    10

  3. COption (c)

    11

  4. DOption (d)

    7

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

8

Why this answer is correct

Given number: 2536841

Arranging the digits in ascending order from left to right, the new number formed is 1234568.

  • The second digit from the left is 2 (1234568)
  • The second digit from the right is 6 (1234568)

So, the sum of the second digit from the left and the second digit from the right is: 2 + 6 = 8.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

Question 374

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 diesels are petrol.

Some petrol are fuels.

Conclusions:

(I) No fuel is petrol.

(II) No petrol is diesel.

  1. AOption (a)

    Only conclusion (I) follows

  2. BOption (b)

    Both conclusions (I) and (II) follow

  3. COption (c)

    Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows

  4. DOption (d)

    Only conclusion (II) follows

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows

Why this answer is correct

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is:

Conclusions:

(I) No fuel is petrol - Doesn't follow (Some petrol are fuels and some fuels are petrol)

(II) No petrol is diesel - - Doesn't follow (Some petrol are fuels and some fuels are petrol)

Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows 

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3"

Question 380

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

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

(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their 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.)

  3. COption (c)

    21, 400

  4. DOption (d)

    15, 256

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

15, 256

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Second Number = (First Number + 1)2

For the first set 13, 196

⇒ (13 + 1)2

⇒ 142 = 196.

For the second set 17, 324

⇒ (17 + 1)2

⇒ 182 = 324.

Applying the same logic to Option 4

15, 256

⇒ (15 + 1)2

⇒ 162 = 256.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.
