11. 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 CPO 10/11/2022 (Morning)]

DUNE : BGSXLQCH :: NEED : LQCHCHBG :: KING : ?

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

Hence, "INGLLQEJ" is the correct answer.

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

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

(23, 25, 16)

(21, 27, 56)

Correct Answer: (c) (18, 15, 81)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → (a - b)⁴ = c

(23, 25, 16) → (23 - 25)⁴ ⇒ (-2)⁴ = 16

(21, 17, 256) → (21 - 17)⁴ ⇒ (4)⁴ = 256

Similarly,

(18, 15, 81) → (18 - 15)⁴ ⇒ (3)⁴ = 81

Hence, "(18, 15, 81)" is the correct answer.

13. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the given sets. [S.S.C CPO 10/11/2022 (Afternoon)]

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

(16, 22, 28)

(14, 19, 23)

Correct Answer: (c) (15, 26, 34)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → {(a + b) - 10} = c

(16, 22, 28) → {(16 + 22) - 10} ⇒ 38 - 10 = 28

(14, 19, 23) → {(14 + 19) - 10} ⇒ 33 - 10 = 23

Similarly,

(15, 26, 31) → {(15 + 26) - 10} ⇒ 41 - 10 = 31

Hence, "(15, 26, 31)" is the correct answer.

14. 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 CPO 10/11/2022 (Afternoon)]

LIST : JNGKQURV :: MOAN : KOMQYCLP :: PLUM : ?

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

Hence, "NRJNSWKO" is the correct answer.

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

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

(7, 13, 10)

(15, 21, 18)

Correct Answer: (c) (11, 15, 13)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → {(a

(7, 13, 10) → {( 7 + 13) ÷ 2} = 10

(15, 21, 18) → {(15 + 21) ÷ 2} = 18

Similarly

(11, 15, 13) → {(11 + 15) ÷ 2} = 13

Hence, "(11, 15, 13)" is the correct answer.

16. Select the word-pair that best represents a similar relationship to the one expressed in the pair of words given below. [S.S.C CPO 10/11/2022 (Evening)]

(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.)

Bird : Nest

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

A bird lives in a nest

Similarly,

A cattle lives in a barn.

Hence, "Cattle : Barn" is the correct answer.

17. 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 the sixth term is related to the fifth term. [S.S.C CPO 10/11/2022 (Evening)]

88.4 : 64 :: 72.8 : ? :: 96.2 : 71.8

Correct Answer: (d) 48.4
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a : b) → a - b = 24.4

(88.4 : 64) → 88.4 - 64 = 24.4

(96.2 : 71.8) → 96.2 - 71.8 = 24.4

Similarly,

(72.8 : ?) → 72.8 - x = 24.4 ⇒ x = 48.4

Hence, "48.4" is the correct answer.

18. Select the option that is related to the third word in the same way as the second word is related to the first word. [S.S.C CPO 10/11/2022 (Evening)]

(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.)

Russia : Ruble :: Myanmar : ?

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

Ruble is the currency of Russia

Similarly,

Kyat is the currency of Myanmar.

Hence, "Kyat" is the correct answer.

19. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the given sets. [S.S.C CPO 10/11/2022 (Evening)]

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

(3, 11, 92)

(4, 8, 264)

Correct Answer: (c) (5, 35, 660)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) → a4 + b = c

(3, 11, 92) → 34 + 11 ⇒ 81 + 11 = 92

(4, 8, 264) → 44 + 8 ⇒ 256 + 8 = 264

Similarly,

(5, 35, 660) → 54 + 35 ⇒ 625 + 35 = 660

Hence, "(5, 35, 660)" is the correct answer.

20. Select the word-pair that best represents a similar relationship to the one expressed in the pair of words given below. [S.S.C CPO 11/11/2022 (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)

Physiology : Human body

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

As physiology is the study of the human body

In the same way,

Petrology is the study of Rocks.

Hence, "Petrology : Rocks" is the correct answer.
