41. 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 24/07/2023 (1st shift)]

45 : 15 :: 20 : 10 :: 125 : ?

Correct Answer: (b) 25
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(2nd number)² ÷ 5 = 1st number

(45 : 15) → 15² ÷  5 ⇒ 225 ÷ 5 = 45

(20 : 10) → 10² ÷ 5 ⇒ 100 ÷ 5 = 20

Similarly,

(125 : x) → x² ÷  5 = 125

⇒ x² = 125 × 5

⇒ x² = 625

⇒ x² = 25²

⇒ x = 25

Hence, "25" is the correct answer.

42. 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 24/07/2023 (2nd shift)]

5 : 140 :: 8 : 536 :: 6 : ?

Correct Answer: (c) 234
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

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

(5 : 140) → {5³ + (5 × 3)} ⇒ 125 + 15 = 140

(8 : 536) → {8³ + (8 × 3)} ⇒ 512 + 24 = 536

Similarly,

(6 : ?) → {6³ + (6 × 3)} ⇒ 216 + 18 = 234

Hence, "234" is the correct answer.

43. 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 24/07/2023 (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.)

Socks : Feet :: Glares : ?

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

As a sock is a piece of clothing worn on the feet

Similarly,

Glasses are an article which is worn on the eyes.

Hence, "Eyes" is the correct answer.

44. 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 (2nd shift)]

STOP : OQMO :: JUMP : FRKO :: MOVE : ?

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

Hence, "ILTD" is the correct answer.

45. 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 24/07/2023 (3rd shift)]

Portugal : Lisbon

Correct Answer: (d) Italy : Rome
Solution:The logic followed here is :

As Lisbon is the capital of Portugal

Similarly,

Rome is the capital of Italy.

Hence, "Italy : Rome" is the correct answer.

46. 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 (3rd shift)]

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

(4, 16, 8)

(2, 14, 9)

Correct Answer: (b) (2, 8, 6)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

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

(4, 16, 8) → {(16 ÷ 4) + 4} ⇒ 4 + 4 = 8

(2, 8, 6) → {(8 ÷ 2) + 2} ⇒ 4 + 2 = 6

Similarly,

(2, 14, 9) → {(14 ÷ 2) + 2} ⇒ 7 + 2 = 9

Hence, "(2, 14, 9)" is the correct answer.

47. 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 (3rd Shift)]

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

(4, 14, 828)

(3, 10, 620)

Correct Answer: (b) (2, 50, 500)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

[{3rd number - (2nd number × 2)} ÷ 1st number] = 200

(4, 14, 828) → [{828 - (14 × 2)} ÷  4] ⇒ {(828 - 28) ÷ 4} ⇒ 800 ÷ 4 = 200

(3, 10, 620) → [{620 - (10 × 2)} ÷  3] ⇒ {(620 - 20) ÷ 3} ⇒ 600 ÷ 3 = 200

Similarly,

(2, 50, 500) → [{500 - (50 × 2)} ÷  2] ⇒ {(500 - 100) ÷ 2} ⇒ 400 ÷ 2 = 200

Hence, "(2, 50, 500)" is the correct answer.

48. 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 (3rd Shift)]

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

(10, 5, 65)

(9, 8, 89)

Correct Answer: (c) (4, 5, 29)
Solution:The Pattern followed here is :

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

(10, 5, 65) → {(10 × 5) + (10 + 5)} ⇒ 50 + 15 = 65

(9, 8, 89) → {(9 × 8) + (9 + 8)} ⇒ 72 + 17 = 89

Similarly,

(4, 5, 29) → {(4 × 5) + (4 + 5)} ⇒ 20 + 9 = 29

Hence, "(4, 5, 29)" is the correct answer.

49. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the given sets. [SSC CGL 24/07/2023 (4th Shift)]

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

(15, 28, 41)

(19, 32, 45)

Correct Answer: (d) (22, 35, 48)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

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

(15, 28, 41) → {(15 + 41) ÷ 2} ⇒ 56 ÷ 2 = 28

(19, 32, 45) → {(19 + 45) ÷ 2} ⇒ 64 ÷ 2 = 32

Similarly,

(22, 35, 48) → {(22 + 48) ÷ 2} ⇒ 70 ÷ 2 = 35

Hence, "(22, 35, 48)" is the correct answer.

50. 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 24/07/2023 (4th Shift)]

24 : 2 :: 81 : 3 :: 375 : ?

Correct Answer: (b) 5
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

{(2nd number)³ × 3} = 1st number

(24 : 2) → 2³ × 3 ⇒ 8 × 3 = 24

(81 : 3) → 3³ × 3 ⇒ 27 × 3 = 81

Similarly,

(375 : x) → x³ × 3 = 375

⇒ x³ = 375 ÷ 3

⇒ x³ = 125

⇒ x³ = 5³

⇒ x = 5

Hence, "5" is the correct answer.
