11. 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 25/07/2023 (3rd 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.)

Cow : Milk :: Sheep : ?

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

As a Cow gives milk

Similarly,

GIST : FEHGRQSR :: DUCK : CBTSBAJI :: LOPE : ?

Correct Answer: (a) KJNMONDC

Hence, "KJNMONDC" is the correct answer.

14. 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 25/07/2023 (4th Shift)]

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

(10, 5, 52)

(35, 7, 250)

Correct Answer: (a) (8, 4, 34)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

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

(10, 5, 52) → {(10 × 5) + (10 ÷ 5)} ⇒ 50 + 2 = 52

(35, 7, 250) → {(35 × 7) + (35 ÷ 7)} ⇒ 245 + 5 = 250

Similarly,

(8, 4, 34) → {(8 × 4) + (8 ÷ 4)} = 32 + 2 = 34

Hence, "(8, 4, 34)" is the correct answer.

15. 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 25/07/2023 (4th Shift)]

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

(4, 14, 56)

(6, 15, 90)

Correct Answer: (d) (7, 16, 112)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

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

(4, 14, 56) → 56 ÷ 4 = 14

(6, 15, 90) → 90 ÷ 6 = 15

Similarly,

(7, 16, 112) → 112 ÷ 7 = 16

Hence, "(7, 16, 112)" is the correct answer.

16. 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 26/07/2023 (1st Shift)]

5 : 127 :: 9 : ? :: 7 : 247

Correct Answer: (c) 407
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

{(1st number) × (1st number × 5) + 2} = 2nd number

(5 : 127) → {5 × (5 × 5) + 2} ⇒ 125 + 2 = 127

(7 : 247) → {7 × (7 × 5) + 2} ⇒ 245 + 2 = 247

Similarly,

(9 : ?) → {9 × (9 × 5) + 2} ⇒ 405 + 2 = 407

Hence, "407" is the correct answer.

17. 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 26/07/2023 (1st Shift)]

(The words must be considered as meaningful English words and must not be related based on the number of letters, consonants, or vowels in the word.)

X-Ray : Radiologist :: Skin : ?

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

As a Radiologist is a doctor who examines x-rays

Similarly,

A Dermatologist is a doctor who examines the skin.

Hence, "Dermatologist" is the correct answer.

18. Select the word-pair that best represents a similar relationship to the one expressed in the given pair of words. [S.S.C CGL 26/07/2023 (1st Shift)]

(The words must be considered as meaningful English words and not related based on the number of letters, consonants, or vowels in the word.)

Horse : Foal

Correct Answer: (c) Cat : Kitten
Solution:The logic followed here is :

As a child of a horse is called a foal

Similarly,

A child of a cat is called a kitten.

Hence, "(Cat : Kitten)" is the correct answer.

19. 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 26/07/2023 (2nd Shift)]

QIN : XPU :: DSY : KZF :: ALM : ?

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

Hence, "HST" is the correct answer.

20. Select the set in which the numbers are NOT related in the same way as are the numbers of the following set. [S.S.C CGL 26/07/2023 (2nd shift)]

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

(8, 13, 21)

(13, 18, 31)

Correct Answer: (c) (11, 16, 29)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

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

(8, 13, 21) → (8 + 13) = 21

(13, 18, 31) → (13 + 18) = 31

But,

(11, 16, 29) → (11 + 16) = 27

Hence, (11, 26, 29)" is the correct answer.
