Analogy (SSC CPO 2023 Tier 1)

1. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets. [SSC CPO 03/10/2023 (1st Shift)]

(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g. 13- Operations on 13 such as adding /subtracting /multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)
(7, 91, 98)
(4, 52, 56)

(a) (8, 80, 96)
(b) (12, 156, 168)
(c) (3, 36, 42)
(d) (5, 25, 60)

Correct Answer: (b) (12, 156, 168)
Note:

Logic: 1st number + 2nd number = 3rd number

(7, 91, 98) :- (7 + 91) = 98
(4, 52, 56) :- (4 + 52) = 56
Similarly,
(12, 156, 168) :- (12 + 156) = 168

2. Select the option that is related to the third word in the same way as the second word is related to the first word. [SSC CPO 03/10/2023 (1st Shift)]

(The words must be considered as meaningful words and must not be related to each other based on the number of letters/number of consonants/vowels in the word.)

Note:

4. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets. [SSC CPO 03/10/2023 (1st Shift)]

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

(264, 462), (132, 330)

(a) (211, 340)
(b) (188, 378)
(c) (282, 496)
(d) (386, 584)

Correct Answer: (d) (386, 584)
Note:

Logic: (2nd number - 1st number) = 198
(264, 462) :- (462 - 264) = 198
(132, 330) :- (330 - 132) = 198
Similarly,
(386, 584) :- (584 - 386) = 198

5. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets. [SSC CPO 03/10/2023 (2nd Shift)]

(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding /subtracting /multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is NOT allowed)
(13, 104, 16)
(9, 63, 14)

(a) (23, 204, 26)
(b) (12, 85, 15)
(c) (10, 92, 17)
(d) (8, 60, 15)

Correct Answer: (d) (8, 60, 15)
Note:

Logic: (1st no. × 3rd no.) ÷ 2 = 2nd no.
(13, 104, 16) :- (13 × 16) ÷ 2 ⇒ 208 ÷ 2 = 104
(9, 63, 14) :- (9 × 14) ÷ 2 ⇒ 126 ÷ 2 = 63
Similarly,
(8, 60, 15) :- (8 × 15) ÷ 2 ⇒ 120 ÷ 2 = 60

6. Select the option that is related to the third word in the same way as the second word is related to the first word. [SSC CPO 03/10/2023 (2nd Shift)]

(The words must be considered as meaningful words and must not be related to each other based on the number of letters/number of consonants/vowels in the word.)
Nun : Convent :: King : ?

(a) Cottage
(b) Palace
(c) Monastery
(d) Prison

Correct Answer: (b) Palace
Note:

As Nun lives in convent, similarly King lives in Palace.

7. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets. [SSC CPO 03/10/2023 (2nd Shift)]

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

(15, 21, 66)
(9, 17, 44)

(a) (7, 9, 86)
(b) (2, 4, 12)
(c) (11, 13, 33)
(d) (5, 37, 52)

Correct Answer: (d) (5, 37, 52)
Note:

Logic: (3rd number - 2nd number) ÷ 3 = 1st number
(15, 21, 66) :- (66 - 21) ÷ 3 = (45) ÷ 3 = 15
(9, 17, 44) :- (44 - 17) ÷ 3 = (27) ÷ 3 = 9
Similarly,
(5, 37, 52) :- (52 - 37) ÷ 3 = (15) ÷ 3 = 5

8. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following set. [SSC CPO 03/10/2023 (2nd Shift)]

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

(c) (3, 4, 45)
(d) (6, 13, 234)

Correct Answer: (a) (10, 5, 100)
Note:

Logic: (1st no. × 2nd no. × 2) = 3rd no.
(25, 3, 150) :- (25 × 3 × 2) = 150
(13, 7, 182) :- (13 × 7 × 2) = 182
Similarly
(10, 5, 100) :- (10 × 5 × 2) = 100

9. Select the option that is related to the fourth term in the same way as the first term is related to the second term and the fifth term is related to the sixth term. [SSC CPO 03/10/2023 (3rd Shift)]

5 : 21 :: ? : 252 :: 27 : 725

(a) 12
(b) 16
(c) 26
(d) 10

Correct Answer: (b) 16
Note:

Logic: (1st no.)² - 4 = 2nd no.
5 : 21 :- (5)² - 4 = 25 - 4 = 21
27 : 725 :- (27)² - 4 = 729 - 4 = 725
Similarly,

16 : 252 :- (16)² - 4 = 256 - 4 = 252

10. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following set. [SSC CPO 03/10/2023 (3rd Shift)]

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

(a) (4, 1, 125)
(b) (5, 8, 789)
(c) (4, 5, 850)
(d) (3, 2, 145)

Correct Answer: (a) (4, 1, 125)
Note:

Logic: (1st no. + 2nd no.)² × 5 = 3rd no.
(5, 4, 405) :- (5 + 4)² × 5 = 81 × 5 = 405
(7, 3, 500) :- (7 + 3)² × 5 = 100 × 5 = 500
Similarly,
(4, 1, 125) :- (4 + 1)² × 5 = 25 × 5 = 125
