31. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the given 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.)

(15, 45, 90)

(8, 24, 48)

Correct Answer: (c) 6, 18, 36
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

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

Hence, "(6, 18, 36)" is the correct answer.

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. [S.S.C CGL 21/07/2023 (3rd shift)]

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

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

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

(4 : 33) → {(4³ ÷ 2) + 1} ⇒ {(64 ÷ 2) + 1} ⇒ 32 + 1 = 33

(8 : 257) → {(8³ ÷ 2) + 1} ⇒ {(512 ÷ 2) + 1} ⇒ 256 + 1 = 257

Similarly,

(x : 109) → {(x³ ÷ 2) + 1} = 109

⇒ x³ = (109 - 1) × 2

⇒ x³ = 108 × 2

⇒ x³ = 216

⇒ x³ = 6³

⇒ x = 6

Hence, "6" is the correct answer.

33. 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 (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:The pattern followed here is :

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

(34, 12, 10) → {(12 × 2) + 10} → 24 + 10 = 34

(56, 17, 22) → {(17 × 2) + 22} → 34 + 22 = 56

Similarly,

(46, 19, 8) → {(19 × 2) + 8} → 38 + 8 = 46

Hence, "(46, 19, 8)" is the correct answer.

34. 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 21/07/2023 (4th shift)]

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

(4, 1024, 64)

(225, 81, 135)

Correct Answer: (c) (49, 841, 203)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

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

(4, 1024, 64) → √4 × √1024 ⇒ 2 × 32 = 64

(225, 81, 135) → √225 × √81 ⇒ 15 × 9 = 135

Similarly,

(49, 841, 203) → √49 × √841 ⇒ 7 × 29 = 203

Hence, "(49, 841, 203)" is the correct answer.

35. 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 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:The pattern followed here is :

1st number - 2nd number = 41 & 2nd number - 3rd 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

Hence, "(108, 67, 26)" is the correct answer.

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. [S.S.C CGL 21/07/2023 (4th shift)]

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

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

Hence, "FHLRP" is the correct answer.

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

Correct Answer: (b) Affluent
Solution:The logic followed here is :

As the poor are destitute.

Similarly,

The rich are affluent.

Hence, "Affluent" is the correct answer.

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. [S.S.C CGL 24/07/2023 (1st shift)]

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

Correct Answer: (a) 283
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

{(1st number × 4) - 5} = 2nd number

(29 : 111) → {(29 × 4) - 5} ⇒ 116 - 5 = 111

(36 : 139) → {(36 × 4) - 5} ⇒ 144 - 5 = 139

Similarly,

(72 : ?) → {(72 × 4) - 5} ⇒ 288 - 5 = 283

Hence, "283" is the correct answer.

39. 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 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:The pattern followed here is :

{(1st number ÷ 11) - (2nd number ÷ 9)} = 3rd 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

Hence, "(77, 18, 5)" is the correct answer.

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. [S.S.C CGL 24/07/2023 (1st shift)]

CHOSEN: DIPTFO :: COPPER: DPQQFS ::BOTTLE: ?

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

Hence, "CPUUMF" is the correct answer.
