11. 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 14/07/2023 (3rd shift)]

864 : 12 :: 1372 : 14 :: 2048 : ?

(a) 16
(b) 12
(c) 18
(d) 14

Correct Answer: (a) 16

Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(2^ndnumber)³ ÷ 2 = 1^stnumber

(864 : 12) → 12³ ÷ 2 ⇒ 1728 ÷ 2 = 864

(1372 : 14) → 14³ ÷ 2 ⇒ 2744 ÷ 2 = 1372

Similarly,

(2048 : x) → (x)³ ÷ 2 = 2048

⇒ x³ = 2048 × 2

⇒ x³ = 4096

⇒ x³ = 16³

⇒ x = 16

Hence, "16" is the correct answer.

12. 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 14/07/2023 (3rd shift)]

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

(82, 35, 78)

(18, 27, 30)

(a) (21, 27, 24)
(b) (15, 36, 38)
(c) (27, 33, 40)
(d) (20, 25, 32)

Correct Answer: (c) (27, 33, 40)

Solution:The pattern followed here is :

[{(3^rdnumber ÷ 2) × 3} - 2^ndnumber] = 1^stnumber

(82, 35, 78) → [{(78 ÷ 2) × 3} - 35] ⇒ {(39 × 3) - 35} ⇒ 117 - 35 = 82

(18, 27, 30) → [{(30 ÷ 2) × 3} - 27] ⇒ {(15 × 3) - 27} ⇒ 45 - 27 = 18

Similarly,
(27, 33, 40) → [{(40 ÷ 2) × 3} - 33] ⇒ {(20 × 3) - 33} ⇒ 60 - 33 = 27

Hence, "(27, 33, 40)" is the correct answer.

13. 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 14/07/2023 (4th shift)]

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

(49, 63, 441)

(7, 14, 14)

(a) (7, 28, 35)
(b) (14, 28, 56)
(c) (7, 14, 45)
(d) (12, 18, 324)

Correct Answer: (b) (14, 28, 56)

Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(3^rdnumber ÷ 1^stnumber) × 7 = 2^ndnumber

(49, 63, 441) → {(441 ÷ 49) × 7} ⇒ 9 × 7 = 63

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

Similarly,

(14, 28, 56) → {(56 ÷ 14) × 7} = 4 × 7 = 28

Hence, "(14, 28, 56)" is the correct answer.

14. 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 14/07/2023 (4th 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.)

Ophthalmology : Eyes :: Dermatology : ?

(a) Nerves
(b) Skin
(c) Bones
(d) Brain

Correct Answer: (b) Skin

Solution:The pattern followed here is :

As ophthalmology is a branch of medicine concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of the disorder of the eye

Similarly,

Dermatology is a branch of medicine concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of the disorder of skin.

Hence, "Skin" is the correct answer.

15. 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 14/07/2023 (4th shift)]

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

(4, 6, 8)

(a) (6, 12, 18)
(b) (8, 12, 16)
(c) (5, 10, 10)
(d) (9, 6, 12)

Correct Answer: (b) (8, 12, 16)

Solution:The pattern followed here is :

[{(1^stnumber + 3^rdnumber) ÷ 2} + 2] = 2^ndnumber

(4, 6, 8) → {(4 + 8) ÷ 2} ⇒ (12 ÷ 2) ⇒ 8

(6, 8, 10) → {(6 + 10) ÷ 2} ⇒ (16 ÷ 2) = 8

Similarly,

(8, 12, 16) → {(8 + 16) ÷ 2} ⇒ (24 ÷ 2) = 12

Hence, "(8, 12, 16)" is the correct answer.

16. 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 14/07/2023 (4th shift)]

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

(15, 20, 4)

(30, 30, 3)

(a) (44, 187, 44)
(b) (30, 190, 15)
(c) (35, 120, 19)
(d) (60, 400, 20)

Correct Answer: (d) (60, 400, 20)

Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(2^ndnumber ÷ 3^rdnumber) × 3 = 1^stnumber

(15, 20, 4) → (20 ÷ 4) × 3 ⇒ 5 × 3 = 15

(30, 30, 3) → (30 ÷ 3) × 3 ⇒ 10 × 3 = 30

Similarly,

(60, 400, 20) → (400 ÷ 20) × 3 ⇒ 20 × 3 = 60

Hence, "(60, 400, 20)" is the correct answer.

132 : 10 :: 42 : 5 :: 272 : ?

(a) 15
(b) 16
(c) 13
(d) 14

Correct Answer: (a) 15

Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(2^ndnumber + 1)² + (2^ndnumber + 1) = 1^stnumber

(132 : 10) → {(10 + 1)² + (10 + 1)} ⇒ (11² + 11) ⇒ 121 + 11 = 132

(42 : 5) → {(5 + 1)² + (5 + 1)} ⇒ (6² + 6) ⇒ 36 + 6 = 42

Similarly,

(272 : 15) → {(15 + 1)² + (15 + 1)} ⇒ (16² + 16) ⇒ 256 + 16 = 272

Hence, "15" is the correct answer.

19. 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 17/07/2023 (1st shift)]

1 : 7 :: 3 : 215 :: 4 : ?

(a) 453
(b) 342
(c) 511
(d) 363

Correct Answer: (c) 511

Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1^stnumber × 2)³ - 1 = 2^ndnumber

(1 : 7) → (1 × 2)³ - 1 ⇒ 8 - 1 = 7

(3 : 215) → (3 × 2)³ - 1 ⇒ 216 - 1 = 215

Similarly,

(4 : ?) → (4 × 2)³ - 1 ⇒ 512 - 1 = 511

Hence, "511" is the correct answer.
