Reasoning PYQs

Given :-  A _ _ BCD_ AB_ _ DAA _ _ CDA _ _ BCD

Let's check every option

Option(1)

ABBBCD / BABABD / AABCCD / AABBCD

Option(2)

AACBCD / BABBAD / AABBCD / AABBCD

Option(3)

AABBCD  / AABBCD / AABBCD / AABBCD

Option(4)

ABABCD / BABABD / AAABCD / ACBBCD

From the above, only in option(3),is there is are a repetition of the series 'ABABCBBAB'

Hence, the correct answer is option(3)

Given :-  ‘CANDIDATE’= ‘DNACIETAD

                ‘FERMENTED’ = '?'

‘CANDIDATE’= ‘DNACIETAD

‘FERMENTED’ = '?'

Therefore, '?' will be replaced by 'MREFEDETN'

Hence, the correct answer is option(2) 'MREFEDETN'

Given :-  Sheena’s roll number is 8^th from the top and Sushmit’s roll number is 11^th from the bottom. If there are nine students between them.

Number of students till Sheena's roll number = 8

Number of students from Sushmit's roll number to the end = 11

Number of students between Sheena's roll number and Sushmit's roll number = 9

Total number of students = 8 + 11 + 9 = 28

Therefore, the total number of students in the class is '28'.

Hence, the correct answer is option 1).

We consider the given terms:

1. Megabyte : 1 Megabyte = 1024 Kilobyte
2. Petabyte : 1 Petabyte = 10⁸ Kilobyte
3. Terabyte : 1 Terabyte = 10⁵ Kilobyte
4. Kilobit : 1 Kilobit = 0.125 Kilobyte

We can see that kilobit is the only digital storage value that is less than 1 kilobyte so it is the odd one.

Hence the correct answer is option 4)

Given :- 

The flag of Argentina was to the left of Portugal’s bi-colour and to the right of the flag of France.

The flag of England was to the right of the Portugal flag but to the left of the flag of Germany, which was to the left of the flag of Spain.

From the given information, following arrangement is made,

FRANCE- ARGENTINA- PORTUGAL-ENGLAND- GERMANY-SPAIN

Portugal and England is in the center.

Hence, the correct answer is option(2), Portugal and England.

According to the English alphabets and their positional values:

In the given series the pattern followed is:

  The vowels are arranged first in reverse order and then the consonants are arranged according to the English alphabets. 

Similarly,

Hence the correct answer is option 3)

Given:- 83, 74, 66, 59, 53, ?, 44, 41

Here, the following pattern is followed

For every next number of the series, there is a reduction in decreasing order starting from 9.

Therefore, the '?' will be replaced by '48'

Hence, the correct answer is option(4)

The 4 directions are as follows

Since Palak and Leela meets in the morning that means the sun would be in east and the Leela's shadow in the west. And that Leela's shadow is in the Palak's right, this means that Palak is moving in the south direction

Hence, the correct answer is option(4): South.

Here, the following pattern is followed. There is an addition of arrow in every next stage of the figure and the arrows change its direction, firstly clockwise and then anti - clockwise.

So, the figure will have 5 arrows and moving in a clockwise direction.

Only option(3) has 5 arrows and that to moving in a clockwise. 

Hence, the correct answer is option(3)

Given 

Row1 : 6, 3, 5, 30

Row2 : 1, 4, 3, 4

Row3 : 9, 2, 4, ? 

Here, the following pattern is used

(first number × second number × third number ) ÷ 3 = fourth number

Row 1.  6, 3, 5, 30

=(6 × 3 × 5 ) ÷ 3 

= 90 ÷ 3

= 30(fourth number)

Row 2. 1, 4, 3, 4

=(1 × 4 × 3) ÷ 3

= 12 ÷ 3

= 4(fourth number)

Row 3.  9, 2, 4, ? 

=( 9 × 2 × 4 ) ÷ 3

=  72 ÷ 3

= 24(fourth number)

Therefore, '?' will be replaced by '24'

Hence, the correct answer is option(2), '24'.

1. Here, Hindi and English are two Languages. It means that Hindi and English are sub set of a super set i.e. Languages. Therefore, the diagram will be :

2. Hindi, English, Spanish are three different Languages. Therefore, the diagram given in this question does not represent this relationship.

3. Languages, Social Sciences, Scientists are three entirely different categories. Therefore, the diagram given in this question does not represent this relationship.

4. Television, Refrigerators, Fans are three different electrical appliances. Therefore, the diagram given in this question does not represent this relationship.

Hence, Hindi, English, Languages is the correct answer.

This is a Venn diagram based question. According to the question,

Total no. of students = 80

Total no. of students passed in Chemistry = 24

Total no. of students passed in Physics = 35

Total no. of students passed in Mathematics = 29

No. of students who did not appear for the examination = 8 (say p)

No. of students who passed in all the three subjects = 2 (say x)

No. of students who passed in Physics and Chemistry both but not in Mathematics = 2 (say y)

No. of students who passed in Chemistry and Mathematics both but not in Physics = 2 (say z)

No. of students who passed in Physics and Mathematics both but not in Chemistry = 8 (say a)

Therefore,

No. of students who passed in Mathematics only = 29 - (x + z + a) = 29 - (2 + 2 + 8) = 17 (say d)

No. of students who passed in Chemistry only = 24 - (x + z + y) = 24 - (2 + 2 + 2) = 18 (say b)

No. of students who passed in Physics only = 35 - (x + y + a) = 35 - (2 + 2 + 8) = 23 (say c)

The logical Venn diagram is :

Hence, 17 is the correct answer.

In the given figures, color of triangle changes to shaded and non shaded alternately.

Thus, options 1 and 2 get eliminated.

The small circle is moving up and down on the left side of the square.

Thus, we can eliminate option 4 which has the small circle on the upper side of the square.

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.

1. N is to the immediate right of K.

2. N is at second place to the right of M. 

3. L is to the immediate left of M.

So, O sits between N and L.

Hence, "Between N and L" is the correct answer.

The pattern followed here is

4⁴ + 3⁴ = 256 + 81 = 337

3⁴ + 5⁴ = 81 + 625 = 706

6⁴ + 3⁴ = 1296 + 81 = 1377

Hence, 1377 is the correct answer.

Here, one word is part of another in the following way:

A room is a part of a flat, a flat is a part of a building, a building is a part of a city and a city is a part of a country. 

The logical Venn diagram for this meaningful order is given below

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

 

The given pair of words can be arranged in increasing order of size.

Room < Flat < Building < City < Country

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

The years which are multiple of 400 have 0 odd days.

So, No. of odd days in 2000 = 0

No. of odd days in 2001 = 1 (Non leap year)

No. of odd days in 2002 = 1 (Non leap year)

No. of odd days in 2003 = 1 (Non leap year)

No. of odd days in 2004 = 2 (Leap year)

Total no. of days in from 1^st January 2005 to 15^th September 2005 = (31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 15) = 258 = 36 weeks and 6 odd days

Total no. of odd days = 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 6 = 11 = 1 week and 4 odd days

Therefore, No. of odd days = 4 which is the code for Thursday.

So, 15^th September 2005 was Thursday.

Hence, Thursday is the correct answer.

The pattern followed here is

32 × 2 + 1 = 65

65 × 2 + 2 = 132

132 × 2 + 3 = 267

267 × 2 + 4 = 538

Hence, 65 is the correct answer.

The mirror image is :

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.

Given statements are N > H > Q = X and H = F = C < T

Combining the statements we get

N > H = F = C > Q = X

OR, T > H = F = C > Q = X (Because relation between N and T is not defined)

1. C < X (False, N > H = F = C > Q = X ⇒ C > X)

2. Q < C (True, N > H = F = C > Q = X)

3. H < T (True, T > H = F = C > Q = X)

4. N > X (True, N > H = F = C > Q = X)

Hence, C < X is the correct answer.
