1. 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 19/07/2023 (2nd shift)]

15 : 52 :: 33 : ? :: 22 : 73

Correct Answer: (c) 106
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

{(1st number × 3) + 7} = 2nd number

(15 : 52) → {(15 × 3) + 7} = 52

(22 : 73) → {(22 × 3) + 7} = 73

Similarly,

(33 : ?) → (33 × 3) + 7 = 106

Hence, "106" 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 sets. [S.S.C CGL 19/07/2023 (2nd shift)]

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

(100, 2, 150)

(50, 5, 240)

Correct Answer: (d) (16, 8, 126)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number × 2nd number) - (1st number ÷ 2nd number) = 3rd number

(100, 2, 150) → {(100 × 2) - (100 ÷ 2)} ⇒ 200 - 50 = 150

(50, 5, 240) → {(50 × 5) - (50 ÷ 5)} ⇒ 250 - 10 = 240

Similarly,

(16, 8, 126) → {(16 × 8) - (16 ÷ 8)} ⇒ 128 - 2 = 126

Hence, "(16, 8, 126)" is the correct answer.

3. Select the option that is related to the fifth letter-cluster in the same way as the second letter-cluster is related to the first letter-cluster and the fourth letter-cluster is related to the third letter-cluster. [S.S.C CGL 19/07/2023 (3rd shift)]

PIG : JCA :: SUN : MOH :: TEK : ?

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

Hence, "NYE" is the correct answer.

4. 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 19/07/2023 (3rd shift)]

15 : 270 :: 21 : ? :: 18 : 378

Correct Answer: (b) 504
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

{(1st number)² + (1st number × 3)} = 2nd number

(15 : 270) → {15² + (15 × 3)} ⇒ 225 + 45 = 270

(18 : 378) → {18² + (18 × 3)} ⇒ 324 + 54 = 378

Similarly,

(21 : ?) → {21² + (21 × 3)} ⇒ 441 + 63 = 504

Hence, "504" is the correct answer.

5. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the given sets. [S.S.C CGL 19/07/2023 (3rd shift)]

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

(12, 7, 1385)

(19, 15, 3484)

Correct Answer: (c) (21, 16, 5165)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number)³ - (2nd number)³ = 3rd number

(12, 7, 1385) → 12³ - 7³ ⇒ 1728 - 343 = 1385

(19, 15, 3484) → 19³ - 15³ ⇒ 6859 - 3375 = 348

Similarly,

(21, 16, 5165) → 21³ - 16³ ⇒ 9261 - 4096 = 5165

Hence, "(21, 16, 5156)" is the correct answer.

6. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the given sets. [S.S.C CGL 19/07/2023 (4th shift)]

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

(194, 14, 4)

(527, 23, 5)

Correct Answer: (b) (2, 2, 2)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(2nd number)² - 2 = 1st number

(194, 14, 4) → 14² - 2 ⇒ 196 - 2 = 194

(527, 23, 5) → 23² - 2 ⇒ 529 - 2 = 527

Similarly,

(2, 2, 2) → 2² - 2 ⇒ 4 - 2 = 2

Hence, "(2, 2, 2)" is the correct answer.

7. 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 19/07/2023 (4th shift)]

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

(62, 5, 8)

(87, 7, 11)

Correct Answer: (c) (112, 8, 15)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

[{(2nd number + 3rd number) × 5} - 3] = 1st number

(62, 5, 8) → [{(5 + 8) × 5} - 3] ⇒ {(13 × 5) - 3} ⇒ 65 - 3 = 62

(87, 7, 11) → [{(7 + 11) × 5} - 3] ⇒ {(18 × 5) - 3} ⇒ 90 - 3 = 87

Similarly,

(112, 8, 15) → [{(8 + 15) × 5} - 3] ⇒ {(23 × 5) - 3} ⇒ 115 - 3 = 112

Hence, "(112, 8, 15)" is the correct answer.

8. Select the set in which the numbers are NOT related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets. [S.S.C CGL 19/07/2023 (4th shift)]

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

(4, 5, 82)

(6, 11, 314)

Correct Answer: (c) (11, 9, 560)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

[{(1st number)² + (2nd number)²} × 2] = 3rd number

(4, 5, 82) → (4² + 5²) × 2 ⇒ {(16 + 25) × 2} ⇒ 41 × 2 = 82

(6, 11, 314) → (6² + 11²) × 2 ⇒ {(36 + 121) × 2} ⇒ 157 × 2 = 314

Similarly,

(11, 9, 560) → (11² + 9²) × 2 ⇒ {(121 + 81) × 2} ⇒ 202 × 2 = 404 ≠ 560

Hence, "(11, 9, 560)" is the correct answer.

9. 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 19/07/2023 (4th shift)]

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

(7, 5, 16)

(12, 10, 36)

Correct Answer: (d) (8, 7, 7)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

{(1st number)² - (2nd number)²} - 8 = 3rd Number

(7, 5, 16) → (7² - 5²) - 8 ⇒ {(49 - 25) - 8} ⇒ 24 - 8 = 16

(12, 10, 36) → (12² - 10²) - 8 ⇒ {(144 - 100) - 8} ⇒ 44 - 8 = 36

Similarly,

(8, 7, 7) → (8² - 7²) - 8 ⇒ {(64 - 49) - 8} ⇒ 15 - 8 = 7

Hence, "(8, 7, 7)" is the correct answer.

10. Select the option that is related to the fifth letter-cluster in the same way as the second letter-cluster is related to the first letter-cluster and the fourth letter-cluster is related to the third letter-cluster. [S.S.C CGL 20/07/2023 (1st shift)]
