Reasoning PYQs

The logic followed here is :-

Sum of given numbers in brackets = 30

• (17, 9, 4) → 17 + 9 + 4 = 30

And

• (14, 3, 13) → 14 + 3 + 13 = 30

Similarly,

• (13, ?, 7)

Consider ? as X

(13, X, 7)

⇒ 13 + X + 7 = 30

⇒ 20 + X = 30

⇒ X = 10

Hence, the correct answer is "10".

The logic followed here is:

Sum of given numbers in brackets = 20​

• (9, 9, 2) → 9 + 9 + 2 = 20

And

• (4, 8, 8) → 4 + 8 + 8 = 20

Similarly,

• (8, __, 1)

Consider __ as X

(8, X, 1)

⇒ 8 + X + 1 = 20

⇒ 9 + X = 20

⇒ X = 11

Hence, the correct answer is "11".

The logic followed here is :-

Sum of opposite alphabet positional value +1.

PHONE is coded as 78.

= (11 + 19 + 12 + 13 + 22) + 1

= 77 + 1

= 78

And

MOON is coded as 52.

= (14 + 12 + 12 + 13) + 1

= 51 + 1

= 52

Similarly,

PLAN will be coded as :

= (11 + 15 + 26 + 13) + 1

= 65 + 1

= 66

Hence, the correct answer is "66".

The logic followed here is :-

\({\sqrt[3]{First number}}\) + \({\sqrt{Second number}}\) = First number + Second number = Third number

Row 1 : 

= \({\sqrt[3]{125}}\) + \({\sqrt{25}}\)

= 5 + 5

= 10

Row 2 : 

 

= \({\sqrt[3]{216}}\) + \({\sqrt{49}}\)

= 6 + 7

= 13

Row 3 :

 

= \({\sqrt[3]{27}}\) + \({\sqrt{121}}\)

= 3 + 11

= 14

Hence, the correct answer is "14".

The logic followed here is :-

⇒ Horse E is ahead of horse D.

E > D

⇒ Horse C is ahead of horse A but behind of horse B.

B > C > A

⇒ Horse A is ahead of horse E.

A > E

By combining above three statements the relation formed is :

B > C > A > E > D

At a point , horse at the fourth place cross all the horse and won the race.

Horse at fourth place is : E

E > B > C > A > D

∴ Here, the horse that is middle at end of race is 'horse C'.

Hence, the correct answer is "C".

The logic followed here is :-

Given series : A U R R G H R S W C G I O P D S Q T  

Total 18 letters are there in given series.

First half of given letters are : A U R R G H R S W

After reversing the first half of given series the series is as follows : W S R H G R R U A C G I O P D S Q T

The letter 8^th from right end is : W S R H G R R U A C G I O P D S Q T

⇒ The letter which is third to left of letter which eight from right end of series formed is : W S R H G R R U A C G I O P D S Q T

Hence, the correct answer is "U".

The logic followed here is :-

A cyclist travels towards the east for 2 km and then turns left to travel 1 km. From there, he turns left and travels another 800 metres to reach a tea junction. After a short break, he turns towards the south and travels for 500 metres. From there, he turns right and travels for 1.2 km. Finally, he tums right and travels for 1 km.

∴ Here, Cyclist is in 'north' with respect to his starting position.

Hence, the correct answer is "North".

The logic followed here is :-

By using BODMAS RULE :

Option 1) : 12 + 8 × 9 + (24 ÷ 5 + 8) - 7 = 35

After interchanging the signs × and ÷  and the numbers 12 and 9 the equation is as follows : 9 + 8 ÷ 12 + (24 × 5 + 8) - 7 = 35

⇒ 9 + 8 ÷ 12 + (24 × 5 + 8) - 7 = 35

⇒ 9 + 8 ÷ 12 + (120 + 8) - 7 = 35

⇒ 9 + 8 ÷ 12 + 128 - 7 = 35

⇒ 9 + 0.66 + 128 - 7 = 35

⇒ 137.66 - 7 = 35

⇒ 130.66 ≠ 35

LHS ≠ RHS

Option 2) : 9 × 17 + 5 (24 ÷ 9) - 12 = 46

After interchanging the signs × and ÷  and the numbers 12 and 9 the equation is as follows : 12 ÷ 17 + 5 (24 × 12) - 9 = 46

⇒ 12 ÷ 17 + 5 (24 × 12) - 9 = 46

⇒ 12 ÷ 17 + 5 (288) - 9 = 46

⇒ 12 ÷ 17 + 1440 - 9 = 46

⇒ 0.705 + 1440 - 9 = 46

⇒ 1440.705 - 9 = 46

⇒ 1431.705 ≠ 46

LHS ≠ RHS

Option 3) : 14 ÷ 2 + 10 (12 - 6) × 9 = 37

After interchanging the signs × and ÷  and the numbers 12 and 9 the equation is as follows : 14 × 2 + 10 (9 - 6) ÷ 12 = 37

⇒ 14 × 2 + 10 (9 - 6) ÷ 12 = 37

⇒ 14 × 2 + 10 (3) ÷ 12 = 37

⇒ 14 × 2 + 30 ÷ 12 = 37

⇒ 14 × 2 + 2.5 = 37

⇒ 28 + 2.5 = 37

⇒ 30.5 ≠ 37

LHS ≠ RHS

Option 4) : 10 + 2 ÷ 3 + (24 × 9 + 8) - 12 = 17

After interchanging the signs × and ÷  and the numbers 12 and 9 the equation is as follows : 10 + 2 × 3 + (24 ÷ 12 + 8) - 9 = 17

⇒ 10 + 2 × 3 + (24 ÷ 12 + 8) - 9 = 17

⇒ 10 + 2 × 3 + (2 + 8) - 9 = 17

⇒ 10 + 2 × 3 + 10 - 9 = 17

⇒ 10 + 6 + 10 - 9 = 17

⇒ 26 - 9 = 17

⇒ 17 = 17

LHS = RHS

Hence, the correct answer is "10 + 2 ÷ 3 + (24 × 9 + 8) - 12 = 17".

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as shown below :

Conclusions:

I. Some zones are districts → True (As Some districts are zones so, Some zones are districts is true)

II. Some districts are cities → False (As No city is a district so, Some districts are cities is false)

lII. No state is a zone → False (As Some zones are states so, No state is a zone is false)

∴ Here, Only conclusion I is true.

Hence, the correct answer is "Only conclusion I follows".

The logic followed here is :-

First number + Second number² = Third number 

• (5, 2, 9) → 5 + 2² = 5 + 4 = 9
• (13, 5, 38) → 13 + 5² = 13 + 25 = 38
• (14, 3, ?) → 14 + 3² = 14 + 9 = 23

Hence, the correct answer is "23".

The words given represents the germination process of fruit from seed step by step.

Seed → Germination → Plant → Flower → Fruit

3. Seed 
4. Germination
5. Plant
6. Flower
7. Fruit

The seed sown will germinate and plant grows, the flower will flourish then fruits are obtained from flowers.

Hence, the correct answer is "3, 2, 1, 5, 4".

Family chart :-

Family Tree :

1) A is the son of C, but C is not the mother of A and B is A’s sister.

 

2) C and D are a married couple and E is the mother of C. 

∴ Here, 'D' is mother of 'A'.

Hence, the correct answer is "D".

The logic followed here is :-

First number³ + First number² = Second number

5 : 150 → 5³ + 5² = 125 + 25 = 150

Similarly,

8 : ? → 8³ + 8² = 512 + 64 = 576

Hence, the correct answer is "576".
