Now, if ‘+’ and ‘ב and ‘-' and '÷’ are interchanged, then:

⇒ 38 - 7 × 5 + 20 ÷ 4 = ?

⇒ 38 - 35 + 5 

⇒ 43 -35 

= 8

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

24

Why this answer is correct

Given numbers: 7145362

The digits in the number are 7, 1, 6, 4, 2, 9, 3, 8.

Logic: add 2 to every digit (both even and odd).

New number formed: 9367584 

The sum of the last two and first two digits in the new number thus formed:

Sum = (First two digits) + (Last two digits)

Sum = (9 + 3) + (8 + 4)

Sum = 12 + 12

Sum = 24

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'

Question 1506

RRB Group D 2025• General Intelligence and Reasoning• General Intelligence and Reasoning

Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusion(s) logically follow(s) from the statements.

Statements:

All physicists are chemists.

No chemists are biologists.

Conclusions:

I. No biologists are physicists.

II. Some biologists are physicists.

  1. AOption (a)

    Only conclusion (II) follows.

  2. BOption (b)

    Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows.

  3. COption (c)

    Only conclusion (I) follows. 

  4. DOption (d)

    Both conclusions (I) and (II) follow

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

Only conclusion (I) follows. 

Why this answer is correct

Given

Statements:

All physicists are chemists.

No chemists are biologists.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. No biologists are physicists. 

Since No Chemist is a Biologist, and all Physicists are inside the set of Chemists, it logically follows that No Biologist can be a Physicist.

This is a direct conclusion from the two statements.

II. Some biologists are physicists.  

This is the contradictory statement to Conclusion I.

Since we established that No Biologist is a Physicist, the statement "Some biologists are physicists" is false.

So, Only conclusion (I) follows. 

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Question 1507

RRB Group D 2025• General Intelligence and Reasoning• General Intelligence and Reasoning

If ‘+’ and ‘×’ are interchanged, and ‘–’ and ‘÷’ are interchanged, then what will come in place of the question mark in the following equation?

21 ÷ 57 – 3 × 8 + 4 = ?

  1. AOption (a)

    56

  2. BOption (b)

    23

  3. COption (c)

    45

  4. DOption (d)

    34

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

34

Why this answer is correct

The given interchange rules are: ‘+’ ↔ ‘×’ and ‘−’ ↔ ‘÷’.

The original equation: 21 ÷ 57 − 3 × 8 + 4 = ?

After applying the interchange rules, the new equation is:

21 − 57 ÷ 3 + 8 × 4 = ?

Now, we solve the equation following the BODMAS rule:

= 21 − 57 ÷ 3 + 8 × 4

= 21 − 19 + 32

= 2 + 32

= 34

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".
