Question 923

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.)

(5, 8, 14)

(19, 22, 28)

  1. AOption (a)

    (34, 37, 43)

  2. BOption (b)

    (26, 29, 34)

  3. COption (c)

    (15, 18, 34)

  4. DOption (d)

    (41, 44, 52)

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

(34, 37, 43)

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Second Number = First Number + 3; Third Number = Second Number + 6

For the first set (5, 8, 14)

⇒ 5 + 3 = 8

⇒ 8 + 6 = 14

For the second set (19, 22, 28)

⇒ 19 + 3 = 22

⇒ 22 + 6 = 28

Applying the same logic to the set in Option 1

(34, 37, 43)

⇒ 34 + 3 = 37

⇒ 37 + 6 = 43

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

Question 924

  2. BOption (b)

    FQK : JKL

  3. COption (c)

    SOT : WJS

  4. DOption (d)

    LRD : PLC

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

LRD : PLC

Why this answer is correct

The logic follows here, 

For 'DKW' related to 'HEV':

For 'EGK' related to 'IAJ':

Applying the same logic 'LRD : PLC',

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

BODMAS Table: 

Original SignNew Sign
+−
−×
×÷
÷+

 

**The given equation is:**41 − 16 ÷ 271 + 611 × 13 = ?

After replacing the signs and applying BODMAS rule, the new equation becomes:

= 41 × 16 + 271 − 611 ÷ 13

= 41 × 16 + 271 − 47

= 656 + 271 − 47

= 927 − 47

= 880

Hence, the correct answer is "option 1"
