Question 111

DSSSB MTS 2026• General intelligence and Reasoning Ability1

In a certain code language, 'TEDI' is coded as '11' and 'SUCBVO' is coded as '13'. How is 'YXJIAZL' coded in the given language?

  1. AOption (a)

    14

  2. BOption (b)

    10

  3. COption (c)

    9

  4. DOption (d)

    12

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

14

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is,

Logic**: code = total number of letters + 7**

For  'TEDI' is coded as '11'

Number of letters in TEDI = 4

Code = 4 + 7 = 11

Also for  'SUCBVO' is coded as '13'

Number of letters in SUCBVO = 6

Code = 6 + 7 = 13.

Similarly, 'YXJIAZL' is coded as 

Number of letters in YXJIAZL = 7

Code = 7 + 7 = 14.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1"

Question 112

DSSSB MTS 2026• General intelligence and Reasoning Ability1

In question, a few statements have been given followed by some conclusions. Consider the statements to be true and answer which of the given conclusions are correct with respect to the statements.

Statements:

No printer is a scanner.

Some scanners are mouses.

Some mouses are keyboards.

Conclusions:

I. Some mouses are scanners.

II. No keyboard is a printer.

III. No keyboard is a mouse.

  1. AOption (a)

    only conclusions I and II do not follow

  2. BOption (b)

    only conclusion II and III do not follow

  3. COption (c)

    only conclusion I does not follow

  4. DOption (d)

    only conclusion III does not follow

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

only conclusion II and III do not follow

Why this answer is correct

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as shown below :

Conclusions:

I. Some mouses are scanners → Follow (As some scanners are mouses. As some part of scanners is common with mouses, therefore it is true.)

II. No keyboard is a printer → Does not follow (As no printer is a scanner, some scanners are mouses and some mouses are keyboards. As no direct relation is given between printer and keyboard, therefore it is false.)

III. No keyboard is a mouse → Does not follow (As some mouses are keyboards. some part of mouses is common with keyboard, therefore it is false.)

Thus, only conclusion II and III do not follow.​

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Question 113

DSSSB MTS 2026• General intelligence and Reasoning Ability1

Which of the following letter-clusters should replace # and % so that the pattern and relationship followed between the letter-cluster pair on the left of :: is the same as that on the right side of ::?

: FTB :: LDK : %

  1. AOption (a)

    = CAJ , % = XHV

  2. BOption (b)

    = CJA , % = XHV

  3. COption (c)

    = JCA , % = XVH

  4. DOption (d)

    = CJA , % = HXV

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

= CJA , % = XHV

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is :- (2) is multiplied with the position value according to English alphabetic series.

​So,

  • = CAJ , % = XHV ⇒ CAJ : FTB :: LDK : XHV

​

              

⇒Here, no similar pattern can be seen.

  • = CJA , % = XHV ⇒ CJA : FTB :: LDK : XHV

​

           

⇒Here, similar pattern can be seen.

  • = JCA , % = XVH ⇒ JCA : FTB :: LDK : XVH

​

             

⇒Here, no similar pattern can be seen.

  • = CJA , % = HXV ⇒ CJA : FTB :: LDK : HXV​

​

               

 

⇒ Here, no similar pattern can be seen.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option - (2)".

Question 114

DSSSB MTS 2026• General intelligence and Reasoning Ability1

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

(NOTE : Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding /deleting /multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is NOT allowed)

(27, 5, 352)

(51, 2, 583)

  1. AOption (a)

    (42, 17, 391)

  2. BOption (b)

    (9, 41, 550)

  3. COption (c)

    (11, 15, 548)

  4. DOption (d)

    (19, 42, 261)

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

(9, 41, 550)

Why this answer is correct

The pattern followed here is:

Logic: (First number + Second number) × 11 = Third number.

(27, 5, 352)

⇒ (27 + 5) × 11 = 32 × 11 = 352 Third number.

And,

(51, 2, 583)

⇒ (51 + 2) × 11 = 53 × 11 = 583 Third number.

Similarly,

(9, 41, 550)

⇒ (9 + 41) × 11 = 50 × 11 = 550 Third number.

Hence, the correct answer is "(9, 41, 550)".

Question 115

DSSSB MTS 2026• General intelligence and Reasoning Ability1

Select the option that is related to the third letter-cluster in the same way as the second letter-cluster is related to the first letter-cluster.

NEUTSE ∶ EFPVXZ ∶∶ ZWURST ∶ ?

  1. AOption (a)

    QXPXAE

  2. BOption (b)

    QXPTWA

  3. COption (c)

    RTSVEA

  4. DOption (d)

    RTVXAE

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

RTVXAE

Why this answer is correct

The positional value table is as follows:

The pattern followed here is:

  • In NEUTSE ∶ EFPVXZ​ 
  • Arrange NEUTSE in Alphabetical order → E E N S T U
  • In ZWURST ∶ ? ​
  • Arrange ZWURST in Alphabetical order → R S T U W Z

​Hence, "RTVXAE" is the correct answer.

Question 116

DSSSB MTS 2026• General intelligence and Reasoning Ability1

In a code, LONDON is written as MPOEPO. What is the word which is written as CPNCBZ?

  1. AOption (a)

    MADRAS

  2. BOption (b)

    DRODCA

  3. COption (c)

    BOMBAY

  4. DOption (d)

    RAJKOT

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

BOMBAY

Why this answer is correct

The position and positional values or English Alphabets are:

The logic followed here is:

For LONDON is written as MPOEPO

Similarly, the letter is written as CPNCBZ?

So, ‘BOMBAY’ will be coded as 'CPNCBZ'

Hence, the correct answer is "Option (3)".

Question 118

DSSSB MTS 2026• General intelligence and Reasoning Ability1

You find that a friend whom you trusted for a long time is a self-centered person and has no respect for others. The best decision you can make is:

  1. AOption (a)

    Separate yourself from your friend.

  2. BOption (b)

    Asking him to change his behavior in order to continue the relationship.

  3. COption (c)

    Sending him for a special training on traditional relations.

  4. DOption (d)

    Continuing your relationship and trying to understand your friend's feelings.

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

Continuing your relationship and trying to understand your friend's feelings.

Why this answer is correct

The correct option is Option 4 i.e. "Continuing your relationship and trying to understand your friend's feelings"

Choosing option 4 means you decide to continue your relationship while attempting to understand and empathize with your friend's perspective. This path involves patience and kindness, aiming to address underlying issues and potentially improve the relationship through dialogue and understanding. However, it's important to also protect your own emotional well-being in the process.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Question 119

DSSSB MTS 2026• General intelligence and Reasoning Ability1

Directions

In the question given below there is a statement followed by two conclusions numbered (I) and (II). You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, and then decide which of the two given conclusions logically follow(s) beyond reasonable doubt, from the information given in the statement.

Statement: The food-grain production in India during 2014-15 is 252.68 million tonnes (MT) as compared to 265.04 MT during 2013-14.

Conclusion I: This is the first time the production of food-grain has fallen when compared to previous year.

Conclusion II: The government has not provided adequate loans to farmers.

  1. AOption (a)

    If only conclusion (I) follows.

  2. BOption (b)

    If only conclusion (II) follows.

  3. COption (c)

    If neither (I) nor (II) follows.

  4. DOption (d)

    If both (I) and (II) follow.

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

If neither (I) nor (II) follows.

Why this answer is correct

Given statement: The food-grain production in India during 2014-15 is 252.68 million tonnes (MT) as compared to 265.04 MT during 2013-14.

From the given conclusions: The conclusion I will not follow as they have mentioned the food grain production for only two consecutive years. We did not have any information about the remaining years. 

Also, we cannot see anything said related to the farmers in the statement and so conclusion II does not follow. 

Thus, neither (I) nor (II) follows.

Hence, the correct answer is 'option 3'.
