Reasoning Quiz For IBPS

Directions (Q. 1-5): In each of the questions below, two/three statements are given followed by

conclusions numbered I and II. You have to assume all the statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with the commonly known facts and then decide which of the given two conclusions logically follows from the information given in the statements. Give 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.

(1-5):

Statements:        Some data are sufficient.

                             No sufficient is a statement.

                             No data is a question.

1.                        

Conclusions:      I. All questions can never be sufficient.

                            II. No statement is a data.

2. 

Conclusions:       I. Some questions are sufficient.

                             II. No question is a statement.

(3-4):

Statements:            All numerics are alphabets.

                                All alphabets are written.

                                No written is verbal.

3. Conclusions:        I. No numeric is verbal.

                                  II. All written are alphabets.

4. Conclusions:        I. No alphabet is verbal.

                                  II. All numerics are written.

5. Statements:          Some clouds are rains.

                                  All rains are ice.

Conclusions:            I. At least some clouds are ice.

                                  II. At least some ice is rain.

9. What may be the possible code for ‘easy and solved’ in the given code language?

1) sa go ro 

2) sa ro cu 

3) no ro sa

4) cu ro go 

5) sa ro to

10. What is the code for ‘dangerous’ in the given code language?

1) no 

2) sa 

3) to 

4) ai 

5) ho

Answer:-
(1-2) :

1. (4); All questions can be sufficient. Hence, conclusion I does not follow.
Statement may be data. Hence conclusion II does not follow.

2. (4); Some questions may not be sufficient. Hence, conclusion I does not follow.

Question may be a statement. Hence conclusion II does not follow.

(3-4)

3. (1);  
No numeric is verbal. So No verbal is numeric, alphabet  and written. Hence, I follows.

All written are alphabets. some written are alphabets.  But All written are not alphabets. Hence conclusion II does not follow.

4. (5);  No alphabet is verbal. same as 3rd question. Hence, I follows.
All numerics are written. some written are numerics. Some numerics are also written. Hence conclusion II follow.

5. (5); 

At least some clouds are ice. Hence, I follows.

At least some ice is rain. Hence conclusion II follow.

(6-10):
driving is not easy  ==>  jo ro ho go  ... (i)
rough and tough driving  ==>  no sa jo da ... (ii)
looks easy but dangerous  ==>  ai ro to po         ... (iii)
is rough tough dangerous driving  ==>  ho jo no ai da    ... (iv)
From (i), (ii) and (iv) driving ==>  jo     ... (v)
From (i), (iv) and (v) is  ==>  ho                ... (vi)
From (i) and (iii) easy  ==>  ro             ... (vii)
From (i), (v), (vi) and (vii) not ==>  go                          ... (viii)
From (ii), (iv) and (v) rough/tough  ==>  no/da ...(ix)
From (ii), (v) and (ix) and  ==> sa ... (x)
From (iii) and (iv) dangerous  ==> ai      ...(xi)
