1. 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 MTS 05/07/2022 (Afternoon)]

P 16 : R 18 :: I 9 : K 11 :: T 20 : ?

Correct Answer: (a) V 22
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(P 16 : R 18) → P + 2 = R and place value of P is 16 and R is 18.

(I 9 : K 11) → I + 2 = K and place value of I is 9 and K is 11.

Similarly,

(T 20 : ?) → T + 2 = V and place value of T is 20 and V is 22.

Hence, "V 22" is the correct answer.

2. Select the option that is related to the fifth number in the same way as the second number is related to the first number and the fourth number is related to the third number. [S.S.C MTS 06/07/2022 (Evening)]

24 : 36 :: 38 : 57 :: 58 : ?

Correct Answer: (d) 87
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a : b) → 2 : 3

(24 : 36) → (12 × 2) : (12 × 3) = 24 : 36

(38 : 57) → (19 × 2) : (19 × 3) = 38 : 57

Similarly,

(58 : 87) → (29 × 2) : (29 × 3) = 58 : 87

Hence, "87" is the correct answer.

3. Select the option that is related to the fifth word in the same way as the second word is related to the first word and the fourth word is related to the third word. [S.S.C MTS 06/07/2022 (Evening)]

Retina : Eye :: Pons : Brain :: Cochlea : ?

Correct Answer: (b) Ear
Solution:The logic followed here is :

Retina is a part of Eye and Pons is a part of Brain.

Similarly,

Cochlea is a part of Ear.

Hence, "Ear" is the correct answer.

4. 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 MTS 07/07/2022 (Afternoon)]

ACT : KCD :: EAR : OAB :: EYE : ?

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

A + 10 = K & Middle alphabet is same & T + 10 = D

E + 10 = O & Middle alphabet is same & R + 10 = B

E + 10 = O & middle alphabet is same & E + 10 = O

Hence, "OYO" is the correct answer.

5. Select the option that is related to the third letter-cluster in the same way as the second letter-cluster is related to the first letter-cluster. [S.S.C MTS 08/07/2022 (Afternoon)]

KING : HFKD :: FRKM : ?

Hence, "COHJ" is the correct answer.

6. 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 MTS 08/07/2022 (Afternoon)]

U144 : S121 :: N100 : L81 :: G64 : ?

Correct Answer: (a) E49
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(U144 : S121) → U - 2 = S and 144 → (12)² : (12 - 1)² ⇒ (11)² = 121 ⇒ 144 : 121

(N100 : L81) → N - 2 = L and 100 → (10)² : (10 - 1)² ⇒ (9)² = 81 ⇒ 100 : 81

Similarly,

(G64 : ?) → G - 2 = E and 64 → (8)² : (8 - 1)² ⇒ (7)² = 49 ⇒ 64 : 49

Hence, "E49" is the correct answer.

7. Select the option that is related to the fifth number in the same way as the second number is related to the first number and the fourth number is related to the third number. [S.S.C MTS 11/07/2022 (Evening)]

196 : 226 :: 256 : 290 :: 324 : ?

Correct Answer: (a) 362
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a : b) → (√a + 1)² + 1 = b

(196 : 226) → {(√196 + 1)² + 1} ⇒ {(14 + 1)² + 1} ⇒ 15² + 1 ⇒ 225 + 1 = 226

(256 : 290) → {(√256 + 1)² + 1} ⇒ {(16 + 1)² + 1} ⇒ 17² + 1 ⇒ 289 + 1 = 290

Similarly,

(324 : ?) → {(√324 + 1)² + 1} ⇒ {(18 + 1)² + 1} ⇒ 19² + 1 ⇒ 361 + 1 = 362

Hence, "362" is the correct answer.

8. Select the option that is related to the fifth number in the same way as the second number is related to the first number and the fourth number is related to the third number. [S.S.C MTS 12/07/2022 (Morning)]

12 : 20 :: 8 : 12 :: 34 : ?

Correct Answer: (b) 64
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(a : b) → {(a × 2) - 4} = b

(12 : 20) → {(12 × 2) - 4} ⇒ 24 - 4 = 20

(8 : 12) → {(8 × 2) - 4} ⇒ 16 - 4 = 12

Similarly,
(34 : ?) → {(34 × 2) - 4} ⇒ 68 - 4 = 64

Hence, "64" is the correct answer.

9. Select the option that is related to the third letter-cluster in the same way as the second letter-cluster is related to the first letter-cluster. [S.S.C MTS 12/07/2022 (Afternoon)]

Hence, "EL" is the correct answer.

10. 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 MTS 13/07/2022 (Afternoon)]

A1 : E3 :: M7 : Q9 :: S5 : ?

Correct Answer: (a) W7
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(A1 : E3) → A + 4 = E & 1 + 2 = 3

(M7 : Q9) → M + 4 = Q & 7 + 2 = 9

Similarly,

(S5 : ?) → S + 4 = W & 5 + 2 = 7

Hence, "W7" is the correct answer.
