RRB NTPC Graduate CBT 1 24 Jun 2025 Shift 3 – Question Paper

Concept: Vedic texts were preserved by Prakriti and Vikriti pathas (recitation styles).

1. Vikriti pathas include Jata, Mala, Shikha, Rekha, Dhvaja, Danda, Ratha and Ghana.
2. Ghanapatha repeats word groups in a complex forward-backward pattern (e.g. ab-ba-abc-cba-abc), making it the most elaborate style.
3. Jatapatha and Shikhapatha are simpler steps that lead to Ghana.

Yaad rakhein: A scholar who masters it is called “Ghanapathi” — the highest title in Vedic chanting.

Answer: (D) Ghanapatha

Concept: Use ${\sin }^2\beta +{\cos }^2\beta =1$.

1. $\frac{m}{a}={\cos }^3\beta \Rightarrow {\left(\frac{m}{a}\right)}^{\frac{2}{3}}={\cos }^2\beta$
2. $\frac{n}{b}={\sin }^3\beta \Rightarrow {\left(\frac{n}{b}\right)}^{\frac{2}{3}}={\sin }^2\beta$
3. Sum $={\cos }^2\beta +{\sin }^2\beta =1$

Trick: Power $\frac{2}{3}$ turns cube into square: $(x^3{)}^{\frac{2}{3}}=x^2$.

Answer: (C) 1

Concept: Each part of the cluster follows its own pattern.

1. First letters: D, E, F, G, H (+1).
2. Second letters: J, K, L, M, N (+1).
3. Numbers: 26, 37, 48, 59, 70 ($+11$).

Trick: Split cluster into 3 columns and solve each separately.

Answer: (B) HN70
