Analogy (SSC CGL 2022 Tier -2)

Total Questions: 4

1. 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 Tier II (02/03/2023)]

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

(11, 33, 17)

(18, 44, 21)

Correct Answer: (c) (16, 43, 22)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → a + c + 5 = b

(11, 33, 17) → 11 + 17 + 5 = 33

(18, 44, 21) → 21 + 18 + 5 = 44

Similarly,

(16, 43, 22) → 16 + 22 + 5 = 43

Hence, "(16, 43, 22)" is the correct answer.

2. 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 Tier II (03/03/2023)]

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

(7, 3, 43)

(5, 2, 21)

Correct Answer: (a) (11, 5, 111)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → {(a × b × 2) + 1} = c

(7, 3, 43) → {(7 × 3 × 2) + 1} = 43

(5, 2, 21) → {(5 × 2 × 2) + 1} = 21
Similarly,

(11, 5, 111) → {(11 × 5 × 2) + 1} = 111

Hence, "(11, 5, 111)" is the correct answer.

3. 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 Tier II (06/03/2023)]

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

(8, 1, 46)

(9, 4, 22)

Correct Answer: (c) (7, 3, 13)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → {(a - b)² - 3} = c

(8, 1, 46) → {(8 - 1)² - 3} ⇒ 49 - 3 = 46

(9, 4, 22) → {(9 - 4)² - 3} ⇒ 25 - 3 = 22
Similarly,

(7, 3, 13) → {(7 - 3)² - 3} ⇒ 16 - 3 = 13

Hence, "(7, 3, 13)" is the correct answer.

4. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following set.

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

(18, 39, 60)

(27, 48, 69)

Correct Answer: (b) (35, 56, 77)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → {(a + c) ÷ 2} = b

(18, 39, 60) → {(18 + 60) ÷ 2} ⇒ 78 ÷ 2 = 39

(27, 48, 69) → {(27 + 69) ÷ 2} ⇒ 96 ÷ 2 = 48

Similarly,

(35, 56, 77) →{(35 + 77) ÷ 2} ⇒ 112 ÷ 2 = 56

Hence, "(35, 56, 77)" is the correct answer.
