Reasoning Quiz For Upcoming Bank Exam With Solution

Directions : Study the following information to answer the giv­en questions:

A word and number arrangement machine when given an input line of words and numbers rearranges them following a particular rule in each step. The following is an illustration of input and rearrangement.

(All the numbers are two digits numbers and are ar­ranged as per some logic based on the value of the number.)

Input: win 56 32 93 bat for 46 him 28 11 give chance

Step I: 93 56 32 bat for 46 him 28  11 give chance win

Step II: 11 93 56 32 bat for 46 28 give chance win him

Step III: 56 11 93 32 bat for 46 28 chance win him give

Step IV: 28 56 11 93 32 bat 46 chance win him give for

Step V: 46 28 56 11 93 32 bat win him give for chance

Step VI: 32 46 28 56 11 93 win him give for chance bat

Step VI is the last Step of the arrangement of the above input as the intended arrangement is obtained.

As per the rules followed in the above steps, find out in each of the following questions the ap­propriate steps for the given in­put,

Input for the questions:

(5) All I, II and III are not sufficient to answer the question.

Direction: In these questions, relationship between different elements is shown in the statements. These statements are followed by two conclusions. Mark answer

1) If only conclusion I follows.

2) If only conclusion II follows.

3) If either conclusion I or II follows.

4) If neither conclusion I nor II follows.

5) If both conclusions I and II follow.

6. Statements: 

X > P > Q > R

X = Y

X < Z

Conclusions: 

I. Y > R

II. R > Z

7. Statements: 

P > Q    

S < T

X = Y

X > Z

Conclusions: 

I. S = Q

II. X > Q

8. Statements: 

S < T

T > R

T = W

Conclusions: 

I. R < S

II. S < W

9. Statements: 

X = Y < Z > W

Conclusions: 

I. Z = X

II. Z > X

10.   Statements: 

S > R

Y = X < Z

S < Y

Conclusions: 

I. Y > R

II. R > Z

Solutions:-

It is evident that one word and one number are arranged in each step. The numbers are arranged from the left and the words are arranged from the right. In the first step the word which comes last in the dictionary is shifted to the extreme right, while the highest number is shifted to the extreme left. In the second step the word which appears at the second last position in dictionary order is moved to the extreme right while the lowest number is shifted to the extreme left position. The same procedure is followed to get the final output.

Input: fun 89 at the 28 16 base camp 35 53 here 68

Step I: 89 fun at 28 16 base camp35 53 here 68 the

Step II: 16 89 fun at 28 base camp 35 53 68 the here

Step III: 68 16 89 at 28 base camp 35 53 the here fun

Step IV: 28 68 16 89 at base 35 53 the here fun camp

Step V: 53 28 68 16 89 at 35 the here fun camp base

Step VI: 35 53 28 68 16 89 the here fun camp base at

2.         (3)

3.         (4)

4.      (3): From statements II and III it is clear that S is the daughter-in-law of B.

B is the mother of N and R.
