Important RRB JE Reasoning Questions

Q1.

What will come in the place of ‘?’ in the following equation, if ‘+’ and ‘−‘ are interchanged and ‘×’ and ‘÷’ are interchanged?
16 ÷ 2 + 22 × 2 − 8 = ? + 3

  • A.

    28

  • B.

    31

  • C.

    32

    ✓ Correct
  • D.

    34

Answer & Solution

Correct option is C

Given:
16 ÷ 2 + 22 × 2 − 8 = ? + 3
Interchange:
+ ↔ −
× ↔ ÷
So the equation becomes:
16 × 2 − 22 ÷ 2 + 8 = ? − 3
​16 × 2 − 11 + 8 = ? − 3
32 − 11 + 8 = ? − 3
40 − 11 = ? − 3
29 = ? − 3
Therefore:
? = 32
Correct Answer: (C) 32
Q2.

What should come in place of the '?' in the given series, based on the English
alphabetical order?

Q8.

C, H, A, N, G and E, each have a different age. C’s age is 21 years, and C is younger than H and older than A. Four people have ages less than 21 years. Only one person is younger than N. G is not the youngest. G is younger than A. Who is the youngest?

  • A.

    N

  • B.

    G

  • C.

    E

    ✓ Correct
  • D.

    A

Answer & Solution

Correct option is C

Given:
​C, H, A, N, G and E, each have a different age.
C’s age is 21 years, and C is younger than H and older than A.
Four people have ages less than 21 years.
Only one person is younger than N.
G is not the youngest. G is younger than A.

Let's arrange the ages carefully.
C = 21 years
C is younger than H → H > 21
C is older than A → A < 21
Four people are younger than 21 → exactly A, N, G, E are below 21
Only one person is younger than N → N is the 2nd youngest
G is younger than A → G < A
G is not the youngest
Since N is 2nd youngest and G is not youngest, the only person who can be younger than N is E.
Thus:
E < N < G < A < C < H
Therefore, the youngest is E.
Correct Answer: (C) E
Q9.

Seven people, A, L, M, I, R, H and S, are sitting in a row, facing north. No one sits to the right of S. Only three people sit between S and H. Only two people sit between H and R. M sits third to the left of L. I sits to the immediate right of L. How many people sit between A and R?

  • A.

    Four

  • B.

    Two

  • C.

    One

  • D.

    Three

    ✓ Correct

Answer & Solution

Correct option is D

Given:
​Seven people, A, L, M, I, R, H and S, are sitting in a row, facing north.
No one sits to the right of S.
Only three people sit between S and H.
Only two people sit between H and R.
M sits third to the left of L.
I sits to the immediate right of L.
So, Three people sit between A and R.
Thus, the correct option is: (d)

Q11.

In a certain code,
'blue pen write' is coded as 'ka tu re'
'red pen draw' is coded as 'mo tu si'
'blue brush draw' is coded as 'ka lo si'
(all the codes are two letter coded only)
What is the code for “blue pen”?

  • A.

    lo si

  • B.

    re ka

  • C.

    mo lo

  • D.

    ka tu

    ✓ Correct

Answer & Solution

Correct option is D

Information Given:
blue pen write → ka tu re
red pen draw → mo tu si
blue brush draw → ka lo si
​Logic: Common word → common code
Let's identify the common words and codes:
blue appears in the 1st and 3rd statements → ka
pen appears in the 1st and 2nd statements → tu
draw appears in the 2nd and 3rd statements → si
Therefore:
blue pen = ka tu
Correct Answer: (D) ka tu
Q12.

A question is followed by two statements numbered (I) and (II). You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question. Read both the statements carefully and decide the appropriate answer.
Six people, A, B, C, D, E and F, are sitting in a straight line facing north. How many people sit to the right of D?
I: No one sits to the right of F. Only two people sit between F and B.
II: D sits to the immediate left of F. E sits to the immediate left of B.

  • A.

    Data in Statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question while data in statement II is not

  • B.

    Data in Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question while data in statement I is not

  • C.

    Data in both statements I and II together (and not statement I alone or statement II alone) are sufficient to answer the
    question

    ✓ Correct
  • D.

    Data in both statements I and II together are NOT sufficient to answer the question

Answer & Solution

Correct option is C

Information Given:
6 people: A, B, C, D, E, F; all face north.
Question: Number of people to the right of D.
Let's solve carefully.
Statement I alone:
No one sits to the right of F → F is at the 6th position
Two people sit between F and B → B is at the 3rd position
But D's position is not fixed.
→ Statement I alone is not sufficient.
Statement II alone:
D sits immediately to the left of F
E sits immediately to the left of B
The exact positions of these pairs are not fixed, so D's position cannot be determined.
→ Statement II alone is not sufficient.
Statements I + II together
From Statement I:
F = 6th position
B = 3rd position
From Statement II:
D is immediately left of F → D = 5th position
E is immediately left of B → E = 2nd position
Arrangement:
_ E B _ D F
Therefore, only one person sits to the right of D (F).
Answer: (C) — Data in both statements I and II together, but neither alone, are sufficient.

Q15.

What should come in place of ‘?’ in the given series?
145, 129, 113, 97, 81, ?

  • A.

    64

  • B.

    61
