155 metres

185 metres

215 metres

Solution:

Q3.In a row of children, Neha is ninth from the left and Komal is thirteenth from the right. They exchange their positions and then Neha becomes seventeenth from the left. Find the new position of Komal from the right end of the row.

20th

21st

27th

25th

None of these

Solution:

Neha’s new position is 17th from the left and 13th from the right.
So, number of children in the row = (16+1+12)
= 29.
Now, Komal’s new position is Neha’s earlier position which is 9th from the left.
Number of children to the right of Komal = (29-9)
= 20.
Hence, Komal’s new position is 21st from the right.

Reasoning Quiz for IBPS Clerk Prelims: 10th November |_7.1

Q11. How many symbols are there in the series which are immediately preceded by a number and immediately followed by a letter?

One

Two

Three

Four

None of these

Solution:

We have to look for number – symbol-letter sequence in the given series.

Q12. If all the symbols are dropped from the series, which letter/number will be eleventh to the left of fifteenth letter/number from you left ?

None of these

Solution:

11th element to the left of 15th element from the left ⇒ 4th element from the left after dropping all the Six symbols i.e. V.

Q13. If the position of the first and the sixteenth elements, the second and the seventeenth elements, and so on up to the eleventh and the twenty-sixth elements, are interchanged, which letter/number/ symbol will be seventh to the right of nineteenth letter/number/symbol from the right?

None of these

Solution:

7th to the right of 19th element from the right ⇒ 12th element from the right ⇒ (31-12) = 19th element from the left.

Now,
19th element from the left will be replaced by the fourth element (from the
left) in the original series. Hence the required element is ‘U’

Q14. If the positions of the letters in the sequence are reoccupied by the letters themselves though after getting rearranged alphabetically from the left, which of the following will indicate the position of L in the new arrangement?

L is fourteenth from left

L is between * and M

L is seventeenth from right

Both (a) and (c)

None of these

Solution:

After rearranging the letters according to the questions,It is obvious that L is fourteenth element from the left and seventeenth from the right.

Q15. What is the total number of ‘the numbers immediately followed by a letter’ and ‘the symbols immediately following the letters’ together in the above sequence?

Four

Five

Three

Six

None of these

Solution:

We have to look for number-letter and letter-symbol sequences.
