REASONING ANSWER KEY
1. (b) 45 = 13*3+6. So, 17*3+6=57.
2. (c) 15=3*5; 35=5*7; 63=7*9. So, next number is
9*11=99.
3. (a) 56 and 72 are numbers formed by 7*8 and 8*9.
So, since, 110 is 10*11, next should be 11*12.
4. (a) CAMP is coded by writing its equivalent position
from other end of the alphabet sequence. Similarly,
HZOG was coded from SALT.
5. (c) As a House is made up by Walls, similarly, Walls
are primarily made up by Bricks.
6. (a) In the group ABCD, each letter is shifted 12
positions in alphabetical sequence to get MNOP.
Similarly, CFIL can be converted to ORUX.
7. (b) In the group EFGH, each letter is shifted 9
letters to get NOPQ. Similarly, IJKL can be converted
to RSTU.
8. (d) In the group RANDOM, the order of letters is put
according to alphabetical sequence to get ADMNOR.
Similarly, PROJECT can be converted to CEJOPRT
9. (d) 5 is the sum of squares of digits of 12.
10. (a) 25 and 125 are square and cube values of 5.
Since, 36 is the square value of 6, then next should
be cube value of 6, i.e 216.
11. (b) Except (b), the first two letters and last two
letters are consecutive in alphabetic series.
12. (d) Except (d), all are made up of consonants.
13. (c) Except (c), all positions are prime numbers.
14. (d) Except (d), all are countries.
15. (c) Except (c), in each group, second letter is one
position ahead of first letter.
16. (b) Except (b), in all groups, all are prime numbers
with a difference of 2.
17. (c) Except (c), in all groups, second number is one
more than first number, third number is two more
than second number and fourth number is three
more than third number.
18. (c) Except (c), in all groups, there is a gap of 2
letters between first two letters and a gap of 1 letter
between last two letters.
19. (a) Except (a), all are squares of prime numbers.
20. (d)Except (d), all have gap of one letter.
21. (b) In each group, there is a gap of one letter
between the letters.
22. (a) In this series, 3=12*3; 16=22*4; 45=32*5;
96=42*6, and so on. Therefore, the missing number
is 72*9 = 441.
23. (c) In this series, 5=23-3; 23=33-4; 59=43-5, and so
on. Therefore, the missing number is 83-9 = 503.
24. (c) The gap between E, G, J is +2, +3. Similarly, the
gap between V, T, Q is -2, -3. So, new group will be
+4 from J and -4 from Q. Hence, it will be NM.
25. (a) In this series, each number is product of
consecutive prime numbers starting from 2.
26. (b) In this series, 0=13-1; 6=23-2; 24=33-3; 60=43-4,
and so on. Therefore, the missing number is 73-7 =
336
27. (c) In this series, each number is the sum of
consecutive perfect squares starting from 1, i.e
5=1+4; 13=4+9; 25 = 9+16; and so on.
For 28 -29:
Assuming UP direction as SOUTH direction, we can
say that he is travelling in SOUTH direction at the
end and is 1 km away from starting point.
28. (a)
29. (d)
30. (b) According to the alphabetical sequence, each
letter in the word GAMBLE is shifted to its right by
1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 places respectively. So, using the
same pattern, PUNTER is coded as QWQXJX
31. (a) Taking Z=1, Y=2, X=3, and so on, we see that
F=21, L=15, A=26, T=7. So, FLAT = 21+15+26+7=69.
Using same logic for LAND, its code will be 77.
32. (d) The number of letters between successive
letters are 0, 1, 2, 3 and so on
33. (d)
34. (d) In the given code, for each letter corresponding
code is obtained by adding 13 to its alphabetical
position. So, following the same logic, FAKE is coded
as SNXR.
35. (b) In the word WARDEN, each alternate letter
starting from W in shifted 1 place backward and
remaining letters are shifted 1 place forward in
their alphabetical sequence. So, by following same
logic, the word HOSTEL is coded as GPRUDM.
36. (c)
37. (c)
38. (b)
39. (a)
40. (b) The number at the base is subtracted from the
product of the numbers on the side of the triangle to
get the number at the center.
41. (b) The numbers in the first and third columns are
multiplied together and them second column is
added to it to get the number of last column.
42. (c) 9+3,12+6,18+12=30
43. (d) If D is Male, the answer is Nephew.
If D is Female, the answer is Niece.
As the sex of D is not known, hence, the relation
between D and A cannot be determined.
44. (d) Based on given statements, we can make
following venn diagrams

So, from these diagrams we can that neither of the

given conclusions follow.
46. (d)
47. (b)
