Question 881

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 sister of B’,

A × B means ‘A is the daughter of B’, and

A ÷ B means ‘A is the mother of B’.

Based on the above, how is P related to T if ‘P ÷ Q - R + S × T’?

  1. AOption (a)

    Sister’s daughter

  2. BOption (b)

    Son’s daughter

  3. COption (c)

    Husband's mother

  4. DOption (d)

    Daughter’s daughter

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

Husband's mother

Why this answer is correct

Let us first decode the given symbols and then draw a family tree.

A is
Symbol+−timesdiv
MeaningFatherSisterDaughterMother
of B

Given:  ‘P ÷ Q - R + S × T’

​Based on the family tree, P is the mother of R, and R is the husband of T. Therefore, P is the Husband's mother of T.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

Question 882

Mr. Yorly starts from Point A and drives 11 km towards West. He then takes a left turn, drives 13 km, turns left and drives 30 km. He then takes a left turn, drives 26 km, turns left and drives 5 km. He then takes a left turn and drives 8 km. He takes a final right turn, drives 14 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.)

BEGH is related to HKMN in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, FIKM is related to LOQS. To which of the following is LNPS related, following the same logic?

  1. AOption (a)

    KMOR

  2. BOption (b)

    QSUX

  3. COption (c)

    RTVY

  4. DOption (d)

    MOQT

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

RTVY

Why this answer is correct

The logic follows here, 

For 'BEGH' related to 'HKMN':

For 'FIKM' related to 'LOQS':

Applying the same logic to 'LNPS':

Thus, LNPS is related to RTVY.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

Question 884

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.)

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

(119, 102, 138)

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Second Number = First Number − 17; Third Number = First Number + 19

For the first set (158, 141, 177)

⇒ 158 − 17 = 141

⇒ 158 + 19 = 177

For the second set (164, 147, 183)

⇒ 164 − 17 = 147

⇒ 164 + 19 = 183

Applying the same logic to the option (119, 102, 138)

⇒ 119 − 17 = 102

⇒ 119 + 19 = 138

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

Question 885

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)

    BD - HJ

  2. BOption (b)

    EH - KM

  3. COption (c)

    HJ - NP

  4. DOption (d)

    LN - RT

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

EH - KM

Why this answer is correct

The logic follows here, 

BD - HJ,

HJ - NP,

LN - RT,

EH - KM,

 

Therefore, the letter-cluster pair that is different from the others is EH - KM.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

    NJP 25

  2. BOption (b)

    KPR 36

  3. COption (c)

    GSP 49

  4. DOption (d)

    DOP 36

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

NJP 25

Why this answer is correct

The logic follows here, 

Combining the results, the missing cluster is NJP 25.

Hence, the correct answer is "option 1".

Question 887

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

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

152 140 134 122 116 104 ?

  1. AOption (a)

    98

  2. BOption (b)

    101

  3. COption (c)

    95

  4. DOption (d)

    100

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

98

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

  • 152 − 12 = 140
  • 140 − 6 = 134
  • 134 − 12 = 122
  • 122 − 6 = 116
  • 116 − 12 = 104
  • 104 − 6 = 98

Thus, the missing term in the series is 98.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1';
