12. 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 (Evening)]

396 : 24 :: ? : 28 :: 672 : 30

Correct Answer: (b) 572
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a : b) → [{b × (b - 8)} + 12] = a

(396 : 24) → [{24 × (24 - 8)} + 12] ⇒ 24 × 16 + 12 = 396

(672 : 30) → [{30 × (30 - 8)} + 12] ⇒ 30 × 22 + 12 = 672

Similarly,

(? : 572) → [{28 × (28 - 8)} + 12] ⇒ 28 × 20 + 12 = 572

Hence, "28" is the correct answer.

13. 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 18/08/2021 (Morning)]

39 : 27 :: 43 : ?

Correct Answer: (c) 12
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a : b) → b is equal to the product of the digits of the a

(39 : 27) → 3 × 9 = 27

Similarly,

(43 : ?) → 4 × 3 = 12

Hence, "12" is the correct answer.

16. 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 18/08/2021 (Morning)]

(7, 9, 252)

Correct Answer: (c) (8, 11, 352)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → 4ab = c

(7, 9, 252) → 4 × 7 × 9 = 252

Similarly,

(8, 11, 352) → 4 × 8 × 11 = 352

Hence, "(8, 11, 352)" is the correct answer.

17. 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 23/08/2021 (Evening)]

(44, 24, 132)

Correct Answer: (d) (56, 26, 182)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → {(a ÷ 4) × (b ÷ 2)} = c

(44, 24, 132) → {(44 ÷ 4) × (24 ÷ 2)} ⇒ 11 × 12 = 132

Similarly,

(56, 26, 182) → {(56 ÷ 4) × (26 ÷ 2)} ⇒ 14 × 13 = 182.

Hence, "(56, 26, 182)" is the correct answer.

18. 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 24/08/2021 (Morning)]

(12, 14, 143)

Correct Answer: (a) (15, 19, 252)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → {(a - 1) × (b - 1)} = c

(12, 14, 143) → {(12 - 1) × (14 - 1)} ⇒ 11 × 13 = 143

Similarly,

(15, 19, 252) → {(15 - 1) × (19 - 1)} ⇒ 14 × 18 = 252

Hence, "(15, 19, 252)" is the correct answer.

19. 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 24/08/2021 (Morning)]

(64, 91, 118)

Correct Answer: (a) (46, 73, 101)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → a + 27 = b & a + 54 = c

(64, 91, 118) → 64 + 27 = 91 & 64 + 54 = 118

But,

(46, 73, 101) → 46 + 27 = 73 & 46 + 54 = 100 ≠ 101

Hence, "(46, 73, 101)" is the correct answer.

20. Select the option in which the numbers are related in the [S.S.C CGL 24/08/2021 (Afternoon)]

(59, 118, 295)

Correct Answer: (c) (17, 34, 85)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) →  3a + b = c

(59, 118, 295) →  {(3 × 59) + 118} ⇒ 177 + 118 = 295

Similarly,

(17, 34, 85) →  {(3 × 17) + 34} ⇒ 51 + 34 = 85

Hence, "(17, 34, 85)" is the correct answer.
