11. 20 is related to 30 following a certain logic. Following the same logic, 42 is related to 56. To which of the following is 72 related, following the same logic? [S.S.C CHSL 02/08/2023 (4th Shift)]

Correct Answer: (d) 90
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

Both given numbers in a pair are consecutive multiples of any number.
(20 and 30) → 10 × 2 = 20 & 10 × 3 = 30
(42 and 56) → 14 × 3 = 42 & 14 × 4 = 56
Similarly,
(72 and 90) → 18 × 4 = 72 & 18 × 5 = 90

Hence, 90 is the correct answer.

12. Select the word-pair that best represents a similar relationship to the one expressed in the pair of words given below. [S.S.C CHSL 03/08/2023 (1st 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.)
Begin - Start

Correct Answer: (c) Ban - Forbid
Solution:As the synonym of Begin is Start.

Similarly, the synonym of Ban is Forbid.

13. 24 is related to 75 in a certain way. Following the same logic, 36 is related to 111. To which of the following is 43 related, following the same logic? [S.S.C CHSL 03/08/2023 (1st Shift)]

Correct Answer: (d) 132
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number × 3) + 3 = 2nd number
(24 - 75) → (24 × 3) + 3 ⇒ 72 + 3 = 75
(36 - 111) → (36 × 3) + 3 ⇒ 108 + 3 = 111
Similarly,

(43 - ?) → (43 × 3) + 3 ⇒ 129 + 3 = 132

Hence, 132 is the correct answer.

14. 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 CHSL 03/08/2023 (1st Shift)]

129 : 32 :: 109 : 27 :: 289 : ?

Correct Answer: (c) 72
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(2nd number × 4) + 1 = 1st number
(129 : 32) → (32 × 4) + 1 ⇒ 128 + 1 = 129
(109 : 27) → (27 × 4) + 1 ⇒ 108 + 1 = 109
Similarly,

(289 : 72) → (72 × 4) + 1 ⇒ 288 + 1 = 289

Hence, 72 is the correct answer.

15. AFKQ is related to BELR in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, IQWY is related to JPXZ. To which of the following is CMSU related to following the same logic? [S.S.C CHSL 03/08/2023 (1st Shift)]

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

Hence, DLTV 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 CHSL 03/08/2023 (1st Shift)]

(NOTE :- Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits.)
4 - 12 - 50
7 - 12 - 86

Correct Answer: (b) 6 - 18 - 110
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number × 2nd number) + 2 = 3rd number
(4 - 12 - 50) → (4 × 12) + 2 ⇒ 48 + 2 = 50
(7 - 12 - 86) → (7 × 12) + 2 ⇒ 84 + 2 = 86
Similarly,

(6 - 18 - 110) → (6 × 18) + 2 ⇒ 108 + 2 = 110

Hence, (6 - 18 - 110) is the correct answer.

17. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets. [S.S.C CHSL 03/08/2023 (2nd Shift)]

(NOTE :- Operations should be performed on whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits.)
(162, 9, 18)
(231, 11, 21)

Correct Answer: (a) 336, 28, 12
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(2nd number × 3rd number) = 1st number
(162, 9, 18) → (9 × 18) = 162
(231, 11, 21) → (11 × 21) = 231
Similarly,

(336, 28, 12) → (28 × 12) = 336

Hence, (336, 28, 12) is the correct answer.

18. 125 is related to 50 in a certain way. Following the same logic, 230 is related to 92. To which of the following is 315 related, following the same logic? [S.S.C CHSL 03/08/2023 (2nd Shift)]

Correct Answer: (d) 126
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

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

(125, 50) → (50 × 2) + (50 ÷ 2) ⇒ 100 + 25 = 125
(230, 92) →(92 × 2) + (92 ÷ 2) ⇒ 184 + 46 = 230

Similarly,
(315, 126) → (126 × 2) + (126 ÷ 2) ⇒ 252 + 63 = 315


19. UOKG is related to VPLH in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, KQWY is related to LRXZ. To which of the following is AMSW related to following the same logic? [S.S.C CHSL 03/08/2023 (2nd Shift)]

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

Hence, BNTX is the correct answer.

20. FJMN is related to LPST in a certain way based on a certain relationship between the given letters in the English alphabetical order. In the same way, ADEL is related to GJKR. Which of the given options is DMJN related to following the same logic? [S.S.C CHSL 03/08/2023 (3rd Shift)]
