11. 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 02/12/2022 (1st Shift)]

10 : 45 :: 6 : 25 :: 9 : ?

Correct Answer: (d) 40
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a : b) → {(a × 5) - 5} = b

(10 : 45) → {(10 × 5) - 5} = 45

(6 : 25) → {(6 × 5) - 5} = 25

Similarly,

(9 : 40) → {(9 × 5) - 5} = 40

Hence, "40" 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 sets. [S.S.C CGL 02/12/2022 (2nd Shift)]

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

(11, 13, 143)

(17, 11, 187)

Correct Answer: (c) (3, 4, 12)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → ab = c

(11, 13, 143) → 11 × 13 = 143

(17, 11, 187) → 17 × 11 = 187

Similarly,

(3, 4, 12) → 3 × 4 = 12

Hence, "(3, 4, 12)" is the correct answer.

13. Select the word-pair which represents exactly the relation which is expressed in the given word-pair. (Words should be treated as meaningful words and should not be related to each other on the basis of number of syllables/number of consonants/number of vowels in the word.) [S.S.C CGL 02/12/2022 (2nd Shift)]

Pen : Swan :: ?

Correct Answer: (b) Sorceress : Magician
Solution:The logic followed here is :

First word is feminine gender of second word.

Here, Pens is feminine gender of Swan.

Similarly,

Sorceress is feminine gender of Magician.

Hence, "Sorceress : Magician" 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 02/12/2022 (2nd Shift)]

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

(15, 9, 4)

(7, 2, 3)

Correct Answer: (b) (19, 13, 4)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → b + c + 2 = a

(15, 9, 4) → 9 + 4 + 2 = 15

(7, 2, 3) → 2 + 3 + 2 = 7

Similarly,

(19, 13, 4) → 13 + 4 + 2 = 19

Hence, "(19, 13, 4)" is the correct answer.

15. 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 (3rd Shift)]

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

(25, 9, 56)

(13, 14, 183)

Correct Answer: (d) (27, 15, 198)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → √(a + c) = b

(25, 9, 56) → √(25 + 56) ⇒ √81 = 9

(13, 14, 183) → √(13 + 183) ⇒ √196 = 14

Similarly,

(27, 15, 198) → √(27 + 198) ⇒ √225 = 15

Hence, "(27, 15, 198)" 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. (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.) [S.S.C CGL 02/12/2022 (3rd Shift)]

Cloth : Closet :: Gun : ?

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

Cloth is kept in Closet.

Similarly,

Gun is kept in Armoury.

Hence, "Armoury" is the correct answer.

17. 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 (3rd Shift)]

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

(30, 93, 1)

(42, 132, 2)

Correct Answer: (d) (3, 30, 7)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → (a + c) × 3} = b

(30, 93, 1) → {(30 + 1) × 3} = 93

(42, 132, 2) → {(42 + 2) × 3} = 132

Similarly,

(3, 30, 7) → {(3 + 7) × 3} = 30

Hence, "(3, 30, 7)" 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 03/12/2022 (1st Shift)]

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

(452, 50, 63)

(260, 35, 30)

Correct Answer: (c) (260, 50, 15)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → {(b × 4) + (c × 4)} = a

(452, 50, 63) → {(50 × 4) + (63 × 4)} ⇒ 200 + 252 = 452

(260, 35, 30) → {(35 × 4) + (30 × 4)} ⇒ 140 + 120 = 260

Similarly,

(260, 50, 15) → {(50 × 4) + (15 × 4)} ⇒ 200 + 60 = 260

Hence, "(260, 50, 15)" is the correct answer.

19. 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 03/12/2022 (1st Shift)]

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

(12, 42, 7)

(13, 52, 8)

Correct Answer: (d) (9, 18, 4)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → {a × (c ÷ 2)}​ = b

(12, 42, 7) → {12 × (7 ÷ 2)} ⇒ 12 × 3.5 = 42

(13, 52, 8) → {13 × (8 ÷ 2)} ⇒ 13 × 4 = 52

​​Similarly,

(9, 18, 4) → {9 × (4 ÷ 2)} ⇒ 9 × 2 = 18

Hence, "(9, 18, 4)" is the correct answer.

20. 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 03/12/2022 (1st Shift)]
