Sample Reasoning Ability questions with solutions

Written to the Rajasthan Jail Prahari pattern, with the answer key and the method behind it — a look at how the section is actually set before you drill the full topic sets.

Number series · solved example

Find the next term: 3, 7, 15, 31, ?

  • 55
  • 59
  • 63Correct
  • 67

Solution

Each term follows ×2 + 1: 3×2+1 = 7, 7×2+1 = 15, 15×2+1 = 31, so the next term is 31×2+1 = 63.

Coding-decoding · solved example

If GUARD is coded as HTBSE, how is PRISON coded?

  • QSJTPOCorrect
  • QSJTPM
  • QRJTPO
  • QSITPO

Solution

Each letter is shifted one place forward: G→H, U→V… Applying +1 to PRISON gives Q, S, J, T, P, O — that is, QSJTPO.

Analogy · solved example

Key is to Lock as Password is to:

  • Computer
  • AccountCorrect
  • Keyboard
  • Screen

Solution

A key opens a lock; a password unlocks or secures an account. Computer, keyboard and screen are devices, not what a password directly secures.

Blood relations · solved example

Pointing to a man, Rekha says, 'He is the only son of my mother's mother.' How is the man related to Rekha?

  • Father
  • Uncle (maternal)Correct
  • Brother
  • Cousin

Solution

Rekha's mother's mother is her maternal grandmother. The man's only son of that grandmother is Rekha's maternal uncle (mama). He is not her father or brother.
