Question 91

DSSSB MTS 2026• General intelligence and Reasoning Ability

Three statements are given, followed by three conclusions numbered I, II and III. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.

Statements:

All apples are oranges.

Some oranges are bananas.

All bananas are kiwis.

Conclusions:

I. Some oranges are kiwis.

II. Some oranges are apples.

III. Some apples are bananas.

  1. AOption (a)

    Only conclusions II and III follow

  2. BOption (b)

    Only conclusions I and II follow

  3. COption (c)

    All conclusions follow

  4. DOption (d)

    Only conclusion III follows

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

Only conclusions I and II follow

Why this answer is correct

Statements:

All apples are oranges.

Some oranges are bananas.

All bananas are kiwis.

The Venn diagram as per the given statements:

Conclusions:

I. Some oranges are kiwis. → True (Because some oranges are bananas and all bananas are kiwis, which means some oranges are kiwis is definitely true)

II. Some oranges are apples. → True (Because all apples are oranges, which means some oranges are apples is definitely true)

III. Some apples are bananas. → False (There is no direct relation between apples and bananas, so it can be possible but not definitely true)

Hence, the correct answer is "Only conclusions I and II follow".

Question 92

DSSSB MTS 2026• General intelligence and Reasoning Ability

Study the given diagram carefully and answer the question that follows.

The numbers in different sections indicate themnumber of persons who can drive different vehicles.

What is the difference between the number of persons who can drive all the three vehicles and that of persons who can drive any two of these vehicles?

  1. AOption (a)

    27

  2. BOption (b)

    15

  3. COption (c)

    12

  4. DOption (d)

    21

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

21

Why this answer is correct

According to the given information:

The number of persons who can drive all the three vehicles = 6

Persons who can drive any two of these vehicles = 8 + 7 + 12 = 27

Thus, the difference between the number of persons who can drive all the three vehicles and that of persons who can drive any two of these vehicles = 27 - 6 = 21

Hence, the correct answer is "21".

Question 93

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

FIY

Why this answer is correct

The pattern followed is,

Similarly,

Hence, “FIY” is the correct answer.

Question 94

DSSSB MTS 2026• General intelligence and Reasoning Ability

In the following question, select the number which can be placed instead of question mark (?) from the given alternatives.

23530
35745
723?
  1. AOption (a)

    36

  2. BOption (b)

    24

  3. COption (c)

    42

  4. DOption (d)

    66

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

36

Why this answer is correct

Logic:

In rows, the number at the end is obtained by adding all the three numbers and the resultant is multiplied by 3.

First row:

(2 + 3 + 5) × 3

10 × 3 = 30

Second row:

(3 + 5 + 7) × 3

15 × 3 = 45

Similarly;

(7 + 2 + 3) × 3

12 × 3 = 36

Hence, the missing number is 36.

Question 95

DSSSB MTS 2026• General intelligence and Reasoning Ability

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 son of B’

Based on the above, how is W related to P if ‘W × V # T – R + P’?

  1. AOption (a)

    Husband’s father’s sister’s daughter 

  2. BOption (b)

    Mother’s mother

  3. COption (c)

    Mother’s brother’s son’s wife

  4. DOption (d)

    Mother’s brother’s son’s mother 

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

Mother’s brother’s son’s wife

Why this answer is correct

Family Chart:

Decoding the Symbols:

Symbol+-×#
MeaningMotherBrotherWifeSon

 

Given: W × V # T – R + P

It means: W is the wife of V, V is the son of T, T is the brother of R and R is the mother of P.

 

So, W is the 'Mother’s brother’s son’s wife' of P.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

 24-18-40-6-16-18 is the correct answer .

Question 98

DSSSB MTS 2026• General intelligence and Reasoning Ability

In a row of a few students, P was standing 17th from the left end and 23rd from the right end. If Q was standing exactly in the middle of the row, what was his position from the extreme left end? Assume that the students were facing the north.

  1. AOption (a)

    22nd

  2. BOption (b)

    18th

  3. COption (c)

    19th

  4. DOption (d)

    20th

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

20th

Why this answer is correct

Given:

  • Position of P from left end = 17
  • Position of P from right end = 23
  • Q is in the middle of the row.

To find: Position of Q from left end.

Explanation:

  • Total number of students = Position of P from left end+Position of P from right end - 1
  • \( 17 + 23 - 1 = 39\)
  • So, the position of Q from left end = \((total number of students + 1) / 2 = (39 + 1) / 2 = 20<sup>th</sup>\)

Hence, 20th is the correct answer.

Question 99

DSSSB MTS 2026• General intelligence and Reasoning Ability

In a queue of 80 people, Angelina is 13th from the right and Margareta is 18th from the left. How many people are there between Angelina and Margareta?

  1. AOption (a)

    48

  2. BOption (b)

  3. COption (c)

    50

  4. DOption (d)

    49

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

49

Why this answer is correct

  • Total number of people = 80
  • Position of Angelina from right = 13
  • Position of Margareta from left =18
  • Number of people between Margareta and Angelina = 80 - (18 + 13) = 49

Hence, 49 is the correct answer.
