Question 334

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

Read the given statements 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 statements.

Statement: All Corns are Cauliflowers. No Cauliflowers are Spinaches.

Conclusion (I): No Spinaches are Corns.

Conclusion (II): Some Spinaches are Corns.

  1. AOption (a)

    Both conclusions (I) and (II) follow

  2. BOption (b)

    Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows

  3. COption (c)

    Only conclusion (I) follows

  4. DOption (d)

    Only conclusion (II) follows

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

Only conclusion (I) follows

Why this answer is correct

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is:

Conclusion

(I) No Spinaches are Corns - Follows (All corns are cauliflowers and no spinach is cauliflowers. Hence, it is false)

(II) Some Spinaches are Corns - Does not follows

(Their is no direct relation between spinaches and corns amy be it is possible but not definite. Hence, it is false)

Only conclusion (I) follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

    217

  4. DOption (d)

    211

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

217

Why this answer is correct

The logic follows here, 

Logic:+20, +24, +28, +32, +36, +40 .(Each difference increases by 4.)

  • 37 + 20 = 57
  • 57 + 24 = 81
  • 81 + 28 = 109
  • 109 + 32 = 141
  • 141 + 36 = 177
  • 177 + 40 = 217

Thus, the missing term in the series is 217.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3';

Question 339

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)

    ON - QP

  2. BOption (b)

    UT - WX

  3. COption (c)

    LK - NM

  4. DOption (d)

    SR - UT

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

UT - WX

Why this answer is correct

The logic follows here, 

Logic: First letter of the second cluster = First letter of the first cluster + 2; Second letter of the second cluster = Second letter of the first cluster + 2.

For ON - QP,

For UT - WX,

For LK - NM,

For SR - UT,

Therefore, the letter-cluster pair that is different from the others is UT - WX.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2"

Question 340

  4. DOption (d)

    8

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

10

Why this answer is correct

Given number: 3164857

When the digits of the number are arranged in ascending order from left to right, the new arrangement is:

 Left   1 3 4 5 6 7 8  Right

  • The third digit from the left is: 4
  • The third digit from the right is: 6
  • Sum of the digit third from the left and the digit third from the right is: 4 + 6 = 10.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.
