21. 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 17/07/2023 (2nd shift)]

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

(85, 24, 133)

(97, 36, 145)

Correct Answer: (a) (79, 18, 127)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number - 2nd number) = 61 & (3rd number - 2nd number) = 109

(85, 24, 133) → (85 - 24) = 61 & (133 - 24) = 109

(97, 36, 145) → (97 - 36) = 61 & (145 - 36) = 109

Similarly,

(79, 18, 127) → (79 - 18) = 61 & (127 - 18) = 109

Hence, "(79, 18, 127)" is the correct answer.

22. 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 17/07/2023 (2nd shift)]

BULL : CDVWMNMN :: SHOT : TUIJPQUV :: TENS : ?

Correct Answer: (a) UVFGOPTU
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

Hence, "UVFGOPTU" is the correct answer.

23. 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 17/07/2023 (2nd shift)]

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

(4, 5, 83)

(5, 5, 102)

Correct Answer: (d) (8, 3, 123)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

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

(4, 5, 83) → (4 + 5)² + 2 ⇒ 9² + 2 ⇒ 81 + 2 = 83

(5, 5, 102) → (5 + 5)² + 2 ⇒ 10² + 2 ⇒ 100 + 2 = 102

Similarly,

(8, 3, 123) → (8 + 3)² + 2 ⇒ 11² + 2 ⇒ 121 + 2 = 123

Hence, "(8, 3, 123)" is the correct answer.

24. Select the option that is related to the fifth letter-cluster in the same way as the second letter-cluster is related to the fourth letter-cluster and the fourth letter-cluster is related to the third letter-cluster. [S.S.C CGL 17/07/2023 (2nd shift)]

RJN : OLU :: DHL : MJG :: VKC : ?

Correct Answer: (a) DMY
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

Hence, "DMY" is the correct answer.

25. 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 17/07/2023 (3rd shift)]

6 : 646 :: 5 : ? :: 4 : 190

Correct Answer: (a) 373
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

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

(6 : 646) → {(6³ × 3) - 2} ⇒ {(216 × 3) - 2} ⇒ 648 - 2 = 646

(4 : 190) → {(4³ × 3) - 2} ⇒ {(64 × 3) - 2} ⇒ 192 - 2 = 190

Similarly,

(5 : ?) → {(5³ × 3) - 2} ⇒ {(125 × 3) - 2} ⇒ 375 - 2 = 373

Hence, "373" is the correct answer.

26. 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 17/07/2023 (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.)

Hands : Mittens :: Feet : ?

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

As mittens are worn in hands

Similarly,

Socks are worn in feet.

Hence, "Socks" is the correct answer.

27. 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 17/07/2023 (4th shift)]

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

(44, 63, 98)

(59, 99, 149)

Correct Answer: (a) (81, 15, 87)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number + 2nd number) - 9 = 3rd number

(44, 63, 98) → {(44 + 63) - 9} ⇒ 107 - 9 = 98

(59, 99, 149) → {(59 + 99) - 9} ⇒ 158 - 9 = 149

Similarly,

(81, 15, 87) → (81 + 15) - 9 ⇒ 96 - 9 = 87

Hence, "(81, 15, 87)" is the correct answer.

28. 'Blatant' is related to 'open' in the same way as 'Secret' is related to '____'. [S.S.C CGL 17/07/2023 (4th shift)]

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

As ‘Blatant’ is synonym of ‘open’

Similarly,

‘Covert’ is synonym of ‘secret’.

Hence, "Covert" is the correct answer.

29. 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 17/07/2023 (4th shift)]

PLANT : VPCNR :: STOMP : ROQVU :: BOARD : ?

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

Hence, "FTCQD" 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 18/07/2023 (1st shift)]

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

(16, 32, 54)

(29, 58, 80)

Correct Answer: (c) (24, 48, 70)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

1st number × 2 = 2nd number & 2nd number + 22 = 3rd number
(16, 32, 54) → 16 × 2 = 32 & 32 + 22 = 54

(29, 58, 80) → 29 × 2 = 58 & 58 + 22 = 80

Similarly,

(24, 48, 70) → 24 × 2 = 48 & 48 + 22 = 70

Hence, "(24, 48, 70)" is the correct answer.
