CMAT 2019 Slot 1 (Reasoning)

The given statement indicates a question about the ban of political parties, the first argument is weak as there is no context about teaching the lesson to the political parties.

Hence, only II is strong.

Small squares = 6 (ABKD, BCEK, DKLF, KEGL, FLIH, LGJI)
Big squares = 2 (ACGF, DEJH)
Total squares = 8

Cup is used to drink something with the help of lips. Similarly birds collects grass with the help of beak to make her nest.

The given statement indicates that if any student is found to use unfair or unethical means in an exam will be disqualified, hence the first conclusion follows since it also debars the student from using unfair means in the exam. But second conclusion does not follow since there is no context about the examination system.
Thus, only conclusion I follows.

A well is located at one corner and a cabin at another corner opposite to the gate.
Lemon and Coconut trees are on either side of the gate
The mango tree is not at the corner where the cabin is located, => Mango Tree and Well are at the same corners, also Neem Tree and Cabin are at same corners

Thus, only possible combination at diagonally opposite ends is Neem Tree and Lemon Tree.

JAPAN is coded KCSES

Similarly, for Castle :

=> Ans - (C)

Clearly, each statement alone is not sufficient to find Deepa's age as on 30th October 2018.
Now, if we combine last two statement, we can find Prabha's age and if we add it to first statement, then we can also find Deepa's age.
Thus, all the three statements are required.

The pattern followed is that '4' and '2' are alternatively added.
24 + 4 = 28

28 + 2 = 30
30 + 4 = 34
34 + 2 = 36
=> Ans - (D)

Retina, cornea and pupil are parts of a human eye, while vision is a functionality of an eye, hence it does not belong with others.
=> Ans - (A)

Though all are musical instruments, but violin, cello and guitar are played with hands while a flute is used with mouth hence it is the odd one.

It is a known fact that Copper has a very low electric resistance, and that's why it is used to make electric wires.
Thus, R is the correct explanation of A.
=> Ans - (D)

Alternatively, the arrows are facing downwards, and towards the right. Also, it gets decrease by 1 in each alternate figure. Thus, in the fifth figure, there will be 3 arrows facing downwards as shown in 3rd figure.
=> Ans - (A)

Let us assume that vashista is walking in morning so, sun would be in east positioning back to sun means he was walking towards west from there he turned left, then turned right, and then towards left again. so he is now walking towards south.

Let us now assume that he is walking in evening.
so, sun will be on west side.
positioning back to sun means he was walking towards east.
from there he turned left, then turned right, and then towards left again. so he is now walking towards North.
Therefore the answer is north or south.
Hence answer is option D

The numbers are of the form 2ⁿ where is in decreasing order starting from 1.

(A) : T (+1) = U (+2) = W (+2) = Y
(B) : G (+1) = H (+2) = J (+3) = M
(C) : A (+1) = B (+2) = D (+2) = F
(D) : N (+1) = O (+2) = Q (+2) = S
=> Ans - (B)

If the employees have confidence in the management, it follows that they are hostile.
=> Ans - (C)

Given that 123 means "he is talented"----(a)

3456 means "talented people earn more"------(b)
45678 means "people earn more to enjoy".------(c)
Now we will decode what number means what word.
1---- He
2---- is
3---- the number 3 is in sentence a and b , so from these two sentences, the number 3 is common and the word Talented is common so 3 is talented.
But 456 in sentence b and c implies the same sentence people earn more so we cant determine the particular code for earn.
so, the answer will be cant be determined.

X(m), Y and P are siblings.
Z is their mother and Q is father, => Z is wife of Q.
Hence, second and fourth are definitely true. First can be true if Y is a male.
But third option can never be true, since X is brother of P.

R is the father of S, S is the father Q,
which implies R is the grandfather of Q

P is the daughter of R
Thus P is the aunt of Q

Swimming is the practice that is done only in water, hence water is absolute necessary to perform swimming.

Total students = 33
Akshay's rank in the class = 13th
Ajay's rank (5 students below him) = 28th
Number of students between them = (28 - 13) -1 = 14

Code for each letter is given as :
P -> 3
I -> 1
L -> 8
L -> 8
E -> 2
R -> 6
=> PILLER : 318826Code for each letter is given as :
P -> 3
I -> 1
L -> 8
L -> 8
E -> 2
R -> 6
=> PILLER : 318826

In the problem figure, the second image is mirror image of first when horizontal mirror is placed, similarly, the first option is the correct mirror image of the question figure.
In the second figure, number of lines are not equal, and the fourth image is the mirror replica when vertical mirror is placed.
