Question 541

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

BGLQ is related to CHMR in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, VAFX is related to WBGY. To which of the following is PUZE related, in the same way?

  1. AOption (a)

    QVJK

  2. BOption (b)

    QVAF

  3. COption (c)

    QVLP

  4. DOption (d)

    QVRT

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

QVAF

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is, 

For 'BGLQ' related to 'CHMR':

For 'VAFX' related to 'WBGY':

Applying the same logic to 'PUZE':

Thus, PUZE is related to QVAF.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

Question 542

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

In a certain code language,

A @ B means ‘A is the mother of B’,

A × B means ‘A is the wife of B’,

A + B means ‘A is the brother of B’ and

A ÷ B means ‘A is the father of B’.

How is S related to H if ‘S × D ÷ R @ Y + H’?

  1. AOption (a)

    Mother's mother

  2. BOption (b)

    Mother's sister

  3. COption (c)

    Mother

  4. DOption (d)

    Sister

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

Mother's mother

Why this answer is correct

Preparing the family tree diagram by using the following symbols:

As per the given information:

Let us first decode the given symbols and then draw a family tree.

Symbol@×+÷
MeaningMotherWifeBrotherFather

 

Given: S × D ÷ R @ Y + H

S is the wife of D and D is the father of R, so S is the mother of R. Further, R is the mother of H. Thus, S is the Mother's mother of H.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Question 543

    ZJC 26

  2. BOption (b)

    ZFB 25

  3. COption (c)

    XHE 26

  4. DOption (d)

    YLI 25

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

ZJC 26

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

 

Combining the results, the missing cluster is ZJC 26.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Question 544

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

Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. You have to decide which conclusions logically follow/s from the given statements.

Statements: All gloves are bandages. No glove is a sling.

Conclusion (I) : Some slings are bandages

Conclusion (II) : All bandages are slings

  1. AOption (a)

    Both conclusions (I) and (II) follow

  2. BOption (b)

    Only conclusion (II) follows

  3. COption (c)

    Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows

  4. DOption (d)

    Only conclusion (I) 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 slings are bandages - Doesn't follow

(There is no direct relation between slings and bandages; maybe it is possible but not definite. Hence, it is false.)

(II) All bandages are slings - Doesn't follow

(There is no direct relation between slings and bandages; maybe it is possible but not definite. Hence, it is false.)

Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows

Hence, the correct answer is "option (3)".

Question 545

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 man out is not based on the number of consonants/vowels or their position in the letter cluster.)

  1. AOption (a)

    UG – QC

  2. BOption (b)

    MJ – IF

  3. COption (c)

    RK – OG

  4. DOption (d)

    RF – NB

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

RK – OG

Why this answer is correct

The logic follows here, 

For  UG – QC,

For MJ – IF,

For RK – OG,

For  RF – NB, 

Therefore, the letter-cluster pair that is different from the others is RK − OG.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.
