Question 324

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.)

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

(7, 15 , 58)

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Second Number = First Number + 8; Third Number = (Second Number × 4) − 2

For the first set (2, 10, 38)

⇒ 2 + 8 = 10

⇒ (10 × 4) − 2 = 40 − 2 = 38.

For the second set (4, 12, 46)

⇒ 4 + 8 = 12

⇒ (12 × 4) − 2 = 48 − 2 = 46.

Applying the same logic to the options, we find Option 1:

(7, 15, 58)

⇒ 7 + 8 = 15

⇒ (15 × 4) − 2 = 60 − 2 = 58.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

Question 325

RRB Technician 2026• General Intelligence & 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)

    TW - RU

  2. BOption (b)

    JM - HK

  3. COption (c)

    PS - NQ

  4. DOption (d)

    IK - FH

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

IK - FH

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is

Logic: 1st Letter of Cluster 1 − 2 = 1st Letter of Cluster 2 and 2nd Letter of Cluster 1 − 2 = 2nd Letter of Cluster 2.

Option 1)  TW - RU,

Option 2)  JM - HK,

Option 3)  PS - NQ,

Option 4)  IK - FH,

This pair does not follow the −2 shift rule. Also, the difference between letters in the other clusters is 3 (T+3=W, J+3=M, P+3=S), while in this cluster it is 2 (I+2=K).

Therefore, the letter-cluster pair that is different from the others is IK - FH.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

Question 326

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)

    LNI

  2. BOption (b)

    NHY

  3. COption (c)

    OQL

  4. DOption (d)

    GID

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

NHY

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is based on the English alphabetical order.

Logic: 1st letter + 2 = 2nd letter and 2nd letter − 5 = 3rd letter.

Option 1) LNI,

Option 2) NHY,

This letter-cluster does not follow the rule.

Option 3) OQL,

Option 4) GID,

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

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

  3. COption (c)

    97

  4. DOption (d)

    93

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

93

Why this answer is correct

Signs Interchange:

Original Sign+÷−×
New Sign÷+×−

 

Given Equation:

536 + 67 × 9 − 22 ÷ 283

After interchanging the signs as per the rules (+ with ÷ and − with ×), the equation becomes:

= 536 ÷ 67 − 9 × 22 + 283

= 8 - 9 × 22 + 283

= 8 - 198 + 283

= 291 - 198

= 93

Therefore, the value that will come in place of the question mark is 93.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Given Expression →

45 L 21 K 7 J 6 I 33 J 9 L 15 I 69 K 3 L 29 = ?

Substituting the mathematical signs for the letters:

= 45 − 21 ÷ 7 × 6 + 33 × 9 − 15 + 69 ÷ 3 − 29

= 45 - 3 × 6 + 33 × 9 - 15 + 23 - 29

= 45 - 18 + 297 - 15 + 23 - 29

= 365 - 62

= 303

Therefore, the value in place of the question mark is 303.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

  3. COption (c)

    E

  4. DOption (d)

    J

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

C

Why this answer is correct

According to the given information, let's arrange the seven people (C, D, E, F, J, K and L) in a row facing north.

Step 1: Only two people sit to the right of D. This means D is in the 5th position from the left.

Step 2: L sits to the immediate left of D. So, L is in the 4th position.

Step 3: Only two people sit between D and E. Since there are only two people to the right of D, E must be to the left of D at the 2nd position.

Step 4: Only two people sit between J and L. L is at the 4th position. Two people between J and L means J can be at the 1st or 7th position.

Step 5: F sits to the immediate right of K. This means K and F must be together in that order (KF).

Final Arrangement:

From the above arrangement, we can see that C sits at the third position from the left end of the row.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Question 330

RRB Technician 2026• General Intelligence & Reasoning

B, C, D, E, G, H and I are sitting around a circular table, facing the centre of the table. Only two people sit between C and D, when counted from the left of D. G sits third to the left of I. B sits to the immediate right of I. B sits second to the left of C. H is not an immediate neighbor of G.

Who sits third to the right of E?

  1. AOption (a)

    H

  2. BOption (b)

    B

  3. COption (c)

    G

  4. DOption (d)

    D

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

B

Why this answer is correct

  1. Since all persons face the centre: Right = counter-clockwise and Left = clockwise. Fix I at position 1. B sits to the immediate right of I (counter-clockwise): I(1) → B(2). Also, B sits second to the left of C, which means C is two places counter-clockwise from B (or B is two places clockwise from C): C(4) → pos(3) → B(2).

  2. G sits third to the left of I (clockwise direction): I(1) → pos(7) → pos(6) → G(5). So G is at position 5.

  3. Two people sit between C and D when counted from the left of D (clockwise): D → skip 2 → C(4). If D is at position 7, skipping pos 6 and pos 5 leads to C at position 4. So D is at position 7.

  4. H is not an immediate neighbor of G (pos 5). Neighbors of G are positions 4 and 6. Thus, H cannot be at pos 6. The only available seat for H is position 3. The remaining person E must be at position 6.

To find who sits third to the right of E, count three places in the counter-clockwise direction from E: E(6) → D(7) → I(1) → B(2). Therefore, B sits third to the right of E.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.
