Top Questions on Logical and Analytical Reasoning Skills
- In a computer game, each move requires pressing a button. When the button is pressed for the first time, as a move, the computer randomly chooses a cell from a 4x4 grid of sixteen cells and puts an "X" mark on that cell. When the button is pressed subsequently, the computer randomly chooses a cell from the remaining unmarked cells and puts an "X" mark on that cell. This goes on till the end of the game. The game ends when either all the cells in any one row, or all the cells in any one column, are marked with "X". What is the maximum possible number of times a player has to press the button to finish the game?

In an 8-week course, a professor administered a test at the end of each week. Each of the eight tests was scored out of 4 marks, and a student could only receive a non-negative integer score. Two students, Ravi and Sumana, took the eight tests.
In the first test, Ravi and Sumana scored the same marks. From the second to eighth tests, Ravi scored the exact same non-zero marks. Sumana scored the same marks as Ravi from the fifth test onwards. Ravi’s total marks in the first three tests was the same as Sumana’s total marks in the first two tests. Also, Sumana’s marks in the first test, total marks of the first two tests, and total marks of the eight tests are in a geometric progression.- XAT - 2025

GadRev is a rm that reviews different latest gadgets through a team of four reviewers (R1, R2, R3, and R4). Recently the reviewers reviewed four different tech gadgets (A, B, C, and D) on a scale of 1 to 5 (all integer values) where 1 denotes poor and 5 denotes excellent. These review ratings were then tabulated. However, due to a technical glitch, some of these ratings got deleted. The average rating given by each reviewer, and the average rating given to each gadget were earlier communicated to the team management in a separate email and hence can be useful to retrieve the deleted ratings. The available ratings along with the average ratings are represented in the following table:

The diagram below represents a road network connecting five towns, namely Meeren, Lannisport, Winterfell, Oldtown, and Gulltown. The maximum speed limits along any stretch of road are as shown in the diagram. The straight road that connects Meeren to Gulltown passes through Oldtown. Another straight road, running west to east, connecting Meeren to Winterfell, passes through Lannisport. Further, two straight roads, one from Lannisport to Oldtown and another from Winterfell to Gulltown, are perpendicular to the road joining Meeren to Winterfell, and run from south to north.
Consider a car always travelling at the maximum permissible speed, and always taking the shortest route. It takes 1 hour to reach Oldtown from Meeren, 2 hours to reach Gulltown from Oldtown, and 45 minutes to reach Winterfell from Gulltown. (For this problem, always consider the shortest route in terms of distance.)
