41. 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.)

(36, 6, 18)

(35, 5, 21)

Correct Answer: (a) (49, 7, 21)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

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

(36, 6, 18) → (36 ÷ 6) × 3 ⇒ 6 × 3 = 18

(35, 5, 21) → (35 ÷ 5) × 3 ⇒ 7 × 3 = 21

Similarly,

(49, 7, 21) → (49 ÷ 7) × 3 ⇒ 7 × 3 = 21

Hence, "(49, 7, 21)" is the correct answer.

42. Select the option that is related to the fifth term in the same way as the second term is related to the first term and the fourth term is related to the third term. [S.S.C CGL 18/07/2023 (4th shift)]

121 : 10 :: 256 : 15 :: 441 : ?

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

(2nd number + 1)² = 1st number

(121 : 10) → (10 + 1)² ⇒ 11² = 121

(256 : 15) → (15 + 1)² ⇒ 16² = 256

Similarly,

(441 : 2) → (20 + 1)² ⇒ 21² = 441

Hence, "20" is the correct answer.

43. 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 (4th shift)]

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

(168, 35, 143)

(182, 65, 127)

Correct Answer: (a) (142, 83, 69)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number - 2nd number) + 10 = 3rd number

(168, 35, 143) → {(168 - 35) + 10} ⇒ 133 + 10 = 143

(182, 65, 127) → {(182 - 65) + 10} ⇒ 117 + 10 = 127

Similarly,

(142, 83, 69) → {(142 - 83) + 10} ⇒ 59 + 10 = 69

Hence, "(142, 83, 69)" is the correct answer.

44. 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 (4th shift)]

BETTER : EBTTRE :: ANSWER : NAWSRE :: ACCEPT : ?

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

Hence, "CAECTP" is the correct answer.

45. 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 (4th shift)]

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

(9, 26, 53)

(8, 23, 47)

Correct Answer: (a) (5, 14, 29)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

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

(9, 26, 53) → {(9 × 3) - 1} ⇒ 27 - 1 = 26 & {(26 × 2) + 1} ⇒ 52 + 1 = 53

(8, 23, 47) → {(8 × 3) - 1} ⇒ 24 - 1 = 23 & {(23 × 2) + 1 ⇒ 46 + 1 = 47

Similarly,

(5, 14, 29) → {(5 × 3) - 1} ⇒ 15 - 1 = 14 & {(14 × 2) + 1} ⇒ 28 + 1 = 29

Hence, "(5, 14, 29)" is the correct answer.

46. 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 19/07/2023 (1st shift)]

7 : 21 :: 14 : 42 :: 18 : ?

Correct Answer: (b) 54
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number) × 3 = 2nd number

(7 : 21) → 7 × 3 = 21

(14 : 42) → 14 × 3 = 42

Similarly,

(18 : ?) → 18 × 3 = 54

Hence, "54" is the correct answer.

47. 'Wilt' is related to 'Droop' in the same way as 'Thrive' is related to _____. [S.S.C CGL 19/07/2023 (1st shift)]

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

As 'Wilt' is the synonym of 'droop

Similarly,

'Thrive' is the synonym of 'Flourish'.

Hence, "Flourish" is the correct answer.

48. 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 19/07/2023 (1st shift)]

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

(13, 64, 5)

(10, 1, 9)

Correct Answer: (d) (16, 49, 9)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

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

(13, 64, 5) → (13 - 5)² ⇒ 8² = 64

(10, 1, 9) → (10 - 9)² ⇒ 1² = (1)

Similarly,

(16, 49, 9) → (16 - 9)² ⇒ 7² = 49

Hence, "(16, 49, 9)" is the correct answer.

49. 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 19/07/2023 (2nd shift)]

243 : 9 :: 72 : 6 :: 576 : ?

Correct Answer: (a) 12
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(2nd number)² × (2nd number ÷ 3) = 1st number

(243 : 9) → {9² × (9 ÷ 3)} ⇒ 81 × 3 = 243

(72 : 6) → {6² × (6 ÷ 3)} ⇒ 36 × 2 = 72

Similarly,

(576 : ?) → {12² × (12 ÷ 3)} ⇒ 144 × 4 = 576

Hence, "12" is the correct answer.

50. 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 19/07/2023 (2nd shift)]
