1. Select the word-pair that best represents a similar relationship to the one expressed in the pair of words given below. [SSC CPO 09/11/2022 (Morning)]

(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)

Lend : Borrow

(a) Happy : Joyous
(b) Stern : Strict
(c) Exciting : Boring
(d) Sharp : Edged

Correct Answer: (c) Exciting : Boring

(a) 99
(b) 110
(c) 88
(d) 96

Correct Answer: (d) 96

Solution:Logic: (n : n² - 4)
(6 : 32) → (6 : 6² - 4)
(11 : 117) → (11 : 11² - 4)
Similarly,
(10 : 96) → (10 : 10² - 4)

5. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following set. [SSC CPO 09/11/2022 (Morning)]

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

(23, 308, 15)
(18, 187, 12)

(a) (14, 104, 9)
(b) (19, 325, 27)
(c) (20, 280, 14)
(d) (16, 122, 7)

Correct Answer: (a) (14, 104, 9)

Solution:Logic: (1st num - 1) × (3rd num - 1) → 2nd num
(23, 308, 15) → (23 - 1) × (15 - 1)
= 22 × 14 = 308
(18, 187, 12) → (18 - 1) × (12 - 1)
= 17 × 11 = 187
Similarly,
(14, 104, 9) → (14 - 1) × (9 - 1)
= 13 × 8 = 104

6. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets. [SSC CPO 09/11/2022 (Morning)]

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

(17, 12, 612)
(6, 14, 252)

(a) (3, 6, 108)
(b) (11, 4, 144)
(c) (13, 7, 273)
(d) (2, 3, 12)

Correct Answer: (c) (13, 7, 273)

Solution:Logic: (1st number × 2nd number × 3) → 3rd number
(17, 12, 612) → (17 × 12 × 3) = 612
(6, 14, 252) → (6 × 14 × 3) = 252
Similarly, (13, 7, 273) → (13 × 7 × 3) = 273

7. Select the option that is related to the third term in the same way as the second term is related to the first term and sixth term is related to fifth term. [SSC CPO 09/11/2022 (Evening)]

3 : 8 :: 6 : ? :: 11 : 1000

(a) 216
(b) 512
(c) 125
(d) 729

Correct Answer: (c) 125

Solution: Logic: a : (a - 1)³
(3 : 8) → 3 : (3 - 1)³ = 8
(11 : 1000) → 11 : (11 - 1)³ = 1000
Similarly, (6 : 125) → 6 : (6 - 1)³ = 125

8. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following set. [SSC CPO 09/11/2022 (Evening)]

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

(39, 81, 123)
(56, 32, 8)

(a) (61, 57, 53)
(b) (42, 33, 15)
(c) (97, 63, 38)
(d) (24, 35, 31)

Correct Answer: (a) (61, 57, 53)

Solution:Logic: |(1st number - 2nd number)| = |(2nd number - 3rd number)|
In (39, 81, 123) → |(39 - 81)| = |(81 - 123)|
⇒ 42 = 42
In (56, 32, 8) → |(56 - 32)| = |(32 - 8)|
⇒ 24 = 24
Similarly,
In (61, 57, 53) → |(61 - 57)| = |(57 - 53)|
⇒ 4 = 4

9. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the given sets. [SSC CPO 09/11/2022 (Evening)]

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

(11, 10, 21)
(14, 6, 160)

(a) (16, 9, 165)
(b) (19, 12, 217)
(c) (81, 16, 65)
(d) (27, 18, 9)

Correct Answer: (b) (19, 12, 217)

Solution:Logic: (1st number + 2nd number) × (1st number - 2nd number) → 3rd number
In (11, 10, 21) → (11 + 10) × (11 - 10)
= 21 × 1 = 21
In (14, 6, 160): (14 + 6) × (14 - 6)

20 × 8 = 160
Similarly,
In (19, 12, 217) :- (19 + 12) × (19 - 12)
= 31 × 7 = 217

10. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets. [SSC CPO 10/11/2022 (Morning)]

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

(6, 12, 228)
(8, 3, 515)

(a) (3, 28, 56)
(b) (13, 11, 172)
(c) (4, 18, 82)
(d) (9, 23, 119)

Correct Answer: (c) (4, 18, 82)

Solution: Logic :- (1st num)³ + 2nd num = 3rd num.
(6, 12, 228) → (6)³ + 12 = 228
(8, 3, 515) → (8)³ + 3 = 515
Similarly, (4, 18, 82) → (4)³ + 18 = 82
