Question 711

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)

    PS - OR

  2. BOption (b)

    FI - EH

  3. COption (c)

    LO - KN

  4. DOption (d)

    KN - JL

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

KN - JL

Why this answer is correct

The logic follows here, 

PS − OR,

 

FI − EH,

LO − KN,

KN − JL,

 

Therefore, the letter-cluster pair that is different from the others is KN − JL.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

Question 715

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

DIOR is related to AEJL in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, RSUT is related to OOPN. To which of the following options is IGFB related, following the same logic?

  1. AOption (a)

    FCVA

  2. BOption (b)

    FAVC

  3. COption (c)

    FCAV

  4. DOption (d)

    FVCA

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

FCAV

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed in this pattern is based on a decreasing sequence of numerical subtraction from the positional values of the English alphabet.

For 'DIOR' related to 'AEJL':

For 'RSUT' related to 'OOPN':

Applying the same logic to 'IGFB':

Thus, IGFB is related to FCAV.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

Answer: (c)C.

Three

Why this answer is correct

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

  1. Only four people sit between B and D when counted from the right of B.
  2. O and T are immediate neighbors of J.
  3. Exactly four people sit between A and Z when counted from the left of A.
  4. Z is not an immediate neighbor of O or D

The Final Arrangement is,

There are exactly three people sits between them.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3"

Question 717

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

In a certain code language,

A + B means ‘A is the sister of B’,

A – B means ‘A is the brother of B’,

A x B means ‘A is the father of B’ and

A ÷ B means ‘A is the mother of B’.

Based on the above, how is M related to R if ‘M x N ÷ O – P + Q – R’?

  1. AOption (a)

    Mother's father

  2. BOption (b)

    Brother

  3. COption (c)

    Father

  4. DOption (d)

    Father's father

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

Mother's father

Why this answer is correct

The family tree diagram is , 

Symbol+−×÷
MeaningSisterBrotherFatherMother

Given expression: M × N ÷ O − P + Q − R

​From the family tree, it is clear that M is the father of N, and N is the mother of R (along with O, P, and Q). Therefore, M is the father of R's mother.

Hence, M is the Mother's father of R.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

One

Why this answer is correct

Given original number: 73912685

Given Number73912685
Ascending Order12356789

By comparing the two sequences, we can see that:

  • 7th digit: 8 remains 8 (Unchanged)
  • Therefore, the number of digits whose position remains unchanged is 1.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

Question 720

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)

    QF – MB

    HL – FD

  3. COption (c)

    GT – CP

  4. DOption (d)

    NV – JR

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

HL – FD

Why this answer is correct

The logic follows here, 

For QF − MB,

For  GT − CP,

For  NV − JR,

For HL − FD,

 

Therefore, the letter-cluster pair that is different from the others is HL − FD.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.
