Reasoning PYQs

According to the English alphabets and their positional values:

The pattern followed in the given series is:

  The alphabets at odd places are increased to 5 positional values.

  The alphabets at even places are decreased to 5 positional values.

  

Hence the correct answer is option 1)

The pattern followed in the given options is:

Option 1) 

Option 2)

Option 3) 

Option 4) 

So option 2) is the odd one.

Hence the correct answer is option 2)

From the given words:

Human Beings, Men, Doctors.

We know that both men and doctors are human beings, also men can be doctors and doctors can be men.

Now we compare the diagram with the given options.

Since option 1 matches the Venn diagram.

Hence the correct answer is option 1)

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

Option 1) 11 and 3

24 ÷ 3 + 6 × 11 - 18 = 19

8 + 6 × 11 - 18 = 19

8 + 66 - 18 = 19

74 - 18 = 19

56 ≠ 19

Option 2) 24 and 18

18 ÷ 3 + 11 × 6 - 24 = 19

6 + 11 × 6 - 24 = 19

6 + 66 - 24 = 19

72 - 24 = 19

48 ≠ 19

Option 3) 3 and 18

24 ÷ 18 + 11 × 6 - 3 = 19

1.3 + 11 × 6 - 3 = 19

1.3 + 66 - 3 = 19

67.3 - 3 = 19

64.3 ≠ 19

Option 4) 3 and 6

24 ÷ 6 + 11 × 3 - 18 = 19

4 + 11 × 3 - 18 = 19

4 + 33 - 18 = 19

37 - 18 = 19

19 = 19

Hence the correct answer is option 4)

According to the English alphabets and their positional values:

The pattern followed in the given series is:

Reverse Value: VAIFULX

Reverse Value: GEPQJHQ

Similarly,

Reverse Value: JQMJXUO

Hence the correct answer is option 4)

The logic here is:

    

Thus, the missing number is 72.

Hence, the correct answer is 'option 3'.

From the given information:

Step 1: Yash starts walking from Point-A and walks 14 m towards the west, and then turns left and walks 20 m. After that, he turns right and walks 21 m to reach Point-C.

          

Step 2: Meeta starts walking from Point-B and walks 22 m towards the east, and then turns right and walks 20 m. After that, she turns left and walks 21 m to reach Point-C.

        

For the shortest distance between Point-A and Point-B via Point-C:

Hypotenuse = √(Base)² + (Perpendicular)²

From Point B to C,

Hypotenuse =  √(22 + 21)2 + (20)2

Hypotenuse = √(43)2 + (20)2

Hypotenuse = √1849 + 400   

Hypotenuse = √2249

Hypotenuse = 47.42

From Point C to A,

Hypotenuse =  √(14 + 21)2 + (20)2

Hypotenuse = √(35)2 + (20)2

Hypotenuse = √1225 + 400   

Hypotenuse = √1625

Hypotenuse = 40.31

The Total distnce from point A to Point B via Point C would be,

D = 40.31 + 47.42

         

The shortest distance between Point-A and Point-B via Point-C = 40.31 + 47.42 = 87.73 m.

Hence the correct answer is option 3)

Logic: Second number = First number x First number x 2

For the given 14 ∶ 392 → 14 \(\times\) 14 \(\times\) 2 = 392

Similarly for 21 : ? → 21 \(\times\) 21 \(\times\) 2 = 882

Thus, the missing number is 882.

Hence, the correct answer is 'option 1'.

Given: 

1. Here we see that, the 

 image is moving one step in right to left direction and then coming back from right to left. Same, for the images 

 and 

 . 

2. in the fig 2 we see that, all the three images are moving one step in right direction to left direction of fig 1

Hence, the correct answer is 'option 1'.

1. Here, we see that, each image in moving one step but in anticlockwise direction. Also, the image which is bottom left goes in the middle and the middle image goes to bottom right.

2. From fig 1 to fig 2 we get: The image image  

 is moved one step down in anticlockwise direction. Then, the image 

 has moved in middle and the middle image 

 moved in  bottom right. And so the other image 

 has moved at top right and last image 

 has moved top left. This is the way all the images are moving.

Hence, the correct answer is 'option 3'.

Arrange the given words in English dictionary order we will get,

4. Mammoth
5. Manager
6. Mandatory
7. Manuscript
8. Marvel

Thus, the order of the words is '4,1, 2, 3, 5'.

Hence, the correct answer is 'option 4'.

So, the arrangement of the following words in a logical and meaningful order will be:

5. First we see the biggest unit used is Kilometer for measuring long distances.

6. Then, we have 100 Meter used.

7. After that we use Meter to measure small distance or length between two things.

8. After that, we have Centimeter (1cm = 100 m) mostly used to measure very small distances.

9. Last we have Millimeter which is the smallest unit out the given units.

Thus, the order of the words is '5, 3, 1, 4, 2'.

Hence, the correct answer is 'option 4'.

Logic: Third number = First number × Second number × 2

For the given we have:

1^st row: (14, 7, 196) → 14 × 7 × 2 = 196

3^rd row: (21, 7, 294) → 21 × 7 × 2 = 294

Similarly for the 2^nd row, we have:

(15, 6, ?) → 15 × 6 × 2 = 180

Thus, the missing number is 180.

Hence, the correct answer is 'option 3'.

According to the given information, we will get the diagram as:

Thus, Sumit is facing in East direction. 

Hence, the correct answer is 'option 2'.

Here logic is to all the the terms and sum is 40.

Logic: 1^st number + 2^nd number + 3^rd number + 4^th number = 40

So, for the given numbers we have:

(15, 13, 10, 2) : 15 + 13 + 10 + 2 = 40

(20, 5, 4, 11) : 20 + 5 + 4 + 11 = 40

(13, 8, 13, 6) : 13 + 8 + 13 + 6 = 40

Similarly for

(7, 6, 2, ?) : 7 + 6 + 2 - 40 = 25

 

Thus, the missing number is 25.

Hence, the correct answer is 'option 4'.

According to the given statements, the Venn diagram will be:

Next, we will check all the conclusions as:

I. No table is a chair → Follow → Since given all tables are beds and no bed is chair. Thus, no table is a chair is true.

II. No cupboard is a table → Follow →  Since given all tables are beds and no bed is chair. Thus, no cupboard is a table is true.

III. Some beds are tables → Follow →  Since given all tables are beds and no bed is chair. Thus, some beds are tables is true.

Thus, all the conclusions follow.

Hence, the correct answer is 'option 4'.

The logic here is:

Thus, the missing number is 82.

Hence, the correct answer is 'option 3'.

The logic here is:

Thus, the missing number is 32.

Hence, the correct answer is 'option 4'

We know:

Now,

29 November 2010 ⇒ Monday,

29 November 2011 ⇒ Monday + 1 = Tuesday.

29 November 2012 ⇒ Tuesday + 2 (Leap Year) = Thursday.

29 November 2013 ⇒ Thursday + 1 = Friday.

29 November 2014 ⇒ Friday + 1 = Saturday.

29 November 2015 ⇒ Saturday + 1 = Sunday.

29 November 2016 ⇒ Sunday + 2 (Leap Year) = Tuesday.

29 November 2017 ⇒ Tuesday + 1 = Wednesday.

Hence, the correct answer is "Wednesday".

Alternate Method

As, we know that, the leap year has 2 odd days and ordinary year has only 1 odd day.

Since, all the odd days of the year from 2011 to 2017

= 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 9 days 

Thus, given 29^th Nov 2017 = Monday + 9 = Wednesday

Hence, the correct answer is 'option 4'.

As we know the directions,

 

According to the given statements, we have,

Thus, the direction is B's house with reference to A's house is West.

Hence, the correct answer is 'option 4'.
