Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

Two

Why this answer is correct

Given: Seven people, Manu, Neha, Ojas, Pritam, Rina, Sita, and Tina, are sitting around a circular table, facing the center.

  1. Rina sits second to the right of Tina and second to the left of Sita.

    Only conclusion (II) follows

  4. DOption (d)

    Both conclusions (I) and (II) follow

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

Only conclusion (I) follows

Why this answer is correct

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is:

Conclusions:

(I) Some pickles are flowers. **- Follow (**Some pickles are seeds. All seeds are flowers. Hence, Some pickles are flowers is true)

(II) All flowers are seeds - Does not follow (Some pickles are seeds. All seeds are flowers.All flowers are seeds is may be possible but not definite Hence, it is false)

Only conclusion (I) follows

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 2”.

If 2 is added to each odd digit and 1 is subtracted from each even digit in the number 1528634, then what will be the sum of the digits that are second from the left and second from the right in the new number thus formed?

  1. AOption (a)

    14

  2. BOption (b)

    13

  3. COption (c)

    12

  4. DOption (d)

    10

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

12

Why this answer is correct

Given number: 1528634

According to information if 2 is added to each odd digit and 1 is subtracted from each even digit in the number ,

Left 3 7 1 7 5 5 3  Right

 

So, the sum of the digit second from the left and the digit second from the right is:7 + 5 = 12.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

Why this answer is correct

The logic follows here, 

For FI − HE − DG:

For LO − NK − JM:

Applying the same logic, 

The correct answer is KN − MJ − IL.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Question 295

RRB NTPC 2026• General Intelligence and Reasoning• General Intelligence and Reasoning

Read the given statement(s) 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 statement(s).

Statements:

All hens are shirts.

All cats are shirts.

Conclusions:

(I) Some hens are cats.

(II) Some shirts are cats.

  1. AOption (a)

    Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows

  2. BOption (b)

    Only conclusion (I) follows

  3. COption (c)

    Both conclusions (I) and (II) follow

  4. DOption (d)

    Only conclusion (II) follows

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

Only conclusion (II) follows

Why this answer is correct

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is:

Conclusions:

(I) Some hens are cats - Does not follow

(As there is no direct relation between the hens and the cats may be it is possible but not definite. Hence, it is false)

(II) Some shirts are cats. - Follow (All cats are shirts and some cats are shirts and some shirts are cats is true)

Therefore, only conclusion (II) follows.

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 4”.

Question 296

RRB NTPC 2026• General Intelligence and Reasoning• General Intelligence and Reasoning

Based on the alphabetical order, three of the following four are alike in a certain way and thus form a group. Which is the one that 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)

    CAD

  2. BOption (b)

    IGK

  3. COption (c)

    FDG

  4. DOption (d)

    KIL

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

IGK

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is,

Logic: First letter − 2 = Second letter; Second letter + 3 = Third letter.

For CAD,

For FDG,

For KIL,

For IGK

Therefore, the letter cluster that is different from the others is IGK.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

RRB NTPC 2026• General Intelligence and Reasoning• General Intelligence and 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 is the one that 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)

    SU-KE

  2. BOption (b)

    DF-WP

  3. COption (c)

    HJ-ZT

  4. DOption (d)

    UW-MG

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

DF-WP

Why this answer is correct

The logic follows here, 

For SU-KE,

For  DF-WP,

For  HJ-ZT,

For  UW-MG,

Therefore, the letter-cluster pair that is different from the others is DF-WP.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

Question 298

RRB NTPC 2026• General Intelligence and Reasoning• General Intelligence and Reasoning

In a row of 214 students facing north, Rt is 164th from the left end. If Kl is 37th to the right of Rt, what is Kl's position from the right end of the line?

  1. AOption (a)

    12th

  2. BOption (b)

    13th

  3. COption (c)

    14th

  4. DOption (d)

    11th

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

14th

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

Total number of students in the line = 214

Position of Rt from the left end = 164th

Position of Kl from the left end = Position of Rt from the left end + 37

= 164 + 37

= 201st

Position of Kl from the right end = (Total number of students + 1) − Position of Kl from the left end

= (214 + 1) − 201

= 215 − 201

= 14th

So, Kl is 14th from the right end of the line.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3"

Question 299

RRB NTPC 2026• General Intelligence and Reasoning• General Intelligence and Reasoning

What should come in place of the ‘?’ in the given series?

352 ? 88 44 22 11

  1. AOption (a)

    164

  2. BOption (b)

    178

  3. COption (c)

    176

  4. DOption (d)

    160

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

176

Why this answer is correct

The logic follows here, 

Logic: Each number in the given series is obtained by dividing the preceding number by 2.

  • 352 ÷ 2 = 176
  • 176 ÷ 2 = 88
  • 88 ÷ 2 = 44
  • 44 ÷ 2 = 22
  • 22 ÷ 2 = 11

Hence, the correct answer is "option 3"

    4

  2. BOption (b)

    0

  3. COption (c)

    7

  4. DOption (d)

    3

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

7

Why this answer is correct

The logic follows here, 

The code for each letter is determined by comparing the given words and their corresponding sets of digits to identify common elements.

Therefore, the code for E is 7.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3"
