Selected Reasoning Questions from Haryana Bank PO

After researching on all the available resources, I have been able to find many questions from Haryana Gramin Bank PO. It must be noted that these question are based on the memory of the candidates and we must thank all the candidates for their support in helping us prepare for our future.

So here are few selected questions which I found important to discuss with the forum for preparation.

Always I have seen atleast one question is asked on this type. So you must clearly see what it actually asks.

Q1 – How many meaningful words can be formed with the letters ASCN using all the letters but each letter used only once in the word ?

a.     None

b.    One

c.     Two

d.    Three

e.     More than three

Answer – These type of questions require that you apply all possible permutations with the letters of the word. So lets do it.

ASCN – no ; ANSC – no ; CANS – yes ; SCAN –yes ;

any other combination will also not yield any meaningful  word.

So answer is two – option (c)

Reasoning Questions based on Symbols

REASONING ABILITY – 2

Questions based on symbols.

In this section there are many different types of questions. One of the type is where a lot of symbols are used having different meanings and then questions are framed on the basis of the inference of these symbols. The questions are very easy and scoring if you can quickly decode and understand the meaning of the symbols. Below are some questions where hardly any knowledge of maths is used but you must have a deep sense of understanding basics otherwise you will end up making mistakes like. If I tell I> J ; & J = M ; & M< N and N < P; Now if I ask you relation between I J M N & P, It would sound a bit cumbersome, but if you look at it with relax mind then you can observe that I is greater than J which is equal to M so indirectly I is also greater than M and since M is less than N so indirectly I is also greater than N, But P is greater than N; How much greater ? We don't know. May be just a little greater so that it is still less than all the remaining ones or may be so greater that it is the greatest. In other words the extent to which P is more than N is not told here in this statement. So these are the things you need to keep in mind. Rest is all very very easy !!

In the following questions, the symbol  × , ∂ , % ,   © , @ , are used with the following illustrations.

     P % Q means P is not smaller than Q

     P © Q means P is neither smaller than nor equal to Q

     P x Q means P is neither greater than nor equal to Q

     P ∂ Q means P is not greater than Q

     P @ Q means P is neither greater than nor smaller than Q

Question  1 –     Statement – R ∂ K ; K x M ; M @ J

Reasoning Ability - Statements Based Questions

Questions Based on Statements.

In Reasoning Ability there are few though not too many question which are based on statements. The statement is given and followed by some rule which can vary from paper to paper, but normally how you should tackle those is somewhat same every time. What should be kept in mind is that, this section is very thoughtful and if you hurry to answer, there will arise chances that you can mark a wrong answer but if you tackle them without anxiety and stress, you will not only mark the right answer but will also save much time from these questions because here no calculation is involved. Just thought process !

Follow the Questions carefully now !

Directions for Questions – Two statements are given for each question and you need to check the cause and effect. Not necessary that one will be cause and other effect. It can be anything, both cause, both effect or either one cause & other effect.

So Mark A if the statement I is cause and II is effect of it.

Mark B if II is the cause and I is effect.

Mark C if both I & II are independent causes.

Mark D if both statements I & II are effects of independent causes.

Mark E if both statements I & II are effects of some common cause.

Read the instructions once more carefully if not understood.

* Selected Questions on Reasoning from various past PO papers appearing very common.

Question : How many such pairs of letters are there in the word CHRONICLE each of which has as many letters in between them as in the english alphabets ?
a) None
b) One
c) Two
d) Three
e) More than three

Solution:
First we must understand what the question intend to convey.
It says that in this word CHRONICLE, you take any two alphabets and then see how many letters are in between them. And if you see in your english alphabets a,b,c,d,e,f...........z and these very two same alphabets, then count how many letters occur in between them. Are they two equal. If yes then this becomes a pair. So how many such pairs can you get ?

There is no fixed formulae to check this it is just that your ability to see that two alphabets are so close or far and compare it in the word there.
