Analogy (SSC CGL 2022 Tier -2)

1. Which of the following letter-clusters should replace # and % so that the pattern and relationship followed between the letter-cluster pair on the left side of :: is the same as that on the right side of :: ? [SSC CGL Tier II (02/03/2023)]

DKR :: PCL : %

(a) # = BNQ, % = NFM
(b) # = FHT, % = NFJ
(c) # = CQQ, % = OGH
(d) # = BNP, % = NFJ

Correct Answer: (b) # = FHT, % = NFJ

Solution:After replacing # with FHT and % with NFJ we get.

2. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets. [SSC 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)

(a) (12, 40, 18)
(b) (7, 32, 9)
(c) (16, 43, 22)
(d) (15, 34, 19)

Correct Answer: (c) (16, 43, 22)

Solution: Logic:
(First number + third number + 5 = Second number)

11 + 17 + 5 = 33, 21 + 18 + 5 = 44
Similarly, 16 + 22 + 5 = 43

3. Which of the following letter-clusters should replace # and % so that the pattern and relationship followed between the letter-cluster pair on the left side of :: is the same as that on the right side of :: ? [SSC CGL Tier II (03/03/2023)]

:CLQ :: NDK : %

(a) # = AJS, % = MAM
(b) # = AOO, % = PAM
(c) # = EIT, % = QBN
(d) # = DIS, % = PBN

Correct Answer: (b) # = AOO, % = PAM

Solution:# = AOO, % = PAM

AOO : CLQ :: NDK : PAM

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

(a) (11, 5, 111)
(b) (15, 6, 34)
(c) (13, 23, 131)
(d) (12, 3, 43)

Correct Answer: (a) (11, 5, 111)

Solution:Logic: [

+ 1 = Third number

⇒ (7 × 3) × 2 + 1 = 43
⇒ (5 × 2) × 2 + 1 = 21
Similarly, (11 × 5) × 2 + 1 = 111

5. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following set. [SSC 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)

(a) (4, 2, 5)
(b) (8, 5, 43)
(c) (7, 3, 13)
(d) (7, 6, 13)

Correct Answer: (c) (7, 3, 13)

Solution:Logic
(First number - second number)² - 3 = Third number

⇒ (8 - 1)² - 3 = 49 - 3 = 46
⇒ (9 - 4)² - 3 = 25 - 3 = 22
Similarly, (7 - 3)² - 3 = 13

6. Which of the following letter-clusters should replace # and % so that the pattern and relationship followed between the letter-cluster pair on the left side of :: is the same as that on the right side of :: ? [SSC CGL Tier II (06/03/2023)]

:KNF :: QCV : %

(a) # = JPD, % = OET
(b) # = HPD, % = NFS
(c) # = MLH, % = OET
(d) # = HQC, % = NFS

Correct Answer: (c) # = MLH, % = OET

Solution:After replacing # with MLH and % with OET we get,

7. Which of the following letter-clusters should replace # and % so that the pattern and relationship followed between the letter-cluster pair on the left side of :: is the same as that on the right side of :: ? [SSC CGL Tier II (07/03/2023)]

# : KNF :: POV : %

(a) # = NOB, % = SRY
(b) # = NKF, % = MTU
(c) # = MOB, % = RTT
(d) # = HQD, % = MTV

Correct Answer: (b) # = NKF, % = MTU

Solution:# = NKF, % = MTU

# : KNE :: PQV : %

8. 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)

(a) (24, 64, 96)
(b) (35, 56, 77)
(c) (31, 52, 84)
(d) (17, 28, 49)

Correct Answer: (b) (35, 56, 77)

Solution:Logic
First number + third number = 2 × second number

⇒ (18, 39, 60), 18 + 60 = 78 = 2 × 39 = 78
⇒ (27, 48, 69), 27 + 69 = 96 = 2 × 48
⇒ (35, 56, 77), 35 + 77 = 112 = 2 × 56
