Question 311

RRB Technician 2026• General Intelligence & Reasoning

FGJL is related to JKNP in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, PQTV is related to TUXZ. To which of the following is NORT related, following the same logic?

  1. AOption (a)

    STWY

  2. BOption (b)

    RSVX

  3. COption (c)

    RSWY

  4. DOption (d)

    RSVP

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

RSVX

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed in this pattern is a consistent alphabetical shift based on the positional values of the letters.

For 'FGJL' related to 'JKNP':

F(6)G(7)J(10)L(12)
+4 ↓+4 ↓+4 ↓+4 ↓
J(10)K(11)N(14)P(16)

For 'PQTV' related to 'TUXZ':

P(16)Q(17)T(20)V(22)
+4 ↓+4 ↓+4 ↓+4 ↓
T(20)U(21)X(24)Z(26)

Applying the same logic to 'NORT':

N(14)O(15)R(18)T(20)
+4 ↓+4 ↓+4 ↓+4 ↓
R(18)S(19)V(22)X(24)

Thus, NORT is related to RSVX.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

Question 312

RRB Technician 2026• General Intelligence & Reasoning

Based on the English alphabetical order, three of the following four letter-clusters are alike in a certain way and thus form a group. Which letter-cluster 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)

    FHG

  2. BOption (b)

    IMK

  3. COption (c)

    LPN

  4. DOption (d)

    RVT

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

FHG

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is based on the positions of letters in the English alphabetical order.

Logic: 1st letter + 4 = 2nd letter and 2nd letter − 2 = 3rd letter.

Option 1) FHG,

This cluster does not follow the rule.

Option 2) IMK,

Option 3) LPN,

Option 4) RVT,

Therefore, the letter-cluster that is different from the others is FHG.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

Why this answer is correct

Given:

Seven boxes (A, B, C, D, E, F, G) are kept one over the other but not necessarily in the same order.

1) Only five boxes are kept above E.

2) Only two boxes are kept between F and E.

3) G is kept below D but above F.

Box A is at position 3 and box B is at position 1. Only box E is kept between them.

Thus, only one box is kept between B and A.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Question 315

RRB Technician 2026• General Intelligence & Reasoning

In a certain code language, ‘PART’ is coded as ‘7642’ and ‘TWIN’ is coded as ‘1356’. What is the code for ‘T’ in that language?

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

6

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is based on identifying common letters between words and comparing them with the common digits in their respective codes.

Given:

PART is coded as '7642'

TWIN is coded as '1356'

Therefore, the code for the letter T must be 6.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Question 316

RRB Technician 2026• General Intelligence & Reasoning

Seven boxes, G, H, I, J, O, K, and L, are kept one over the other, but not necessarily in the same order. Only I is kept above O. Only G is kept between O and K. Only J is kept below L. How many boxes are kept between H and J?

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

One

Why this answer is correct

Given:

Seven boxes (G, H, I, J, O, K, L) are kept one over the other from 1 (bottom) to 7 (top).

1) Only I is kept above O. (This implies I is at the 7th position and O is at the 6th position).

2) Only G is kept between O and K. (Since O is at the 6th position, G must be at the 5th and K must be at the 4th position).

PositionBox
7 (Top)I
6O

3) Only J is kept below L. (This implies J is at the 1st position and L is at the 2nd position).

4) H is kept at the remaining position. (The only vacant position is 3rd, so H is kept there).

Final Arrangement:

7I
6O
5G
4K
3H

The box between H (position 3) and J (position 1) is L (position 2).

Thus, only one box is kept between H and J.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

Question 317

RRB Technician 2026• General Intelligence & Reasoning

LN 17 is related to HJ 23 in a certain way. In the same way, SU 5 is related to OQ 11. To which of the following is NP 9 related, following the same logic?

  1. AOption (a)

    KL 15

  2. BOption (b)

    JL 15

  3. COption (c)

    KM 13

  4. DOption (d)

    JL 13

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

JL 15

Why this answer is correct

Given:

LN 17 → HJ 23:

SU 5 → OQ 11:

NP 9 → ?:

Hence, the final term is JL 15.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

Question 318

RRB Technician 2026• General Intelligence & 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 to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)

    (10, 16, 8)

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

(7, 18, 10)

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Second Number = (First Number × 2) + 4; Third Number = (First Number × 2) − 4

For the first set (5, 14, 6)

⇒ (5 × 2) + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14 (Second Number)

⇒ (5 × 2) − 4 = 10 − 4 = 6 (Third Number)

For the second set (9, 22, 14)

⇒ (9 × 2) + 4 = 18 + 4 = 22 (Second Number)

⇒ (9 × 2) − 4 = 18 − 4 = 14 (Third Number)

Applying the same logic to Option 2

(7, 18, 10)

⇒ (7 × 2) + 4 = 14 + 4 = 18 (Second Number)

⇒ (7 × 2) − 4 = 14 − 4 = 10 (Third Number)

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

Question 319

RRB Technician 2026• General Intelligence & Reasoning

Raman starts from point Y and drives 15 km towards South. He then turns left and drives 21 km, takes a left and drives 69 km. He then takes a left turn and drives 42 km. He takes a left turn, drives 54 km, turns right and drives 26 km to stop at point Z. How far (shortest distance) and towards which direction should he drive in order to reach point Y again? (All turns are 90-degree turns only unless specified.)

  1. AOption (a)

    51 km towards west

  2. BOption (b)

    47 km towards east

  3. COption (c)

    49 km towards east

  4. DOption (d)

    45 km towards west

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

47 km towards east

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is based on the directional movement of Raman starting from point Y.

Step-by-step movement analysis:

  1. Raman starts from point Y and drives 15 km towards South.

  2. He turns left (towards East) and drives 21 km.

  3. He takes a left (towards North) and drives 69 km.

  4. He takes a left (towards West) and drives 42 km.

  5. He takes a left (towards South) and drives 54 km.

  6. He turns right (towards West) and drives 26 km to stop at point Z.

 

Therefore, the required distance and direction is 47 km towards east.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Question 320

RRB Technician 2026• General Intelligence & Reasoning

In a certain code language,

‘A + B’ means ‘A is the son of B’,

‘A @ B’ means ‘A is the sister of B’,

‘A # B’ means ‘A is the wife of B’ and

‘A ÷ B’ means ‘A is the father of B’.

How is Q related to H if ‘Q @ W + R # G ÷ H’?

  1. AOption (a)

    Sister

  2. BOption (b)

    Wife

  3. COption (c)

    Daughter

  4. DOption (d)

    Mother

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

Sister

Why this answer is correct

Given:

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

A is
Symbol+@#div
MeaningSonSisterWifeFather
of B

 

On checking: Q @ W + R # G div H

  1. Q @ W - 'Q @ W' means 'Q is the sister of W'.

  2. W + R - 'W + R' means 'W is the son of R'.

  3. R # G - 'R # G' means 'R is the wife of G'.

  4. G div H - 'G div H' means 'G is the father of H'.

Therefore, Q, W, and H are siblings. Since Q is female, Q is the Sister of H.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.
