21. 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 20/07/2023 (4th shift)]

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

(1000, 100, 10)

(38, 19, 2)

Correct Answer: (a) 125, 25, 5
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

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

(1000, 100, 10) → (100 × 10) = 1000

(38, 19, 2) → (19 × 2) = 38

Similarly,

(125, 25, 5) → (25 × 5) = 125

Hence, "(125, 25, 5)" is the correct answer.

22. 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 (4th shift)]

6 : 16 :: 10 : 28 :: 3 : ?

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

{(1st number × 3) - 2} = 2nd number

(6 : 16) → {(6 × 3) - 2} ⇒ 18 - 2 = 16

(10 : 28) → {(10 × 3) - 2} ⇒ 30 - 2 = 28

Similarly,

(3 : x) → {(3 × 3) - 2} ⇒ 9 - 2 = 7

Hence, "7" is the correct answer.

23. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers are related in the following sets. [S.S.C CGL 20/07/2023 (4th shift)]

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

(300, 100, 100)

(88, 66, 11)

Correct Answer: (b) 44, 22, 11
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

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

(300, 100, 100) → {100 + (100 × 2} ⇒ 100 + 200 = 300

(88, 66, 11) → {66 + (11 × 2)} ⇒ 66 + 22 = 154

Similarly,

(44, 22, 11) → {22 + (11 × 2)} ⇒ 22 + 22 = 44

Hence, "(44, 22, 11)" is the correct answer.

24. Select the word-pair that best represents a similar relationship to the one expressed in the pair of words given below. [S.S.C CGL 21/07/2023 (1st 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.)

Horse : Mare

Correct Answer: (a) Bull : Cow
Solution:The logic followed here is :

As Horse is an adult male and Mare is an adult female

Similarly,

Bull is an adult male and Cow is an adult female.

Hence, "(Bull : Cow)" is the correct answer.

25. 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 21/07/2023 (1st shift)]

ADAMS : DASMA :: TOWER : OTREW :: RAINY : ?

Correct Answer: (a) ARYNI
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

Hence, "ARYNI" is the correct answer.

26. 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 21/07/2023 (1st shift)]

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

(26, 62, 140)

(12, 39, 75)

Correct Answer: (b) 20, 48, 108
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

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

(26, 62, 140) → (26 × 3) + 62 ⇒ 78 + 62 = 140

(12, 39, 75) → (12 × 3) + 39 ⇒ 36 + 39 = 75

Similarly,

(20, 48, 108) → (20 × 3) + 48 ⇒ 60 + 48 = 108

Hence, "(20, 48, 108)" is the correct answer.

27. 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 21/07/2023 (2nd shift)]

MOTHER : SGKXTS :: SIMPLE : FNSQNY :: DELIGHT : ?

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

Hence, "UJJMQKK" is the correct answer.

28. 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 21/07/2023 (2nd shift)]

160 : 4 :: 250 : 5 :: 360 : ?

Correct Answer: (a) 6
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(2nd number)² × 10 = 1st number

(160 : 4) → 4² × 10 ⇒ 16 × 10 = 160

(250 : 5) → 5² × 10 ⇒ 25 × 10 = 250

Similarly,

(360 : x) → x² × 10 = 360

⇒ x² = 360 ÷ 10

⇒ x² = 36

⇒ x² = 6²

⇒ x = 6

Hence, "6" is the correct answer.

29. 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 21/07/2023 (2nd shift)]

IDEOLOGY : YGILIYDC :: HARDWARE : YRUWDRUH :: ISOLATED : ?

Correct Answer: (d) DYTULISC
Solution:Logic: Vowels are decreasing by 6 and consonants are written the same.

The pattern followed here is :

Hence, "DYTULISC" is the correct answer.

30. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following set. [S.S.C CGL 21/07/2023 (3rd shift)]

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

(5, 7, 140)

(6, 4, 96)

Correct Answer: (c) 9, 2, 72
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number × 2nd number) × 4 = 3rd number

(5, 7, 140) → {(5 × 7) × 4} ⇒ 35 × 4 = 140

(6, 4, 96) → {(6 × 4) × 4} ⇒ 24 × 4 = 96

Similarly,

(9, 2, 72) → {(9 × 2) × 4} = 18 × 4 = 72

Hence, "(9, 2, 72)" is the correct answer.
