3927  + 17 = 226

19 - 3927 = 226

-3908 ≠ 226

Hence the correct answer is option 3)

From the given information:

'A + B' means 'A is husband of B'.

'A - B' means 'A is mother of B'.

'A × B' means 'A is brother of B'.

We substitute the values ​​in the given equation and build a tree using the symbols:

Z × C + T – H × P + Q: Z is brother of C, C is husband of T, T is mother of H, H is brother of P, P is husband of Q.

From the diagram we can see that C is the father of P.

Hence  , the correct answer is option 2)

From the given information, we compare the lines and their codes:

 from the first line we get 'we' coded as 'da', in the second line 'happy' is coded as 'sa' and 'were' is coded in the fourth line as 'ka'. 

So the option with da, sa and ka is option 3.

Hence  , the correct answer is option 3)

According to the English alphabets and their positional values:

The pattern followed in the given options is:

  The alphabets are increased by 4 positional values.

     

Hence the correct answer is option 3)

From the information given:

The weight of H is 3 times the weight of K.

       H = 3K

The weight of G is 7.5 kg.

       G = 7.5 kg

The weight of E is twice the weight of F.

        E = 2F

The weight of K is 4 times the weight of G.

        K = 4G 

        K = 4×(7.5)

        K = 30 kg

Since H = 3K therefore H = 3 × 30 = 90 kg 

If the weights of F and G are equal,

        G = F = 7.5 kg 

        E = 2F = 2×7.5 = 15 kg 

So the second heaviest object is K (30 kg).

Hence the correct answer is option 2)

We unfold the paper step by step:

 

Now we compare the given options with the pattern:

Option 1) The pattern matches completely.

Option 2) The position of triangles is incorrect.

Option 3) The pattern is asymmetrical.

Option 4) The shaded arrows are wrongly positioned.

Hence the correct answer is option 1)

According to the English alphabets and their positional values:

The pattern followed in the given options is:

  The alphabets are increased to 6 positional values.

Similarly,

Hence the correct answer is option 2.

We consider the given options and check whether they are correct or not:

Option 1) Q > U    We have U = R and R < Q which means U < Q. This option is correct.

Option 2) G > H   We have G = D and D > H which means G > H. This option is correct.

Option 3) A < G   We have G = D and D > H > A which means G > H > A .i.e. G > A. This option is correct.

Option 4) Z = Q  We have Z = U = R and R < Q which means Z < Q. This option is incorrect.

Hence the correct answer is option 4.

According to the English alphabets and their positional values:

The pattern followed in the given options is:

So DTGC is the odd one.

Hence the correct answer is option 1.
