Question 841

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 Oranges are Apricots. All Apricots are Apples.

Conclusion I: No Apples are Oranges.

Conclusion II: Some Oranges are Apples.

  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 Apples are Oranges - Doesn't follows

(Their is no direct relation between apples and oranges; maybe it is possible but not definite. Hence, it is false)

(II) Some Oranges are Apples - Doesn't follows

(Their is no direct relation between apples and oranges; maybe it is possible but not definite. Hence, it is false.)

Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows

Hence, the correct answer is " Option 2"

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

J

Why this answer is correct

Given:  J, U, N, I, O, R and S are sitting around a circular table facing the centre of the table.

  1. S sits fourth to the left of R.
  2. O sits fourth to the right of U.
  3. Only two people sit between R and U when counted from the left of R.
  4. N is not an immediate neighbour of O or R.
  5. J is not an immediate neighbour of N

 

The Final Arrangement is,

J sits third to the right of I.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

Question 843

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

What should come in place of the ‘?’ in the given series?

17 30 56 95 147 ?

  1. AOption (a)

    225

  2. BOption (b)

    252

  3. COption (c)

    212

  4. DOption (d)

    221

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

212

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

  • 17 + 13 = 30
  • 30 + 26 = 56
  • 56 + 39 = 95
  • 95 + 52 = 147
  • 147 + 65 = 212

Thus, the missing term in the series is 212.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3';

Question 844

Question 846

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

Each of the digits in the number 8945317 is arranged in ascending order from left to right. The position(s) of how many digits will remain unchanged as compared to that in the original number?

  1. AOption (a)

    NONE

  2. BOption (b)

    THREE

  3. COption (c)

    ONE

  4. DOption (d)

    TWO

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

TWO

Why this answer is correct

Given number: 8945317

Arrange the digits of 8945317 in ascending order.

Original Number8945317
Ascending Order1345789

Now compare the two rows:

  • 4 remains at the 3rd position.
  • 5 remains at the 4th position.

All other digits change their positions.

∴ Two digits remain unchanged

So, the total number of digits whose positions remain unchanged is:2.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.
