    UGMP

  4. DOption (d)

    UGPM

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

UGMP

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed in this pattern is a progressive numerical subtraction based on the positional values of the letters in the English alphabetical order.

For 'SMAL' related to 'PIVF':

For 'GWGN' related to 'DSBH':

Applying the same logic to 'XKRV':

Thus, XKRV is related to UGMP.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

Question 874

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 drawings are mountains.

All mountains are planes.

Conclusions:

(I) Some planes are mountains.

(II) All drawings are planes.

  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: (a)A.

Both conclusions (I) and (II) follow

Why this answer is correct

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is:

(I) Some planes are mountains. Follows

(All Mountains are planes; that means some planes are mountain and some mountain are plains.)

(II) All drawings are planes - Follows

(All drawing are mountains, and all mountains are plains.All drawings are planes ) 

Both conclusions (I) and (II) follow.

Hence, the correct answer is " Option 1"

Question 875

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)

    SZ - VD

  2. BOption (b)

    WE - ZJ

  3. COption (c)

    OA - RE

  4. DOption (d)

    BM - EQ

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

WE - ZJ

Why this answer is correct

The logic follows here, 

SZ - VD,

WE - ZJ,

OA - RE,

BM - EQ,

Therefore, the letter-cluster pair that is different from the others is WE - ZJ.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

0

Why this answer is correct

BODMAS Table: 

ABCD
÷×+−

 

Given equation: 41 D 44 C 9 A 21 B 7

Replace the letters with their respective mathematical signs and using the BODMAS rule

= 41 − 44 + 9 ÷ 21 × 7

 

=41 − 44 + (9/21) × 7

= 41 − 44 + (3/7) × 7

= 41 − 44 + 3

= 41 + 3 − 44

=44 − 44

= 0

Hence, the correct answer is "option 2"

13 and 15

Why this answer is correct

BODMAS Table: 

Given Equation: (12 × 8) ÷ 6 + 4 × 13 − (36 ÷ 9) × 15 + 25 = 49

By interchanging numbers 13 and 15 and applying BODMAS rule:

⇒(12 × 8) ÷ 6 + 4 × 15 − (36 ÷ 9) × 13 + 25 = 49

 

⇒ 96 ÷ 6 + 4 × 15 − 4 × 13 + 25 = 49

⇒ 96 ÷ 6 + 4 × 15 − 4 × 13 + 25 = 49

⇒16 + 60 + 25 − 52 = 49

⇒101 − 52 = 49

⇒ 49 = 49

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3"
