Reasoning Question Papers

1) Direction: A word is represented by only one set of numbers as given in any


one of the alternatives. The sets of numbers given in the alternatives are
represented by two classes of alphabets as in two matrices given below. The
columns and rows of Matrix I are numbered from 0 to 4 and that of Matrix II
are numbered from 5 to 9. A letter from these matrices can be represented
first by its row and next by its column, e.g. `A' can be represented by 03, 10
etc. and 'FY can be represented by 58, 65 etc. Similarly, you have to identify
the set for the word 'BEAK'.

a) 44 75 22 88

b) 20 10 87 57

c) 44 88 10 75

d) 32 76 75 22

Ans. (a.)

Explanation:​ Let us find the code for the given work-

B= 01, 13, 20, 32, 44;

E= 56, 68, 75, 87, 99;

A= 03, 10, 22, 34, 41;

K= 57, 69, 76, 88, 95;

From the above deductions, we can find that option (a.) is the most appropriate
answer.
Directions: In Question nos. 2 to 7, select the related word/letters/number
from the given alternatives.

2) Insects : Entomology : : Snakes : ?

a) Agrology

is the branch of zoology that deals with snakes.

3) Kidneys: Nephron : : Central Nervous System : ?

a) Brain

b) Cerebrum
c) Spinal cord

d) Neurons

Ans. (d.)

Explanation: Nephrons are the functional units in the kidney. Similarly, Neurons
are a specialized cell transmitting nerve impulses.

4) Y​2​ : 4 : : V​2​ : ?

a) 16

b) 49

c) 9

d) 25

Ans. (d.)

Explanation: ‘​Y’ is the second letter in the alphabetic series from the last and the
square of 2 is 4. Similarly, ‘V’ is the fifth letter in the alphabetic series from the
last. Hence, the required answer will be 25.
5) JOKE: GLHB : : RISK : ?

a) OFPH

b) SJTL

c) ULVN

d) QHRJ

Ans. (a.)

Explanation:​ JOKE ------(-3)(-3)(-3)(-3) ----------- GLHB;

Similarly, RISK ------(-3)(-3)(-3)(-3) ----------- OFPH.

6) 4 : 17 : : 7 : ?

a) 49

b) 51

c) 48
d) 50

Ans. (d.)

Explanation:​ (4)​2​ +1 = 17; Similarly, (7)​2​ + 1 = 50;

7) DFHJ : WUSQ : : HJLN : ?

a) PRTW

b) RTVX

c) TWYZ

d) SQOM

Ans. (d.)

Explanation: DFHJ ----- (4)(6)(10)(12); positions of these letters from the


starting in the alphabetic series. Similarly, WUSQ has the same position from the
last of the alphabetic series.

HJLN ------ (8)(10)(12)(14);


Hence, the required answer will be SQOM.

Directions: In Question nos. 8 to 10, a series is given, with one/two term


missing. Choose the correct alternative from the given ones that will complete
