Infosys SP 2026 - Logical Reasoning

10 logical reasoning questions matching the Infosys Specialist Programmer pattern. Series, syllogisms, blood relations, directions.

Round focus

This Infosys drill targets logical reasoning with a 20-minute clock, compact answer choices, and explanations that help you review the missed concept after the attempt.

Best attempt pattern

First solve the questions without opening explanations. Mark doubtful items, finish the full set, then compare your score with the answer notes. That gives a clearer signal than checking every solution mid-test.

After the score

Treat the result as a topic map. If the weak area is speed, repeat the same set after one day. If the weak area is concept clarity, move to the matching PapersAdda guide and come back for a timed retest.

Q 1 / 10Number Series 20:00

What comes next in the series: 2, 6, 12, 20, 30, ?

Worked answers for all 10 questions

Attempt the timed test first. Then open each answer to compare the method, not only the option.

1. What comes next in the series: 2, 6, 12, 20, 30, ?

Answer: 42

Differences: 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 → next term = 30 + 12 = 42.

2. If all Roses are Flowers and some Flowers are Red, which is definitely true?

Answer: Cannot be determined

We only know Roses ⊆ Flowers and some Flowers are Red. Roses may or may not be the Red subset.

3. A is B's mother. C is B's father's father. What is C to A?

Answer: Father-in-law

B's father = A's husband. C is father of A's husband = A's father-in-law.

4. If SOUTH is coded as RNTRG, then NORTH is coded as:

Answer: MNQSG

Each letter shifts by −1: S→R, O→N, U→T, T→S, H→G. Apply to NORTH: M, N, Q, S, G.

5. A man walks 10m north, then 20m east, then 10m south. He is how far from start?

Answer: 20m

North and south cancel. Net = 20m east.

6. If TIGER = 20+9+7+5+18 = 59, then LION = ?

Answer: 50

L=12, I=9, O=15, N=14. Sum = 50.

7. Find the odd one out: 125, 216, 343, 512, 625

Answer: 625

125=5³, 216=6³, 343=7³, 512=8³, 625=5⁴. 625 is not a perfect cube.

8. In a row of students, Raj is 7th from left and 13th from right. Total students?

Answer: 19

Total = 7 + 13 − 1 = 19.

9. Complete: AB, DE, HI, MN, ?

Answer: ST

Gaps between first letters: 2, 3, 4, 5 → M+5=R, then +6=S? Check: A→D(+3),D→H(+4),H→M(+5),M→S(+6). Next pair: ST.

10. Which conclusion follows? Statements: All pens are pencils. All pencils are erasers.

Answer: Some erasers are pens

All pens ⊆ pencils ⊆ erasers. So all pens are erasers, which implies some erasers are pens.
