Question 454

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)

    AI - ZF

  2. BOption (b)

    TL - SI

  3. COption (c)

    GY - FV

  4. DOption (d)

    QC - PY

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

QC - PY

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is

For  AI - ZF,

For TL - SI,

For  GY - FV,

For  QC - PY

This pair does not follow the rule.

Therefore, the letter-cluster pair that is different from the others is QC - PY.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

Question 455

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

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

70 80 ? 106 122 140

  1. AOption (a)

    92

  2. BOption (b)

    100

  3. COption (c)

    94

  4. DOption (d)

    96

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

92

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

  • 70 + 10 = 80
  • 80 + 12 = 92
  • 92 + 14 = 106
  • 106 + 16 = 122
  • 122 + 18 = 140

 

The value that should come in place of the question mark is 92.

Hence, The correct answer is "option 1"

Question 456

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

Sitara starts from Point A and drives 23 km towards the west. He then takes a left turn, drives 24 km, turns left and drives 33 km. He then takes a left turn and drives 34 km. He takes a final left turn, drives 10 km and stops at Point P. How far (shortest distance) and towards which direction should he drive in order to reach Point A again? (All turns are 90-degree turns only unless specified.)

  1. AOption (a)

    8 km to the south

  2. BOption (b)

    9 km to the north

  3. COption (c)

    11 km to the east

  4. DOption (d)

    10 km to the south

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

10 km to the south

Why this answer is correct

Given:

  • Sitara starts from Point A and drives 23 km towards the west. He then takes a left turn, drives 24 km, turns left and drives 33 km.
  • He then takes a left turn and drives 34 km.
  • He takes a final left turn, drives 10 km and stops at Point P.

​

 

The correct answer is 10 km to the south.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4"

Question 460

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:

Some cameras are pictures.

Some pictures are monkeys.

Conclusions:

(I) Some cameras are monkeys.

(II) All monkeys are pictures.

  1. AOption (a)

    Both conclusions (I) and (II) follow

  2. BOption (b)

    Only conclusion (I) follows

  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:

(I) Some cameras are monkeys -  Doesn't follow  (Their is no direct relation between camera and monkey; maybe it is possible but not definite)

(II) All monkeys are pictures -  Doesn't follow

(Some Monkey are pictures, and some picture are monkeys.)

Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3"
