21. 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 26/07/2023 (2nd shift)]

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

(47, 11, 61)

(13, 68, 84)

Correct Answer: (a) (52, 88, 143)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

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

(47, 11, 61) → {(47 + 11) + 3} ⇒ 58 + 3 = 61

(13, 68, 84) → {(13 + 68) + 3} ⇒ 81 + 3 = 84

Similarly,

(52, 88, 143) → {(52 + 88) + 3} ⇒ 140 + 3 = 143

Hence, "(52, 88, 143)" is the correct answer.

22. 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 26/07/2023 (2nd shift)]

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

(2, 9, 85)

(3, 9, 90)

Correct Answer: (b) (7, 9, 130)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

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

(2, 9, 85) → (2² + 9²) ⇒ 4 + 81 = 85

(3, 9, 90) → (3² + 9²) ⇒ 9 + 81 = 90

Similarly,

(7, 9, 130) → (7² + 9²) ⇒ 49 + 81 = 130

Hence, "(7, 9, 130)" is the correct answer.

23. 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)]

SCOOTER : SGWSTIZ :: AEROPLANE : FPDPUUYMJ :: HELICOPTER : ?

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

Hence, "SGWTTIPTNR" is the correct answer.

24. 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 26/07/2023 (3rd shift)]

Energy : Joule

Correct Answer: (d) Current : Ampere
Solution:The logic followed here is :

As Joule is the unit of Energy

Similarly,

Ampere is the unit of Current.

Hence, "Current : Ampere" is the correct answer.

25. 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 (3rd Shift)]

BET : UXM :: SYP : LRI :: HOX : ?

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

Hence, "AHQ" is the correct answer.

26. 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 26/07/2023 (3rd Shift)]

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

(4, 81, 5)

(3, 144, 9)

Correct Answer: (a) (2, 100, 8)
Solution:The Pattern followed here is :

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

(4, 81, 5) → (4 + 5)² ⇒ 9² = 81

(3, 144, 9) → (3 + 9)² ⇒ 12² = 144

Similarly,

(2, 100, 8) → (2 + 8)² ⇒ 10² = 100

Hence, "(2, 100, 8)" is the correct answer.

27. 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 26/07/2023 (3rd Shift)]

17 : 4624 :: ? : 180 :: 13 : 2028

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

(1st number)³ - (1st number)² = 2nd number

(17 : 4624) → (17³ - 17²) ⇒ 4913 - 289 = 4624

(13 : 2028) → (13³ - 13²) ⇒ 2197 - 169 = 2028

Similarly,

(? : 180) → 6³ - 6² = 216 - 36 = 180

Hence, "6" is the correct answer.

28. 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 (4th Shift)]

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

(5, 13, 16)

(4, 11, 14)

Correct Answer: (d) (9, 21, 26)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

{(2nd number - 1st number) × 2} = 3rd number

(5, 13, 16) → {(13 - 5) × 2} ⇒ 8 × 2 = 16

(4, 11, 14) → {(11 - 4) × 2} ⇒ 7 × 2 = 14

But,

(9, 21, 26) → {(21 - 9) × 2} ⇒ 12 × 2 = 24 ≠ 26

Hence, "(9, 21, 26)" is the correct answer.

29. 'Fair' is related to 'Righteous' in the same way as 'Cunning' is related to: [S.S.C CGL 26/07/2023 (4th Shift)]

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

As "fair" is a synonym of "Righteous"

Similarly,

"Cunning" is a synonym of "Deceit"

Hence, "Deceit" is the correct answer.

30. 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 26/07/2023 (4th Shift)]

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

(15, 23, 31)

(33, 41, 49)

Correct Answer: (b) (20, 28, 36)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(2nd number - 1st number) = 8 & 3rd number - 2nd number = 8

(15, 23, 31) → (23 - 15) = 8 & (31 - 23) = 8

(33, 41, 49) → (41 - 33) = 8 & (49 - 41) = 8

Similarly,

(20, 28, 36) → (28 - 20) = 8 & (36 - 28) = 8

Hence, "(20, 28, 36)" is the correct answer.
