Dear Aspirants,
Reasoning Questions for SBI PO Mains 2019
Reasoning Ability is a crafty section. It eventually affects the number of question one can usually attempt. But this section is based on logic and rules can be aced if practised well enough. The only way to achieve this ambitious goal is by practising continuously with dedication. So to prepare you with best tools for the finals, here is today’s Reasoning Quiz based on the study plan and the exact same pattern of questions that are expected to be asked in SBI PO Mains.
Directions (1-5): Study the following information carefully to answer the given questions:
Ten persons are sitting in twelve seats in two parallel rows containing five people each, in such a way that there is an equal distance between adjacent persons. In row 1, A, B, C, D and E are seated and all of them are facing south, and in row 2, P, Q, R, S and T are sitting and all of them are facing north. One seat is vacant in each row. Therefore, in the given seating arrangement each member seated in a row faces another member of the other row. All of the persons like different colours.
S sits third to the right of R and likes Yellow colour. Only one people sit between Q and Vacant seat. Q does not like Orange and Green colour. E is not an immediate neighbour of C. Q sits at one of the extreme ends. B likes Olive colour. The one who likes Green colour faces the one who likes Pink colour. The one who likes Green colour sits opposite to the one, who sits third right of the one, who sits opposite to S. C is not an immediate neighbour of D. Vacant seat of row-1 does not face S also does not sit at any of the extreme ends. T, who likes neither Orange nor Purple colour, does not sit adjacent to the vacant seat. Neither S nor R sits at an extreme end. D faces R. Vacant seats are opposite to each other. The person who likes Blue colour and Pink colour are adjacent to each other. There are two seats between C and B, who sits third right of the one, who likes White colour. The one who likes Magenta colour faces the one, who likes Yellow colour. Vacant seat of row-1 is not an immediate neighbour of D. R does not like Blue and Pink colour. One of the persons likes black colour.

Solution:
Students let us understand the Logic behind this Question and lets understand how to solve it. As a first step lets first understand the logic behind the Output. If you will see the final output you will observe the following:
(i)- In each step only one word and one number is getting arranged. The words are arranged in ascending order according to the English alphabetical series from left to right.
(ii)- Numbers are arranged in increasing order from left. If number is prime number add 1 in that number. if number is even (except prime number) add 2 and if number is odd number (except prime number) subtract 1 in that number. In the final step numbers are arranged in decreasing order from left end and words are arranged in increasing order.
