RRB NTPC 2022 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 · Time, Distance and Speed

    A train travels at a speed of 72 km/hr. How many meters does it travel in 25 seconds?

    • A. 400 m
    • B. 500 m
    • C. 600 m
    • D. 720 m
    Answer and solution

    Answer: B

    Speed = 72 km/hr = 72 × 5/18 = 20 m/s. Distance = Speed × Time = 20 × 25 = 500 meters.

  2. Q2 · Geometry and Trigonometry

    In a right-angled triangle, if one acute angle is 35°, what is the measure of the other acute angle?

    • A. 45°
    • B. 50°
    • C. 55°
    • D. 65°
    Answer and solution

    Answer: C

    In a right-angled triangle, the sum of two acute angles is 90°. Therefore, the other angle = 90° - 35° = 55°.

  3. Q3 · Coding and Decoding

    In a certain code language, if 'TRAIN' is written as 'USBJO', how is 'TRACK' written in that code?

    • A. USBDL
    • B. USBCK
    • C. TSBDL
    • D. UQBDL
    Answer and solution

    Answer: A

    Each letter is replaced by the next letter in the alphabet (T→U, R→S, A→B, I→J, N→O). Similarly, TRACK becomes USBDL (T→U, R→S, A→B, C→D, K→L).

  4. Q4 · Ratio and Proportion

    If A:B = 3:4 and B:C = 5:6, then what is A:B:C?

    • A. 15:20:24
    • B. 3:4:6
    • C. 15:24:20
    • D. 9:12:18
    Answer and solution

    Answer: A

    To find A:B:C, make B equal in both ratios. A:B = 15:20 (multiply by 5) and B:C = 20:24 (multiply by 4), giving A:B:C = 15:20:24.

  5. Q5 · Number System

    What is the unit digit of 3^87?

    • A. 1
    • B. 3
    • C. 7
    • D. 9
    Answer and solution

    Answer: C

    Powers of 3 have cyclicity of 4 (3,9,7,1). 87 = 4×21 + 3, so the unit digit is same as 3³ which is 7.

  6. Q6 · Time and Work

    X and Y together can complete a task in 12 days. X alone can do it in 20 days. After working together for 8 days, X leaves. In how many more days will Y complete the remaining work?

    • A. 10 days
    • B. 12 days
    • C. 15 days
    • D. 18 days
    Answer and solution

    Answer: A

    Y's rate = 1/12 - 1/20 = 1/30 (30 days alone). In 8 days together they do 8/12 = 2/3; remaining = 1/3. Y needs (1/3)/(1/30) = 10 days.

  7. Q7 · Elementary Algebra

    If 3x + 7 = 22, then what is the value of x?

    • A. 3
    • B. 4
    • C. 5
    • D. 6
    Answer and solution

    Answer: C

    3x + 7 = 22 → 3x = 22 - 7 = 15 → x = 15/3 = 5.

  8. Q8 · Coding and Decoding

    In a certain code language, 'TRAIN' is written as 'USBJO'. How will 'GOODS' be written in that code?

    • A. HPPET
    • B. HPEET
    • C. GPEET
    • D. HPPDT
    Answer and solution

    Answer: A

    Each letter is shifted one position forward in the alphabet. G→H, O→P, O→P, D→E, S→T = HPPET.

  9. Q9 · Geometry and Trigonometry

    In a right-angled triangle, if one acute angle is 35°, what is the measure of the other acute angle?

    • A. 45°
    • B. 50°
    • C. 55°
    • D. 65°
    Answer and solution

    Answer: C

    In a right triangle, sum of two acute angles = 90°. So the other angle = 90° - 35° = 55°.

  10. Q10 · Ratio and Proportion

    The ratio of the ages of A and B is 5:7. If B is 12 years older than A, what is the present age of A?

    • A. 30 years
    • B. 25 years
    • C. 28 years
    • D. 35 years
    Answer and solution

    Answer: A

    Let A's age = 5x and B's age = 7x. Given 7x - 5x = 12, so 2x = 12, x = 6. Therefore, A's age = 5 × 6 = 30 years.
