Total Questions: 50

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. [SSC CGL 19/07/2023 (2nd shift)]

15 : 52 :: 33 : ____ :: 22 : 73

(a) 121
(b) 122
(c) 106
(d) 111

Correct Answer: (c) 106

Solution:Logic:
(First number × 3) + 7 = Second number
(15 : 52) → (15 × 3) + 7 = 52
(22 : 73) → (22 × 3) + 7 = 73

Similarly, (33 : ?) → (33 × 3) + 7 = 106

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

(a) (10, 8, 98)
(b) (14, 16, 8)
(c) (10, 5, 200)
(d) (16, 8, 126)

Correct Answer: (d) (16, 8, 126)

Solution:Logic: (First number × Second number) - (First number ÷ Second number) = Third number
(100, 2, 150) → (100 × 2) - (100 ÷ 2)
150 - 50 = 150

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

Similarly,
(16, 8, 126) → (16 × 8) - (16 ÷ 8)
126 - 128 - 2 = 126

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. [SSC CGL 19/07/2023 (3rd shift)]

Solution:

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. [SSC CGL 19/07/2023 (3rd shift)]

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

(a) 520
(b) 504
(c) 502
(d) 540

Correct Answer: (b) 504

Solution:Logic: (First number)² + (First number) × 3 = Second number
(15 : 270) → (15)² + (15) × 3
(225) + 45 = 270
(18 : 378) → (18)² + (18) × 3
(324) + 54 = 378

Similarly,
(21 : ?) → (21)² + (21) × 3 → (441) + 63 = 504

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

(a) (17, 15, 1550)
(b) (11, 7, 955)
(c) (21, 16, 5165)
(d) (16, 14, 1321)

Correct Answer: (c) (21, 16, 5165)

Solution:Logic: (First number)² - (Second number)³ = Third number
(12, 7, 1385) → (12)² - (7)³ = 1385
(1728) - (343) = 1385
(19, 15, 3484) → (19)³ - (15)³
(6859) - (3375) = 3484

Similarly,
(21, 16, 5165) → (21)³ - (16)³
(9261 - 4096) = 5165

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

(a) (63, 8, 3)
(b) (2, 2, 2)
(c) (8, 3, 2)
(d) (10, 6, 5)

Correct Answer: (b) (2, 2, 2)

Solution:Logic: (Second number)² - 2 = First number
(194, 14, 4) → (14)² - 2 = 196 - 2 = 194
(527, 23, 5) → (23)² - 2 = 529 - 2 = 527
(2, 2, 2) → 2² - 2 = 4 - 2 = 2

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

(a) (5, 72, 10)
(b) (77, 4, 14)
(c) (112, 8, 15)
(d) (6, 87, 12)

Correct Answer: (c) (112, 8, 15)

Solution:Logic: (Second number + Third number) × 5 - 3 = First Number
(62, 5, 8) → (5 + 8) × 5 - 3 = 65 - 3 = 62

(87, 7, 11) → (7 + 11) × 5 - 3 = 90 - 3 = 87
Similarly,
(112, 8, 15) → (8 + 15) × 5 - 3 = 115 - 3 = 112

8. Select the set in which the numbers are NOT related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets. [SSC 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)

(a) (7, 10, 298)
(b) (13, 15, 788)
(c) (11, 9, 560)
(d) (9, 8, 290)

Correct Answer: (c) (11, 9, 560)

Solution:Logic: {(First number)² + (Second number)²} × 2 = Third Number
(4, 5, 82) → (4² + 5²) × 2 = 41 × 2 = 82
(6, 11, 314) → (6² + 11²) × 2 = 157 × 2 = 314

Similarly, (11, 9, 560) → (11² + 9²) × 2
= 202 × 2 = 404 (not 560)

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

(a) (10, 9, 144)
(b) (9, 8, 12)
(c) (8, 7, 59)
(d) (8, 7, 7)

Correct Answer: (d) (8, 7, 7)

Solution:Logic: {(First number)² - (Second number)²} - 8 = Third Number
(7, 5, 16) → (7² - 5²) - 8 = 24 - 8 = 16
(12, 10, 36) → (12² - 10²) - 8 = 44 - 8 = 36

Similarly,
(8, 7, 7) → (8² - 7²) - 8 = 15 - 8 = 7

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. [SSC CGL 20/07/2023 (1st shift)]
