Reasoning PYQs

Let the age of Amit be 'x' years.

Age of Arjun = x + 6 years

Ratio of the ages of Amit and Arjun is 5 : 7

Therefore, 

x/x + 6 = 5/7

⇒ 7x = 5(x + 6)

⇒ 7x = 5x + 30

⇒ 2x = 30

⇒ x = 15

Amit's age is 15 years.

Hence, 15 is the correct answer.

Possible family tree diagram is :

Hence, Leorio is brother in law of Zeno.

Given expression : [{(21 × 17) - (3 ÷ 2)} + (3 - 2)] ÷ 2

'+' means 'divided by', '-' means 'add', 'times' means 'minus' and '÷' means 'multiplied by'

Replacing the symbols according to the question, we get

[{(21 - 17) + (3 × 2)} ÷ (3 + 2)] × 2

Applying the BODMAS rule, we get

[{4 + 6} ÷ 5] × 2

= [10 ÷ 5] × 2

= 2 × 2

= 4

Hence, 4 is the correct answer.

Let the missing term be 'x'.

The pattern followed here is :

In a colmun:

(First number + Second number) × 2  = Third number

Column 1 : (9 + 5) × 2 = 14 × 2 = 28

Column 2 : (4 + 8) × 2 = 12 × 2 = 24

Similalry,

Column 3 : (x + 5) × 2 = 42

x + 5 = 21

x = 21 - 5

x = 16

Hence, 16 is the correct answer.

The pattern followed here is :

Hence, ZYX is the correct answer.

T is better than S.

T > S

Q is better than R.

Q > R

O is better than P.

O > P

Q is not as good as P.

P > Q

S is better than O.

S > O

Combining all the relations, we get

T > S > O > P > Q > R

Hence, T is best at knitting.

The pattern followed here is :

Similarly,

Hence, VTS is the correct answer.

The pattern followed here is :

Similarly,

Hence, UWX is the correct answer.

F is at the last seat on the right side. D is sitting exactly between B and F.

E is sitting on the last seat at the one end of the row. Since F is already at right end, hence, E is sitting at left end.

B is at the immediate right of A.

A is sitting to the immediate right of C.

A is sitting on 3^rd position from left.

Hence, A is the correct answer.

In option 2, 3 and 4 there is a difference of three in positional values of letters whereas in option 1 there is a difference of three in positional value of first two letters and difference of two in last two letters.

Hence, GDB is the correct answer.

Let the years of service of P, Q and R are = x, y and z respectively.

After 6 years,

(x + 6) + (y + 6) + (z + 6) = 56

x + y + z = 56 - 18

x + y + z = 38 ------- (1)

Before 3 years,

(y - 3) + (z - 3) = 17

y + z = 17 + 6

y + z = 23 --------- (2)

By equation (1) and (2)

x = 15

Therefore, current length of service of P is 15 years.

The logic is as follows:

Hence, missing term is ASXX.

The logic is as:

(6 × 6 × 6) / 2 = 108

Similarly,

(8 × 8 × 8) / 2 = 256

Hence, missing number is 8.

The logic is as follows:

25 + 6 = 31

31 + 12 = 43

43 + 24 = 67

67 + 48 = 115

115 + 96 = 211

Hence, the missing number is 31.

Similarly,

Hence, the answer is LUHH.

The symbol table is as follows:

Given: 24 B 14 C 264 D 22 A 42

After converting letters into symbols

24 × 14 - 264 ÷ 22 + 42

= 24 × 14 - 12 + 42

= 336 - 12 + 42

= 378 - 12

= 366

Hence, the correct answer is 366.

Given: H < E = D < P and C = E > Z = Q

On combining: H < C = E = D < P, E > Z = Q;

1. D > H → True (H < C = E = D makes D > H)

2. P > Z → True (Z < E = D < P makes P > Z)

3. P = Q → False (Q = Z < E = D < P makes P > Q)

4. D = C → True (H < C = E = D < P makes D = C)

Hence, 'P = Q' is the correct answer.

The direction distance diagram for the given statements is as:

Distance between home and final position is 11.

Therefore total distance of P is = 11 + 72 = 83 m

Hence, value of P is 83 m.

The arrangements of words according to the English dictionary order:

4. Serene
5. Serious
6. Serpent 1. Service 3. Surrogate

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

Persons: P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W

1. All are  sitting clockwise around a circular table at equal distances from each other in the same sequence.

2. All of them are facing the centre of the table. If P is facing northeast.

The sitting arrangement is as follows:

Hence, V faces Northwest direction.
