Question 1981

RRB Group D 2025• General Intelligence & Reasoning

​​​Based on the English alphabetical order, three of the following four letter-cluster pairs are alike in a certain way and thus form a group. Which is the letter-cluster pair that DOES NOT belong to that group?

(

Note:

The odd one out is not based on the number of consonants/vowels or their position in the letter-cluster.)

  1. AOption (a)

    KM - SV

  2. BOption (b)

    EG - MO

  3. COption (c)

    CE - KM

  4. DOption (d)

    BD - JL

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

KM - SV

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is based on the alphabetical position pattern:

Option 1: KM - SV

Option 2: EG - MO

Option 3: CE - KM

Option 4: BD - JL

Thus, KM - SV does not follow the pattern.

Hence, the odd one out is Option 1.

Question 1994

RRB Group D 2025• General Intelligence & Reasoning

Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets.

(

Note:

Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)

    49 - 21 - 80

  2. BOption (b)

    16 - 20 - 46

  3. COption (c)

    50 - 22 - 72

  4. DOption (d)

    44 - 20 - 85

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

50 - 22 - 72

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Third Number = First Number + Second Number.

For, (23 - 10 - 33)

⇒ 23 + 10 = 33

For, (4 - 13 - 17)

⇒ 4 + 13 = 17

Now, checking the options using the same pattern:

Option 1) 49 - 21 - 80

⇒ 49 + 21 = 70 ≠ 80

Option 2) 16 - 20 - 46

⇒ 16 + 20 = 36 ≠ 46

Option 3) 50 - 22 - 72

⇒ 50 + 22 = 72

Option 4) 44 - 20 - 85

⇒ 44 + 20 = 64 ≠ 85

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.
