IBPS PO Quantitative Aptitude: Logical Reasoning questions with solutions

Q1. Reem went 8 m towards east from her house, then she took a right turn and walked 6 m. Then she went 14 m towards her left. From there, she took two consecutive left turns of 17 m and 10 m respectively and reached her office. If a cafe is 11 m south of Reem's office, then what is the shortest distance between Reem's house and the cafe?

1. 18 m
2. 12 m
3. 16 m
4. 22 m

Answer: 12 m

By tracking Reem's movements, the office can be located relative to the house. Then the cafe is placed 11 m south of the office, and the shortest distance from the house to the cafe comes out to 12 m.

Q2. Find the wrong number in the following number series: 64, 34, 36, 56, 114, 287, 860

1. 114
2. 860
3. 64
4. 36

Answer: 860

The series is intended to follow a pattern of alternating operations or a recursive relation among terms. The term 860 does not fit the progression established by the previous numbers, so it is the wrong number in the series.
