View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

One

Why this answer is correct

Given: A, B, D, J, O, T, and Z are sitting around a circular table facing the center.

1. J sits third to the left of B. 2. A sits to the immediate right of B. 3. A sits second to the left of O

4. Only two people sit between O and D when counted from the left of D. 5. Z is an immediate neighbor of J.Only one place is vacant and one person is left. So, 

The final Arrangement is, 

One people sit between O and Z when counted from the right of O.

Hence, "Option - (3)" is the correct answer.

Question 42

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.

Statements: All vehicles are machines. Some machines are tools.

Conclusions:

(I) Some vehicles are tools. (II) All tools are machines.

  1. AOption (a)

    Both conclusions (I) and (II) follow

  2. BOption (b)

    Only conclusion (II) follows

  3. COption (c)

    Only conclusion (I) follows

  4. DOption (d)

    Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows

Why this answer is correct

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is:

Conclusions:

(I) Some vehicles are tools. - Does not follow (As there is no direct relation between vehicles and tools, maybe it is possible but not definite. Hence, it is false. 

(II) All tools are machines. - Does not follow  ( Some machine are tools and some tools are machines.) Hence, it is false.

Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4"

He then takes a right turn and drives 2 km, turns right drives 15 km. He then takes a left turn drives 21 km. He takes a final right turn, drives 13 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 degrees turns only unless specified.)

  1. AOption (a)

    10 km to the East

  2. BOption (b)

    16 km to the North

  3. COption (c)

    11 km to the South

  4. DOption (d)

    9 km to the West

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

9 km to the West

Why this answer is correct

Given:

  • Mr. Yorly starts from Point A and drives 16 km towards South.
  • He then takes a right turn, drives 14 km, turns right and drives 44 km.
  • He then takes a right turn and drives 2 km, turns right drives 15 km.
  • He then takes a left turn drives 21 km.
  • He takes a final right turn, drives 13 km and stops at Point P

 

The final Diagram,

The direction he should drive in order to reach Point A is 9 km in west direction.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

Question 45

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

In a row of 54 students facing the north, Gagan is 13th from the right end. If Nitin is 17th to the left of Gagan, what is Nitin's position from the left end of the line?

  1. AOption (a)

    27th

  2. BOption (b)

    25th

  3. COption (c)

    23rd

  4. DOption (d)

    30th

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

25th

Why this answer is correct

Given:

Total number of students in the row = 54

Position of Gagan from the right end = 13th

Since Nitin is 17th to the left of Gagan, his position from the right end will be further away.

Position of Nitin from the right end = Position of Gagan from the right end + 17

= 13 + 17

= 30

So, Nitin is 30th from the right end.

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

= (54 + 1) − 30

= 55 − 30

= 25

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

Question 46

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

In a certain code language,

J ÷ Q means ‘J is the brother of Q’,

J x Q means ‘J is the mother of Q’,

J – Q means ‘J is the husband of Q’ and

J + Q means ‘J is the father of Q’.

Based on the above, how is A related to F if ‘A + B ÷ C – D x E ÷ F’?

  1. AOption (a)

    Wife's father

  2. BOption (b)

    Mother's brother

  3. COption (c)

    Mother's father

  4. DOption (d)

    Father's father

Therefore, A is the father of C, who is the father of F → A is the Father's father of F.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

Question 47

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

JDHK is related to OIMP in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, MGKN is related to RLPS. To which of the following is PJNQ related, following the same logic?

  1. AOption (a)

    OUVS

  2. BOption (b)

    OUSV

  3. COption (c)

    UOVS

  4. DOption (d)

    UOSV

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

UOSV

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed in this pattern is a consistent shift in the alphabetical order of each letter.

For 'JDHK' related to 'OIMP':

J(10)D(4)H(8)K(11)
+5 ↓+5 ↓+5 ↓+5 ↓
O(15)I(9)M(13)P(16)

For 'MGKN' related to 'RLPS':

M(13)G(7)K(11)N(14)
+5 ↓+5 ↓+5 ↓+5 ↓
R(18)L(12)P(16)S(19)

Applying the same logic to 'PJNQ':

P(16)J(10)N(14)Q(17)
+5 ↓+5 ↓+5 ↓+5 ↓
U(21)O(15)S(19)V(22)

Thus, PJNQ is related to UOSV.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

F

Why this answer is correct

The logic follows here. 

Logic: Each vowel is replaced by its subsequent letter (+1) and each consonant by its preceding letter (−1) in alphabetical order.

CURRENT
BVQQFMS

New group of letters formed is: B V Q Q F M S

Left B V Q Q F M S  Right

Third from the right in the new group of letters thus formed is F.

Hence, the correct answer is option 3
