RRB NTPC 2024 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 · LCM and HCF

    The HCF of two numbers is 15 and their LCM is 300. If one of the numbers is 60, what is the other number?

    • A. 60
    • B. 75
    • C. 90
    • D. 100
    Answer and solution

    Answer: B

    Using the formula: Product of two numbers = HCF × LCM. So 60 × other number = 15 × 300 = 4500. Therefore, other number = 4500 ÷ 60 = 75.

  2. Q2 · Ratio and Proportion

    The ratio of the ages of A and B is 5:7. After 6 years, their ages will be in the ratio 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 ages be 5x and 7x. After 6 years: (5x + 6)/(7x + 6) = 3/4. Cross-multiplying: 20x + 24 = 21x + 18, so x = 6. B's present age = 7 × 6 = 42 years.

  3. Q3 · Mensuration

    The area of a square is 2304 sq. cm. What is the length of its diagonal?

    • A. 48√2 cm
    • B. 52 cm
    • C. 64 cm
    • D. 72 cm
    Answer and solution

    Answer: A

    Side of square = √2304 = 48 cm. Diagonal = side × √2 = 48√2 cm.

  4. Q4 · Analogies

    Select the option that is related to the third term in the same way as the second term is related to the first term: BOOK : READ :: MUSIC : ?

    • A. WRITE
    • B. LISTEN
    • C. SING
    • D. PLAY
    Answer and solution

    Answer: B

    Just as a BOOK is READ, MUSIC is LISTENED to. Both represent the action performed with the respective medium.

  5. Q5 · Decimals and Fractions

    What is the value of (0.8 × 0.8 + 0.6 × 0.6 + 2 × 0.8 × 0.6)?

    • A. 1.96
    • B. 1.00
    • C. 2.00
    • D. 1.44
    Answer and solution

    Answer: A

    Using (a + b)² = a² + b² + 2ab, this becomes (0.8 + 0.6)² = (1.4)² = 1.96.

  6. Q6 · Time and Work

    A can complete a work in 15 days and B can complete the same work in 20 days. If they work together, in how many days will they complete the work?

    • A. 8.57 days
    • B. 10 days
    • C. 12 days
    • D. 17.5 days
    Answer and solution

    Answer: A

    Combined work per day = 1/15 + 1/20 = 7/60. Total days = 60/7 ≈ 8.57 days.

  7. Q7 · Percentage

    If 40% of a number is 120, then what is 75% of that number?

    • A. 200
    • B. 225
    • C. 240
    • D. 250
    Answer and solution

    Answer: B

    The number = 120 × 100/40 = 300. Therefore, 75% of 300 = 225.

  8. Q8 · Profit and Loss

    A shopkeeper marks an article 25% above the cost price and allows a discount of 10%. If the cost price is ₹400, what is his profit percentage?

    • A. 12.5%
    • B. 15%
    • C. 10%
    • D. 18%
    Answer and solution

    Answer: A

    Marked Price = 400 × 1.25 = ₹500. Selling Price = 500 × 0.90 = ₹450. Profit = 450 - 400 = ₹50. Profit % = (50/400) × 100 = 12.5%.

  9. Q9 · Analogies

    Choose the correct pair that completes the analogy: Doctor : Hospital :: Teacher : ?

    • A. Book
    • B. School
    • C. Student
    • D. Classroom
    Answer and solution

    Answer: B

    A doctor works in a hospital, similarly a teacher works in a school.

  10. Q10 · Elementary 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

    (x + 1/x)² = x² + 1/x² + 2. So 25 = x² + 1/x² + 2. Therefore x² + 1/x² = 23.
