Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

RX

Why this answer is correct

For 'MY' related to 'PE':

M(13)Y(25)
+3 ↓+6 ↓
P(16)E(5)

For 'QZ' related to 'TF':

Q(17)Z(26)

T(20)F(6)

Applying the same logic to find the first cluster related to 'UD':

R(18)X(24)
+3 ↓+6 ↓
U(21)D(4)

Thus, RX is related to UD in the same manner.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

Question 245

SSC GD Constable 2026• General Intelligence and Reasoning

If the sum of three consecutive odd numbers is 111, what is the largest number?

  1. AOption (a)

    37

  2. BOption (b)

    35

  3. COption (c)

    33

  4. DOption (d)

    39

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

39

Why this answer is correct

Let the three consecutive odd numbers be x, x + 2, and x + 4.

The sum of these numbers is given as 111.

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 111

3x + 6 = 111

3x = 111 − 6

3x = 105

x = 105 ÷ 3

x = 35

First odd number (x) = 35

Second odd number (x + 2) = 37

Third odd number (x + 4) = 39

Comparing the three numbers 35, 37, and 39, the largest number is 39.

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 4”.

Question 246

SSC GD Constable 2026• General Intelligence and Reasoning

What is the average of the numbers 15, 18, 19, 26 and 30?

  1. AOption (a)

    20.5

  2. BOption (b)

    21.6

  3. COption (c)

    22.0

  4. DOption (d)

    23.0

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

21.6

Why this answer is correct

Sum = 15 + 18 + 19 + 26 + 30 = 108

Number of observations (n) = 5

Average = Sum ÷ Number of observations

Average = 108 ÷ 5

Average = 21.6

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 2”.

Question 247

SSC GD Constable 2026• General Intelligence and Reasoning

Ajay is older than Bharat but younger than Chetan. Dev is younger than Bharat but older than Farhan. Who is the oldest?

  1. AOption (a)

    Ajay

  2. BOption (b)

    Bharat

  3. COption (c)

    Chetan

  4. DOption (d)

    Dev

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

Chetan

Why this answer is correct

Given the relations between the ages of the individuals:

  1. Ajay is older than Bharat but younger than Chetan.

Chetan > Ajay > Bharat. 2. Dev is younger than Bharat but older than Farhan

Bharat > Dev > Farhan.

By combining these two logical chains through the common person Bharat, we get the complete descending order of age:

Chetan > Ajay > Bharat > Dev > Farhan

From this combined chain, it is clear that Chetan is the oldest person in the group.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

  4. DOption (d)

    153 and 351

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

153 and 351

Why this answer is correct

Logic followed here is,

43 + 11 = 54

54 + 22 = 76

76 + 33 = 109

109 + 44 = 153

153 + 55 = 208

208 + 66 = 274

274 + 77 = 351

Missing terms are "153 and 351".

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 4”.

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

437

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Second Number = (First Number × 2) + 1

For the first pair 776 : 1553

⇒ (776 × 2) + 1

⇒ 1552 + 1 = 1553.

For the third pair 133 : 267

⇒ (133 × 2) + 1

⇒ 266 + 1 = 267.

Applying the same logic to the second pair

218 : ?

⇒ (218 × 2) + 1

⇒ 436 + 1 = 437.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

⇒ (18 + 2)2

⇒ 202 = 400.

For the second pair 23 : 625

⇒ (23 + 2)2

⇒ 252 = 625.

Applying the same logic to the third pair

14 : ?

⇒ (14 + 2)2
