SIGN - GNSI - NGIS

  1. AOption (a)

    DOVE - OVED - EVOD

  2. BOption (b)

    DIRT - TRID - IRTD

  3. COption (c)

    RAFT - FTRA - TFAR

  4. DOption (d)

    FILE - LEFI - ELFI

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

RAFT - FTRA - TFAR

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is ,

FORT − RTFO − TROF

 

SIGN − GNSI − NGIS

 

RAFT − FTRA − TFAR,

Hence, the correct answer is " Option 3"

Question 942

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 pairs.)

  1. AOption (a)

    PV – MH

  2. BOption (b)

    KQ-IC

  3. COption (c)

    SY – QK

  4. DOption (d)

    VB-TN

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

PV – MH

Why this answer is correct

The position and positional values or English Alphabets are:

PV − MH,

KQ − IC,

SY − QK,

VB − TN,

Therefore, the letter-cluster pair that is different from the others is PV − MH.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

Question 943

  4. DOption (d)

    QSW 15

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

QTW 15

Why this answer is correct

The logic follows here, 

Combining the results, the cluster that replaces the question mark is QTW 15.

Hence, the correct answer is " Option 2"

Question 944

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

In a certain code language,

A ← B means ‘A is the wife of B’,

A ≥ B means ‘A is the brother of B’,

A @ B means ‘A is the father of B’, and

A £ B means ‘A is the daughter of B’.

Based on the above, how is P related to U if 'P £ D ← M @ L ≥ U’?

  1. AOption (a)

    Wife

  2. BOption (b)

    Mother

  3. COption (c)

    Sister

  4. DOption (d)

    Daughter

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

Sister

Why this answer is correct

Given: P £ D ← M @ L ≥ U’

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

Symbol-≥@£
MeaningWifeBrotherFatherDaughter

Therefore, P is the daughter of D and M, and L and U are also children of D and M. P is the Sister of U.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

Question 945

How many such consonants are there, each of which is immediately preceded by a vowel and also immediately followed by a vowel?

  1. AOption (a)

    Three

  2. BOption (b)

    None

  3. COption (c)

    One

  4. DOption (d)

    Two

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

One

Why this answer is correct

(Left) S E S I B V V R R I Y S S P B T K S A P P (Right)

Required Pattern: Vowel → Consonant → Vowel

(Left) S E S I B V V R R I Y S S P B T K S A P P (Right)

 

Therefore, there is only One such consonant that satisfies the given condition.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3"

Question 946

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 man out is not based on the number of consonants/vowels or their position in the letter cluster.)

  1. AOption (a)

    KS – GO

  2. BOption (b)

    YH – UD

  3. COption (c)

    DP – ZL

  4. DOption (d)

    RM – IN

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

RM – IN

Why this answer is correct

The position and positional values or English Alphabets are:

KS - GO,

YH - UD,

DP - ZL,

RM - IN,

Therefore, the letter-cluster pair that is different from the others is RM - IN.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

Question 947

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

Three

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is ,

(Left) L R I D P E Q Y H D V Q U Y L X F H A U Z (Right)

Required Pattern: Consonant - Vowel - Consonant

(Left) L R I D P E Q Y H D V Q U Y L X F H A U Z (Right)

There are a total of three such vowels in the series.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2"

Question 948

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

Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. You have to decide which conclusions logically follow/s from the given statements.

Statements: All vans are trailers. No trailer is a scooter.

Conclusion (I) : No van is a scooter

Conclusion (II) : Some scooters are trailers

  1. AOption (a)

    Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows

  2. BOption (b)

    Only conclusion (I) follows

  3. COption (c)

    Both conclusions (I) and (II) follow

  4. DOption (d)

    Only conclusion (II) follows

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

Only conclusion (I) follows

Why this answer is correct

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is:

(I) No van is a scooter - Follows

(There is no direct relation between a van and a scooter; hence, it is true).

(II) Some scooters are trailers - Doesn't follow

(There is no direct relation established between scooters and trailers; maybe it is possible but not definite. Hence, it is false)

Only conclusion (I) follows.

Hence, the correct answer is " Option 2"

Question 949

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

If 3 is added to each odd digit and 2 is subtracted from each even digit in the number 8254316, then how many digits will appear more than once in the new number thus formed?

Answer: (b)B.

Two

Why this answer is correct

Given number : 8254316

Digit8254316
Condition−2−2+3−2+3+3−2
New Digit6082644
  • Digits in the new number: 6, 0, 8, 2, 6, 4, 4
  • Therefore, 2 digits appear more than once.= 6 and 4

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Question 950

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

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

Two

Why this answer is correct

Original Number: 3 7 4 9 6 8 5

Arrange the digits in ascending order:

New Number: 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Position1234567
Original3749685
New3456789

The digits 3 and 8 remain at the same positions in both numbers.

Therefore, the number of digits whose positions remain unchanged is 2.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2"
