Question 301

DSSSB MTS 2026• General intelligence and Reasoning Ability1

Select the option in which the numbers shares the same relationship in set as that shared by the numbers in the given 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/subtracting /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)

(8, 27, 125)

(64, 1331, 1728)

  1. AOption (a)

    (289, 212, 196) 

  2. BOption (b)

    (200, 215, 256) 

  3. COption (c)

    (125, 172, 144) 

  4. DOption (d)

    (216, 343, 512) 

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

(216, 343, 512) 

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

Logic: All the numbers are perfect cube.

Now,

For, (8, 27, 125)

⇒ 8 = Cube of 2.

⇒ 27 = Cube of 3.

⇒ 125 = Cube of 5.

For, (64, 1331, 1728)

⇒ 64 = Cube of 4.

⇒ 1331 = Cube of 11.

⇒ 1728 = Cube of 12.

Now checking the options,

Option 1) (289, 212, 196) 

⇒ 289 = Not a Cube number.

⇒ 212 = Not a Cube number.

⇒ 196 = Not a Cube number.

Option 2) (200, 215, 256) 

⇒ 200 = Not a Cube number.

⇒ 215 = Not a Cube number.

⇒ 256 = Not a Cube number.

Option 3) (125, 172, 144) 

⇒ 125 = Cube of 5.

⇒ 172 = Not a Cube number.

⇒ 144 = Not a Cube number.

Option 4) (216, 343, 512) 

⇒ 216 = Cube of 6.

⇒ 343 = Cube of 7.

⇒ 512 = Cube of 8.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

    Paternal Grandfather 

  4. DOption (d)

    Maternal uncle 

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

Maternal uncle 

Why this answer is correct

By using the symbols in the table given below, we can draw the following family tree:

Clearly, Kapil is the maternal uncle of Neha.

Hence, ‘Maternal uncle’ is the correct answer.

Question 303

DSSSB MTS 2026• General intelligence and Reasoning Ability1

Which two signs should be interchanged to correct the given equation?

3 × 6 + 2 – 4 ÷ 8 = 13

  1. AOption (a)

    × and -

  2. BOption (b)
    • and × 
  3. COption (c)
    • and -
  4. DOption (d)

    ÷ and +

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

÷ and +

Why this answer is correct

  1. × and –

Given expression: 3 × 6 + 2 – 4 ÷ 8 = 13

After replacing the symbols, we get:

LHS =3 - 6 + 2 × 4 ÷ 8

= 3 – 6 + 1

= 4 – 6

= - 2 ≠RHS

    • and ×

Given expression: 3 × 6 + 2 – 4 ÷ 8 = 13

After replacing the symbols, we get:

LHS = 3 + 6 × 2 – 4 ÷ 8

= 3 + 12 – 0.5

= 15 – 0.5

= 14.5 ≠ RHS

    • and -

Given expression: 3 × 6 + 2 – 4 ÷ 8 = 13

After replacing the symbols, we get:

LHS = 3 × 6 - 2 + 4 ÷ 8

= 12 – 2 + 0.5

= 12.5 – 2

= 10.5 ≠ RHS

  1. ÷ and +

Given expression: 3 × 6 + 2 – 4 ÷ 8 = 13

After replacing the symbols, we get:

LHS = 3 × 6 ÷ 2 – 4 + 8

= 9 – 4 + 8

= 17 – 4

= 13 = RHS

Hence, ‘÷ and +’ is the correct answer.

Question 304

DSSSB MTS 2026• General intelligence and Reasoning Ability1

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

E

Why this answer is correct

Given :

Explanation : If two dice have the same face value in the given image then their clockwise or anti clockwise rotation of the face are formed the opposite pair in dice.

while moving the clockwise direction :

From the both dices :

Dice 1DAB
Dice 2EBA

Now, E is opposite to D

Hence, E is the correct answer.
