RRB NTPC General Intelligence and Reasoning Test - 3 - RRB NTPC/ASM/CA/TA MCQ

Given:
Eight persons – D, E, G, H, K, L, S and T are sitting in a straight line facing north.

1. E sits second from the left end of the row.
2. No one is sitting between H and E.

As position of E with respect to E is not known yet, therefore there are two possible positions for H.

• Case - (1):

• Case - (2) :

3) G sits fourth to the right of H.

4) K is sitting immediate left of G.

• Case - (1):

• Case - (2):

5) Only two persons sit between K and D.

6) L is sitting third to the right of S.

As there is possible position for D is case - (2), therefore case - (2) is eliminated.

After positioning D, L and S only one position is left which will be occupied by the only person left i.e T.

• Case - (1):

Thus, according to the final arrangement four people i.e K, G, L and D are sitting between S and T.
Hence, "More than three" is the correct answer.

'Photoshop' is related to 'Software'

We can see that "Photoshop" is a specific type of "Software" indicating that "Photoshop" falls under the category of software.

Similarly,

An optical mouse is an advanced hardware computer pointing device that uses light emitting diodes.

The pattern followed here is:
Argument:
A government servant sitting idle tells a visitor to come after 2 weeks to get this certificate attested, as he is very busy and have a lot of work.
Assumptions:
1. The government servant wants to help the visitor → Not implicit → No, the government servant doesn't want to help the visitor if he wanted to help him he would never have delayed his work and gets it done at the same time.
2. The government servant is expecting a favor from the visitor → Implicit → It may happen that the government
servant is expecting some kind of favor and benefit from whom, that's why they delayed his work.
So, Only assumption 2 is implicit.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option A".

The correct mirror image is shown below:

Hence, the correct answer is "Option A".

Given statement:
H < N ≤ C ≤ K = X > T > F
Let us check each option:
option A) X ≥ N → True (N ≤ C ≤ K = X)
option B) H < X → True (X = K ≥ C ≥ N > H)
option C) K > F → True (K = X > T > F)
option D) N > X → False (As H < N ≤ C ≤ K = X, here we can see that N ≤ X)
Hence, "N > X" is NOT true based on the statement.

Here, we need to find the day from the given information.
For, 30 July 2015 was Thursday.
Since 2016 is a leap year = 2 odd days.
So, 30 July 2016 = Thursday + 2 = Saturday
Next, we will count the total number of days of the remaining months:
1 (July) + 31 (Aug) + 3 (Sep) = 35 = 5 weeks = 0 odd day.
Thus, 3 Sep 2016 was Saturday.
Hence, the day was Saturday, 3 Sep 2016.

The logic followed here is:
Given Time: 11 : 40. (Am or Pm not mentioned, it means it is a 24 hours clock)
Now, subtract the given time from 23:60 hrs for the mirror image of 11 : 40.
⇒ 23 : 60 - 11 : 40
⇒ 12 : 20.
Thus, the actual time in the clock is 12:20.
Hence, 'option A' is the correct answer.
Important Points 
For Mirror Reflection Clock:
If it is a 12 hours clock, then subtract the given time from 11:60 hrs.
If it is a 24 hours clock, then subtract the given time from 23:60 hrs.
Alternate Method
The images will be as follow-

Thus, the actual time in the clock is 12:20.
Hence, 'option A' is the correct answer.

The correct logical order is,

6. Publicity

3. Application

5. Exam

1. Interview

4. Selection

Finally, candidate gets Selected to a particular post/Job.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option (B)".

Five friends: Satish, Kishore, Mohan, Anil and Rajesh.
1) Satish is shorter than Kishore but taller than Rajesh.
Kishore > Satish > Rajesh
2) Anil is a little shorter than Kishore but a little taller than Satish.
Kishore > Anil > Satish
3) Mohan is the tallest.
Combining all these statements;
Mohan > Kishore > Anil > Satish > Rajesh
So, Satish is taller than Rajesh but shorter than Anil.
Hence, "Satish" is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

Given:

(left) 434 353 423 224 322 (right)

After 4 is added to the second digit of every number we will get,

(left) 474 393 463 264 362 (right)

Let us check whether the second digit is exactly divisible by the third digit of the number thus formed or not:

474 ⇒ 7 ÷ 4 ⇒ (Not divisible).

393 ⇒ 9 ÷ 3 = 3 (Divisilbe).

463 ⇒ 6 ÷ 3 = 2 (Divisible).

264 ⇒ 6 ÷ 4 ⇒ (Not divisible).

362 ⇒ 6 ÷ 2 = 3 (Divisible).

Thus, there are only three such numbers whose second digit is exactly divisible by the third digit.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Three'.

Given Statements:

I. Some men are weak.

II. No weak is strong.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statement is:

Conclusions:

I. Some weak are men - True (Because, Some men are weak it gives Some weak are men).

II. All strong are men - False (Because, No definite relation given between Strong and Men, so it can be possible only).

III. Some strong are weak - False (Because, No weak is strong).

So, Only conclusion I follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option C".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: 1st number + 6 = 2nd number;

2nd number + 6 = 3rd number.

Now,

For, (14, 20, 26)

⇒ 14 + 6 = 20,

⇒ 20 + 6 = 26.

For, (22, 28, 34)

⇒ 22 + 6 = 28,

⇒ 28 + 6 = 34.

Similarly, (32, 38, 44)

⇒ 32 + 6 = 38,

⇒ 38 + 6 = 44.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option A".

BODMAS Table:

Given equation I. 7 - 5 + 1 × 3 ÷ 6 = 20
Now, if '1 and 6' are interchanged, then:
⇒ 7 - 5 + 6 × 3 ÷ 1 = 20
⇒ 7 - 5 + 6 × 3 = 20
⇒ 7 - 5 + 18 = 20
⇒ 25 - 5 = 20
⇒ 20 = 20
LHS = RHS.
Given equation II: 1 × 7 + 6 - 4 ÷ 2 = 40
Now, if '1 and 6' are interchanged, then:
⇒ 6 × 7 + 1 - 4 ÷ 2 = 40
⇒ 6 × 7 + 1 - 2 = 40
⇒ 42 + 1 - 2 = 40
⇒ 43 - 2 = 40
⇒ 41 ≠ 40
LHS ≠ RHS.
Here, Only Equation I are the correct after interchanging the given symbol.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option A".

The logic followed here is :-

Hence, the correct answer is "64".

Logic : ​

1. First letter → (1) is subtracted from the position value according to the English alphabetic series.
2. Second letter → (3) is subtracted from the position value according to the English alphabetic series.
3. Third letter → (5) is subtracted from the position value according to the English alphabetic series.
4. Fourth letter → (7) is subtracted from the position value according to the English alphabetic series.

So,

​Hence, "DVFA" is the correct answer.

Inference I states that excessive use of pesticides in agricultural production is not good for people. This can be inferred from the statement, which clearly states that extensive use of pesticides can contaminate soil, water, crops and can pose a threat to human beings.

Inference II states that excessive use of pesticides in agricultural production can have a bad effect on water. This can also be inferred from the statement, which clearly states that extensive use of pesticides can contaminate soil and water, and can enter the food chain, posing a threat to human beings.

Therefore, both inferences I and II follow from the given statement.

Hence the correct answer is "Option D".

Given :

• Eight people - A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H are living in a building having eight floors
• The bottommost floor is numbered as 1 to the topmost floor is numbered as 8.

Explanation :

1) E lives five floors above B who lives on an even-numbered floor.

2) D lives on a prime-numbered floor.

3) There are two floors between F and D.

4) B is not adjacent to F and A.

5) G lives above A but below C and lives on an odd-numbered floor.

As is the case - (2), there is no possible position for C, therefore this case is eliminated.

After positioning G, A, and C only one position is left which will be occupied by the only person left i.e H.

Thus, according to the final arrangement seven people are living above H.

Hence, "More than Four" is the correct answer.

There are 8 people sitting in a circle facing the centre: A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H.

1. A is sitting to the immediate right of G and immediate left of E.

2. Second to the right of E is C.

3. D is sitting to the immediate left of C.

4. F is sitting to the immediate left of G.

5. H is the immediate neighbour of F and B.

Clearly, H is sitting to the immediate right of B.

Hence, 'H' is the correct answer.

Given :

• Seven boxes - A, B, C, D, E, F and G
• They are kept in a stack from top to bottom.

​Explanation :

1) Box G is kept at one of the even-numbered positions.

2) Box B is kept immediately below Box G.

3) Box A is kept immediately above Box C, which is neither kept at the bottom nor at a prime numbered position.

As in case -(1) there is no possible position for box C, therefore this case is eliminated.

4) Box D is kept above box E but below box F.

5) Box D is kept at a prime numbered position.

As in case -(3) and Case -(4) the possible position for box D is not at a prime numbered position, therefore these cases are eliminated.

Thus, according to the final arrangement box A is kept at the topmost position.

Hence, "A" is the correct answer.

We know that:

In an ordinary year, there are 365 days and on dividing 365 by 7,

• We get remainder = 1 so this extra one day is taken as odd day.

Similarly, in an leap year, there are 366 days and on dividing 366 by 7,

• we get remainder = 2 so this extra two days is taken as odd days.

Thus, the remainder, which we get after dividing the number of days by 7 is considered as odd days.

Given 21st February 2005 was a Sunday.

Since 2005 is non-leap year.

• Number of odd days from year 21st February 2005 to 21st February 2007 = (1 + 1) = 2 Odd days.

∴ On 21st February 2005, it was Sunday + 2 = Tuesday.

∴ Here, 'Tuesday' is day of the week on 21st February 2007.

Hence, the correct answer is "Tuesday".

Given: T 8 & W 8 # Q 6 R & P T & 6 Q 9 $ D 8 @ 7 H % Y 3 G 5 $ 9 %

Now,

Letters in the following string each of which is preceded by a symbol and followed by a number.

So, needed pattern is: Symbol - Letter - Number.

Here,

There are 'Four' letters which are preceded by a symbol and followed by a number.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option B'.

An ordinary year has 1 odd day and a leap year has 2 odd days.

So, the day on the same date for an ordinary year will be 1 day ahead and the day on the same date for a leap year will be 2 days ahead for the next year.

If 11 August 1918 is Sunday, then the day on these dates will be:

11 August 1919 → Monday

11 August 1920 → Wednesday

11 August 1921 → Thursday

11 August 1922 → Friday

11 August 1923 → Saturday

11 August 1924 → Monday

11 August 1925 → Tuesday

Number of days between 11 August 1925 to 4 December 1925 = (20 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 4) = 115

115 when divided by 7, leaves 3 as remainder.

Tuesday + 3 = Friday

Therefore, it will be Friday on 4 December 1925.

Hence, ‘Friday’ is the correct answer.

Alternate MethodGiven: 11 August 1918 is Sunday.

So, 11 August 1918 to 11 August 1925 = 7 Years (5 Ordinary and 2 leap Year)

In 7 years = (5 × 1) + (2 × 2) = 5 + 4 = 9 days.

And, from 11 August 1925 to 4 December 1925 = 20(Aug) + 30(Sept) + 31(Oct) + 30(Nov) + 4(Dec) = 115 days

Total days = 9 + 115 = 124 days → 124/7 = 17 week and 5 odd days.

So, 4 December 1925 = Sunday + 5 + Friday.

Hence. the correct answer is "Option D".

The logic followed here is:

Here from figures 1 and 2, one surface is common. So we can use one common trick.

Here, A is the common surface,

And, 1 and 3 is the opposite surface.

2 and C is the opposite surface.

So, '1' is opposite to '3'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option B".

The logic followed here is:

Given Sequence: P_RSQ_RP_QR_QS_PP_RS

Now, put the letters in the blank spaces given in the option one by one:

Option 1) QSPSRQ → PQRS / QSRP / PQRS / QSRP / PQRS

• Here the pattern follow is: PQRS / QSRP / PQRS / QSRP / PQRS

Option 2) QSSPRQ → PQRS / QSRP / SQRP / QSRP / PQRS

Option 3) QSRSPQ → PQRS / QSRP / RQRS / QSPP / PQRS

Option 4) QSPQRQ → PQRS / QSRP / PQRQ / QSRP / PQRS

Here, 'Option 1' followed a pattern.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option A".

Friends: A, B, C, D, E, F and G, facing north.

1) ​A is sitting to the extreme right and B to the extreme left.

2) D is the neighbor of A and G therefore D should be 2nd from right and G 3rd from right.

3) C is the neighbor of E and B therefore C should be sitting 2nd from left and E 3rd from left.

• The only position now left for F is in the middle.

Thus F sits in the middle position.

Hence, the correct answer is "F".

The logic followed here is:

Similarly,

Hence, 'YJPECD' is the correct answer.
