Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

53

Why this answer is correct

Given mapping:

LetterABCD
Sign÷×+−

 

Equation: 57 D 34 C 90 A 18 B 6 = ?

Replace the letters with their respective signs.

= 57 − 34 + 90 ÷ 18 × 6

= 57 - 34 + 5 × 6

= 57 - 34 + 30

= 87 - 34

= 53

Therefore, the value that will come in place of the question mark is 53.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Question 512

RRB Technician 2026• General Intelligence & Reasoning

Seven boxes, B, F, G, H, R, T and Y, kept one over the other, but not necessarily in the same order.

R is kept immediately above H. G is kept immediately above T. Only one box is kept between H and T. T is kept above R. Only one box is kept below Y. G or B are not kept at the top.

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

2

Why this answer is correct

Given:

Seven boxes B, F, G, H, R, T and Y are kept one over the other.

1) Only one box is kept below Y.

This implies Y is at the 2nd position from the bottom.

2) R is kept immediately above H.

3) T is kept above R.

4) Only one box is kept between H and T.

Combining these points, the vertical sequence is T - R - H (since R is immediately above H, it becomes the single box between T and H).

5) G is kept immediately above T.

So, the continuous block is G, T, R, H.

6) G or B are not kept at the top.

Since G is already at position 6, it satisfies the condition. For box B, since it cannot be at position 7, it must be placed at the only other vacant spot, which is position 1.

7) F is the only remaining box, so it must be at the top.

Final Arrangement:

7F
6G
5T
4R

The boxes kept above T are G and F. There are 2 boxes above T.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

Question 513

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.)

  2. BOption (b)

    RKL

  3. COption (c)

    PSQ

  4. DOption (d)

    SVT

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

RKL

Why this answer is correct

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

Logic: Second letter = First letter + 3; Third letter = Second letter − 2.

Option 1) UXV,

Option 2) RKL,

This letter-cluster does not follow the +3, −2 pattern.

Option 3) PSQ,

Option 4) SVT,

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

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

Question 514

RRB Technician 2026• General Intelligence & Reasoning

Seven people H, I, J, K, L, M, and N are sitting in a row facing the north.

Only two people are seated to the left of L. Only three people are seated between L and H. I is seated second to the right of J. I is not an immediate neighbour of H. K is seated to the immediate right of M. Who is seated at the extreme left end of the row?

    N

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

N

Why this answer is correct

Logic followed here is.

Based on the given information, seven people are seated in a row facing North. We will place them step-by-step according to the constraints provided.

Step 1: Only two people are seated to the left of L. This means L is at the 3rd position from the left end.

Step 2: Only three people are seated between L and H. Counting three positions to the right of L (4th, 5th, and 6th), H must be at the 7th position (extreme right end).

Step 3: I is seated second to the right of J (Pattern: J _ I). Also, I is not an immediate neighbor of H, so I cannot be at the 6th position. The only valid placement for this pair is J at the 2nd position and I at the 4th position.

Step 4: K is seated to the immediate right of M (Pattern: MK). The only available adjacent seats are the 5th and 6th positions. Thus, M is at the 5th and K is at the 6th position.

Step 5: The only remaining person, N, is placed in the only vacant spot, which is the 1st position (extreme left end).

The Final Seating Arrangement is:

By observing the final arrangement, we can see that N is seated at the extreme left end of the row.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Question 515

RRB Technician 2026• General Intelligence & Reasoning

In the following number-pairs, the second number is obtained by applying certain mathematical operations to the first number. 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 its 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.)

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

35, 210

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Second Number = First Number × 6

For the first set 32, 192

⇒ 32 × 6 = 192.

For the second set 41, 246

⇒ 41 × 6 = 246.

Applying the same logic to the given options:

Checking Option 3: 35, 210

⇒ 35 × 6 = 210.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

Question 516

Why this answer is correct

Given:

Seven boxes (A, B, C, D, E, F, G) are kept one over the other from 1 (bottom) to 7 (top).

1) E is kept fifth from the bottom.

2) C is kept fifth from the top.

3) Only one box is kept between D and C.

Question 517

RRB Technician 2026• General Intelligence & Reasoning

What should come in place of ? in the given series based on the English alphabetical order?

SJT HYI WNX LCM ?

    ARB

  2. BOption (b)

    ABR

  3. COption (c)

    ASD

  4. DOption (d)

    ABS

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

ARB

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Each term in the series is obtained by subtracting 11 from the positional value of each letter of the previous term in the English alphabetical order (in a cyclic manner).

 

Therefore, the term that replaces '?' is ARB.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Question 518

5

Why this answer is correct

Logic followed here is the comparison of common letters and their corresponding numeric codes in the given words.

Given:

SNOW is coded as '1732'

KNOW is coded as '5317'

Therefore, the code for ‘K’ in that language is 5.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Question 519

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’.

  3. COption (c)

    Wife

  4. DOption (d)

    Daughter

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

Brother's wife

Why this answer is correct

Given:

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

A is
Symbol+@#÷
MeaningSonSisterWifeFather
of B

 

On checking the expression: Q # W + R ÷ G @ H

  1. Q # W - 'Q # W' means Q is the wife of W. This implies W is the husband of Q.

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

  3. R ÷ G - 'R ÷ G' means R is the father of G.

  4. G @ H - 'G @ H' means G is the sister of H.

From the family tree, W, G, and H are siblings. W is the brother of H and Q is the wife of W. Therefore, Q is the Brother's wife of H.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Question 520

RRB Technician 2026• General Intelligence & Reasoning

In the following triad, each group of letters is related to the subsequent one following a certain logic. Select from the given options, the one that follows the same logic.

MATH – AMTH – AHTM

MELT – EMLT – ETLM

  1. AOption (a)

    HART – RTAH – AHRT

  2. BOption (b)

    TEAM – AEMT – TEAM

  3. COption (c)

    LEAD – ALDE– ADLE

  4. DOption (d)

    COLD – OCLD – ODLC

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

COLD – OCLD – ODLC

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed in this pattern is based on a specific positional interchange of letters within each triad of words.

Step 1: The first and second letters of the first word are interchanged to form the second word.

Step 2: The second and fourth letters of the second word are interchanged to form the third word.

For 'MATH - AMTH - AHTM':

MATH
1st ↔ 2nd ↓2nd ↔ 1st ↓↓↓
AMTH
↓2nd ↔ 4th ↓↓4th ↔ 2nd ↓
AHTM

For 'MELT - EMLT - ETLM':

MELT
1st ↔ 2nd ↓2nd ↔ 1st ↓↓↓
EMLT
↓2nd ↔ 4th ↓↓4th ↔ 2nd ↓
ETLM

Applying the same logic to 'COLD':

COLD
1st ↔ 2nd ↓2nd ↔ 1st ↓↓↓
OCLD
↓2nd ↔ 4th ↓↓4th ↔ 2nd ↓
ODLC

Thus, the triad COLD - OCLD - ODLC follows the same logic.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.
