21. 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 04/10/2023 (3rd 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.)

Alas : woe :: Beauty : ?

Correct Answer: (b) Charm
Solution:As Alas is the synonym of Woe

Similarly, Beauty is the synonym of Charm.

22. 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. [S.S.C CPO 04/10/2023 (3rd Shift)]

2 : 26 :: ? : 152 :: 27 : 1026

Correct Answer: (a) 8
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

1st number × (1st number + 11) = 2nd number
(2 : 26) → 2 × (2 + 11) ⇒ 2 × 13 = 26
(27 : 1026) → 27 × (27 + 11) ⇒ 27 × 38 = 1026
Similarly,
(8 : 152) → 8 × (8 + 11) ⇒ 8 × 19 = 152

Hence, 8 is the correct answer.

23. 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 term is related to the sixth term. [S.S.C CPO 04/10/2023 (3rd Shift]

5 : 24 :: ? : 143 :: 4 : 15

Correct Answer: (c) 12
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number)² - 1 = 2nd number
(5 : 24) → 5² - 1 = 24
(4 : 15) → 4² - 1 = 15
Similarly,
(12 : 143) → (12)² - 1 = 143

Hence, 12 is the correct answer.

24. 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 04/10/2023 (3rd 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, 18, 21)
(11, 25, 8)

Correct Answer: (a) (14, 33, 9)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number) × 3 = (2nd number + 3rd number)
(13, 18, 21) → 13 × 3 = (18 + 21) = 39
(11, 25, 8) → 11 × 3 = (25 + 8) = 33
Similarly,
(14, 33, 9) → 14 × 3 = (33 + 9) = 42

Hence, (14, 33, 9) is the correct answer.

25. Select the option which is related to the third word in the same way as the second word is related to the first word. [S.S.C CPO 05/10/2023 (1st Shift)]

(The words should be treated as meaningful words, and should not be associated with each other on the basis of number of letters/number of consonants/number of vowels in the word.)
Pedal : Bicycle :: Oar : ?

Correct Answer: (c) Canoe
Solution:Pedal is used to ride a bicycle.

Similarly, oar is used to ride a canoe.

26. Select the option which is related to the third word in the same way as the second word is related to the first word. [S.S.C CPO 05/10/2023 (1st Shift)]

(The words should be treated as meaningful words, and should not be related to each other on the basis of the number of letters/consonants/vowels in the word.)
Yearn : Crave :: Haste : ?

Correct Answer: (a) Alacrity
Solution:As yearn and crave have same meanings,

Similarly, Haste and Alacrity have same meanings.

27. 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 05/10/2023 (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, 52), (9, 84)

Correct Answer: (d) (13, 172)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number)² + 3 = 2nd number
(7, 52) → 7² + 3 ⇒ 49 + 3 = 52
(9, 84) → 9² + 3 ⇒ 81 + 3 = 84
Similarly,
(13, 172) → (13)² + 3 ⇒ 169 + 3 = 172

Hence, (13, 172) is the correct answer.

28. 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 05/10/2023 (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.)

Correct Answer: (d) Ravage
Solution:As Pamper is the synonym of Gratify

Similarly, Devour is the synonym of Ravage.

29. 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 05/10/2023 (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.)

30. 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 05/10/2023 (2nd Shift)]

98 : 115 :: 74 : ? :: 67 : 84

Correct Answer: (a) 91
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(2nd number - 1st number) = 17
(98 : 115) → (115 - 98) = 17
(67 : 84) → (84 - 67) = 17
Similarly,
(74 : 91) → (91 - 74) = 17

Hence, 91 is the correct answer.
