RRB NTPC Undergraduate CBT 1 8 May 2026 Shift 3 – Question Paper

Concept: The 1991 reforms (LPG – Liberalisation, Privatisation, Globalisation) opened the Indian economy to foreign capital.

1. India faced a severe balance-of-payments crisis in 1991; foreign exchange reserves were enough for barely two weeks of imports.
2. To bring in foreign capital and technology, the government offered tax incentives and concessions to foreign investors and raised FDI limits.
3. Options A, B and D go against the very aim of liberalisation.

Yaad rakhein: 1991 reforms = LPG; tax holidays for foreign investors were part of "Globalisation".

Answer: (C) To attract foreign investment

Concept: Apply BODMAS – brackets first, then "of", then $÷$, $\times$, $+$, $-$.

1. $\frac{16}{36}÷\frac{16}{4}=\frac{4}{9}\times \frac{4}{16}=\frac{1}{9}$
2. $\frac{2}{7}\times \frac{14}{6}+\frac{5}{12}=\frac{2}{3}+\frac{5}{12}=\frac{13}{12}$, so first part $=\frac{1}{9}÷\frac{13}{12}=\frac{1}{9}\times \frac{12}{13}=\frac{4}{39}$
3. $\frac{39}{12}\text{ of }\frac{12}{7}=\frac{39}{7}$, so $\frac{4}{7}÷\frac{39}{7}=\frac{4}{7}\times \frac{7}{39}=\frac{4}{39}$
4. Total $=\frac{4}{39}+\frac{4}{39}=\frac{8}{39}$

Trick: "of" is done before $÷$. Cancel common factors early – both parts come out as $\frac{4}{39}$, so the answer is simply double.

Answer: (B) $\frac{8}{39}$

Concept: Draw the Venn diagram for two "All" statements – the sets nest inside each other.

1. All Chickens are Quails and all Quails are Pigeons → Chickens ⊂ Quails ⊂ Pigeons, so all Chickens are Pigeons.
2. Conclusion (I) "No Pigeons are Chickens" is the opposite of this – false.
3. Conclusion (II) "Some Pigeons are Chickens" is the converse of "All Chickens are Pigeons" – it follows.

Trick: All A are B ⇒ Some B are A (always true); "No" can never follow from two "All" statements.

Answer: (C) Only conclusion (II) follows
