1. If (96 C 3) = 32 and (288 C 8) = 36, then (408 C 6) = ? [S.S.C CHSL 09/03/2023 (1st Shift)]

Correct Answer: (c) 68
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

C should be replaced with “÷” sign.

(96 C 3) → 96 ÷ 3 = 32

(288 C 8) → 288 ÷ 8 = 36

Similarly,

(408 C 6) → 408 ÷ 6 = 68

Hence, "68" is the correct answer.

2. Words given on the left side of (::) are related with each other by some Logic/Rule/Relation. Select the missing word/word pair on the right side of (::) from the given alternatives based on the same Logic/Rule/Relation. [S.S.C CHSL 09/03/2023 (1st Shift)]

Design : Architect :: ?

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

As architects make designs

Similarly,

Carpenters make furniture.

Hence, "Furniture : Carpenter" is the correct answer.

3. Select the option that is related to the third number in the same way as the first number is related to the second number and fifth number is related to the sixth number. [S.S.C CHSL 09/03/2023 (1st Shift)]

14 : 210 :: 13 : ? :: 16 : 272

Correct Answer: (b) 182
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

{(1st number)² + 1st number} = 2nd number

(14 : 210) → 14² + 14 ⇒ 196 + 14 = 210

(16 : 272) → 16² + 16 ⇒ 256 + 16 = 272

Similarly,

(13 : ?) → 13² + 13 ⇒ 169 + 13 = 182

Hence, "182" is the correct answer.

4. Words given on the left side of (::) are related with each other by some Logic/Rule/Relation. Select the missing word/word pair on the right side of (::) from the given alternatives based on the same Logic/Rule/Relation. [S.S.C CHSL 09/03/2023 (1st Shift)]

Tea : Cup :: ?

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

As tea is served in a cup

Similarly,

Food is served in a plate.

Hence, "Food : Plate" is the correct answer.

5. Words given on the left side of (::) are related with each other by some Logic/Rule/Relation. Select the missing word/word pair on the right side of (::) from the given alternatives based on the same Logic/Rule/Relation. [S.S.C CHSL 09/03/2023 (1st Shift)]

Pen : Author :: Axe : ?

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

The pen is used by the author

Similarly,

The axe is used by woodcutter.

Hence, "Woodcutter" is the correct answer.

6. If (14 A 13 A 3) = 30 and (39 A 14 A 3) = 56, then (28 A 11 A 4) = ? [S.S.C CHSL 09/03/2023 (2nd Shift)]

Correct Answer: (d) 43
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

On putting A = +

All equations satisfy.

(14 A 13 A 3) → 14 + 13 + 3 = 30

(39 A 14 A 3) → 39 + 14 + 3 = 56

Similarly,

(28 A 11 A 4) → 28 + 11 + 4 = 43

Hence, "43" is the correct answer.

7. Words given on the left side of (::) are related with each other by some Logic/Rule/Relation. Select the missing word/word pair on the right side of (::) from the given alternatives based on the same Logic/Rule/Relation. [S.S.C CHSL 09/03/2023 (2nd Shift)]

Aquarium : Fish :: ?

Correct Answer: (a) Hive : Honeybee
Solution:The logic followed here is :

As fish lives in the aquarium

Similarly,

Honey bees live in a hive.

Hence, "Hive : Honeybee" is the correct answer.

8. Select the option that is related to the sixth number in the same way as the first number is related to the second number and the third number is related to the fourth number. [S.S.C CHSL 09/03/2023 (2nd Shift)]

11 : 81 :: 22 : 400 :: ? : 225

Correct Answer: (c) 17
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number - 2)² = 2nd number

(11 : 81) → (11 - 2)² ⇒ 9² = 81

(22 : 400) → (22 - 2)² ⇒ 20² = 400

Similarly,

(x : 225) → (x - 2)² = 225

⇒ x² - 4x + 4 = 225

⇒ x² - 4x - 221 = 0

⇒ x² + 13x - 17x - 221 = 0

⇒ x(x + 13) - 17(x + 13) = 0

⇒ (x + 13) (x - 17) = 0

x = - 13 or x = 17

Hence, "17" is the correct answer.

9. Words given on the left side of (::) are related with each other by some Logic/Rule/Relation. Select the missing word/word pair on the right side of (::) from the given alternatives based on the same Logic/Rule/Relation. [S.S.C CHSL 09/03/2023 (2nd Shift)]

Dog : Four :: Parrot : ?

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

As Dog has four legs

Similarly,

Parrot has two legs.

Hence, "Two" is the correct answer.

10. Words given on the left side of (::) are related with each other by some Logic/Rule/Relation. Select the missing word/word pair on the right side of (::) from the given alternatives based on the same Logic/Rule/Relation. [S.S.C CHSL 09/03/2023 (2nd Shift)]

Editor : Newspaper :: ?

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

Just as the editor works in the newspaper

Similarly,

A farmer works in the crops.

Hence, "Farmer : Crop" is the correct answer.
