  1. AOption (a)

    FI −4

  2. BOption (b)

    FJ −4

  3. COption (c)

    EJ −2

  4. DOption (d)

    EI −2

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

EJ −2

Why this answer is correct

The logic follows here, 

LL 22 is related to JH 6,

CR 20 is related to AN 4,

GN 14 related to ?

Therefore, the related term is EJ −2.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

Four

Why this answer is correct

Given: (Left) 1 1 9 4 8 6 9 2 4 2 8 9 7 1 3 2 7 5 8 2 1 5 3 (Right)

  3. COption (c)

    Immediate left

  4. DOption (d)

    Second to the right

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

Immediate right

Why this answer is correct

Given: Seven people X, Y, Z, A, B, C and D are sitting around a circular table facing towards the centre of the table.

  1. D sits third to the right of Y.
  2. B is sitting immediately between X and C.
  3. Z sits second to the right of X

The Final Arrangement is, 

A sits at the immediate right of Z.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

Question 744

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:

Some leaves are trees.

All chairs are trees.

Conclusions:

(I) Some leaves are chairs.

(II) All trees are chairs.

  1. AOption (a)

    Only conclusion (I) follows

  2. BOption (b)

    Only conclusion (II) follows

  3. COption (c)

    Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows

  4. DOption (d)

    Both conclusions (I) and (II) follow

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 leaves are chairs - Doesn't follow (As their is no direct relation between leaves and chair may be it is possible but not definite)

(II) All trees are chairs - Doesn't follow

(All chairs are trees but all trees are chairs is not definite. Hence, it is false)

Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3"

Question 746

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

Abhinav starts from Point A and drives 16 km towards the west. He then takes a right turn, drives 8 km, turns right and drives 19 km. He then takes a right turn and drives 14 km. He takes a final right turn, drives 3 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-degree turns only unless specified.)

  1. AOption (a)

    6 km to the north

  2. BOption (b)

    5 km to the north

  3. COption (c)

    5 km to the south

  4. DOption (d)

    6 km to the south

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

6 km to the north

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is,

  1. Abhinav starts from Point A and drives 16 km towards the west.
  2. He then takes a right turn, drives 8 km, turns right and drives 19 km.
  3. He then takes a right turn and drives 14 km.
  4. He takes a final right turn, drives 3 km and stops at Point P.

The Final Arrangement is, 

Since Point P is 6 km south of Point A, to reach Point A again from Point P, Abhinav must travel the same distance in the opposite direction.

Hence, the correct answer is "option 1"

Question 747

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

In a certain code language,

A : B means ‘A is the father of B’,

A @ B means ‘A is the mother of B’,

A ? B means ‘A is the wife of B’ and

A + B means ‘A is the daughter of B’.

How is C related to R if ‘C ? O : V @ E + R’?

  1. AOption (a)

    Wife's brother

  2. BOption (b)

    Wife's sister

  3. COption (c)

    Wife's mother

  4. DOption (d)

    Wife's father

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

Wife's mother

Why this answer is correct

The family tree diagram is
