Question 821

RRB Group D 2025• General Intelligence & Reasoning

In a certain code language, ‘bring hot food’ is coded as ‘cf tk rg’ and ‘food is good’ is coded as ‘ml do cf’. How is ‘food’ coded in that language?

  1. AOption (a)

    ml

  2. BOption (b)

    do

  3. COption (c)

    tk

  4. DOption (d)

    cf

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

cf

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Identify the common word in both sentences and match it with the common code appearing in both coded sequences.

Given:

bring hot food → cf tk rg

food is good → ml do cf

So. food → cf

Question 822

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 letter-cluster pair 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)

    BF−EI

  2. BOption (b)

    VZ−YC

  3. COption (c)

    ZD−BI

  4. DOption (d)

    IM−LP

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

ZD−BI

Why this answer is correct

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

Option 1: BF – EI

Option 2: VZ – YC

Option 3: ZD – BI

Option 4: IM−LP

Thus, ZD – BI does not follow the same rule.

Hence, the odd one out is Option 3.

  4. DOption (d)

    DZA−EBD

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

DAC−FCE

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

For, CZB − EBD

For, IFH − KHJ

Now, applying the same logic for DAC − FCE

So, DAC − FCE follows the same pattern correctly.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Question 824

RRB Group D 2025• General Intelligence & Reasoning

If ‘A’ stands for ‘÷’, ‘B’ stands for ‘×’, ‘C’ stands for ‘+’ and ‘D’ stands for ‘−’, then what will come in place of the question mark (?) in the following equation?

21 A 3 C 2 B 6 D 14 = ?

  1. AOption (a)

    5

  2. BOption (b)

    11

  3. COption (c)

    2

  4. DOption (d)

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

5

Why this answer is correct

BODMAS Table: 

Given equation: 21 A 3 C 2 B 6 D 14 = ?

Now, replacing the symbols as:

SymbolABCD
Replaced by÷×+−

 

⇒ 21 ÷ 3 + 2 × 6 − 14 = ?

⇒ 7 + 2 × 6 − 14 = ?

⇒ 7 + 12 − 14 = ?

⇒ 19 − 14 = ?

⇒ 5

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

Question 825

RRB Group D 2025• General Intelligence & Reasoning

All 81 people are standing in a row facing the north. Mr. Hepa is 11th from the left end, while Mr. Annu is 16th from the right end. How many people are there between Mr. Hepa and Mr. Annu?

  1. AOption (a)

    55

  2. BOption (b)

    58

  3. COption (c)

    54

  4. DOption (d)

    56

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

54

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Number of persons between two persons in a row = Total Persons − (Position from Left + Position from Right)

Now, Total Persons = 81

Mr. Hepa = 11th from the Left

Mr. Annu = 16th from the Right

⇒ Number of persons between them = 81 − (11 + 16)

⇒ Number of persons between them = 81 − 27

⇒ Number of persons between them = 54

Hence, the odd one out is Option 3.

For, QTR − NQO

Now, applying the same logic to the options:

Option 1) YAX − UXV

Option 2) YAX − VYW

Option 3) YBZ − VYW

Option 4) YBZ − UYV

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

45

Why this answer is correct

BODMAS Table: 

Given equation: 189 – 153 × 9 ÷ 3 + 195 = ?

Now, if + and − are interchanged and × and ÷ are interchanged, then:

⇒ 189 + 153 ÷ 9 × 3 − 195

⇒ 153 ÷ 9 = 17

⇒ 17 × 3 = 51

⇒ 189 + 51 − 195

⇒ 240 − 195 = 45

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.
