    NLO

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

NMP

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is ,

Logic: Each letter in the triplet is shifted by +6 to get the corresponding letter of the next triplet.

The resulting group of letters is NMP.

Hence, the correct answer is "option 1"

Question 634

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)

    ZY−VU

  2. BOption (b)

    UT−PR

  3. COption (c)

    ML−IH

  4. DOption (d)

    JI−FE

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

UT−PR

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is,

For  ZY-VU,

For UT-PR,

For  ML-IH,

For JI-FE,

Therefore, the letter-cluster pair that is different from the others is UT-PR.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

Question 635

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

Immediate right

Why this answer is correct

Given:  Seven people P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6 and P7 are sitting around a circular table facing towards the centre of the table.

  1. P1 sits to the immediate right of P3.
  2. P6 sits third to left of P3. P2 is sitting immediately between P3 and P7.
  3. P5 sits immediately left of P6.

The Final Arrangement is , 

Thus, P4 is at the immediate right of P1.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

Question 637

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 cars are bars.

No car is a sun.

Conclusions:

(I) Some suns are bars.

(II) All bars are suns.

  1. AOption (a)

    Both conclusions (I) and (II) follow

  2. BOption (b)

    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:

(I) Some suns are bars - Doesn't follow

(There is no direct relation between suns and bars; maybe it is possible but not definite. Hence, it is False.)

(II) All bars are suns -  Doesn't follow (There is no direct relation between suns and bars; maybe it is possible but not definite. Hence, it is False.)

Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4"

LetterOperation
D÷
B×
A+
C−

**The given expression is:**16 C 92 D 4 A 12 B 7 C 15 = ?

After replacing the letters and BODMAS rule, 

= 16 − 92 ÷ 4 + 12 × 7 − 15

= 16 − 23 + 12 × 7 − 15

= 16 + 84 − 15 − 23

= 100 − 23 − 15

= 100 - 38

= 62

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2"
