Question 1622

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 conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.

Statements:

Some marks are tattoo.

No tattoo is a painting.

Conclusions:

(I): Some marks are painting.

(II): Some tattoo are mark.

  1. AOption (a)

    Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows

  2. BOption (b)

    Both conclusions (I) and (II) follow. 

  3. COption (c)

    Only conclusion (I) follows

  4. DOption (d)

    Only conclusion (II) follows. 

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

Only conclusion (II) follows. 

Why this answer is correct

Given

Statements:

Some marks are tattoo.

No tattoo is a painting.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I.Some marks are painting.

The diagram shows that the part of 'Marks' that is 'Tattoo' cannot be 'Painting'.

However, the remaining part of the 'Marks' circle.

Since this conclusion is not definitely true.

I. Some tattoo are mark.

This is the simple conversion of the first

Statement:

"Some marks are tattoo."

Therefore, this conclusion logically follows.

Only conclusion (II) is a definite logical consequence of the statements.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Question 1625

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

In a row of people all facing north, Mukul is 5th from the right end. Alok is 10th from the right end. Alok is exactly between Mukul and Rohan. If Rohan is 6th from the left end of the line, how many people are there in the row?

  1. AOption (a)

    20

  2. BOption (b)

    23

  3. COption (c)

    26

  4. DOption (d)

    24

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

20

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

Mukul is 5th from the right end.

Alok is 10th from the right end.

Alok is exactly between Mukul and Rohan.

Rohan is 6th from the left end

Now,

The difference in position between M and A is 10 - 5 = 5

Since A is exactly in the middle, the difference in position between A and R must also be 5.

So,  Rohan's position from the Right: = R- A + 5 = 10 + 5 =15

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

⇒ 6 + 15 - 1 = 21 - 1 = 20

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

  2. BOption (b)

    7 km to the east 

  3. COption (c)

    9 km to the west

  4. DOption (d)

    5 km to the west

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

9 km to the west

Why this answer is correct

Given: 

B starts from Point A and drives 16 km towards the south.

He then takes a right turn and drives 12 km, then turns right and drives 19 km. 

He then takes a right turn and drives 21 km.

He takes a final right turn, drives 3 km and stops at Point P.

 

Current Position (P): 9 km East of A and 0 km North/South of A.

Shortest Distance: The distance between (9, 0) and (0, 0) is 9 - 0 = 9 km.

Direction: To move from P (9, 0) to A (0, 0), B must move 9 km in the negative X direction, which is West.

So, B must drive 9 km to the West to reach Point A.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Answer: (b)B.

5th

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

Total Students = 49

Amir's Rank from Right  = 22nd

Amir's Rank from Left = 28th

So, Tarun's position from the left end of the line

Total Students = 49

 Amir's Rank from Right  = 22nd

Amir's Rank from Left = 28th

Tarun is to the Left by 23 positions

Tarun's Final Rank from Left = 28 - 23 = 5th

Either conclusion (I) or (II) follows.

Why this answer is correct

Statements:

All sharks are salmons.

Some salmons are tunas.

Conclusions:

I. Some sharks are tunas. - False(because there is no direct relation is given between shark and tuna, so it can be possible only).

II. No tunas are sharks. - **False(**because there is no direct relation is given between shark and tuna, so it can be possible only)

So, the conclusion is Either conclusion (I) or (II) follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Note: 

Complementary pair

  1. When both the elements of conclusions are the same.

  2. When both the conclusions are false individually.

There are only two different types of complementary pairs, which satisfy the condition of either or.

​1) All - Some not
