Question 81

SSC GD Constable 2026• General Intelligence and Reasoning

Select the option that is related to the third letter cluster in the same way as the second letter cluster is related to the first letter cluster and sixth letter cluster is related to fifth letter cluster.

RD : OW :: NK : ? :: GO : DH

  1. AOption (a)

    KD

  2. BOption (b)

    MF

  3. COption (c)

    KE

  4. DOption (d)

    JD

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

KD

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed in this pattern is a consistent alphabetical shift for both letters in the cluster.

For 'RD' related to 'OW':

R(18)D(4)
−3 ↓−7 ↓
O(15)W(23)

For 'GO' related to 'DH':

G(7)O(15)
−3 ↓−7 ↓
D(4)H(8)

Applying the same logic to 'NK':

N(14)K(11)
−3 ↓−7 ↓
K(11)D(4)

Thus, NK is related to KD.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

    (AX, YY, YZ)

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

(FU, DS, WH)

Why this answer is correct

For '(GI, EG, VT)':

G(7)I(9)
−2 ↓−2 ↓
E(5)G(7)
Opposite ↓Opposite ↓
V(22)T(20)

For '(ZF, XD, CW)':

Z(26)F(6)
−2 ↓−2 ↓
X(24)D(4)
Opposite ↓Opposite ↓
C(3)W(23)

Applying the same logic to '(FU, DS, WH)':

F(6)U(21)
−2 ↓−2 ↓
D(4)S(19)
Opposite ↓Opposite ↓
W(23)H(8)

Thus, (FU, DS, WH) is the group that follows the same logic.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

Question 85

SSC GD Constable 2026• General Intelligence and Reasoning

What is the smallest positive integer that is divisible by all 25, 30 and 40?

  1. AOption (a)

    150

  2. BOption (b)

    200

  3. COption (c)

    300

  4. DOption (d)

    600

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

600

Why this answer is correct

Prime Factorization of the numbers:

NumberPrime Factors
255 × 5 = 52
302 × 3 × 5
402 × 2 × 2 × 5 = 23 × 5

 

 

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

The highest power of 2 is 23 = 8.

The highest power of 3 is 31 = 3.

The highest power of 5 is 52 = 25.

LCM calculation:

LCM = 23 × 31 × 52

LCM = 8 × 3 × 25

LCM = 24 × 25

LCM = 600

The smallest positive integer that is divisible by 25, 30, and 40 is 600.

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 4”.

Question 86

SSC GD Constable 2026• General Intelligence and Reasoning

A fruit seller sold 200 kg of grapes at ₹15 per kg and 100 kg of oranges at ₹10 per kg. Find his total earnings.

  1. AOption (a)

    ₹3,000

  2. BOption (b)

    ₹4,000

  3. COption (c)

    ₹3,500

  4. DOption (d)

    ₹4,500

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

₹4,000

Why this answer is correct

Given:

Price of grapes = ₹15 per kg 

Price of oranges = ₹10 per kg

Earnings from Grapes = 200 × 15 = ₹3,000

Earnings from Oranges = 100 × 10 = ₹1,000

Total Earnings = Earnings from Grapes + Earnings from Oranges

Total Earnings = 3,000 + 1,000 = ₹4,000

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 2”.

Question 87

SSC GD Constable 2026• General Intelligence and Reasoning

Anita is younger than Bhavna but older than Charu. Deepa is older than Bhavna but younger than Ekta. Who is the oldest?

  1. AOption (a)

    Charu

  2. BOption (b)

    Anita

  3. COption (c)

    Deepa

  4. DOption (d)

    Ekta

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

Ekta

Why this answer is correct

Given:

  1. Anita is younger than Bhavna but older than Charu. 

Bhavna > Anita > Charu. 2. Deepa is older than Bhavna but younger than Ekta

Ekta > Deepa > Bhavna.

Combining the two relationships to form a single chain:

Ekta > Deepa > Bhavna > Anita > Charu

From this combined chain, it is clear that Ekta is older than Deepa, Bhavna, Anita, and Charu.

Therefore, Ekta is the oldest among them.

Hence, the correct answer is ‘Option 4’.

  2. BOption (b)

    447

  3. COption (c)

    458

  4. DOption (d)

    441

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

449

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Second Number = (First Number × 3) + 5

For the first pair 365 : 1100

⇒ (365 × 3) + 5

⇒ 1095 + 5 = 1100.

For the third pair 336 : 1013

⇒ (336 × 3) + 5

⇒ 1008 + 5 = 1013.

Applying the same logic to find the missing First Number in the second pair ? : 1352

⇒ (First Number × 3) + 5 = 1352

⇒ First Number × 3 = 1352 − 5

⇒ First Number × 3 = 1347

⇒ First Number = 1347 ÷ 3 = 449.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

  4. DOption (d)

    1332

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

1332

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Second Number = (First Number ÷ 2) + 3

For the second pair 1284 : 645

⇒ (1284 ÷ 2) + 3

⇒ 642 + 3 = 645.

For the third pair 436 : 221

⇒ (436 ÷ 2) + 3

⇒ 218 + 3 = 221.

Applying the same logic to the first pair ? : 669

⇒ (First Number ÷ 2) + 3 = 669

⇒ First Number ÷ 2 = 669 − 3

⇒ First Number ÷ 2 = 666

⇒ First Number = 666 × 2 = 1332.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.
