31. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the given set. [SSC CGL 21/07/2023 (3rd shift)]

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

(15, 45, 90)
(8, 24, 48)

Correct Answer: (c) 6, 18, 36
Solution:Logic: (First number × 3) + Second number, (Second number) × 2 = Third number
(15, 45, 90) : (15 × 3) = 45, (45 × 2) = 90
(8, 24, 48) : (8 × 3) = 24, (24 × 2) = 48

Similarly,

(6, 18, 36 : (6 × 3) = 18, (18 × 2) = 36

32. Select the option that is related to the fourth term in the same way as the first term is related to the second term and the fifth term is related to the sixth term. [SSC CGL 21/07/2023 (3rd shift)]

4: 33 :: ?: 109 :: 8 : 257

Correct Answer: (c) 6
Solution:[(First number) x (First number)^2] + 2 + 1 = Second number
4 : 33 = [(4) x (4)^2] ÷ 2 + 1
= [4 x 16] ÷ 2 + 1 = 32 + 1 = 33
8 : 257 = [(8) x (8)^2] ÷ 2 + 1
= [8 x 64] ÷ 2 + 1 = 256 + 1 = 257
Similarly, ? : 109 = [(6) x (6)^2] ÷ 2 + 1
= [6 x 36] ÷ 2 + 1 = 108 + 1 = 109

33. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets. [SSC CGL 21/07/2023 (4th shift)]

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

(34, 12, 10)

(56, 17, 22)

Correct Answer: (b) (46, 19, 8)
Solution:Logic: First number = (Second number x 2) + Third number
(34, 12, 10)
= 34 = (12 x 2) + 10 = 24 + 10 = 34
(56, 17, 22)
= 56 = (17 x 2) + 22 = 34 + 22 = 56
Similarly, (46, 19, 8)
= 46 = (19 x 2) + 8 = 38 + 8 = 46

34. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the given sets. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits.) [SSC CGL 21/07/2023 (4th shift)]

(4, 1024, 64)

(225, 81, 135)

Correct Answer: (c) (49, 841, 203)
Solution:Logic: (Square root of first number) x (Square root of second number) = Third number
(4, 1024, 64)
(√4) x (√1024) = 2 x 32 = 64
(225, 81, 135)
(√225) x (√81) = 15 x 9 = 135
Similarly, (49, 841, 203)
(√49) x (√841) = 7 x 29 = 203

35. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following set. [SSC CGL 21/07/2023 (4th shift)]

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

(189, 148, 107)

(206, 165, 124)

Correct Answer: (d) (108, 67, 26)
Solution: Logic:
(First number - Second number) = 41
(Second number - Third number) = 41
(189, 148, 107)
(189 - 148) = 41, (148 - 107) = 41
(206, 165, 124)
(206 - 165) = 41, (165 - 124) = 41
Similarly, (108, 67, 26)
(108 - 67) = 41, (67 - 26) = 41

36. 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 21/07/2023 (4th shift)]

PLATE: FVDPU :: SPOON: OQRTX :: KNIFE: ?

Correct Answer: (d) FHLRP
Solution:

37. 'Poor' is related to 'Destitute' in the same way as 'Rich' is related to: [SSC CGL 24/07/2023 (1st shift)]

Correct Answer: (b) Affluent
Solution:As the poor are destitute, similarly the rich are affluent.

38. 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 24/07/2023 (1st shift)]

29 : 111 :: 72 : ? :: 36 : 139

Correct Answer: (a) 283
Solution: Logic:
(First number) x 4 - 5 = (Second number)
29 : 111 — (29) x 4 - 5 = (116) - 5 = 111
36 : 139 — (36) x 4 - 5 = (144) - 5 = 139
Similarly,
72 : ? — (72) x 4 - 5 = (288) - 5 = 283

39. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets. [SSC CGL 24/07/2023 (1st shift)]

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

(121, 81, 2)

(88, 54, 2)

Correct Answer: (d) (77, 18, 5)
Solution:Logic:
(First number ÷ 11) - (Second number ÷ 9) = Third number
  • (121, 81, 2)
    → (121 ÷ 11) - (81 + 9) = (11) - (9) = 2
  • (88, 54, 2)
    → (88 ÷ 11) - (54 ÷ 9) = (8) - (6) = 2

Similarly, (77, 18, 5)
→ (77 ÷ 11) - (18 ÷ 9) = (7) - (2) = 5

40. 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 24/07/2023 (1st shift)]
