RRB Group D 2021 PYQ-pattern questions

Showing 10 of the 17 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 · BODMAS

    Find the value of: 15 + 18 ÷ 6 × 3 - 5

    • A. 19
    • B. 21
    • C. 23
    • D. 25
    Answer and solution

    Answer: A

    Using BODMAS: 15 + 18 ÷ 6 × 3 - 5 = 15 + 3 × 3 - 5 = 15 + 9 - 5 = 19.

  2. Q2 · Profit and Loss

    If the cost price of 12 articles equals the selling price of 10 articles, find the profit percentage.

    • A. 15%
    • B. 18%
    • C. 20%
    • D. 25%
    Answer and solution

    Answer: C

    Let CP of each = ₹1. Total CP = ₹12. SP = ₹12 for 10 articles, so SP of each = ₹1.2. Profit% = 20%.

  3. Q3 · Square Root

    If √(x + 9) = 7, then what is the value of x?

    • A. 38
    • B. 40
    • C. 42
    • D. 44
    Answer and solution

    Answer: B

    Squaring both sides: x + 9 = 49, so x = 49 - 9 = 40.

  4. Q4 · Geometry

    Find the area of a rectangle with length 12 cm and breadth 7 cm.

    • A. 72 cm²
    • B. 78 cm²
    • C. 84 cm²
    • D. 90 cm²
    Answer and solution

    Answer: C

    Area of rectangle = length × breadth = 12 × 7 = 84 cm².

  5. Q5 · Ratio and Proportion

    Two numbers are in the ratio 5:7. If their sum is 156, what is the smaller number?

    • A. 65
    • B. 70
    • C. 75
    • D. 80
    Answer and solution

    Answer: A

    Let numbers be 5x and 7x. Then 5x + 7x = 156, so 12x = 156, giving x = 13. Smaller number = 5x = 5 × 13 = 65.

  6. Q6 · BODMAS

    Find the value of: 15 + 18 ÷ 6 × 3 - 2

    • A. 20
    • B. 22
    • C. 24
    • D. 26
    Answer and solution

    Answer: B

    Using BODMAS: 18 ÷ 6 = 3, then 3 × 3 = 9, then 15 + 9 = 24, finally 24 - 2 = 22.

  7. Q7 · Mensuration

    Find the area of a circle whose radius is 14 cm. (Use π = 22/7)

    • A. 484 sq cm
    • B. 528 sq cm
    • C. 616 sq cm
    • D. 704 sq cm
    Answer and solution

    Answer: C

    Area = πr² = (22/7) × 14 × 14 = 22 × 2 × 14 = 616 sq cm.

  8. Q8 · Geometry

    The area of a circle whose circumference is 44 cm is:

    • A. 144 cm²
    • B. 154 cm²
    • C. 164 cm²
    • D. 176 cm²
    Answer and solution

    Answer: B

    Circumference = 2πr = 44, so r = 44/(2 × 22/7) = 7 cm. Area = πr² = (22/7) × 7 × 7 = 154 cm².

  9. Q9 · Simple and Compound Interest

    A sum of money at simple interest amounts to ₹6,200 in 2 years and ₹7,400 in 3 years. What is the principal?

    • A. ₹3,800
    • B. ₹4,000
    • C. ₹4,200
    • D. ₹4,400
    Answer and solution

    Answer: A

    Interest for 1 year = 7400 - 6200 = ₹1,200. Interest for 2 years = ₹2,400. Principal = 6200 - 2400 = ₹3,800.

  10. Q10 · Elementary Statistics

    The average of five consecutive odd numbers is 27. The largest of these numbers is:

    • A. 29
    • B. 31
    • C. 33
    • D. 35
    Answer and solution

    Answer: B

    For five consecutive odd numbers, the average equals the middle number. Middle number = 27. The largest is 27 + 4 = 31.
