Question 1901

RRB Group D 2025• General Intelligence & Reasoning

Ravindra starts from Point Y and drives 18 km towards north. He then takes a right turn, drives 45 km, turns right and drives 42 km. He then takes a right turn and drives 26 km. He takes a right turn, drives 89 km. He then turns left, drives 19 km to stop at Point Z. How far (shortest distance) and towards which direction should he drive in order to reach Point Y again?

All turns are 90° turns only unless specified.)

  1. AOption (a)

    67 km towards north

  2. BOption (b)

    64 km towards west

  3. COption (c)

    61 km towards east

  4. DOption (d)

    65 km towards south

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

65 km towards south

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

Given:

Ravindra starts from Point Y (0, 0)

18 km North

Right turn → 45 km East

Right turn → 42 km South

Right turn → 26 km West

Right turn → 89 km North

Left turn → 19 km West

So, To return to Point Y, Ravindra must move 65 km South.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

Question 1902

RRB Group D 2025• General Intelligence & 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 batteries are torches.

All clocks are torches.

Conclusions:

(I) Some batteries are clocks.

(II) All torches are clocks.

  1. AOption (a)

    Both conclusions (I) and (II) follow.

  2. BOption (b)

    Only conclusion (II) follows.

  3. COption (c)

    Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows.

  4. DOption (d)

    Only conclusion (I) follows.

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows.

Why this answer is correct

Given

Statements:

Some batteries are torches.

All clocks are torches.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. Some batteries are clocks → Does not follow  (Although some batteries are torches and all clocks are torches, there is no definite information that batteries overlap with clocks.)

II. All torches are clocks → Does not follow (The statement says "All clocks are torches," which means Clocks are a subset of Torches. It does not mean that all Torches are Clocks.)

So, neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

Question 1903

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)

    GT - EQ

  2. BOption (b)

    YO - WM

  3. COption (c)

    SW - QU

  4. DOption (d)

    XE - VC

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

GT - EQ

Why this answer is correct

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

Option 1: GT - EQ

Option 2: YO - WM

Option 3: SW - QU

Option 4: XE - VC

Thus, GT - EQ does not follow the pattern.

Hence, the odd one out is Option 1.

3

Why this answer is correct

Given: (Left) 6 9 9 5 8 8 5 4 8 4 2 2 7 6 2 2 7 1 5 9 3 (Right)

Now,

Even digits, which are immediately preceded by an even digit and also immediately followed by an odd digit.

So, Needed pattern is: Even - Even - Odd

(Left) 6 9 9 5 8 8 5 4 8 4 2 2 7 6 2 2 7 1 5 9 3 (Right)

So, total valid even digits = 3

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

Answer: (d)D.

56

Why this answer is correct

BODMAS Table: 

Decoding the given information:

AlphabetABCD
Meaning÷×+−

Now, replacing the sign from left to right using BODMAS Rule, we get:

⇒ 14 × 2 − 18 ÷ 9 + 12 + 18 = ?

⇒ 28 − 2 + 12 + 18 = ?

⇒ 58 − 2 = ?

⇒ 56

Hence, the correct option is "Option 4".

Question 1910

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.)

  3. COption (c)

    (38, 14, 3)

  4. DOption (d)

    (26, 13, 2)

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

(26, 13, 2)

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

Logic: First Number = Second Number × Third Number.

For, (48, 12, 4)

⇒ 12 × 4 = 48

For, (30, 2, 15)

⇒ 2 × 15 = 30

Now, checking the options using the same pattern:

Option 1) (64, 8, 6)

⇒ 8 × 6 = 48 ≠ 64

Option 2) (70, 8, 9)

⇒ 8 × 9 = 72 ≠ 70

Option 3) (38, 14, 3)

⇒ 14 × 3 = 42 ≠ 38

Option 4) (26, 13, 2)

⇒ 13 × 2 = 26

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.
