Question 1061

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 letter-cluster pair is not based on the number of consonants/vowels in it or their position.)

  1. AOption (a)

    AX−YY

  2. BOption (b)

    KH−JG

  3. COption (c)

    XU−WT

  4. DOption (d)

    HE−GD

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

AX−YY

Why this answer is correct

Logic followed here is: The second letter-cluster in each pair is obtained by subtracting 1 from the positional value of each letter in the first letter-cluster.

  1. AX - YY:

  

  1. KH - JG:

  2. XU - WT:

 

  1. HE - GD:

 

The pattern followed by KH-JG, XU-WT, and HE-GD is a subtraction of 1 from each letter's positional value. AX-YY does not follow this pattern.

Therefore, the odd letter-group pair is AX - YY.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Question 1062

RRB Group D 2025• General Intelligence & Reasoning

In a certain code language,

‘A + B’ means ‘A is the mother of B’,

‘A – B’ means ‘A is the brother of B’,

‘A × B’ means ‘A is the wife of B’,

‘A % B’ means ‘A is the father of B’ and

‘A # B’ means ‘A is the daughter of B’.

If ‘T # Q % C % N # P’, then how is T related to P?

  1. AOption (a)

    father's sister

  2. BOption (b)

    husband's sister

  3. COption (c)

    brother's wife

  4. DOption (d)

    husband's father

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

husband's sister

Why this answer is correct

Given Code Language:

SymbolMeaning
+Mother
−Brother
×Wife
%Father
#Daughter

Given Expression:

T # Q % C % N # P: T is the daughter of Q. Q is the father of C. C is the father of N. N is the daughter of P

Family Structure:

Q is father of C.

C is father of N.

N is daughter of P.

Therefore, P is wife of C.

Since T is daughter of Q and C is also child of Q, T is sister of C.

And P is wife of C.

So, T is the husband's sister of P.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Why this answer is correct

Given:

Tufail walks 100 m towards the north.

Then he turns right and walks 220 m.

Again, he turns right and walks 121 m.

 

So, from the starting point, Tufail is towards the Southeast direction.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Given Mapping:

LetterOperation
A÷
B×
C+
D−

Given Equation:

41 C 9 B 12 A 4 D 10 = ?

Replace the letters with symbols:

41 + 9 × 12 ÷ 4 − 10

→ 41 + (9 × 12 ÷ 4) − 10

→ 41 + (9 × 3) − 10

→ 41 + 27 − 10

→ 68 − 10

→ 58

Therefore, the value that comes in place of the question mark is 58.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

12

Why this answer is correct

Given series: 192, 574, 563, 189, 567

The logic followed here is as follows:

Identify the largest and smallest of the given numbers and then add their corresponding digits.

The largest number is 574 →

The third digit of the largest number = 4

The smallest number is 189 →

Second digit of the smallest number = 8

Sum of the digits:

Result = (third digit of the largest number) + (second digit of the smallest number)

Result = 4 + 8 = 12

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Answer: (d)D.

60

Why this answer is correct

Given:

Original Equation:

12 ÷ 5 + 22 × 2 − 6 = ? + 5

After Interchanging the Operators:

OriginalNew
+−
−+
×÷
÷×

 

Therefore,

12 × 5 − 22 ÷ 2 + 6 = ? - 5

⇒ 12 × 5 − 22 ÷ 2 + 6 = ? - 5

⇒ 12 × 5 - 11 + 6 = ? - 5

⇒ 60 - 11 + 6 + 5 = ?

⇒ 71 - 11 = ?

⇒ 60 = ? 

Therefore, the value of the question mark is 60.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

35

Why this answer is correct

Given:

Jimmy is 19th from the left end.

Shlok is 23rd from the left end and exactly between Jimmy and Ray.

Ray is 9th from the right end.

Step 1:

Jimmy's position from the left = 19

Shlok's position from the left = 23

Since Shlok is exactly between Jimmy and Ray:

Distance between Jimmy and Shlok = 23 − 19 = 4

Therefore, Ray will also be 4 positions away from Shlok on the other side.

So,

Ray's position from the left = 23 + 4 = 27

Step 2:

Ray is 9th from the right end.

Formula:

Total people = Position from left + Position from right − 1

= 27 + 9 − 1

= 35

Therefore, the total number of people in the line is 35.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

RRB Group D 2025• General Intelligence & Reasoning

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

(

Note:

Operations must be performed on whole numbers without breaking them into their component digits. Take 13 for example - operations on 13, such as addition/subtraction/multiplication by 13, etc., can only be performed on 13. Breaking 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

(104, 156, 130)

Why this answer is correct

Logic followed here is:(1st Number + 2nd Number) ÷ 2 = 3rd Number.

For (86, 154, 120) →

Calculation: (86 + 154) ÷ 2 = 240 ÷ 2 = 120

For (98, 172, 135) →

Calculation: (98 + 172) ÷ 2 = 270 ÷ 2 = 135

Similarly, let's find the correct set from the options:

For (104, 156, 130) →

Calculation: (104 + 156) ÷ 2 = 260 ÷ 2 = 130

Therefore, the set that follows the same logic is (104, 156, 130).

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".
