Answer: (c)C.

360

Why this answer is correct

For the numbers 5, 8, 9, and 10 →

Number58910
Factors5123322 × 5

The prime factors involved are 2, 3, and 5.

Highest power of 2 = 23 = 8

Highest power of 3 = 32 = 9

Highest power of 5 = 51 = 5

LCM calculation:

LCM = 8 × 9 × 5

LCM = 72 × 5

Question 206

SSC GD Constable 2026• General Intelligence and Reasoning

The average score of 40 students is 72. The average score of another 20 students is 78. Find the average score of all 60 students.

  1. AOption (a)

    73

  2. BOption (b)

    74

  3. COption (c)

    75

  4. DOption (d)

    76

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

74

Why this answer is correct

40 students with an average score of 72 →

Total score = 40 × 72 = 2880

20 students with an average score of 78 →

Total score = 20 × 78 = 1560

let's find the combined average for all 60 students:

Total combined score = 2880 + 1560 = 4440

Total number of students = 40 + 20 = 60

Combined average score = 4440 ÷ 60 = 74

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 2”.

Question 207

SSC GD Constable 2026• General Intelligence and Reasoning

Ravi is younger than Sohan but older than Meena. Arjun is older than Ravi but younger than Karan. Who is the youngest?

  1. AOption (a)

    Meena

  2. BOption (b)

    Ravi

  3. COption (c)

    Arjun

  4. DOption (d)

    Sohan

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

Meena

Why this answer is correct

  1. Ravi is younger than Sohan but older than Meena.

Sohan > Ravi > Meena. 2. Arjun is older than Ravi but younger than Karan.

Karan > Arjun > Ravi.

From the relationship Sohan > Ravi > Meena, we know that Sohan and Ravi are older than Meena.

From the second relationship,

Karan > Arjun > Ravi,

We know that Karan and Arjun are also older than Ravi.

Since Ravi is older than Meena, it follows that Meena is younger than Ravi, Sohan, Arjun, and Karan.

Therefore, Meena is the youngest person mentioned.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

  4. DOption (d)

    1638

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

1638

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Second Number = (First Number × 4) + 6

For the first pair 527 : 2114

⇒ (527 × 4) + 6

⇒ 2108 + 6 = 2114.

Applying the same logic to the third pair

965 : 3866

⇒ (965 × 4) + 6

⇒ 3860 + 6 = 3866.

Similarly, for the second pair

408 : ?

⇒ (408 × 4) + 6

⇒ 1632 + 6 = 1638.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

  4. DOption (d)

    457

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

441

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Second Number = First Number − 278

For the first pair 398 : 120

⇒ 398 − 278 = 120

For the third pair 84 : −194

⇒ 84 − 278 = −194

Applying the same logic to the second pair

719 : ?

⇒ 719 − 278 = 441

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.
