Dear Aspirants,
Reasoning Questions for SBI CLERK Main 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 Clerk Main 2019.
Directions (1-5): Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below:
P, Q, R, S, T, U and V are seven players, who play for the same team. In a match meeting, they all are sitting around a circular table facing to the center. Also each player has to complete his training, which is assigned to them. No two player can complete their training at the same time and no two adjacent player finish their training immediately one after the other.
P completes his training immediately before Q. R sits third to the left of S but completes his training after S. Q sits to the immediate left of V. T sits to the immediate left of the player, who completes his training before two players. U completes his training immediately after Q but not after R. The number of players who complete their training before V is same as the numbers of players, who complete their training after V. U sits 2nd to the right of person who completes his training 1st.
Q1. Who sits fourth to the right of Q?
U
R
P
V
None of these
Solution:
From the given conditions, first we try to complete their training time order from 1st to 7th.
The number of players who complete their training before V is same as the numbers of players, who complete their training after V. Hence V completes his training in 4th position. P completes his training immediately before Q. U completes his training immediately after Q but not after R. Hence P, Q, U completes his training in either 1st, 2nd, 3rd position respectively or in 5th, 6th, 7th position respectively. If U completes his training in 7th position, then R must be complete his training before U, which cannot be possible. So P, Q, U completes his training in 1st, 2nd, 3rd position respectively.
Also we try to complete circular arrangement from the given conditions; R sits third to the left of S but completes his training after S. Hence S completes his training before R. T sits to the immediate left of the player, who completes his training before two players (means 5th position player). No two adjacent player finish their training immediately one after the other. Hence S completes his training in 5th position. And T completes his training in 7th position and R completes his training in 6th position.
Q sits to the immediate left of V. Hence V sits either immediate left of R or second left of R. If V sits immediate left of R, then Either U or P sits immediate right of S, which is not possible. So V sits second to the left of R. And U sits immediate right of R. U sits 2nd to the right of person who completes his training 1st.
The final arrangement are-
The number of players who complete their training before V is same as the numbers of players, who complete their training after V. Hence V completes his training in 4th position. P completes his training immediately before Q. U completes his training immediately after Q but not after R. Hence P, Q, U completes his training in either 1st, 2nd, 3rd position respectively or in 5th, 6th, 7th position respectively. If U completes his training in 7th position, then R must be complete his training before U, which cannot be possible. So P, Q, U completes his training in 1st, 2nd, 3rd position respectively.
Also we try to complete circular arrangement from the given conditions; R sits third to the left of S but completes his training after S. Hence S completes his training before R. T sits to the immediate left of the player, who completes his training before two players (means 5th position player). No two adjacent player finish their training immediately one after the other. Hence S completes his training in 5th position. And T completes his training in 7th position and R completes his training in 6th position.
Q sits to the immediate left of V. Hence V sits either immediate left of R or second left of R. If V sits immediate left of R, then Either U or P sits immediate right of S, which is not possible. So V sits second to the left of R. And U sits immediate right of R. U sits 2nd to the right of person who completes his training 1st.
The final arrangement are-

None
Solution:
From the given conditions, first we try to complete their training time order from 1st to 7th.
The number of players who complete their training before V is same as the numbers of players, who complete their training after V. Hence V completes his training in 4th position. P completes his training immediately before Q. U completes his training immediately after Q but not after R. Hence P, Q, U completes his training in either 1st, 2nd, 3rd position respectively or in 5th, 6th, 7th position respectively. If U completes his training in 7th position, then R must be complete his training before U, which cannot be possible. So P, Q, U completes his training in 1st, 2nd, 3rd position respectively.
Also we try to complete circular arrangement from the given conditions; R sits third to the left of S but completes his training after S. Hence S completes his training before R. T sits to the immediate left of the player, who completes his training before two players (means 5th position player). No two adjacent player finish their training immediately one after the other. Hence S completes his training in 5th position. And T completes his training in 7th position and R completes his training in 6th position.
Q sits to the immediate left of V. Hence V sits either immediate left of R or second left of R. If V sits immediate left of R, then Either U or P sits immediate right of S, which is not possible. So V sits second to the left of R. And U sits immediate right of R. U sits 2nd to the right of person who completes his training 1st.
The final arrangement are-
The number of players who complete their training before V is same as the numbers of players, who complete their training after V. Hence V completes his training in 4th position. P completes his training immediately before Q. U completes his training immediately after Q but not after R. Hence P, Q, U completes his training in either 1st, 2nd, 3rd position respectively or in 5th, 6th, 7th position respectively. If U completes his training in 7th position, then R must be complete his training before U, which cannot be possible. So P, Q, U completes his training in 1st, 2nd, 3rd position respectively.
Also we try to complete circular arrangement from the given conditions; R sits third to the left of S but completes his training after S. Hence S completes his training before R. T sits to the immediate left of the player, who completes his training before two players (means 5th position player). No two adjacent player finish their training immediately one after the other. Hence S completes his training in 5th position. And T completes his training in 7th position and R completes his training in 6th position.
Q sits to the immediate left of V. Hence V sits either immediate left of R or second left of R. If V sits immediate left of R, then Either U or P sits immediate right of S, which is not possible. So V sits second to the left of R. And U sits immediate right of R. U sits 2nd to the right of person who completes his training 1st.
The final arrangement are-
