Sample General Intelligence & Reasoning questions with solutions

Written to the TNUSRB Common Recruitment 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.

Situational judgment · solved example

You notice a fellow recruit spreading false rumours about a senior officer during training. The most appropriate first step is to:

  • Join in to fit in with the group
  • Ignore it completely because it is not your problem
  • Calmly advise the recruit to stop and report the matter to the training instructor if it continuesCorrect
  • Confront the senior officer immediately with the rumour

Solution

Uniformed service requires integrity and chain-of-command discipline. Advising the recruit to stop and escalating to the instructor if needed balances correction with proper reporting. Spreading rumours or ignoring misconduct undermines team trust.

Emotional stability · solved example

During a crowded festival duty, a citizen speaks rudely to you although you are following standard procedure. You should:

  • Shout back to assert authority
  • Remain calm, listen briefly and explain the procedure politelyCorrect
  • Walk away and leave the spot unattended
  • Use force immediately to end the argument

Solution

Public-facing uniformed roles demand emotional control. Calm explanation de-escalates tension while maintaining duty. Aggression, abandonment of post or premature force are inappropriate responses.

Ethical conduct · solved example

A shopkeeper offers you free refreshments during a routine check. The best response is to:

  • Accept gladly to maintain good relations
  • Politely decline and continue the duty impartiallyCorrect
  • Accept but promise favours in return
  • Demand more gifts to test the shopkeeper

Solution

Accepting gifts during official duty can compromise impartiality and violates service ethics. A polite refusal while performing duty fairly is the correct professional response.

Teamwork · solved example

Your team must move a heavy barrier during an emergency drill. You are fit but one teammate is struggling. You should:

  • Criticise the teammate for being weak
  • Leave the teammate and finish alone
  • Coordinate with others to share the load and complete the task togetherCorrect
  • Stop the drill and complain to superiors

Solution

Emergency and drill scenarios test cooperative problem-solving. Redistributing the load and working as a unit reflects the teamwork expected in police, prison and fire service operations.
