Total Questions: 38

1. 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 (4th Shift)]

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

(28, 65, 261)
(37, 83, 342)

(a) (39, 42, 393)
(b) (46, 92, 414)
(c) (29, 54, 358)
(d) (78, 95, 485)

Correct Answer: (b) (46, 92, 414)
Note:

Logic:
(Third number - Second number) ÷ 7 = First number

(28, 65, 261)
(261 - 65) ÷ 7 = 196 ÷ 7 = 28

(37, 83, 342)
(342 - 83) ÷ 7 = 259 ÷ 7 = 37

Similarly, (46, 92, 414)
(414 - 92) ÷ 7 = (322 ÷ 7) = 46

2. 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 (4th shift)]

ORANGE : FIQEWU :: MANGO : PIQER ::
APPLE : ?

(a) ELPPA
(b) FNSTF
(c) GNSTG
(d) ENSTE

Correct Answer: (b) FNSTF
Note:

3. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following set. [SSC CGL 25/07/2023 (1st shift)]

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

(7, 150, 23)
(11, 75, 4)

(a) (4, 108, 16)
(b) (8, 90, 11)
(c) (9, 80, 11)
(d) (15, 140, 13)

Correct Answer: (d) (15, 140, 13)
Note:

Logic:
(First number + Third number) × 5 = Second number

(7, 150, 23)
(7 + 23) × 5 = (30) × 5 = 150

(11, 75, 4)
(11 + 4) × 5 = (15) × 5 = 75

Similarly, (15, 140, 13)
(15 + 13) × 5 = (28) × 5 = 140

4. The second number in the given number-pairs is obtained by performing certain mathematical operation(s) on the first number. The same operation(s) is/are followed in all the number-pairs except one. Find that odd number-pair. [SSC CGL 25/07/2023 (1st shift)]

(a) 128 : 8
(b) 288 : 12
(c) 350 : 15
(d) 18 : 3

Correct Answer: (c) 350 : 15
Note:

Logic:
(Second number)² × 2 = First number

128 : 8
(8)² × 2 = (64) × 2 = 128

288 : 12 → (12)² × 2 = (144) × 2 = 288
18 : 3 → (3)² × 2 = (9) × 2 = 18

But,
350 : 15
(15)² × 2 = (225) × 2 = 450 (Not 350)

5. 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 25/07/2023 (2nd shift)]

169 : 14 :: ? : 16 :: 289 : 18

(a) 205
(b) 230
(c) 225
(d) 125

Correct Answer: (c) 225
Note:

Logic:
(Second number - 1)² = First number

169 : 14 → (14 - 1)² = (13)² = 169
289 : 18 → (18 - 1)² = (17)² = 289
Similarly, ? : 16 → (16 - 1)² = (15)² = 225

6. The second number in the given number-pairs is obtained by performing certain mathematical operation(s) on the first number. The same operation(s) is/are followed in all the number-pairs except one. Find that odd number-pair. [SSC CGL 25/07/2023 (2nd shift)]

(a) 2 : 9
(b) 6 : 21
(c) 10 : 33
(d) 8 : 29

Correct Answer: (d) 8 : 29
Note:

Logic:
(First number) × 3 + 3 = Second number

2 : 9 → (2) × 3 + 3 = 6 + 3 = 9
6 : 21 → (6) × 3 + 3 = 18 + 3 = 21
10 : 33 → (10) × 3 + 3 = 30 + 3 = 33
But,
8 : 29 → (8) × 3 + 3 = 24 + 3 = 27 (Not 29)

7. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets. [SSC CGL 25/07/2023 (2nd shift)]

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

(2, 7, 27)
(6, 15, 63)

(a) (3, 21, 24)
(b) (9, 8, 50)
(c) (12, 4, 40)
(d) (8, 8, 48)

Correct Answer: (d) (8, 8, 48)
Note:

Logic:
(First number + Second number) × 3 = Third number

(2, 7, 27) → (2 + 7) × 3 = (9) × 3 = 27
(6, 15, 63) → (6 + 15) × 3 = (21) × 3 = 63
Similarly,
(8, 8, 48) → (8 + 8) × 3 = (16) × 3 = 48

8. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the number of the given set. [SSC CGL 25/07/2023 (3rd shift)]

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

(25, 150, 3)

(18, 180, 5)

(a) (13, 39, 3)
(b) (101, 408, 2)
(c) (52, 728, 7)
(d) (61, 601, 5)

Correct Answer: (c) (52, 728, 7)
Note:

Logic:
(First number × Third number) × 2 = Second number

(25, 150, 3) → (25 × 3) × 2 = (75) × 2 = 150
(18, 180, 5) → (18 × 5) × 2 = (90) × 2 = 180
Similarly, (52, 728, 7) → (52 × 7) × 2 = (364) × 2 = 728

9. 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. [SSC CGL 25/07/2023 (3rd shift)]

7 : 35 :: 21 : 399 :: 4 : ?

(a) 24
(b) 20
(c) 8
(d) 12

Correct Answer: (c) 8
Note:

Logic:
(First number)² - (First number × 2) = Second number

7 : 35 → (7)² - (7 × 2) = 49 - 14 = 35
21 : 399 → (21)² - (21 × 2) = (441) - 42 = 399
Similarly, 4 : ? → (4)² - (4 × 2) = 16 - 8 = 8

10. 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. [SSC CGL 25/07/2023 (3rd shift)]

7 : 47 :: 11 : 119 :: 3 : ?

(a) 14
(b) 15
(c) 11
(d) 7

Correct Answer: (d) 7
Note:

Logic:
(First number)² - 2 = Second number

7 : 47 → (7)² - 2 = 49 - 2 = 47
11 : 119 → (11)² - 2 = (121) - 2 = 119
Similarly,
3 : 7 → (3)² - 2 = (9) - 2 = 7
