21. Select the word-pair that best represents a similar relationship to the one expressed in the pair of words given below. [SSC 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:As physiology is the study of the human body the same way petrology is the study of Rocks.

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

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

(241, 230, 189)
(218, 250, 232)

Correct Answer: (c) (276, 260, 184)
Solution:Logic :- (First number + Third Number) - 200 = Second number
(241, 230, 189) → (241 + 189) - 200 = 430 - 200 = 230
(218, 250, 232) → (218 + 232) - 200 = 450 - 200 = 250
Similarly
(276, 260,184) → (276 + 184) - 200 = 460 - 200 = 260
Hence the correct answer is 260.

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

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

(27, 21, 16)
(24, 33, 19)

Correct Answer: (b) (36, 15, 17)
Solution:Logic :-
(First Number + Second Number) ÷ 3 = Third Number
(27, 21, 16) → (27 + 21) ÷ 3 = 16
(24, 33, 19) → (24 + 33) ÷ 3 = 19
Similarly,
(36, 15, 17) → (36 + 15) ÷ 3 = 17

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

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

(2, 3, 35)
(11, 6, 1547)

Correct Answer: (a) (4, 15, 3439)
Solution:Logic :- [(first num)^3 + (second num)^3 = (third num)]
(2, 3, 35) → (2)^3 + (3)^3 = 35
(11, 6, 1547) → (11)^3 + (6)^3 = 1547
Similarly,
(4, 15, 3439) → (4)^3 + (15)^3 = 3439

25. 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. [SSC CPO 11/11/2022 (Evening)]

273 : 21 :: 221 : ? :: 364 : 28

Correct Answer: (d) 17
Solution:273 ÷ 13 = 21
364 ÷ 13 = 28
Similarly, 221 ÷ 13 = 17

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

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

(12, 125, 17)
(8, 27, 11)

Correct Answer: (b) (19, 216, 25)
Solution:(12, 125, 17) ; (third no - first no)³ = (17 - 12)³ = 5³ = 125
(8, 27, 11) ; (third no - first no)³ = (11 - 8)³ = 3³ = 27
Similarly, (19, 216, 25) ; (third no - first no)³ = (25 - 19)³ = 6³ = 216

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

E25I : A5E :: Z4G? : V7P :: P14AK : ?

Correct Answer: (b) L12G
Solution:E 25 I : A 5 E = (E - 4 = A, √25 = 5, I - 4 = E)
Z 49 T : V 7 P = (Z - 4 = V, √49 = 7, T - 4 = P)

Similarly, P 144 K : ? = (P - 4 = L, √144 = 12, K - 4 = G)
So, ? → L  12  G
