1. Select the option that is related to the third number in the same way as the second number is related to the first number. [S.S.C CGL 13/08/2021 (Morning)]

12 : 60 :: 16 : ?

Correct Answer: (d) 112
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a : b) → {a × (a ÷ 2 - 1)} = b

(12 : 60) → 12 × (12 ÷ 2 - 1)} ⇒ 12 × 5 = 60

Similarly,

(16 : ?) → 16 × (16 ÷ 2 - 1)} ⇒ 16 × 7 = 112

Hence, "112" is the correct answer.

4. Select the option in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following set. [S.S.C CGL 13/08/2021 (Morning)]

(25, 18, 225)

Correct Answer: (c) (24, 22, 264)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → {(a × b) ÷ 2} = c

(25, 18, 225) → {(25 × 18) ÷ 2} ⇒ 450 ÷ 2 = 225 

Similarly,

(24, 22, 264) → {(24 × 22) ÷ 2} ⇒ 528 ÷ 2 = 264 

Hence, "(24,22,264)" is the correct answer.

5. Select the option that is related to the third word in the same way as the second word is related to the first word.

Awful : Nice :: Nomadic : ?

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

As, Awful and Nice are antonyms of each other

In the same way,

Nomadic is antonyms to Settled.

6. Select the option in which the numbers are NOT related in the same way as are the numbers of the following set. [S.S.C CGL 17/08/2021 (Morning)]

(7, 21, 49)

Correct Answer: (d) (9, 27, 72)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a : b) → 3 × a = b & a² = c

(7, 21, 49) → 3 × 7 = 21 & 7² = 49

Similarly, All the options follows the pattern except option "d"

(9, 27, 72) → 3 × 9 = 27 & 9² = 81 ≠ 72

Hence, "(9, 27, 72)" is the correct answer.

7. Select the options in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following set. [S.S.C CGL 17/08/2021 (Morning)]

(541, 14, 737)

Correct Answer: (b) (697, 13, 866)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → (a + b²) = c 

(541, 14, 737) → 541 + 14² ⇒ 541 + 196 = 737

Similarly,

(697, 13, 866) → 697 + 13² ⇒ 697 + 169 = 866

Hence, "(697, 13, 866)" is the correct answer.

8. Select the option that is related to the fourth number in the same way as the first number is related to the second number and the fifth number is related to the sixth number. [S.S.C CGL 17/08/2021 (Morning)]

1008 : 8 :: ? : 6 :: 220 : 4

Correct Answer: (b) 518
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a : b) → {(b + 2)³ + b} = a

(1008 : 8) → {(8 + 2)³ + 8} ⇒ 1000 + 8 = 1008

Similarly,

(? : 6) → {(6 + 2)³ + 6} ⇒ 512 + 6 = 518

Hence, "

9. Select the option in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following set. [S.S.C CGL 17/08/2021 (Evening)]

(4, 8, 16)

Correct Answer: (a) (20, 24, 16)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → (a - )

(4, 8, 16) → (4 - 8)² = 16

Similarly,

(20, 24, 16) → (20 - 24)² = 16

Hence, "(20, 24, 16)" is the correct answer.

10. Select the option in which the numbers are NOT related in the same way as are the numbers of the following set. [S.S.C CGL 17/08/2021 (Evening)]

(7, 51, 22)

Correct Answer: (c) (6, 38, 22)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → a²+ 2 = b & a + 15 = c

(7, 51, 22) → 7² + 2 ⇒ 49 + 2 = 51 & 7 + 15 = 22

But,

(6, 38, 22) → 6² + 2 ⇒ 36 + 2 = 38 & 6 + 15 = 21 ≠ 22 Not follow

Hence, "(6, 38, 22)" is the correct answer.
