41. 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 (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:Logic: - (2 × First number + Second number) = Third number

(17, 24, 58): ⇒ (2 × 17 + 24) = 58
(26, 37, 89): ⇒ (2 × 26 + 37) = 89
Similarly, (15, 17, 47): ⇒ (2 × 15 + 17) = 47

42. 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 (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:Logic: - (1st number × 3rd number) ÷ 2 = 2nd number

(13, 39, 6): ⇒ (13 × 6) ÷ 2 = 39
(9, 18, 4): ⇒ (9 × 4) ÷ 2 = 18
Similarly, (12, 48, 8): ⇒ (12 × 8) ÷ 2 = 48

43. 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 (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: Logic: - (First number − Second number) × 4 =

(45, 15, 120): - (45 - 15) × 4 = 120
(27, 8, 76): - (27 - 8) × 4 = 76
Similarly, (56, 48, 32): - (56 - 48) × 4 = 32

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:Logic: - {first num × third num}+4=second num 

(12, 112, 9) ⇒ {12 × 9} + 4 = 112
(10, 84, 8) ⇒ {10 × 8} + 4 = 84
Similarly, (18, 94, 5) ⇒ {18 × 5} + 4 = 94

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. [SSC CGL 07/12/2022 (3rd Shift)]

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

Correct Answer: (b) 1463
Solution:Logic: - a : a³ + a² +a 

In (4 : 84) ⇒ 4³ + 4² + 4 = 84 

In (13 : 2379) ⇒ 13³ + 13² + 13 = 2379

Similarly, (11 : 1463) ⇒ 11 ³ + 11² + 11 = 1463

46. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the given set. [SSC 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:Logic: -

(First number +10 = Second number) and (Second number + 5 = Third number)

In (3, 13, 18)
⇒ 3 + 10 = 13 and 13 + 5 = 18
In (29, 39, 44)
⇒ 29 + 10 = 39 and 39 + 5 = 44
Similarly,
In (16, 26, 31) ⇒ 16 + 10 = 26 and 26 + 5 = 31

47. Select the word-pair that best represents a similar relationship to the one expressed in the given pair of words. [SSC 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:As Horizontal is the opposite of Vertical, in the same way, Humid is the opposite of Dry.

48. 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 (4th Shift)]

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

(4, 50, 6)
(13, 128, 3)

Correct Answer: (d) (15, 162, 3)
Solution:Logic: -


In (4, 50, 6): - (4 + 6) × (4 + 6/2) = 50

In (13, 128, 3): - (13 + 3) × (13 + 3/2) =128

Similarly, In (15, 162, 3): - (15 + 3) × (15 + 3/2) =162

49. 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. [SSC CGL 08/12/2022 (1st Shift)]

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

Correct Answer: (d) 9
Solution:Logic :- { first num × 3) - 2 = second num.
(11 : 31) ⇒ (11 × 3) - 2 = 31
(14 : 40) ⇒ (14 × 3) - 2 = 40
Similarly, (9 : 25) ⇒ (9 × 3) - 2 = 25

50. Select the option that is related to the third word in the same way as the second word is related to the first word. [SSC 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:As Lethargy is the antonym of Alertness, similarly Gentle is the antonym of Harsh.
