Analogy (SSC CPO 2019 Tier 1)

'Greedy' means having or showing an intense and selfish desire for wealth or power. 'Generous' means showing a readiness to give more of something, especially money, than is strictly necessary or expected. Clearly, Greedy is an antonym for generous.

In the same manner,

Vindictive is opposite in meaning to Merciful. 'Vindictive' means having or showing a strong or unreasonable desire for revenge. 'Merciful' means showing or exercising mercy.

Hence, "Merciful" is the correct answer.

(a : b) → 7 : 8 (Simplest form)

(63 : 72) → 7 : 8

Similarly,

(161 : 133) → 7 : 8

Hence, "(161 : 133)" is the correct answer.

The numbers are in ratio 2 : 3

Only other ratio that is in ratio 2 : 3 is 84 : 126.

Hence, "(84 : 126)" is the correct answer.

(a : b) → {(√a + 1)² + 1} = b

(121 : 145) → {(√121 + 1)² + 1} ⇒ {(11 + 1)² + 1} ⇒ 12² + 1 ⇒ 144 + 1 = 145

(49 : 65) → {(√49 + 1)² + 1} ⇒ {(7 + 1)² + 1} ⇒ 8² + 1 ⇒ 64 + 1 = 65

Similarly,

(169 : ?) → {(√169 + 1)² + 1} ⇒ {(13 + 1)² + 1} ⇒ 14² + 1 ⇒ 196 + 1 = 197

Hence, "197" is the correct answer.

(a, b, c) → 5 × a = b & 9 × a = c

(23, 115, 207) → 5 × 23 = 115 & 9 × 23 = 207

Similarly,

(8, 35, 72) → 5 × 8 = 40 ≠ 35 (Not follow) & 9 × 8 = 72

Hence, "(8, 35, 72)" is the correct answer.

(a : b) → Prime number : Next Prime number

Here, Just the next prime number is written in the given pairs.

Next prime number of 7 is 11.

Hence, "11" is the correct answer.

(a : b) → a² - 2 = b

(6 : 34) → 6² - 2 ⇒ 36 - 2 = 34

(8 : 62) → 8² - 2 ⇒ 64 - 2 = 62

(11 : 119) → 11² - 2 ⇒ 121 - 2 = 119

Similarly,

(13 : 167) → 13² - 2 ⇒ 169 - 2 = 167

Hence, "(13 : 167)" is the correct answer.

Ignore odd places and add 3 to even places.

Here,

ATEXXDIBVO after ignoring odd places TXDBO

And adding 3 now

T (+3) → W, X (+3) → A, D (+3) → G

B (+3) → E, O (+3) → R

Hence, "WAGER" is the correct answer.
