1. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets. [S.S.C CGL 24/07/2023 (4th Shift)]

(NOTE : Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits.)

(28, 65, 261)

(37, 83, 342)

Correct Answer: (b) (46, 92, 414)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

{(3rd number - 2nd number) ÷ 7} = 1st number

(28, 65, 261) → {(261 - 65) ÷ 7} ⇒ 196 ÷ 7 = 28

(37, 83, 342) → {(342 - 83) ÷ 7} ⇒ 259 ÷ 7 = 37

Similarly,

(46, 92, 414) → {(414 - 92) ÷ 7} ⇒ 322 ÷ 7 = 46

2. Select the option that is related to the fifth letter-cluster in the same way as the second letter-cluster is related to the first letter-cluster and the fourth letter -cluster is related to the third letter -cluster. [S.S.C CGL 24/07/2023 (4th shift)]

ORANGE : FIQEWU :: MANGO : PIQER :: APPLE : ?

Correct Answer: (b) FNSTF
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

Hence, "FNSTF" is the correct answer.

3. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following set. [S.S.C CGL 25/07/2023 (1st shift)]

(NOTE : Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent  digits.)

(7, 150, 23)

(11, 75, 4)

Correct Answer: (d) (15, 140, 13)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

{(1st number + 3rd number) × 5} = 2nd number

(7, 150, 23) → {(7 + 23) × 5} ⇒ 30 × 5 = 150

(11, 75, 4) → {(11 + 4) × 5} ⇒ 15 × 5 = 75

Similarly,

(15, 140, 13) → {(15 + 13) × 5} ⇒ 28 × 5 = 140

Hence, "(15, 140, 13)" is the correct answer.

4. The second number in the given number-pairs is obtained by performing certain mathematical operation(s) on the first number. The same operation(s) is/are followed in all the number-pairs except one. Find that odd number-pair. [S.S.C CGL 25/07/2023 (1st shift)]

Correct Answer: (c) 350 : 15
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

{(2nd number)² × 2} = 1st number

(128 : 8) → (8)² × 2 ⇒ 64 × 2 = 128

(288 : 12) → (12)² × 2 ⇒ 144 × 2 = 288

(18 : 3) → (3)² × 2 ⇒ 9 × 2 = 18

But,

(350 : 15) → (15)² × 2 = 225 × 2 = 450 ≠ 350

Hence, "(350 : 15)" is the correct answer.

5. Select the option that is related to the fourth term in the same way as the first term is related to the second term and the fifth term is related to the sixth term. [S.S.C CGL 25/07/2023 (2nd shift)]

169 : 14 :: ? : 16 :: 289 : 18

Correct Answer: (c) 225
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(2nd number - 1)² = 1st number

(169 : 14) → (14 - 1)² ⇒ (13)² = 169

(289 : 18) → (18 - 1)² ⇒ (17)² = 289

Similarly,

(? : 16) → (16 - 1)² ⇒ (15)² = 225

Hence, "225" is the correct answer.

6. The second number in the given number-pairs is obtained by performing certain mathematical operation(s) on the first number. The same operation(s) is/are followed in all the number-pairs except one. Find that odd number-pair. [S.S.C CGL 25/07/2023 (2nd shift)]

Correct Answer: (d) 8 : 29
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

{(1st number × 3) + 3} = 2nd number

(2 : 9) → {(2 × 3) + 3} ⇒ 6 + 3 = 9

(6 : 21) → {(6 × 3) + 3} ⇒ 18 + 3 = 21

(10 : 33) → {(10 × 3) + 3} ⇒ 30 + 3 = 33

But,

(8 : 29) → {(8 × 3) + 3} ⇒ 24 + 3 = 27 ≠ 29

Hence, "(8 : 29)" is the correct answer.

7. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets. [S.S.C CGL 25/07/2023 (2nd shift)]

(NOTE : Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent
digits.)

(2, 7, 27)

(6, 15, 63)

Correct Answer: (d) (8, 8, 48)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number + 2nd number) × 3 = 3rd number

(2, 7, 27) → {(2 + 7) × 3} ⇒ 9 × 3 = 27

(6, 15, 63) → {(6 + 15) × 3} ⇒ 21 × 3 = 63

Similarly,

(8, 8, 48) → {(8 + 8) × 3} ⇒ 16 × 3 = 48

Hence, "(8, 8, 48)" is the correct answer.

8. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the number of the given set. [S.S.C CGL 25/07/2023 (3rd shift)]

(NOTE : Operations should be performed on whole numbers, without breaking down the number into its constituent digits.)

(25, 150, 3)

(18, 180, 5)

Correct Answer: (c) (52, 728, 7)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number × 3rd number) × 2 = 2nd number

(25, 150, 3) → {(25 × 3) × 2} ⇒ 75 × 2 = 150

(18, 180, 5) → {(18 × 5) × 2} ⇒ 90 × 2 = 180

Similarly,

(52, 728, 7) → {(52 × 7) × 2} = 364 × 2 = 728

Hence, "(52, 728, 7)" is the correct answer.

9. Select the option that is related to the fifth number in the same way as the second number is related to the first number and the fourth number is related to the third number. [S.S.C CGL 25/07/2023 (3rd shift)]

7 : 35 :: 21 : 399 :: 4 : ?

Correct Answer: (c) 8
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number)² - (1st number × 2) = 2nd number

(7 : 35) → {7² - (7 × 2)} ⇒ 49 - 14 = 35

(21 : 399) → {21² - (21 × 2)} ⇒ 441 - 42 = 399

Similarly,

(4 : ?) → {4² - (4 × 2)} ⇒ 16 - 8 = 8

Hence, "8" is the correct answer.

10. Select the option that is related to the fifth number in the same way as the second number is related to the first number and the fourth number is related to the third number. [S.S.C CGL 25/07/2023 (3rd shift)]

7 : 47 :: 11 : 119 :: 3 : ?

Correct Answer: (d) 7
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

{(1st number)² - 2} = 2nd number

(7 : 47) → 7² - 2 ⇒ 49 - 2 = 47

(11 : 119) → 11² - 2 ⇒ 121 - 2 = 119

Similarly,

(3 : 7) → 3² - 2 ⇒ 9 - 2 = 7

Hence, "(3 : 7)" is the correct answer.
