21. 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 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:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) β†’ {(a + c) - 200} = b

(241, 230, 189) β†’ {(241 + 189) - 200} β‡’ 430 - 200 = 230

(218, 250, 232) β†’ {(218 + 232) - 200} β‡’ 450 - 200 = 250

Similarly,

(276, 260,184) β†’ {(276 + 184) - 200} β‡’ 460 - 200 = 260

Hence, "260" isΒ  the correct answer.

22. 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 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:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) β†’ {(a + b) Γ· 3} = c

(27, 21, 16) β†’ {(27 + 21) Γ· 3} β‡’ 58 Γ· 3 = 16

(24, 33, 19) β†’ {(24 + 33) Γ· 3} β‡’ 57 Γ· 3 = 19

Similarly,

(36, 15, 17) β†’ {(36 + 15) Γ· 3} β‡’ 51 Γ· 3 = 17

Hence, "(36, 15, 17)" is the correct answer.

23. 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 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:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) β†’ aΒ³ + bΒ³ = c

(2, 3, 35) β†’ 2Β³ + 3Β³Β  β‡’ 8 + 27 = 35

(11, 6, 1547) β†’ 11Β³ + 6Β³ β‡’ 1331 + 216 = 1547

Similarly,

(4, 15, 3439) β†’ 4Β³ + 15Β³ β‡’ 64 + 3375 = 3439

Hence, "(4, 15, 3439)" is the correct answer.

24. 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 11/11/2022 (Evening)]

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

Correct Answer: (d) 17
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a : b) β†’ a Γ· 13 = b

(273 : 21) β†’ 273 Γ· 13 = 21

(364 : 28) β†’ 364 Γ· 13 = 28

Similarly,

(221 : ?) β†’ 221 Γ· 13 = 17

Hence, "17" is the correct answer.

25. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following set. [S.S.C 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:The pattern followed here is :

(a, b, c) β†’ (c - a)Β³ = b

(12, 125, 17) β†’ (17 - 12)Β³ β‡’ 5Β³ = 125

(8, 27, 11) β†’ (11 - 8)Β³ β‡’ 3Β³ = 27

Similarly,

(19, 216, 25) β†’ (25 - 19)Β³ β‡’ 6Β³ = 216

Hence, "(19, 216, 25)" is the correct answer.

26. 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 [S.S.C CPO 11/11/2022 (Evening)]

E 25 I : A 5 E :: Z 49 T : V 7 P :: P 144 K : ?

Correct Answer: (b) L 12 G
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(E 25 I : A 5 E) β†’ (E - 4 = A), (√25 = 5), (I - 4 = E)

(Z 49 T : V 7 P) β†’ (Z - 4 = V), (√49 = 7), (T - 4 = P)

Similarly,

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

Hence, "L 12 G" is the correct answer.
