Question 581

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: No Race Cars are Tractors. Some Tractors are Trains.

Conclusion I: No Race Cars are Trains.

Conclusion II: Some Race Cars are Trains.

  1. AOption (a)

    Only conclusion (II) follows

  2. BOption (b)

    Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows

  3. COption (c)

    Only conclusion (I) follows

  4. DOption (d)

    Both conclusions (I) and (II) follow

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows

Why this answer is correct

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is:

(I) No Race Cars are Trains - Doesn't Follows

(There is no direct relation between race cars and trains; maybe it is possible but not definite.)

(II) Some Race Cars are Trains - Doesn't Follows

(There is no direct relation between race cars and trains; maybe it is possible but not definite.)

Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows 

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Question 586

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

In a row of 25 students facing North, Vinayak is 13th from the right end. If Utkarsh is 4th to the left of Vinayak, what is Utkarsh's position from the left end of the row?

  1. AOption (a)

    4th

  2. BOption (b)

    8th

  3. COption (c)

    6th

  4. DOption (d)

    9th

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

9th

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

Total number of students in the row = 25

Position of Vinayak from the right end = 13th

Position of Utkarsh from the right end = Position of Vinayak from the right end + 4

= 13 + 4

= 17th

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

Position of Utkarsh from the left end = (25 − 17) + 1

= 8 + 1

= 9th

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Question 587

    SQO

  2. BOption (b)

    SRP

  3. COption (c)

    STV

  4. DOption (d)

    SSO

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

SRP

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is, 

By following the pattern, the missing term in the series MLJ, HGE, CBZ, XWU is SRP.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2"

Why this answer is correct

Given series: (Left) 8 2 6 6 3 1 8 6 4 2 2 8 4 3 4 9 9 3 7 4 6 1 6 (Right)

Required Condition: Even Digit - Even Digit - Odd Digit 

(Left) 8 2 6 6 3 1 8 6 4 2 2 8 4 3 4 9 9 3 7 4 6 1 6 (Right)

There are three such even digits in the series: 6 6 3  ,

 8 4 3 and 4 6 1

Hence the correct answer is  'Option 1'.

Question 590

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.)

  2. BOption (b)

    (23, 4, 185)

  3. COption (c)

    (24, 6, 287)

  4. DOption (d)

    (22, 5, 220)

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

(23, 4, 185)

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

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

For the first set (18, 6, 217)

⇒ (18 × 6 × 2) + 1

⇒ 108 × 2 + 1

⇒ 216 + 1 = 217.

For the second set (21, 6, 253)

⇒ (21 × 6 × 2) + 1

⇒ 126 × 2 + 1

⇒ 252 + 1 = 253.

Applying the same logic to the set (23, 4, 185)

⇒ (23 × 4 × 2) + 1

⇒ 92 × 2 + 1

⇒ 184 + 1 = 185.

Hence, the correct answer is "(23, 4, 185)".
