Question 121

SSC GD Constable 2026• General Intelligence and Reasoning

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

? : XVF :: ANT : WJP :: EUM : AQI

  1. AOption (a)

    XWH

  2. BOption (b)

    BZ1

  3. COption (c)

    YXF

  4. DOption (d)

    AVH

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

BZ1

Why this answer is correct

For 'ANT' related to 'WJP':

A(1)N(14)T(20)
−4 ↓−4 ↓−4 ↓
W(23)J(10)P(16)

For 'EUM' related to 'AQI':

E(5)U(21)M(13)
−4 ↓−4 ↓−4 ↓
A(1)Q(17)I(9)

Applying the same logic to find the cluster related to 'XVF':

B(2)Z(26)J(10)
−4 ↓−4 ↓−4 ↓
X(24)V(22)F(6)

Thus, BZJ is related to XVF.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

Question 125

SSC GD Constable 2026• General Intelligence and Reasoning

What is the smallest positive integer that is divisible by all 12, 15 and 20?

  1. AOption (a)

    60

  2. BOption (b)

    120

  3. COption (c)

    180

  4. DOption (d)

    240

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

60

Why this answer is correct

For the numbers 12, 15, and 20 →

Number121520
Factors2 × 2 × 33 × 52 × 2 × 5

The prime factor 2 appears a maximum of two times (in 12 and 20).

The prime factor 3 appears a maximum of one time (in 12 and 15).

The prime factor 5 appears a maximum of one time (in 15 and 20).

Calculation:

LCM = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5

LCM = 4 × 3 × 5

LCM = 12 × 5 = 60

The smallest positive integer divisible by 12, 15, and 20 is 60.

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 1”.

Question 126

SSC GD Constable 2026• General Intelligence and Reasoning

A person has ₹7600 in the denominations of ₹10, ₹20, ₹50, ₹100, and ₹200 notes. The number of notes of each denomination is equal. Find the total number of notes.

  1. AOption (a)

    130

  2. BOption (b)

    120

  3. COption (c)

    110

  4. DOption (d)

    100

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

100

Why this answer is correct

Let the number of notes of each denomination be x.

The total value of the notes is determined by multiplying each denomination by the count x and then summing them up.

Total value = (10 × x) + (20 × x) + (50 × x) + (100 × x) + (200 × x)

Total value = (10 + 20 + 50 + 100 + 200) × x

Total value = 380 × x

According to the problem:

Total amount = ₹7600

380 × x = 7600

x = 7600 / 380

x = 20

So, the person has 20 notes of each denomination.

Total number of notes = 5 × x

Total number of notes = 5 × 20 = 100

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 4”.

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

270

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

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

For the first pair 1083 : 363

⇒ (1083 ÷ 3) + 2

⇒ 361 + 2 = 363.

For the second pair 2487 : 831

⇒ (2487 ÷ 3) + 2

⇒ 829 + 2 = 831.

Applying the same logic to the third pair

804 : ?

⇒ (804 ÷ 3) + 2

⇒ 268 + 2 = 270.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

44

Why this answer is correct

SCENE is coded as 46 →

Sum of positional values = 19 + 3 + 5 + 14 + 5 = 46

PICTURE is coded as 92 →

Sum of positional values = 16 + 9 + 3 + 20 + 21 + 18 + 5 = 92

Similarly,

let's find the code for RATE:

Sum of positional values = 18 + 1 + 20 + 5 = 44

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 2”.
