Dear Aspirants,
Reasoning Questions for NIACL AO Exam 2018-19:
Reasoning Ability is an onerous section. With the increasing complexity of questions, it becomes hard for one to give it the cold shoulder. The only way to make the grade in this particular section in the forthcoming banking exams like NIACL AO Prelims is to practice continuously with all your heart and soul. And, to let you practice with the best of the latest pattern questions, here is the Adda247 Reasoning Quiz based on the exact same pattern of questions that are being asked in the exams.
Directions (1-2): Read the following information carefully and answer the question which follows:
IF ‘A × B’ means ‘A is son of B’
IF ‘A + B’ means ‘A is daughter of B’
IF ‘A ÷ B’ means ‘A is wife of B’
IF ‘A - B’ means ‘A is Father of B’
Q1. What will come in the place of the question mark, to establish that M is mother of J in the expression?
‘J + K – L ? M’
+
×
–
÷
Either (a) or (b)
Solution:
J is the daughter of K and K is the father of L. So for M to be mother of J, M should be the mother of L. Hence the question mark can be replaced by either × or +.
Q2. Which of the following relations are true based upon the relations given in the question?
J ÷ K × L - M + N’ ?
K is brother of N
J is daughter-in-law of M
J is daughter-in-law of N
N is daughter of L
None is true
Solution:
Here L and N are husband and wife. M is their daughter, K is their son and J is their daughter-in-law. Hence only (c) is true.

Directions (11-15): A word and number arrangement machine when given an input line of words and numbers rearranges them following a particular rule in each step. The following is an illustration of input and rearrangement.
Input: soul 63 bag 51 92 66 dancer light 86 read
Step I: bag soul 63 51 66 dancer light 86 read 92
Step II: dancer bag soul 63 51 66 light read 92 86
Step III: light dancer bag soul 63 51 read 92 86 66
Step IV: read light dancer bag soul 51 92 86 66 63
Step V: soul read light dancer bag 92 86 66 63 51
Step VI: 36 6 9 6 1 2 5 3 9 6
And step VI is the last step of the arrangement. As per the above rule followed in the above steps, find out in each of the following questions the appropriate step for the input given below;
Input: 41 do provoke 21 79 mouth cat loud 29 apple 83 44
Q11. How many steps would be needed to complete the arrangement?
IV
V
VI
VII
None of these
Solution:
The machine arranges a word and a number in each step. Words are arranged in alphabetical order in such a way that word with the smallest starting alphabet is place at the left end in each step. Similarly, the numbers are arranged in decreasing order in such a way that the highest number is placed at the rightmost end in one step, followed by the second largest number in second step and so on.
In the final step all the words are converted into a numerical value which denotes the sum of the values of its vowels. For Ex. EAT= 1(A)+5(E)=6. Similarly, all the two-digit number are converted into their digital sum. For Ex. 83
8 + 3111 + 1 = 2
8 + 3111 + 1 = 2
Input : 41 do provoke 21 79 mouth cat loud 29 apple 83 44
Step I : apple 41 do provoke 21 79 mouth cat loud 29 44 83
Step II : cat apple 41 do provoke 21 mouth loud 29 44 83 79
Step III : do cat apple 41 provoke 21 mouth loud 29 83 79 44
Step IV : loud do cat apple provoke 21 mouth 29 83 79 44 41
