Aspiring-Minds Reasoning Questions

DIRECTIONS for question 1 to 3: Read the given information carefully and answer the given question.
Each of the six friends, I, J, K, L, M and N working in an office handles different number of projects in a month. I handled the second lowest number of projects. K handles more projects than L and M but less than J. J did not handle the maximum number of projects. M did not handle the minimum number of projects. The one who handle the third highest number of projects handled 31 projects. L handled 12 projects.
  1. How many projects did J possibly handle?
    1. 28
    2. 10
    3. 36
    4. 9
    5. 15
    Answer: Option C
    N > J > K > M > I > L
    K=31
    L=12
    From the options, J Possibly handles only 36. Because K handled 31 projects so that J must be greater than 31. So answer is 36.
  2. If the number of projects handled by I + K is 4 times the number of projects handled by L, how many projects were handled by I?
    1. 22
    2. 17
    3. 19
    4. 9
    5. 32
    Answer: Option B
    N > J > K > M > I > L
    K=31
    L=12
    Given that I+K=4*L
    So that, I+31=48,
    I=17.
  3. Which of the following is true regarding the number of projects handled by N?
    1. No one handles more projects than N.
    2. Only J handled more number of projects than N
    3. N possibly handled 24 projects,
    4. N handled more number of projects than only three people
    5. The difference between projects handled by N and L is less than 18.
    Answer: Option A
    N > J > K > M > I > L
    K=31
    L=12
    From the options, we conclude that No one handles more projects than N is correct.

  1. 16 17 21 30 46 ?
    1. 82
    2. 104
    3. 71
    4. 92
    5. 84
    Answer: Option C
    The series is : +1, +4, +9, +16, +25
    These form the squares of natural numbers.
  2. 2 2 4 12 48 ?
    1. 180
    2. 220
    3. 240
    4. 160
    5. 210
    Answer: Option C
    The series is : 2*1 = 2
    2*2 = 4
    4*3 = 12
    12*4 = 48
    48*5 = 5 = 240
  3. 10 14 23 37 56 ?
    1. 74
    2. 80
    3. 118
    4. 120
    5. 94
    Answer: Option B
    The series is : +4, +9,+14,+19
    Here the difference of the differences is +5
    So accordingly the solution is: 19+5 = 23 + 56 = 80.
