Question 761

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.)

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

(16, 8, 384)

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Third Number = (First Number × Second Number) × 3

For the first set (17, 4, 204)

⇒ (17 × 4) × 3

⇒ 68 × 3 = 204.

For the second set (19, 5, 285)

⇒ (19 × 5) × 3

⇒ 95 × 3 = 285.

Applying the same logic to the third set (16, 8, 384)

⇒ (16 × 8) × 3

⇒ 128 × 3 = 384.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

Question 762

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

If ‘A’ stands for ‘÷’, ‘B’ stands for ‘x’, ‘C’ stands for ‘+’ and ‘D’ stands for ‘−’, then the resultant of which of the following would be 4?

  1. AOption (a)

    85 C 5 D 7 A 5 B 22

    85 D 5 A 7 B 5 C 22

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

85 A 5 D 7 B 5 C 22

Why this answer is correct

BODMAS Table: 

LetterOperator
A÷
B×
C+
D−

 

Given: 85 A 5 D 7 B 5 C 22

Substituting the signs in place of lettersand following BODMAS rule:

= 85 ÷ 5 − 7 × 5 + 22

= 17 − 7 × 5 + 22

= 17  + 22 − 35

= 39 − 35

 = 4

Hence, the correct answer is " Option 2"

Question 763

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 pairs.)

  1. AOption (a)

    OM – EY

  2. BOption (b)

    VT – LE

  3. COption (c)

    XV - NH

  4. DOption (d)

    BZ - RL

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

VT – LE

Why this answer is correct

The logic follows here, 

OM – EY,

 VT – LE,

 XV – NH,

 BZ – RL,

Therefore, the letter-cluster pair that is different from the others is VT – LE.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

Question 764

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 ribbons are goats. Some crows are ribbons.

Conclusion (I): Some crows are goats.

Conclusion (II): All goats are crows.

  1. AOption (a)

    Both conclusions (I) and (II) follow

  2. BOption (b)

    Only conclusion (I) follows

  3. COption (c)

    Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows

  4. DOption (d)

    Only conclusion (II) follows

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

Only conclusion (I) follows

Why this answer is correct

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is:

Conclusion :

(I) Some crows are goats-  Follows (  All ribbons are goats. Some crows are ribbons. Some crows are goats is true)

(II) All goats are crows - Doesn't follow

( All ribbons are goats. Some crows are ribbons.All goats are crows is may be possible but not definite)

Only conclusion (I) follows

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2"

D÷

Given equation: 126 B 13 A 42 D 7 C 15 = ?

Replace the letters with the signs and using the BODMAS rule.

= 126 − 13 + 42 ÷ 7 × 15

= 126 − 13 + 6 × 15

= 126 − 13 + 90

= 126 + 90 − 13

= 216 − 13

= 203.

Hence, the correct answer is "option 1"
