Reasoning PYQs

The pattern followed here is :

Second number = The sum of square of digits of the first number.

4² + 5² = 16 + 25 = 41

Similarly,

Fourth number = The sum of square of digits of the third number.

2² + 7² = 4 + 49 = 53

Hence, 53 is the correct answer.

The pattern followed here is :

Hence, "ELVA" is the correct answer.

The pattern followed here is :

For single digit positional value, two is multiplied with the positional value.

For two digit positional value, digits are added. 

 

Similarly, 

Hence, 4103141834 is the correct answer.

The information given in the question is P and R do not learn Spanish. S learns French. P does not learn German.

The only language left for P is English. Therefore,

Hence, P is the correct answer.

24 students have scored more marks than Vineet.

Vineet < 24 students

19 students have scored lesser marks than Surbhi

19 students < Surbhi

Arti has scored more marks than Surbhi, but lesser marks than Vineeet.

Surbhi < Arti < Vineet

Arti has scored lesser marks than 29 students and more marks than 26 students.

26 students < Arti < 29 students

Therefore, 26 + 1 + 29 = 56

Hence, 56 is the correct answer.

The dictionary order is :

5. Senile,
6. Settee,
7. Settings,
8. Settle,
9. Settlement

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

The least possible Venn diagram is :

Conclusions:

1. All helicopters are scooters. → True (as shown in the diagram)
2. Some aero-planes are helicopters. → False (it is possible but not definite)
3. No aero-plane is helicopter. → False (it is possible but not definite)

Thus, conclusions 2 and 3 form a complementary pair.

Hence, "Conclusion 1 and either conclusion 2 or 3 follow" is the correct answer.

The information given in the question can be summarized with the help of following diagram :

Distance between A and D can be calculated using Pythagoras Theorem.

(Hypotenuse)² = (Base)² + (Height)²

(AC)² = (AD)² + (CD)²

130^{2 =} (AD)² + 120²

16900 = (AD)² + 14400

(AD)² = 16900 - 14400

(AD)² = 2500

AD = 50 m

Similarly, BD = 50 m

Therefore, AB = 100 m

Hence, 100 m is the correct answer.

Given expression is 63 D 7 B (9 A 4) A 24 C (264 D 88)

 

Replacing A with 'addition', B with 'multiplication', C with 'subtraction', D with 'division' and applying BODMAS Rule,

63 ÷ 7 × (9 + 4) + 24 - (264 ÷ 88)

= 63 ÷ 7 × 13 + 24 - 3

= 9 × 13 + 24 - 3

= 117 + 24 - 3

= 141 - 3

= 138

Hence, 138 is the correct answer.

Wheat falls under the category of Cereal where as Asafoetida is a spice which is entirely a different category.

The logical Venn diagram is :

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.

1. H and S are opposite letters. S + 6 = Y

2. D and W are opposite letters. W + 6 = C

3) F and U are opposite letters. U + 7 = B

4. K and P are opposite letters. P + 6 = 22

Hence, FUB is the correct answer.

In the morning, Sun rises in the East and shadow of object falls in the West.

In the evening, Sun sets in the West and shadow of object falls in the East.

Shadow of Amit falls to the right of Asvini. This means that right of Asvini is the East direction. The diagram will be :

Therefore, Amit is facing to the South.

Hence, South is the correct answer.

The pattern followed here is :

Similarly,

Hence, "BMMFD" is the correct answer.

According to the information given in the question :

Given expression :

K ÷ Q × M + R × D + H - L → K is brother of Q. Q is wife of M. M is son of R. R is wife of D. D is son of H. H is husband of L

Possible family tree diagram will be :

L is the paternal grandmother of M.

Hence, Paternal grandmother is the correct answer.

Here, the letters of the word "FRIDGE" are reversed and written as "EGDIRF". The diagram will be :

So, "GROUND" will be written as "DNUORG". The diagram will be :

Hence, "DNUORG" is the correct answer.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is :

Conclusions:

1) Some plates are spoons → True

2) Some spoons are scissors → True

3) Some plates are scissors → True

Hence, "All of the conclusions follow" is the correct answer.

The pattern followed here is :

Row 1: (16 - 12)² × 2 = 4² × 2 = 16 × 2 = 32

Row 2: (36 - 24)² × 2 = 12² × 2 = 144 × 2 = 288

Row 3: (49 - 37)² × 2 = 122 × 2 = 144 × 2 = 288

Hence, 288 is the correct answer.

Let the missing number be x.

The pattern followed here is :

Column 1: (11 + 17) × 4 = 28 × 4 = 112

Column 2: (29 + 23) × 4 = 52 × 4 = 208

Column  3: (22 + x) × 4 = 156

⇒ 88 + 4x = 156

⇒ 4x = 156 - 88

⇒ 4x = 68

⇒ x = 17

Hence, 17 is the correct answer.

According to the information given in the question :

1) D & S # K % U @ Z → D is brother of S. S is sister of K. K is son of U. U is husband of Z

In this case U is a male. Therefore, this option is rejected.

2) D % S # K & Z @ U → D is son of S. S is sister of K. K is brother of Z. Z is husband of U

Possible family tree diagram will be :

In this case, S is the mother of D. Therefore, this option is rejected.

3) D & S # K % Z @ U → D is brother of S. S is sister of K. K is son of Z. Z is husband of U

Possible family tree diagram will be :

Therefore, U is the mother of D.

4) U & S # K % Z @ D → U is brother of S. S is sister of K. K is son of Z. Z is husband of D

In this case U is a male. Therefore, this option is rejected.

Hence, "D & S # K % Z @ U" is the correct answer.

The circle, non-filled oval and filled oval are moving in the clockwise direction amongst themselves.

Thus, in the answer figure, we should get the circle at the top left corner of the square. Using this, we can eliminate options 3 and 4.

Now, the rectangle box is alternating between the lower right and the lower left corners of the square.

Thus, in the answer figure, we should get the box in the lower right corner. This eliminates option 1.

Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
