41. 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 07/12/2022 (1st Shift)]

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

(17, 24, 58)

(26, 37, 89)

Correct Answer: (a) (15, 17, 47)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → (2a + b) = c

(17, 24, 58) → {(2 × 17) + 24} ⇒ 34 + 24 = 58

(26, 37, 89) → {(2 × 26) + 37} ⇒ 52 + 37 = 89

Similarly,

(15, 17, 47) → {(2 × 15) + 17} ⇒ 30 + 17 = 47

Hence, "(15, 17, 47)" is the correct answer.

42. 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 07/12/2022 (1st Shift)]

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

(13, 39, 6)

(9, 18, 4)

Correct Answer: (a) (12, 48, 8)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → {(a × c) ÷ 2} = b

(13, 39, 6) → {(13 × 6) ÷ 2} ⇒ 78 ÷ 2 = 39

(9, 18, 4) → {(9 × 4) ÷ 2} ⇒ 36 ÷ 2 = 18

Similarly,

(12, 48, 8) → {(12 × 8) ÷ 2} ⇒ 96 ÷ 2 = 48

Hence, "(12, 48, 8)" is the correct answer.

43. 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 07/12/2022 (1st Shift)]

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

(45, 15, 120)

(27, 8, 76)

Correct Answer: (d) (56, 48, 32)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → {(a - b) × 4} = c

(45, 15, 120) → {(45 - 15) × 4} ⇒ 30 × 4 = 120

(27, 8, 76) → {(27 - 8) × 4} ⇒ 19 × 4 = 76

Similarly,

(56, 48, 32) → {(56 - 48) × 4} ⇒ 8 × 4 = 32

Hence, "(56, 48, 32)" is the correct answer.

44. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following set. [SSC CGL 07/12/2022 (2nd Shift)]

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

(12, 112, 9)

(10, 84, 8)

Correct Answer: (d) (18, 94, 5)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → {(a × c) + 4} = b

(12, 112, 9) → {(12 × 9} + 4) ⇒ 108 + 4 = 112

(10, 84, 8) → {(10 × 8} + 4) ⇒ 80 + 4 = 84

Similarly,

(18, 94, 5) → {(18 × 5} + 4) ⇒ 90 + 4 = 94

Hence, "(18, 94, 5)" is the correct answer.

45. 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 07/12/2022 (3rd Shift)]

4 : 84 :: 11 : ? :: 13 : 2379

Correct Answer: (b) 1463
Solution:(18, 94, 5)

(a : b) → a³ + a² +a = b

(4 : 84) → 4³ + 4² + 4 ⇒ 64 + 16 + 4 = 84 

(13 : 2379) → 13³ + 13² + 13 ⇒ 2197 + 169 + 13 = 2379 

Similarly,

(11 : 1463) → 11³ + 11² + 11 ⇒ 1331 + 121 + 11 = 1463

Hence, "(11 : 1463)" is the correct answer.

46. 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 07/12/2022 (3rd Shift)]

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

(3, 13, 18)

(29, 39, 44)

Correct Answer: (d) (16, 26, 31)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → (a +10) = b and (b + 5) = c

(3, 13, 18) → 3 + 10 = 13 and 13 + 5 = 18

(29, 39, 44) → 29 + 10 = 39 and 39 + 5 = 44

Similarly,

(16, 26, 31) → 16 + 10 = 26 and 26 + 5 = 31

Hence, "(16, 26, 31)" is the correct answer.

47. Select the word-pair that best represents a similar relationship to the one expressed in the given pair of words. [S.S.C CGL 07/12/2022 (4th 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.)

Horizontal : Vertical :: ?

Correct Answer: (b) Humid : Dry
Solution:The logic followed here is :

As Horizontal is the opposite of Vertical

In the same way,

Humid is the opposite of Dry.

Hence, "Humid : Dry" is the correct answer.

48. 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 08/12/2022 (1st Shift)]

11 : 31 :: ? : 25 :: 14 : 40

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

(a : b) → {(a × 3) - 2} = b

(11 : 31) → {(11 × 3) - 2} = 31

(14 : 40) → {(14 × 3) - 2} = 40

Similarly,

(9 : 25) → {(9 × 3) - 2} = 25

Hence, "(9 : 25)" is the correct answer.

49. 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 08/12/2022 (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.)

Lethargy : Alertness :: Gentle : ?

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

As Lethargy is the antonym of Alertness

Similarly,

Gentle is the antonym of Harsh.

Hence, "Harsh" is the correct answer.
