31. 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 18/07/2023 (1st shift)]

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

(36, 21, 35)

(43, 19, 53)

Correct Answer: (a) (51, 34, 39)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

[{(1st number - 2nd number) × 2} + 5] = 3rd number

(36, 21, 35) → [{(36 - 21) × 2} + 5] ⇒ {(15 × 2) + 5} ⇒ 30 + 5 = 35
(43, 19, 53) → [{(43 - 19) × 2} + 5] ⇒ {(24 × 2) + 5} ⇒ 48 + 5 = 53

Similarly,

(51, 34, 39) → [{(51 - 34) × 2} + 5] ⇒ {(17 × 2) + 5} ⇒ 34 + 5 = 39

Hence, "(51, 34, 39)" is the correct answer.

32. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets. [SSC CGL 18/07/2023 (1st shift)]

(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits.)
(5, 32, 7)
(4, 30, 14)

Correct Answer: (a) (7, 60, 11)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

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

(5, 32, 7) → (5² + 7) ⇒ 25 + 7 = 32

(4, 30, 14) → (4² + 14) ⇒ 16 + 14 = 30

Similarly,

(7, 60, 11) → (7² + 11) ⇒ 49 + 11 = 60

Hence, "(7, 60, 11)" is the correct answer.

33. 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 18/07/2023 (1st shift)]

BEAUTY : ZVXEJH :: FRAGILE : FNLKFXM :: BEYOND : ?

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

Hence, "EPRCJH" is the correct answer.

34. 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 18/07/2023 (2nd 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.)

Weight : Pounds :: Height : ?

Correct Answer: (b) Metres
Solution:The logic followed here is :

As Pounds is the unit of measurement of Weight

Similarly,

Metres is the unit of measurement of Height.

35. 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 18/07/2023 (2nd shift)]

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

(8, 388, 18)

(11, 137, 4)

Correct Answer: (d) (14, 221, 5)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

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

(8, 388, 18) → (8)² + (18)² ⇒ 64 + 324 = 388

(11, 137, 4) → (11)² + (4)² ⇒ 121 +16 = 137

Similarly,

(14, 221, 5) → (14)² + (5)² ⇒ 196 + 25 = 221

Hence, "(14, 221, 5)" is the correct answer.

36. 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 18/07/2023 (2nd shift)]

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

(24, 3, 10)

(144, 9, 18)

Correct Answer: (d) (133, 7, 21)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

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

(24, 3, 10) → (24 ÷ 3) + 2 ⇒ 8 + 2 = 10

(144, 9, 18) → (144 ÷ 9) + 2 ⇒ 16 + 2 = 18

Similarly,

(133, 7, 21) → (133 ÷ 7) + 2 ⇒ 19 + 2 = 21

Hence, "(133, 7, 21)" is the correct answer.

37. 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 18/07/2023 (2nd shift)]

FUELED : DXBOAG :: GELATO : EHIDPR :: HEARTY : ?

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

Hence, "FHXUPB" is the correct answer.

38. 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 18/07/2023 (3rd shift)]

17 : 189 :: 13 : 69 :: 18 : ?

Correct Answer: (a) 224
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number)² - 100 = 2nd number

(17 : 189) → 17² - 100 ⇒ 289 - 100 = 189

(13 : 69) → (13)² - 100 ⇒ 169 - 100 = 69

Similarly,

(18 : ?) → (18)² - 100 ⇒ 324 - 100 = 224

Hence, "224" is the correct answer.

39. 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 (3rd shift)]

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

(12, 40, 14)

(15, 33, 9)

Correct Answer: (d) (21, 91, 35)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

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

(12, 40, 14) → (40 - 12) ÷ 2 ⇒ 28 ÷ 2 = 14

(15, 33, 9) → (33 - 15) ÷ 2 ⇒ 18 ÷ 2 = 9

Similarly,

(21, 91, 35) → (91 - 21) ÷ 2 ⇒ 70 ÷ 2 = 35

Hence, "(21, 91, 35)" is the correct answer.

40. 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 18/07/2023 (3rd shift)]

BPX : ENB :: KUW : NSA :: FOY : ?

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

Hence, "IMC" is the correct answer.
