Question 892

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

In a row of 42 people facing the north, Amala sits 18th from the left end. If only 12 people sit to the right of Sneha, then how many people sit between Amala and Sneha?

  1. AOption (a)

    9

  2. BOption (b)

    12

  3. COption (c)

    10

  4. DOption (d)

    11

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

11

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

  • Total number of people in the row = 42
  • Position of Amala from the left end = 18th
  • Number of people sitting to the right of Sneha = 12

Position of Sneha from the left end = Total number of people − Number of people to her right

= 42 − 12

= 30th

Number of people between Amala and Sneha = (Position of Sneha from the left − Position of Amala from the left) − 1

= (30 − 18) − 1

= 12 − 1

= 11

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

620

Why this answer is correct

BODMAS Table: 

Signs and their coded meanings:

Original Sign+−×÷
Coded Sign−×÷+

 

**The given equation is:**62 − 9 ÷ 94 + 480 × 15 = ?

After replacing the signs according to the table and applying BODMAS rule**:**

= 62 × 9 + 94 − 480 ÷ 15

= 62 × 9 + 94 − 32

= 558 + 94 − 32

= 652 − 32

= 620

Hence, the correct answer is " Option 3"

Question 899

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 tables are boxes.

Some boxes are desktops.

Conclusions:

(I) Some tables are desktops.

(II) Some boxes are tables.

  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: (d)D.

Only conclusion (II) follows

Why this answer is correct

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is:

(I) Some tables are desktops - Doesn't follow

(All tables are Boxes and some boxes are desktop. Hence some tables are desktops is false)

(II) Some boxes are tables - Follow

All tables are boxes. Some tables are boxes and some boxes are tables.

Only conclusion (II) follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4"

Question 900

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

In a row of 54 students facing the north, Gagan is 13th from the right end. If Nitin is 17th to the left of Gagan, what is Nitin's position from the left end of the row?

  1. AOption (a)

    30th

  2. BOption (b)

    25th

  3. COption (c)

    23rd

  4. DOption (d)

    27th

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

25th

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

Total number of students in the row = 54

Position of Gagan from the right end = 13th

Position of Nitin from the right end = Position of Gagan from the right + 17

= 13 + 17

= 30th

Position of Nitin from the left end = (Total number of students − Position of Nitin from the right end) + 1

= (54 − 30) + 1

= 24 + 1

= 25th

So, Nitin is 25th from the left end of the row.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2"
