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 01/12/2022 (1st Shift)]

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

(20, 6, 4)

(24, 7, 5)

Correct Answer: (a) (65, 9, 4)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → b² - c² = a

(20, 6, 4) → 6² - 4² ⇒ 36 - 16 = 20

(24, 7, 5) → 7² - 5² ⇒ 49 - 25 = 24

Similarly,

(65, 9, 4) → 9² - 4² ⇒ 81 - 16 = 65

Hence, "65, 9, 4)" is the correct answer.

2. 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 01/12/2022 (2nd Shift)]

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

(240, 55, 65)

(320, 85, 75)

Correct Answer: (c) (160, 35, 45)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → 2(b + c) = a

(240, 55, 65) → 2 × (55 + 65) ⇒ 2 × 120 = 240

(320, 85, 75) → 2 × (85 + 75) ⇒ 2 × 160 = 320

Similarly,

(160, 35, 45) → 2 × (35 + 45) ⇒ 2 ×80 = 160

Hence, "(160, 35, 45)" is the correct answer.

3. 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 01/12/2022 (2nd Shift)]

GAVE : AGEV :: KEPT : EKTP :: ACID : ?

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

Hence, "CADI" is the correct answer.

4. 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 01/12/2022 (2nd Shift)]

JUMPED : LWORGF :: QUICKS : SWKEMU :: FUZING ?

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

Hence, "HWBKPI" 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 01/12/2022 (2nd Shift)]

35 : 21 :: ? : 36 :: 40 : 24

Correct Answer: (c) 60
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a : b) = (5 : 3)

(35 : 21) → (35 ÷ 7) : (21 ÷ 7) = 5 : 3

(40 : 24) → (40 ÷ 8) : (24 ÷ 8) = 5 : 3

Similarly,

(60 : 36) → (60 ÷ 12) : (36 ÷ 12) = 5 : 3

Hence, "60" is the correct answer.

6. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the given set. [S.S.C CGL 01/12/2022 (3rd Shift)]

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

(9, 81, 729)

(14, 196, 2744)

Correct Answer: (b) (17, 289, 4913)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → (a : a² : a³)

(9, 81, 729) → (9, 9², 9³)

(14, 196, 2744) → (14, 14², 14³)

Similarly,

(17, 289, 4913) → (17, 17², 17³)

Hence, "(17, 289, 4913)" 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 set. [S.S.C CGL 01/12/2022 (3rd Shift)]

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

(23, 14, 9)

(37, 19, 18)

Correct Answer: (c) (125, 25, 100)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → b + c = a

(23, 14, 9) → 14 + 9 = 23

(37, 19, 18) → 19 + 18 = 37

Similarly,

(125, 25, 100) → 25 + 100 = 125

8. 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 02/12/2022 (1st Shift)]

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

(4, 13, 5)

(3, 12, 6)

Correct Answer: (d) (5, 17, 9)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → {(2 × a) + c} = b

(4, 13, 5) → {(2 × 4) + 5} = 13

(3, 12, 6) → {(2 × 3) + 6} = 12

Similarly,

(5, 17, 7) → {(2 × 5) + 7} = 17

Hence, "(5, 17, 7)" is the correct answer.

9. 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 02/12/2022 (1st Shift)]

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

(4, 25, 6)

(8, 25, 3)

Correct Answer: (b) (7, 22, 3)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → {(a × c) + 1} = b

(4, 25, 6) → {(4 × 6) + 1} = 25

(8, 25, 3) → {(8 × 3) +1} = 25

Similarly,

(7, 22, 3) → {(7 × 3) + 1} = 22

Hence, "(7, 22, 3)" is the correct answer.

10. Select the option that is related to the third word in the same way as the second word is related to the first word. (The words should be treated as meaningful English/Hindi words and should not be associated with each other on the basis of number of syllables/number of consonants/number of vowels in the word.)

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

As Panda eat Bamboo

Similarly,

Koala eat Eucalyptus.

Hence, "Eucalyptus" is the correct answer.
