11. 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 20/07/2023 (1st shift)]

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

(12, 4, 64)

(8, 6, 14)

(a) (7, 3, 28)
(b) (10, 6, 42)
(c) (11, 9, 15)
(d) (9, 5, 28)

Correct Answer: (d) (9, 5, 28)

Solution:The pattern followed here is :

{(1^st number)² - (2^nd number)²} ÷ 2 = 3^rd number

(12, 4, 64) → {(12² - 4²) ÷ 2} ⇒ (144 - 16) ÷ 2 ⇒ 128 ÷ 2 = 64

(8, 6, 14) → {(8² - 6²) ÷ 2} ⇒ (64 - 36) ÷ 2 ⇒ 28 ÷ 2 = 14

Similarly,

(9, 5, 28) → {(9² - 5²) ÷ 2} ⇒ (81 - 25) ÷ 2 ⇒ 56 ÷ 2 = 28

Hence, "(9, 5, 28)" is the correct answer.

12. 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)]

SAME : WDOF :: LIFE : PLHF :: GOAL : ?

(a) KRCM
(b) KRBM
(c) KSCM
(d) JRCM

Correct Answer: (a) KRCM

Solution:The pattern followed here is :

Hence, "KRCM" is the correct answer.

13. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the given sets. [S.S.C CGL 20/07/2023 (1st shift)]

(NOTE : Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits.)
(14, 60, 16)

(12, 40, 8)

(a) (19, 80, 21)
(b) (15, 45, 30)
(c) (25, 120, 15)
(d) (20, 30, 40)

Correct Answer: (a) (19, 80, 21)

Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1^st number + 3^rd number) × 2 = 2^nd number

(14, 60, 16) → {(14 + 16) × 2} ⇒ 30 × 2 = 60

(12, 40, 8) → {(12 + 8) × 2} ⇒ 20 × 2 = 40

Similarly,

(19, 80, 21) → (19 + 21) × 2 = 80

Hence, "(19, 80, 21)" is the correct answer.

14. Select the word-pair that best represents a similar relationship to the one expressed in the given pair of words. [S.S.C CGL 20/07/2023 (2nd 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)
Film : Director

(a) Pages : Books
(b) Doctor : Nurse
(c) Dance : Choreographer
(d) Degree : Engineer

Correct Answer: (c) Dance : Choreographer

Solution:The logic followed here is :

As directors control the sequence of film

Similarly,

Choreographers plan the sequence of movement in dance.

Hence, "(Dance : Choreographer)" is the correct answer.

15. 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 (2nd shift)]

CYCLE : BXBKF :: TYRE : SXQF :: SCOOTER : ?

(a) TDNNUFQ
(b) RBPPSFQ
(c) TDNNUDS
(d) RBPPSDS

Correct Answer: (b) RBPPSFQ

Solution:The pattern followed here is :

Vowels take +1 with their place value and consonants take -1 with their place value.

Hence, "RBPPSFQ" is the correct answer.

16. 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 20/07/2023 (2nd shift)]

(NOTE : Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits.)
(15, 5, 375)

(14, 3, 210)

(a) (10, 12, 320)
(b) (17, 19, 920)
(c) (14, 15, 780)
(d) (11, 16, 880)

Correct Answer: (d) (11, 16, 880)

Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1^st number) × (2^nd number) × 5 = 3^rd number
(15, 5, 375) → 15 × 5 × 5 = 375

(14, 3, 210) → 14 × 3 × 5 = 210

Similarly,

(11, 16, 880) → 11 × 16 × 5 = 880

Hence, "(11, 16, 880)" is the correct answer.

17. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following set. [S.S.C CGL 20/07/2023 (2nd shift)]

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

(6, 7, 98)

(8, 10, 182)

(a) 10, 12, 150
(b) 5, 9, 120
(c) 12, 14, 434
(d) 4, 5, 50

Correct Answer: (d) 4, 5, 50

Solution:The pattern followed here is :

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

(6, 7, 98) → {(6² + 7²) + (6 + 7)} ⇒ {(36 + 49) + (6 + 7)} ⇒ 85 + 13 = 98

(8, 10, 182) → {(8² + 10²) + (8 + 10)} ⇒ {(64 + 100) + (8 + 10)} ⇒ 164 + 18 = 182

Similarly,

(4, 5, 50) → {(4² + 5²) + (4 + 5)} ⇒ {(16 + 25) + (4 + 5)} ⇒ 41 + 9 = 50

Hence, "(4, 5, 50)" is the correct answer.

18. Select the option that is related to the fifth term in the same way as the second term is related to the first term and the fourth term is related to the third term. [S.S.C CGL 20/07/2023 (3rd shift)]

32 : 8 :: 72 : 12 :: 128 : ?

(a) 18
(b) 16
(c) 14
(d) 15

Correct Answer: (b) 16

Solution:The pattern followed here is :

2^nd number × 2^nd number ÷ 2 = 1^st number

(32 : 8) → {(8 × 8) ÷ 2} ⇒ 64 ÷ 2 = 32

(72 : 12) → {(12 × 12) ÷ 2} ⇒ 144 ÷ 2 = 72

Similarly,

(128 : ?) → {(16 × 16) ÷ 2 ⇒ 256 ÷ 2 = 128

Hence, "16" is the correct answer.

19. Select the option that is related to the fifth number in the same way as the second number is related to the first number and the fourth number is related to the third number. [S.S.C CGL 20/07/2023 (3rd shift)]

192 : 24 :: 48 : 12 :: 432 : ?

(a) 42
(b) 32
(c) 48
(d) 36

Correct Answer: (d) 36

Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(2^nd number)² ÷ 3 = 1^st number

(192 : 24) → (24)² ÷ 3 ⇒ 576 ÷ 3 = 192

(48 : 12) → (12)² ÷ 3 ⇒ 144 ÷ 3 = 48

Similarly,

(432 : x) → (x)² ÷ 3 = 432

⇒ x² = 432 × 3

⇒ x² = 1296

⇒ x = 36

Hence, "36" is the correct answer.

20. Select the option that is related to the third word in the same way as the second word is related to the first word. [S.S.C CGL 20/07/2023 (3rd 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.)

School : Principal :: Prison : ?

(a) Doctor
(b) Engineer
(c) Plumber
(d) Jailor

Correct Answer: (d) Jailor

Solution:The logic followed here is :

As the Principal leads the whole community of the School

Similarly,

The Jailor leads the whole community of the Prison.

Hence, "jailer" is the correct answer.
