21. 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 03/12/2022 (2nd Shift)]

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

(26, 120, 34)

(14, 110, 41)

Correct Answer: (a) (36, 106, 17)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → {(a + c) × 2} = b

(26, 120, 34) → {(26 + 34) × 2} ⇒ 60 × 2 = 120

(14, 110, 41) → {(14 + 41) × 2} ⇒ 55 × 2 = 110

Similarly,

(36, 106, 17) → {(36 + 17) × 2} ⇒ 53 × 2 = 106

Hence, "(36, 106, 17)" is the correct answer.

22. Select the option that is related to the third number in the same way as the second number is related to the first number and the sixth number is related to the fifth number. [S.S.C CGL 03/12/2022 (2nd Shift)]

30 : 48 :: 60 : ? :: 45 : 72

Correct Answer: (a) 96
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a : b) → Their simplest form must be 5 : 8

(30 : 48) → (30 ÷ 6) : (48 ÷ 6) = 5 : 8

(60 : 96) → (60 ÷ 12) : (96 ÷ 12) = 5 : 8

Similarly,

(45 : 72) → (45 ÷ 9) : (72 ÷ 9) = 5 : 8

Hence, "(45 : 72)" is the correct answer.

23. Select the word-pair that best represents a similar relationship to the one expressed in the given pair of words. [S.S.C CGL 03/12/2022 (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.)

Acquired : Obtained :: ?

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

As Acquired is the synonym of Obtained

In the same way,

Miniature is the synonym of Tiny.

Hence, "Miniature : Tiny" is the correct answer.

24. 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 (2nd Shift)]

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

(8, 12, 6)

(9, 18, 8)

Correct Answer: (b) (12, 24, 8)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → {(a × c) ÷ 4} = b

(8, 12, 6) → {(8 × 6) ÷ 4} ⇒ 48 ÷ 4 = 12

(9, 18, 8) → {(9 × 8) ÷ 4} ⇒ 72 ÷ 4 = 18

Similarly,

(12, 24, 8) → {(12 × 8) ÷ 4} ⇒ 96 ÷ 4 = 24

Hence, "(12, 24, 8)" is the correct answer.

25. 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 03/12/2022 (3rd Shift)]

11 : 94 :: 23 : ? :: 18 : 150

Correct Answer: (a) 190
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a : b) → {(a × 8) + 6} = b

(11 : 94) → {(11 × 8) + 6} ⇒ 88 + 6 = 94

(18 : 150) → {(18 × 8) + 6} ⇒ 144 + 6 = 150

Similarly,

(23 : ?) → {(23 × 8) + 6} ⇒ 184 + 6 = 190

Hence, "190" is the correct answer.

26. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following set. [S.S.C CGL 03/12/2022 (3rd Shift)]

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

(0.20, 5, 25)

(0.083, 12, 144)

Correct Answer: (d) (0.063, 16, 256)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → (b ÷ c) = a

(0.20, 5, 25) → 5 ÷ 25 ≈ 0.20

(0.083, 12, 144) → 12 ÷ 144 ≈ 0.083

Similarly,

(0.063, 16, 256) → 16 ÷ 256 ≈ 0.0625 ≈ 0.063

Hence, "(0.063, 16, 256)" is the correct answer.

27. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following set. [S.S.C CGL 03/12/2022 (4th Shift)]

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

(6, 22, 14)

(8, 30, 19)

Correct Answer: (b) (4, 18, 11)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → {(b + a) ÷ 2} = c

(6, 22, 14) → {(22 + 6) ÷ 2} ⇒ 28 ÷ 2 = 14

(8, 30, 19) → {(30 + 8) ÷ 2} ⇒ 38 ÷ 2 = 19

Similarly,

(4, 18, 11) → {(18 + 4) ÷ 2} ⇒ 22 ÷ 2 = 11

Hence, "(4, 18, 11)" is the correct answer.

28. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following sets. [S.S.C CGL 03/12/2022 (4th Shift)]

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

(63, 81, 7)

(84, 49, 12)

Correct Answer: (a) (99, 121, 9)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → (a ÷ c​)² = b

(63, 81, 7) → (63 ÷ 7)² ⇒ 9² = 81

(84, 49, 12) → (84 ÷ 12)² ⇒ 7² = 49

Similarly,

(99, 121, 9) → (99 ÷ 9)² ⇒ 11² = 121

Hence, "(99, 121, 9)" is the correct answer.

29. 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 05/12/2022 (1st Shift)]

7 : 25 :: 4 : 4 :: 3 : ?

Correct Answer: (c) 1
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a : b) → (a - 2)² = b 

(7 : 25) → (7 - 2)² ⇒ 5² = 25

(4 : 4) → (4 - 2)² ⇒ 2² = 4

Similarly,

(3 : ?) → (3 - 2)² ⇒ 1² = 1

Hence, "1" is the correct answer.

30. 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 05/12/2022 (1st Shift)]

(The words must be considered as meaningful English words and must be related to each other based on the number of letters/number of consonants / vowels in the word.)

Movie : Director :: Orchestra : ?

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

Movie is directed by the director

Similarly,

Orchestra is conducted by the conductor.

Hence, "Conductor" is the correct answer.
