View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

Kajal

Why this answer is correct

Eight friends Mansi, Shweta, Monika, Payal, Aarti, Kajal, Laxmi and Rani are sitting around a circular table facing towards the centre (not necessarily in the same order). 

1) Monika is second to the right of Kajal and Kajal is third to the right of Shweta.

2) Payal is to the immediate left of Shweta and Shweta is second to the left of Aarti. 

3) Laxmi is fourth to the right of Shweta and Mansi is the immediate neighbour of both Shweta and Aarti.

∴ Here, 'Kajal' is second to the right of Mansi.

Hence, the correct answer is "Kajal".

Question 114

DSSSB Assistant Superintendent 2026• General intelligence and Reasoning Ability 2

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

(79, 58, 62)

(54, 33, 37)

  1. AOption (a)

    (59, 33, 43)

  2. BOption (b)

    (47, 36, 41)

  3. COption (c)

    (66, 45, 49)

  4. DOption (d)

    (43, 25, 30)

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

(66, 45, 49)

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

(79, 58, 62)

(58 + 62) ÷ 2 + 19 = 79 

120 ÷ 2 + 19 = 79

60 + 19 = 79

79 = 79 (LHS = RHS)

And,

(54, 33, 37)

(33 + 37) ÷ 2 + 19 = 54 

70 ÷ 2 + 19 = 54

35 + 19 = 54

54 = 54 (LHS = RHS)

So, checking each option one by one:

Option 1) (59, 33, 43)

(33 + 43) ÷ 2 + 19 = 59 

76 ÷ 2 + 19 = 59

38 + 19 = 59

57 ≠ 59 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option 2) (47, 36, 41)

(36 + 41) ÷ 2 + 19 = 47 

77 ÷ 2 + 19 = 47

38.5 + 19 = 47

57.5 ≠ 47 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Option 3) (66, 45, 49)

(45 + 49) ÷ 2 + 19 = 66 

94 ÷ 2 + 19 = 66

47 + 19 = 66

66 = 66 (LHS = RHS)

Option 4) (43, 25, 30)

(25 + 30) ÷ 2 + 19 = 43 

55 ÷ 2 + 19 = 43

47.5 + 19 = 43

66.5 ≠ 43 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Thus, out of all the options, '(66, 45, 49)' follows the same logic as given.

Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Question 117

DSSSB Assistant Superintendent 2026• General intelligence and Reasoning Ability 2

  3. COption (c)

    OMWWP

  4. DOption (d)

    OMXWO

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

OMXWP

Why this answer is correct

The position of the English alphabet series is given below:

Logic:

Step 1: Opposite positional letters are written.

Step 2: Addition of +1 in opposite positional letters.

1) 'INNER’ is written as 'SNNWJ'

And,

2) 'GLASS' is written as 'UPAII'

Similarly,

'MODEL' be written as '?'

Hence, the correct answer is "OMXWP".

Question 118

  4. DOption (d)

    F

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

T

Why this answer is correct

The pattern followed here is:

Given: Seven people A, H, D, F, T, E, and G are sitting in a straight row, facing north.

1) Only three people sit to the left of E.

(It means E sits on the middle of the row)

2) A sits at the extreme right of the row.

3) F sits second to the left of E.

4) G and H are immediate neighbours of E.

(Position of G and H is not clear but they sit either side of E)

5)  D is the immediate neighbour of A.

  1. So, T sits on the vacant place.

Clearly, T sits extreme left of the row.

Hence, the correct answer is "T".

Question 120

DSSSB Assistant Superintendent 2026• General intelligence and Reasoning Ability 2

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

7 — 14 — 23

4 — 11 — 20

  1. AOption (a)

    7 — 15 — 22

  2. BOption (b)

    15 — 30 — 20

  3. COption (c)

    5 — 12 — 21

  4. DOption (d)

    9 — 12 — 22

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

5 — 12 — 21

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

Logic: 1st number + 7 = 2nd number; 2nd number + 9 = 3rd number.

Now,

For, 7 — 14 — 23

⇒ 7 + 7 = 14 and 14 + 9 = 23.

For, 4 — 11 — 20

⇒ 4 + 7 = 11 and 11 + 9 = 20.

Similarly, for 5 — 12 — 21

⇒ 5 + 7 = 12 and 12 + 9 = 21.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
