Sample Reasoning Ability questions with solutions

Written to the Union Bank LBO 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.

Linear seating arrangement · solved example

Seven people P, Q, R, S, T, U and V sit in a row facing north. V sits at the extreme left end and R at the extreme right end. P sits third from the left end. T sits immediately to the right of P. Q sits immediately to the right of T. U sits between Q and R. S is the only person between V and P.

Who sits at the extreme left end?

  • P
  • S
  • T
  • U
  • VCorrect

Solution

Number the seats 1 to 7 from the left. V is 1 and R is 7. P is 3, and S, the only person between V and P, is 2. T is immediately right of P, so T is 4, and Q immediately right of T is 5. U, between Q and R, is 6. The order is V, S, P, T, Q, U, R, so V is at the extreme left.

Ranking · solved example

In a row of 28 people, A is 9th from the left end and B is 3rd from the right end. How many people sit between A and B?

  • 13
  • 19
  • 22
  • 16Correct
  • 10

Solution

Positions occupied from the two ends are 9 and 3; those between them number 28 − 9 − 3 = 16.

Inequality · solved example

Statements: A < F = C < B Conclusions: I. F > C II. F ≤ A Which conclusion(s) definitely follow?

  • Only I follows
  • Only II follows
  • Both I and II follow
  • Neither I nor II followsCorrect
  • Either I or II follows

Solution

Reading the chain, conclusion I is not necessarily true and conclusion II is not necessarily true. Hence: neither i nor ii follows.
