Reasoning Questions : Logical Reasoning Set-1
The reasoning is an important part of a banking examination that holds the key for scoring well. This section tests the logic of a person while solving the questions. A good score depends on the clarity of your logical ability to crack the pattern of the question. This can only be attained if you practice daily without fail.
Here isSBI Clerk Reasoning quiz and it includes questions from Puzzle, miscellaneous.
Direction (1-5): There are two rows given and to find out the resultant of a particular row we need to follow the following steps: –
Step 1: If an even number is followed by an odd number then the resultant will be the addition of both the numbers.
Step 2: If an odd number is followed by a perfect square then the resultant will be the difference of that square number and the odd number.
Step 3: If an odd number is followed by another odd number (but not a perfect square) then the resultant will be the addition of both the numbers.
Step 4: If an odd number is followed by an even number (but not a perfect square) then the resultant comes by multiplying the numbers.
Step 5: If an even number is followed by another even number then the resultant will be the division of first number by the second number.

Solution
S1. Ans(d)
Sol.
For row-1:
An even number is followed by another even number = 20/4 = 5
An odd number is followed by another odd number (but not a perfect square) = 5 + 5 = 10
For row-2:
An odd number is followed by an even number (but not a perfect square) = 17×12 =204
An even number is followed by an odd number = 204 + 11 = 215
The sum is= 215+10=225
S2. Ans(c)
Sol.
For row -1:
An odd number is followed by a perfect square = 21-9 = 12
An even number is followed by a even number = 12/6 = 2
For row – 2:
An even number is followed by another even number = 50/2 = 25
The resultant of row-2 is = 18-2 = 16
Then value of X must be = 9
S3. Ans(b)
Sol.
For row – 1:
An odd number is followed by another odd number (but not a perfect square) = 25 + 7 = 32
An even number is followed by an even number = 32/16 = 2
For row – 2:
An even number is followed by an odd number = 8 + 17 = 25
An odd number is followed by an even number (but not a perfect square) = 25×12 = 300
The difference of row-1 and row-2= 300 – 2 =298
S4. Ans(b)
Sol. For row – 1:
An odd number is followed by another odd number (but not a perfect square) = 51 + 21= 72
An even number is followed by another even number = 72/4 = 18
For row – 2:
An even number is followed by an odd number = 16 + 17 = 33
An odd number is followed by another odd number (but not a perfect square) = 33 + 5 = 38
The multiplication of row-1 and row-2= 18 x 38 = 684
S5. Ans(b)
Sol.
For row – 1:
An odd number is followed by an even number (but not a perfect square) = 7 x 8 = 56
An even number is followed by an odd number = 56 + 13 = 69
For row – 2:
An odd number is followed by a perfect square =16-5 = 11
An odd number is followed by a perfect square =11 – 9 = 2
The multiplication of row-1 and row-2= 69 + 2 = 71
