11. Select the word-pair that best represents a similar relationship to the one expressed in the given pair of words. [S.S.C CGL 09/12/2022 (1st Shift)]

(The words must be considered as meaningful English words and must not be related to each other based on the number of letters / number of consonants / vowels in the word)

Carpenter : Hammer

Correct Answer: (a) Fisherman : Net
Solution:The logic followed here is :

Carpenter uses Hammer as his tool.

In the same way,

Fishermen use net to catch fish.

Hence, "Fisherman : Net" is the correct answer.

12. 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 09/12/2022 (2nd Shift)]

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

(21, 225, 9)

(12, 49, 2)

Correct Answer: (a) (14, 64, 2)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → {(a + c) ÷ 2}² = b

(21, 225, 9) → {(21 + 9) ÷ 2}² ⇒ (30 ÷ 2)² ⇒ 15² = 225   

(12, 49, 2) → {(12 + 2) ÷ 2}² ⇒ (14 ÷ 2)² ⇒ 7² = 49

Similarly,

(14, 64, 2) → {(14 + 2) ÷ 2}² ⇒ (16 ÷ 2)² ⇒ 8² = 64

Hence, "(14, 64, 2)" is the correct answer.

13. Select the option that is related to the third word in the same way as the second word is related to the first word. [S.S.C CGL 09/12/2022 (2nd Shift)]

(The words must be considered as meaningful English words and must not be related to each other based on the number of letters / number of consonants / vowels in the word.)

Horse : Stable :: Hen : ?

Correct Answer: (c) Coop
Solution:The logic followed here is :

Horse lives in Stable

Similarly,

Hen lives in Coop.

Hence, "Coop" is the correct answer.

14. 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 09/12/2022 (2nd Shift)]

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

(76, 75, 1)

(90, 87, 9)

Correct Answer: (b) (56, 48, 64)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → b + √c = a

(76, 75, 1) → 75 + √1 ⇒ 75 + 1 = 76

(90, 87, 9) → 87 + √9 ⇒ 87 + 3 = 90

Similarly,

(56, 48, 64) → 48 + √64 ⇒ 48 + 8 = 56

Hence, "(56, 48, 64)" is the correct answer.

15. 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 09/12/2022 (3rd Shift)]

7 : 330 :: ? : 203 :: 9 : 716

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

(a : b) → a³ - 13 = b

(7 : 330) → 7³ - 13 ⇒ 343 - 13 = 330 

(9 : 716) → 9³ - 13 ⇒ 729 - 13 = 716 

Similarly,

(6 : 203) → 6³ - 13 ⇒ 216 - 13 = 203

Hence, "6" is the correct answer.

16. Select the option that is related to the third word in the same way as the second word is related to the first word. [S.S.C CGL 09/12/2022 (3rd Shift)]

(The words must be considered as meaningful English words and must not be related to each other based on the number of letters/number of consonants/vowels in the word)

Milk : Litre :: Sugar : ?

Correct Answer: (d) Kilogram
Solution:The logic followed here is :

As Milk is measured in Litre

In the same way,

Sugar is measured in Kilogram.

Hence, "Kilogram" is the correct answer.

17. Select the word-pair that best represents a similar relationship to the one expressed in the given pair of words. [SSC CGL 09/12/2022 (3rd Shift)]

(The words must be considered as meaningful English words and must not be related to each other based on the number of letters/number of consonants/vowels in the word)

Length : Metre

Correct Answer: (a) Electric current : Ampere
Solution:The logic followed here is :

As the unit of Length is Metre

In the same way,

The unit of Electric current is Ampere.

Hence, "Electric current : Ampere" is the correct answer.

18. 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 09/12/2022 (3rd Shift)]

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

(56, 6, 34)

(102, 27, 78)

Correct Answer: (b) (76, 34, 72)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → {(c - b) × 2} = a

(56, 6, 34) → {(34 - 6) × 2} ⇒ 28 × 2 = 56

(102, 27, 78) → {(78 - 27) × 2} ⇒ 51 × 2 = 102

Similarly,

(76, 34, 72) → {(72 - 34) × 2} ⇒ 38 × 2 = 76

Hence, "(76, 34, 72)" is the correct answer.

19. Select the option that is related to the third term in the same way as the second term is related to the first term and the sixth term is related to the fifth term. [S.S.C CGL 09/12/2022 (3rd Shift)]

27 : 713 :: 32 : ? : 35 : 1209

Correct Answer: (d) 1088
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a : b) → a² − 16 = b

(27 : 713) → 27² - 16 ⇒ 729 - 16 = 713 

In (35 : 1209) → 35² - 16 ⇒ 1225 - 16 = 1209 

Similarly,

(32 : ?) → 32² - 16 ⇒ 1024 - 16 = 1008

Hence, "1088" is the correct answer.

20. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following set. [S.S.C CGL 09/12/2022 (4th Shift)]

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

(21, 33, 31)

(42, 17, 26)

Correct Answer: (a) (36, 14, 35)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

Sum of all given numbers = 85

(21, 33, 31) → 21 + 33 + 31 = 85

(42, 17, 26) → 42 + 17 + 26 = 85

Similarly,

(36, 14, 35) → 36 + 14 + 35 = 85

Hence, "(36, 14, 35)" is the correct answer.
