Reasoning PYQs

BODMAS rule:

First we will check all the options as:

1) ×, -, +, ÷

Applying the signs, we will get,

⇒ 7 × 3 - 4 + 12 ÷ 6 = 19

Applying the BODMAS rule, we will get,

⇒ 7 × 3 - 4 + 2 = 19

⇒ 21 - 4 + 2 = 19

⇒ 19 = 19, is possible

2) ÷, ×, +, -

Applying the signs, we will get,

⇒ 7 ÷ 3 × 4 + 12 - 6 = 19

Applying the BODMAS rule, we will get,

⇒ 2.33 × 4 + 12 - 6 = 19

⇒ 9.32 + 12 - 6 = 19

⇒ 15.32 ≠ 19, is not possible

3) -, ×, +, ÷

Applying the signs, we will get,

⇒ 7 - 3 × 4 + 12 ÷ 6 = 19

Applying the BODMAS rule, we will get,

⇒ 7 - 3 × 4 + 2 = 19

⇒ 7 - 12 + 2 = 19

⇒ -3 ≠ 19, is not possible

4) +, ÷, ×, -

Applying the signs, we will get,

⇒ 7 + 3 ÷ 4 × 12 - 6 = 19

Applying the BODMAS rule, we will get,

⇒ 7 + 0.75 × 12 - 6 = 19

⇒ 7 + 9 - 6 = 19

⇒ 10 ≠19, is not possible

Thus, the combination of signs '×, -, +, ÷' placed in the given blanks will make the equation correct.

Hence, the correct answer is 'option 1'.

Given: K18A4R2TE23N

If the second half of the given series is reversed,

1^st Half

K18A4R2TE23N

              2^nd Half

After reversed the second half we get:

⇒ K18A4RN32ET2

Then first quarter of the new series is placed at the end

⇒ A4RN32ET2K18

Clearly, we can can 2E is in the middle.

Hence, the correct answer is "2E".

The arrangement of the given words in a logical and meaningful order will be:

5) First we need to Buy vegetables.

1. Then we need to wash them so that they are Clean.

2. Once the vegetables are wash we will start cutting the vegetables to Cook them.

3. Then we will Serve this food.

4. At last we can Eat it.

Thus, the correct order of words will be '5, 1, 2, 4, 3'

Hence, the correct answer is 'option 1'.

BODMAS rule:

First we will check all the options as:

1) - and ×

Applying the signs we will get,

⇒ 22 × 16 ÷ (3 - 4) + 6 = 8

Applying the BODMAS rule, we will get,

⇒ 22 × 16 ÷ (-1) + 6 = 8

⇒ 22 × (-16) + 6 = 8

⇒ 352 + 6 = 8

⇒ 358 ≠ 8, is not possible

2) ÷ and ×

Applying the signs we will get,

⇒ 22 - 16 × (3 ÷ 4) + 6 = 8 

Applying the BODMAS rule, we will get,

⇒ 22 - 16 × (0.75) + 6 = 8

⇒ 22 - 12 + 6 = 8

⇒ 16 ≠ 8, is not possible

3) ÷ and +

Applying the signs we will get,

⇒ 22 - 16 + (3 × 4) ÷ 6 = 8 

Applying the BODMAS rule, we will get,

⇒ 22 - 16 + (12) ÷ 6 = 8

⇒ 22 - 16 + 2 = 8 

⇒ 8 = 8, is possible

4) - and +

Applying the signs we will get,

⇒ 22 + 16 ÷ (3 × 4) - 6 = 8 

Applying the BODMAS rule, we will get,

⇒ 22 + 16 ÷ 12 - 6 = 8

⇒ 22 + 1.33 - 6 = 8

⇒ 17.33 ≠ 8, is not possible

Thus, two signs '÷ and +' should be interchanged to make the following equation correct.

Hence, the correct answer is 'option 3'.

The logic here is:

All the inner symbols are moving in clockwise direction.

 - Moves one step in clockwise direction and another step in anticlockwise direction and this is repeated.

 

Similarly all the symbols which are inside the circle follow this pattern.

And,

 - Moves ones step in clockwise direction and as we go ahead the step also increases by one.

Similarly all the letters which are outside the circle follow this pattern.

Thus, the next image will be:

Hence, the correct answer is 'option 4'.

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

Next, we will check all the conclusion as below:

I. No gentlemen is rich → Not follow → Since it is given in the statement that few gentlemen are rich.

II. Few gentlemen being fools is a possibility → Follow → Since it is given that few gentlemen are not fools and this means that few are fools is a possibility.

III. No one is both a fool and rich → Not follows → Since it is given that everyone is either a fool or rich but not both.

 

Thus, only conclusion II follows.

Hence, the correct answer is 'option 2'.

The least possible Venn diagram as:

Conclusion:

I. No professional is smart →Does not Follow → As all males are smart and some males are professionals. Thus, no professionals is smart is not possible. This conclusion is not true.

II. Some professionals are professors →Does not Follow → As all professors are males and some males are professionals. Thus, some professionals are professors is not possible. This conclusion is not true.

III. Some smart are professionals → Follow → As all males are smart and some males are professionals. Thus, some smart are professionals is possible. This conclusion is true.

IV. Some professors are smart → Follow → As all professors are males and all males are smart. Thus, some professors are smart is possible. This conclusion is true.

Thus, both conclusions III and IV follow.

Hence, the correct answer is 'option 4'

Here, the correct order of the given words as they would appear in an English dictionary will be:

2. Fracture
3. Fragile
4. Fragment
5. Fraud
6. Fridge

Thus, the arrangement in alphabetic order is '2, 1, 4, 3, 5'.

Hence, the correct answer is 'option 1'.

Here, the logic used is:

Logic → First number : (First number)² + First number + 1

So, for the given we have,

7 : 57 → 7 : 7² + 7 + 1 = 57

Similarly for the missing number,

13 : ?  → 13 : 132 + 13 + 1 = 169 + 13 + 1 = 183

Thus, the missing number is 183.

Hence, the correct answer is 'option 1'.

Here, we are given a group of 10 students are sitting in a row according to their age.

According the given statement, we have:

Thus, there are 3 students are sitting between them.

Hence, the correct answer is 'option 4'.

The pattern here follows is,

The series follows the pattern of prime numbers between the numbers.

      Note:

• Prime Number, is the number that can be divided only by one and itself. For example, 3, 5, 17, 37.
• 2' is the only even prime number.

Hence, the correct answer is '64'.

The logic here is:

(2, 8, 20) :

(7, 12, 22) :

Similarly for finding the missing value, we have:

(33, 42, ?): 

Thus, the missing number is 60.

Hence, the correct answer is 'option 3'.

Given, equation

19 + 27 – 4 ÷ 2 × 3 = 20

Let's check all the options,

1. ÷ and ×; 19 and 27

⇒ 27 + 19 – 4 × 2 ÷ 3 = 20

⇒ 19 + 27 – 4 × 0.66  = 20

⇒ 19 + 27 – 2.64 = 20

⇒ 46 – 2.64 = 20

⇒ 43.36 ≠ 20

2. – and ÷; 4 and 3

⇒ 19 + 27 ÷ 3 – 2 × 4 = 20

⇒ 19 + 9 – 2 × 4 = 20

⇒ 19 + 9 – 8 = 20

⇒ 28 – 8 = 20

⇒ 20 = 20

3. • and ×; 3 and 2

⇒ 19 × 27 – 4 ÷ 3 + 2 = 20

⇒ 19 × 27 – 1.33 + 3 = 20

⇒ 513 – 1.33 + 3 = 20

⇒ 511.67 + 3 = 20

⇒ 514.67 ≠ 20

4. – and +; 27 and 2

⇒ 19 – 2 + 4 ÷ 27 × 3 = 20

⇒ 19 – 27 + 0.15 × 3 = 20

⇒ 19 – 27 + 0.45 = 20

⇒ –8 + 0.45 = 20

⇒ –7.55 ≠ 20

Hence, the correct answer is option 2.

The position of the letters according to the English alphabet series:

The logic followed here is,

• The consonants are coded as +1 alphabet.
• The vowels are coded as the previous vowel.
• A → E → I → O → U

The word, TAP is written as UUQ

In the dame way word BEEP is written as CAAQ

Similarly, the word LOW will be written as MIX

Hence, the correct answer is 'MIX'

The position of the letters according to the English alphabet series:

The logic here followed is,

The second letter cluster is arranged in decreasing order of the letter's positional value with respect to first letter-cluster

• LATYE ⇒  L=12, A=1, T=20, Y=25, E=5

          Here, Y > T > L > E > A.

          LATYE : YTLEA 

• Similarly, NETAEO ⇒ N = 14, E = 5, T = 20, A = 1, E = 5, O = 15

          Here, T > O > N > E > E > A.

          NETAEO : TONEEA

Hence, the correct answer is TONEEA.

Because All family are society, and all society are Human beings.

Option 1: All the circles are not in relation to each other.

Option 2: Do not follow the Venn diagram.

Option 4: Do not follow the Venn diagram.

Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

The position of the letters according to the English alphabet series:

The letters are replaced by the place value of the reverse letter and then numbers are added together, then the value obtained is added by 5, and we obtain the code

In the word, RUBBER is coded as 101.

 

In the same way, the word JELLY is coded as 76

Similarly, the word LABEL is coded as,

 

Hence, the correct answer is '108'.

The arrangement of the given word in the order in which they appear in the English dictionary is as followed:

Seven people went to the restaurant, A, B, C, D, E, F, and G, and paid different bill amounts.

• ___ > ___ > ___ > ___ > ___ > ___ > ____ .
• D paid the highest amount, and E paid the least amount

           D  > ___ > ___ > ___ > ___> ___ > E  . 

• If G paid more than two persons in the group

           D  > ___ > ___ > ___ > G > ___ > E  .

• F paid more than A. B paid less than A. ⇒ F > A > B

           D  >  F  >  A  >  B  > G > ___ > E  .

• C paid more than only E

           D  >  F  >  A  >  B  > G >  C  > E  .

According, to the arrangement.

Statement 1: F paid less than D but more than C ⇒ True

Statement 2: A was among the lowest four payers ⇒ False (A is the third highest payer.)

Statement 3: G paid more than E but less than C ⇒ False (G paid more than C and E)

Statement 4: B paid less than D and G ⇒ False (B paid less than D but more than G)

Hence, the correct answer is option 1.

The pattern followed in the given series is:

   When all the terms are added in the cluster, the difference between the clusters = 99.
