Reasoning PYQs

The logical and meaningful order of the given words is:

2. Silk moth
3. Silk fabric
4. Stitching
5. Garment
6. Wearing

So the correct order is 2, 4, 5, 1, 3. It is the arrangement of words according to the process of making a garment from the initial step.

Hence the correct answer is option 1.

According to the English alphabets and their positional values:

The pattern followed in the given series is:

The alphabets are increased to 4 positional values and the code is arranged backwards.

Similarly,

Hence the correct answer is option 2.

From the given information:

'A @ B' means 'A is the son of B'

'A $ B' means ‘A is the sister of B'

Now we consider each option and draw a tree to check the given condition using the symbols:

Option 1) G @ K $ M : G is the son of K, K is the sister of M

  

 M is K's sister.

Option 2) K @ G $ M : K is the son of G, G is the sister of M.

 

M is K's mother's sister.

Option 3) M @ G $ K : M is the son of G, G is the sister of K.

  

M is K's sister's son.

Option 4) M $ G @ K : M is the sister of G, G is the son of K

   

M is K's son's sister.

Hence the correct answer is option 3$.

Mistake Points Given, B is sitting in the South, so Make the arrangement according to this, Take B as in South Direction and put the remaining friends in an Anticlockwise (Reverse) Direction.

From the given information, we place them anticlockwise in the same sequence around a circular table at equal distances facing the centre.

 Reverse order anticlockwise=Forward order clockwise

Now we interchange C and H, with B sitting in the south direction.

 

From the diagram we can see that H is facing in north-west direction.

Hence the correct answer is option 2.

From the given information:

Step 1: N is between M and J. N is to the immediate left of J.

We place N to the left of J and them place M neighboring N.

Step 2: P is second to the left of K. O is between Q and P. L is second to right of O.

 We place K near M and then place P to second right. Now we place O and Q according to the condition.

In last we place L on the only spot left and it fulfils the given condition.

From the pattern we can see that M is sitting third to the right of P.

Hence the correct answer is option 1.

From the given statements, the Venn diagram is:

Now we consider the given

Conclusions:

I. Some students are teachers → Follow → As all teachers are student it is very obvious that some students are teachers, thus the conclusion follows.

II. No student is a doctor → Does not Follow → We have 'all teachers are students', 'all principal are teachers' and 'some principals are doctors' so there is an indirect relation between students and doctors which can be also seen in the diagram and therefore the conclusion does not follow.

III. Some students are principals → Follow → As the information and the diagram we can see students and principals are related & it is safe t say that some students are principals so the conclusion follows.

So only conclusion I and III follow.

Hence the correct answer is option 3)

We assign a shape to each activity, music is represented as pentagon, skit is represented as circle and dance is represented as square.

Now we draw a diagram with the given information:

 

                

We have to find out the number of employees participating in skit and skit is represented by circle so we count the total number in the circle,

   Total number of employees in circle(skit) = 14 + 15 +12 + 8 = 49 

Hence the correct answer is option 2

From the given information:

We have to find out girls are toppers but do NOT use mobile phones i.e. common region of pentagon and circle but not square. 

From the diagram the only common region of pentagon and circle is marked 27.

Hence the correct answer is option 3)

The mirror image of the given pattern is:

Now we consider the options:

Option 1) The letter 'g' is inverted.

Option 2) The letter 'g' is inverted.

Option 3) The pattern matches completely.

Option 4) The letter 'R' is inverted.

Hence the correct answer is option 3)

We compare the given figure with the options:

Option 1) 

The figure cannot be embedded.

Option 2)

 The figure cannot be embedded.

Option 3) 

The figure cannot be embedded.

Option 4) 

The figure can be embedded.

Hence the correct answer is option 4)

The pattern followed in the given series is:

  The difference between two consecutive terms is a cube of an odd number.

Hence the correct answer is option 3)

According to the English alphabets and their positional values:

​

The pattern followed in the given series is:

  The alphabets with 2 digit positional values are coded as sum of the digits and the alphabets with 1 digit positional value are coded as it is.

Similarly,

Hence the correct answer is option 2)

According to the English alphabets and their positional values:

​

The pattern followed in the given series is:

   First alphabet is increased to 3, second is increased to 4 and third is increased to 5 positional values.

Hence the correct answer is option 1)

According to the English alphabets and their positional values:

The pattern followed in the given series is:

  The consonants are increased to 1 positional values.

  The vowels are decreased to 1 positional values.

Similarly,

Hence the correct answer is option 2)

From the information we draw a tree using the symbols:

Rohan and Sunil are brothers and Akriti and Beenu are sisters.If Sunil’s son is Beenu’s brother,

Rohan is uncle of Sunil's son.

Hence the correct answer is option 1)

We substitute the given sequence in each option and solve using BODMAS rule:

Option 1) 45 + 15 ÷ 5 - 5 × 5 = 18  

                45 + 3 - 5 × 5 = 18

                45 + 3 - 25 = 18

                48 - 25 = 18

                23 ≠ 18

Option 2) 60 + 15 ÷ 5 - 7 × 5 = 25

                60 + 3 - 7 × 5 = 25

                60 + 3 - 35 = 25

                63 - 35 = 25

                28 ≠ 25

Option 3) 45 + 24 ÷ 8 - 7 × 5 = 23

                45 + 3 - 7 × 5 = 23

                45 + 3 - 35 = 23

                48 - 35 = 23

                13 ≠ 23

Option 4) 45 + 15 ÷ 5 - 7 × 5 = 13

                45 + 3 - 7 × 5 = 13

                45 + 3 - 35 = 13

                48 - 35 = 13

                13 = 13

Hence the correct answer is option 4)

Explanation:

1. K plays Cricket.

2) M does not play Hockey, Badminton or Volleyball so M plays Football.

3) L and O does not play Badminton which means N plays Badminton.

4. L does not play Hockey and Badminton which means O plays Hockey

4) The only sport left is Volleyball and only person left is L and thus L plays Volleyball.

Volleyball is played by L.

Hence, the correct answer is "L".

The pattern followed in the given table is:

   (First term)² - (Second term)² = Third term

Now we apply the pattern on each column:

Column 1) (12)² - (8)² = 80

                   144 - 64 = 80

                   80 = 80

Column 2) (15)2 - (7)2 = 176

                   225 - 49 = 176

                   176 = 176

Column 3) (?)2 - (11)2 = 240

                   (?)2 - 121 = 240

                   (?)2 = 240 + 121 

                   (?)2  = 361 

                   (?)2  = (19)<sup>2

                         </sup>Answer = 19

Hence the correct answer is option 4)

From the given statements, the Venn diagram is:

1. All apples are mangoes.

2. Some bananas are mangoes.

Conclusion:

I. Some mangoes are bananas → Follow → As some bananas are mangoes which can be said vice versa and in the diagram we can see that some mangoes are related to bananas and thus the conclusion follows.

II. Some mangoes are apples → Follow →  As all apples are mangoes. So, some mangoes are apple is definite true.

III. No mango is an apple → Does not Follow → As 'all apples are mangoes' which means there have to be some mangoes that are apples and thus the conclusion does not follow.

So only conclusion I and II follow.

Hence the correct answer is option 2)

We use hit and trial method and check whether it satisfies the given condition:

First we take 6,

Double of it's cube is : 216 × 2 = 432

Now, 432 + 6 = 1467

 438 ≠ 1467

Since 438 is not very close to 1467 we take a higher number than 6.

Now we consider 7, 

Double of it's cube is : 343 × 2 = 686 

Now, 686 + 7 = 1467

 693 ≠ 1467

We keep repeating the step till we get close to the answer.

Now 8,

Double of it's cube is : 512 × 2 = 1024 

Now, 1024 + 8 = 1467

 1032 ≠ 1467

Now we take 9, 

Double of it's cube is : 729 × 2 = 1458 

Now, 1458 + 9 = 1467

 1467 = 1467

Hence the correct answer is option 2)
