RRB ALP 2022 PYQ-pattern questions

Showing 10 of the 19 PYQ-pattern questions in this set — freshly worded in that year's pattern, not the original questions. Answers and solutions open under each question.

  1. Q1 · LCM and HCF

    Find the LCM of 12, 18, and 24.

    • A. 48
    • B. 72
    • C. 84
    • D. 96
    Answer and solution

    Answer: B

    Prime factorization gives LCM = 2³ × 3² = 72.

  2. Q2 · Number System

    Find the smallest number which when divided by 12, 15, and 20 leaves a remainder of 5 in each case.

    • A. 55
    • B. 60
    • C. 65
    • D. 70
    Answer and solution

    Answer: C

    LCM of 12, 15, 20 is 60. Required number = 60 + 5 = 65.

  3. Q3 · Percentage

    If 25% of a number is 60, what is the number?

    • A. 200
    • B. 220
    • C. 240
    • D. 260
    Answer and solution

    Answer: C

    Let the number be x. Then 0.25x = 60, so x = 60/0.25 = 240.

  4. Q4 · Algebra

    If x + 1/x = 5, then what is the value of x² + 1/x²?

    • A. 21
    • B. 23
    • C. 25
    • D. 27
    Answer and solution

    Answer: B

    Square both sides: (x + 1/x)² = x² + 1/x² + 2 = 25. Therefore x² + 1/x² = 25 - 2 = 23.

  5. Q5 · Profit and Loss

    By selling an article for ₹432, a man loses 10%. At what price should he sell it to gain 15%?

    • A. ₹552
    • B. ₹560
    • C. ₹576
    • D. ₹580
    Answer and solution

    Answer: A

    CP = 432/0.90 = 480. To gain 15%: 480 × 1.15 = 552.

  6. Q6 · Elementary Statistics

    The mean of 5 numbers is 40. If one number is excluded, their mean becomes 35. What is the excluded number?

    • A. 55
    • B. 60
    • C. 50
    • D. 45
    Answer and solution

    Answer: B

    Sum of 5 numbers = 5 × 40 = 200. Sum of 4 numbers = 4 × 35 = 140. Excluded number = 200 - 140 = 60.

  7. Q7 · Calendar and Clock

    At what time between 3 o'clock and 4 o'clock are the hands of a clock together?

    • A. 3:16(4/11) minutes
    • B. 3:15 minutes
    • C. 3:18 minutes
    • D. 3:20 minutes
    Answer and solution

    Answer: A

    At x minutes past 3, minute hand is at 6x degrees and hour hand is at (90 + x/2) degrees. When together, 6x = 90 + x/2, giving 11x/2 = 90, so x = 180/11 = 16(4/11) minutes.

  8. Q8 · Mixture and Allegation

    In what ratio must water be mixed with milk costing ₹40 per litre to get a mixture worth ₹32 per litre?

    • A. 1:4
    • B. 1:5
    • C. 2:5
    • D. 1:3
    Answer and solution

    Answer: A

    Using allegation: (40-32):(32-0) = 8:32 = 1:4. Water must be mixed with milk in the ratio 1:4.

  9. Q9 · Alphabetical and Number Series

    Find the missing letter in the series: B, E, I, N, ?

    • A. R
    • B. S
    • C. T
    • D. U
    Answer and solution

    Answer: C

    The differences between positions are: 2, 3, 4, 5 (increasing by 1). B(2)→E(5)→I(9)→N(14)→T(20). Therefore T is the answer.

  10. Q10 · Mathematical Operations

    If 'P' denotes '+', 'Q' denotes '−', 'R' denotes '×', and 'S' denotes '÷', then find the value of 25 P 5 R 4 Q 30 S 6.

    • A. 40
    • B. 42
    • C. 45
    • D. 50
    Answer and solution

    Answer: A

    Substitute symbols: 25 + 5 × 4 − 30 ÷ 6. Using BODMAS: 25 + 20 − 5 = 40.
