Railways | RRB ALP
RRB ALP sets 50 General Intelligence & Reasoning questions for 50 marks across 2 stages, so it is worth planning your preparation around the topics below.
The non-verbal and analytical reasoning that SSC and railway papers lean on: series, analogy, classification, coding and the figure-based questions. It rewards pattern recognition built through volume, so the return on drilling a lot of questions is unusually high here.
How much General Intelligence & Reasoning is worth in each RRB ALP stage, from the official pattern.
| Stage | Questions | Marks | Time | Share |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Computer Based Test 1 | 25 | 25 | — | 33% |
| Computer Based Test 2 Part A | 25 | 25 | — | 25% |
Every topic in the official syllabus. The linked ones open a set of solved questions you can practise straight away.
Written to the RRB ALP pattern, with the answer key and the method behind it — a look at how the section is actually set before you drill the full topic sets.
Inequality · solved example
Statements: B ≤ F > A < D = C Conclusions: I. A ≥ C II. F ≥ D Which conclusion(s) definitely follow?
Solution
Reading the chain, conclusion I is not necessarily true and conclusion II is not necessarily true. Hence: neither i nor ii follows.
Ranking · solved example
In a row, a person is 10th from the left end and 13th from the right end. How many people are in the row?
Solution
Total = position from left + position from right − 1 = 10 + 13 − 1 = 22.
Mathematical operations · solved example
If '@' means +, '&' means − and '¤' means ×, then find the value of: 4 ¤ 6 @ 4.
Solution
Substituting the symbols: 4 × 6 + 4 = 24 + 4 = 28.
Coding and decoding · solved example
In a certain code FLOWER is written as EKNVDQ. How is GARDEN written in that code?
Solution
Each letter moves one step back: F→E, L→K and so on. Applying the same to GARDEN gives G→F, A→Z, R→Q, D→C, E→D, N→M, that is FZQCDM.
