21. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following set. [SSC 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)
Note:

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

22. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets. [SSC 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)
Note:

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

  • (2, 9, 85)
    → (2)² + (9)² = 4 + 81 = 85
  • (3, 9, 90)
    → (3)² + (9)² = 9 + 81 = 90

Similarly,

  • (7, 9, 130)
    → (7)² + (9)² = 49 + 81 = 130

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. [SSC CGL 26/07/2023 (2nd shift)]

 

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

Correct Answer: (b) SGWTTIPTNR
Note:

24. Select the word-pair that best represents a similar relationship to the one expressed in the pair of words given below. [SSC CGL 26/07/2023 (3rd shift)]

 

Energy : Joule

Correct Answer: (d) Current: Ampere
Note:

As Joule is the unit of Energy, similarly, Ampere is the unit of Current.

 

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. [SSC CGL 26/07/2023 (3rd Shift)]

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

Correct Answer: (b) AHQ
Note:

26. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the given set. [SSC 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)
Note:

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

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. [SSC CGL 26/07/2023 (3rd Shift)]

 

  • 17 : 4624 :: 2 : 180 :: 13 : 2028
Correct Answer: (c) 6
Note:

Logic:
(First number)³ - (First number)² = Second number

  • 17 : 4624
    → 17³ - 17² = 4913 - 289 = 4624
  • 13 : 2028
    → 13³ - 13² = 2197 - 169 = 2028

Similarly,

  • ? : 180
    → 6³ - 6² = 216 - 36 = 180

28. Select the set in which the numbers are NOT related in the same way as are the numbers of the following set. [SSC 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)
Note:

Logic:
(Second number - First number) × 2 = Third 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 (not 26)

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

Correct Answer: (c) Deceit
Note:

As "fair" is a synonym of "Righteous," similarly, "Cunning" is a synonym of "Deceit."

 

30. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the given sets. [SSC 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)
Note:

Logic:
(Second number - First number) = 8 and (Third number - Second 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
