Reasoning PYQs

Given equation is → 65 * 5 * 17 * 24 * 21 * 224

After replacing the signs from left to right and using the BODMAS rule,

Option 1 → ÷, ×, +, -, =

65 ÷ 5 × 17 + 24 - 21 = 224

13 × 17 + 24 - 21 = 224

221 + 24 - 21 = 224

221 + 3 = 224

224 = 224

Option 2 → +, ×, -, ÷, =

65 + 5 × 17 - 24 ÷ 21 = 224

65 + 5 × 17 - 1.14 = 224

65 + 85 - 1.14 = 224

150 - 1.14 = 224

148.86 ≠ 224

Option 3 → ÷, ×, -, +, =

65 ÷ 5 × 17 - 24 + 21 = 224

13 × 17 - 24 + 21 = 224

221 - 24 + 21 = 224

242 - 24 = 224

218 ≠ 224

Option 4 → ×, +, -, ÷, =

65 × 5 + 17 - 24 ÷ 21 = 224

65 × 5 + 17 - 1.14 = 224

325 + 17 - 1.14 = 224

342 - 1.14 = 224

340.86 ≠ 224 

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic follows here is:

Venn diagram according to the given information is:

Sisters, Mothers, and Females.

From the Venn diagram,

Some sisters may be mothers and vice-versa.

Similarly,

Some mothers may be sisters and vice-versa.

But all the sisters and all the mothers belong to females group, so they both will come inside the females circle.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

According to the sequence in the dictionary: 

The correct order of the given words is:

4. Pedaling

1. Pendant
2. Pendency 2. Pending
3. Pentagon

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

Additional Information

1. First of all, check the common letter in all.
2. Arrange them according to the alphabet they come first.
3. When common letters are arranged, then go for the rest and that will come last.

The logic follows here is:

According to the given information,

Code for "Is" is 6.

Code for "my" is 5.

Code for "ill" is 7.

Now, we left with only "aunt" and it's code is "3".

Hence, the correct answer is "3".

Below diagram shows the distance between the Prakash's house and Daksh's house:

Now, Triangle "PRQ" is a right-angled triangle, so using Pythagoras Theorem:

RP² + PQ² = RQ²

y² + (40)² = (50)²

y² = 2500 - 1600

y² = 900

y = √ 900

y = 30 m

Now, Triangle "PQS" is a right-angled triangle, so using Pythagoras Theorem:

SP2 + PQ2 = SQ2

x² + (40)2 = (50)2

x² = 2500 - 1600

x² = 900

x = √ 900

x = 30 m

The distance between the Prakash's house and Daksh's house = x + y,

= 30 m + 30 m

= 60 m

Hence, the correct answer is "60 m".

The pattern follows here is:

There is a difference of +6 between the first and second letters and the second and third letters are opposite pairs.

CHR is the odd in these because it has the difference of +5 and last two letters are not opposite pairs.

Hence, the correct answer is "CHR".

 

Note:

Multiple of 400 years i.e. 800, 1200, 1600, 2000 have 0 odd days.

Calculating leap year: For Finding number of leap year (1 - 99) years, divide the number of years by 4 and the quotient will be the number of leap years.

Code for weekdays:

 

Total odd days = 0 + 4 + 6 + 5 = 15 days = 2 week + 1 odd day

1 is the code for Monday.

Hence, the correct answer is "Monday".

The logic follows here is:

Alphabets of the word are rearranged in alphabetical / dictionary order.

'TACKLE' is rearranged as 'ACEKLT'.

Similarly,

DETOXING is rearranged as DEGINOTX. 

'DEGINOTX' is related to the third term in the same way as the second term is related to the first term.

Hence, the correct answer is "DEGINOTX".

Arranging the given information:

Six houses P, Q, R, S, T and U are located in two rows with three houses in each row. The houses in both the rows face each other.

1) S is between P and U.

Case 1:

Case 2:

2)  P is facing T.

3) Q is not facing U.

Case 1:

Case 2:

 

So, three houses Q, R, T are in the same row.

Hence, the correct answer is "Q, R, T".

The logic follows here is:

Hence, the correct answer is "42".

The least possible Venn diagram as per the given

Statement:

Conclusions:

I. All bottles are jugs → True (As all bottles are glasses and all glasses are jugs so all bottles are jugs. It is definitely true as shown in the Venn diagram) 

II. All jugs are bottles → False (As all bottles are glasses and all glasses are jugs given so all jugs can be bottles but not definite, hence, false)

III. Some glasses are bottles → True (As all bottles are glasses given so some glasses are bottle. It is definitely true as shown in the Venn diagram)

Hence, the correct answer is "Only conclusion I and III follow".

Additional Information

According to the given information:

Among sevens friends A, B, C, D, E, F and G.

1) G is elder than A and C.

G > A  ----- (i)

G > C ----- (ii)

2) C is elder than D.

C > D

3) A is the third eldest.

4) E is the youngest.

5) F is elder than one friend only.

— > — > A > — > — > F > E

6) G is younger than B.

B > G

The final arrangement will be,

B > G > A > C > D > F > E

So, B is the eldest in all.

Hence, the correct answer is "B".

Members: Komal, Daman, Radhika, Sayantani, Malaya, Kartik, Arpan.

The family chart is as follows:

Drawing the family tree as per the given information:

As Komal is the mother of Kartik.

We do not know the gender of Kartik and Arpan.

Hence, the correct answer is "Mother".

The logic follows here is:

Lion, Elephant, Animal

Lion and Elephant both are different animals but both come under in the Animals. 

The least possible Venn diagram for the given set of words is:

Hence, the correct answer is "Option (2)".

Given series is:

27 B 3 C (11 A 3) A 14 B (100 D 10)

Decoding the given information,

 

Substituting the letters with the operations:

27 × 3 - (11 + 3) + 14 × (100 ÷ 10)

BODMAS Rule:

Using BODMAS rule,

27 × 3 - 14 + 14 × 10

81 - 14 + 140

221 - 14

207

Hence, the correct answer is "207".

According to the given information:

Given

Total students in a class = 120

Students participate in either Golf or Skating or both = 100

Total students participate in Golf = 60

Total students participate in Skating = 56

Concept used:

Used of Venn diagram.

From diagram,

Students who both play = 56 + 60 - 100 = 116 - 100 = 16

Now students who only Skating = 56 - 16 = 40

Hence, the correct answer is "40".

The family chart is as follows:

As Gopesh daughter's father's mother's only daughter's husband's father's only son is the husband of my husband's sister.

Drawing the family tree as per the given information:

So, a lady is the wife of Gopesh.

Hence the correct answer is "Wife".

The pattern followed here is:-

According to the given information:

First of all, write or create a story above something.

Then it is shooting on the basis of that story.

After that it is telecast.

Then Viewers see it.

And in the last viewers give their feedback.

So, the meaning sequence will be Story - Shooting - Telecast - Viewers - Feedback.

But according to the answer, it has been arranged in descending order.

Thus, the correct logical and meaningful sequence is Feedback - Viewers - Telecast - Shooting - Story.

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

Given,

The ratio of the money distributed among Darshana, Swati and Nivriti is 5 : 6 : 7

Darshna : Swati : Nivriti → 5 : 6 : 7

But Nivriti has Rs. 539 with her.

Then,

7 → 539 

1 → 77

The total sum of money = 5 + 6 + 7 = 18

The total sum of money was distributed = 18 x 77 = 1386

Hence, the correct answer is "1386".

Members: M, R, Q, F, S, D, U

Let us first decode the symbols and then draw a family tree.

 

Given equation → M × R × Q + F + S - D ÷ U

Family chart,

Family tree according to the given information,

From the family tree,

F is the father-in-law of D, M is the paternal uncle of F and S is the daughter-in-law of U.

Q is the paternal grandfather of S, not a maternal grandfather.

So, Q is the maternal grandfather of S is NOT correct.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option (1)".
