RRB Group D 2023 PYQ-pattern questions

Showing 10 of the 18 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 · Decimals and Fractions

    What is the value of (0.75 × 0.75 + 0.25 × 0.25 + 2 × 0.75 × 0.25)?

    • A. 0.5
    • B. 1.0
    • C. 1.5
    • D. 2.0
    Answer and solution

    Answer: B

    The expression represents (a + b)² where a = 0.75 and b = 0.25. Therefore, (0.75 + 0.25)² = 1² = 1.0.

  2. Q2 · Time and Work

    A can complete a work in 12 days and B can complete the same work in 18 days. If they work together, in how many days will they complete the work?

    • A. 6 days
    • B. 7.2 days
    • C. 8 days
    • D. 9 days
    Answer and solution

    Answer: B

    A's 1 day work = 1/12, B's 1 day work = 1/18. Combined work per day = 1/12 + 1/18 = 5/36. Total days = 36/5 = 7.2 days.

  3. Q3 · Ratio and Proportion

    The ratio of ages of A and B is 5:7. After 6 years, the ratio will become 3:4. What is the present age of B?

    • A. 28 years
    • B. 35 years
    • C. 42 years
    • D. 49 years
    Answer and solution

    Answer: C

    Let present ages be 5x and 7x. After 6 years: (5x+6)/(7x+6) = 3/4. Solving: 20x + 24 = 21x + 18, x = 6. B's age = 7 × 6 = 42 years.

  4. Q4 · Geometry

    The perimeter of a square is 48 cm. What is its area?

    • A. 121 cm²
    • B. 144 cm²
    • C. 169 cm²
    • D. 196 cm²
    Answer and solution

    Answer: B

    Side = Perimeter ÷ 4 = 48 ÷ 4 = 12 cm. Area = side² = 12² = 144 cm².

  5. Q5 · Trigonometry

    If sin θ = 3/5, then what is the value of cos θ? (Assume θ is acute)

    • A. 3/5
    • B. 4/5
    • C. 5/3
    • D. 5/4
    Answer and solution

    Answer: B

    Using sin²θ + cos²θ = 1, we get (3/5)² + cos²θ = 1, so cos²θ = 16/25, hence cos θ = 4/5.

  6. Q6 · Profit and Loss

    A shopkeeper buys an article for ₹800 and sells it for ₹920. Find the profit percentage.

    • A. 12%
    • B. 13%
    • C. 15%
    • D. 18%
    Answer and solution

    Answer: C

    Profit = 920 - 800 = ₹120. Profit% = (120/800) × 100 = 15%.

  7. Q7 · Time and Work

    A can complete a work in 12 days and B can complete the same work in 18 days. If they work together for 4 days, what fraction of work is remaining?

    • A. 1/3
    • B. 2/9
    • C. 4/9
    • D. 5/9
    Answer and solution

    Answer: C

    A's rate 1/12, B's rate 1/18, combined 5/36 per day. Over 4 days work done = 20/36 = 5/9. Remaining = 1 - 5/9 = 4/9.

  8. Q8 · Ratio and Proportion

    Divide Rs. 780 among A, B, and C in the ratio 2:3:5. What is the share of B?

    • A. Rs. 156
    • B. Rs. 234
    • C. Rs. 312
    • D. Rs. 390
    Answer and solution

    Answer: B

    Total ratio parts = 2 + 3 + 5 = 10. B's share = (3/10) × 780 = Rs. 234.

  9. Q9 · Profit and Loss

    A shopkeeper sold an article at ₹945 after allowing a discount of 10% on the marked price. If he still made a profit of 5%, what was his cost price?

    • A. ₹850
    • B. ₹880
    • C. ₹900
    • D. ₹920
    Answer and solution

    Answer: C

    Selling price = ₹945 = 105% of CP. Therefore CP = (945 × 100)/105 = ₹900.

  10. Q10 · Square Root

    The square root of (0.0625 × 0.0016) is:

    • A. 0.001
    • B. 0.01
    • C. 0.1
    • D. 1
    Answer and solution

    Answer: B

    0.0625 = (0.25)² and 0.0016 = (0.04)². Therefore √(0.0625 × 0.0016) = 0.25 × 0.04 = 0.01.
