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. [SSC MTS 05/07/2022 (Morning)]

I4D : G9F :: L16S : J25U :: W64R : ?

(a) T81U
(b) U81T
(c) U49T
(d) S49T

Correct Answer: (b) U81T

Solution:In 14D : G9F, I – 2 = G, (22 ÷ 2) = 4
⇒ (1 + 9) = 9, D + 2 = F
In L16S : J25U, L – 2 = J, (4) = 16
⇒ (4 + 1) ÷ 2 = 25, S + 2 = U

Similarly, W - 2 → U, (8)² = 64
⇒ (8 + 1)² → 81, R + 2 → T
Hence, we get W64R : U81T

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

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

(a) V 22
(b) A 1
(c) U 22
(d) V 21

Correct Answer: (a) V 22

Solution:In (P 16 : R 18), P + 2 = R and place value of P is 16 and R is 18.
In (I 9 : K 11), I + 2 = K and place value of I is 9 and K is 11.
Similarly, T + 2 = V and place value of T is 20 and V is 22.
Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.

3. 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. [SSC MTS 06/07/2022 (Evening)]

24 : 36 :: 58 : 57 :: ?

(a) 79
(b) 69
(c) 75
(d) 87

Correct Answer: (d) 87

Solution:In 24 : 36, (12 × 2) : (12 × 3) = 24 : 36
In 38 : 57, (19 × 2) : (19 × 3) = 38 : 57
Similarly, (29 × 2) : (29 × 3) = 58 : 87
Hence, the missing number is 87.

4. 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. [SSC MTS 06/07/2022 (Evening)]

(a) Heart
(b) Ear
(c) Throat
(d) Nose

Correct Answer: (b) Ear

Solution:Retina is a part of Eye and Pons is a part of Brain. Similarly, Cochlea is a part of Ear.

5. 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. [SSC MTS 07/07/2022 (Afternoon)]

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

(a) OZO
(b) OYE
(c) OYN
(d) OYO

Correct Answer: (d) OYO

Solution:ACT : KCD :: EAR : OAB :: EYE : ?
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,
Hence ? = OYO

6. Select the option that is related to the fifth alphanumeric-cluster in the same way as the second alphanumeric-cluster is related to the first alphanumeric-cluster and the fourth alphanumeric-cluster is related to the third alphanumeric-cluster. [SSC MTS 08/07/2022 (Morning)]

P4 : N9 :: M16 : K25 :: G49 : ?

(a) H55
(b) F64
(c) I72
(d) E64

Correct Answer: (d) E64

Solution:In P4 : N9, P - 2 = N and
2² : (2 + 1)² = 2² : 3² = 4 : 9 ....(Square of consecutive natural numbers)
In M16 : K25, M - 2 = K, and 4² : (4 + 1)² = 4² : 5² = 16 : 25 ....(Square of consecutive natural numbers)
Similarly, G - 2 = E and 7² : (7 + 1)² = 7² : 8² = 49 : 64 ....(Square of consecutive natural numbers)
So we get G49 : E64
Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.

7. 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. [SSC MTS 08/07/2022 (Afternoon)]

KING : HFKD :: FRKM : ?

(a) CLHJ
(b) CLHK
(c) COHK
(d) COHJ

Correct Answer: (d) COHJ

Solution:

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

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

(a) E49
(b) G49
(c) F36
(d) D30

Correct Answer: (a) E49

Solution:In U144 : S121, U - 2 = S and
(12)² : (12 - 1)² = (12)² : (11)² = 144 : 121

In N100 : L81, N - 2 = L and (10)² : (10 - 1)² = (10)² : (9)² = 100 : 81
Similarly, G - 2 = E and (8)² : (8 - 1)² = (8)² : (7)² = 64 : 49
So, we get G64 : E49. Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.

9. 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. [SSC MTS 11/07/2022 (Evening)]

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

(a) 362
(b) 358
(c) 352
(d) 372

Correct Answer: (a) 362

Solution:In 196 : 226, 14² : (14 + 1)² + 1
= 14² : 15² + 1 = 196 : 225 + 1 = 196 : 226

In 256 : 290, 16² : (16 + 1)² + 1

$1 6² : 1 7² + 1 = 256 : 289 + 1 = 256 : 290$
Similarly,
in $324 : 361$

Hence, the missing number is 362.

10. 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. [SSC MTS 12/07/2022 (Morning)]

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

(a) 52
(b) 64
(c) 48
(d) 56

Correct Answer: (b) 64

Solution:In 12 : 20, 12 : 12 × 2 - 4
= 12 : 24 - 4 = 12 : 20
In 8 : 12, 8 × 2 - 4 = 8 : 16 - 4 = 8 : 12
Similarly,
34 : 34 × 2 - 4 = 34 : 68 - 4 = 34 : 64
Hence, the missing number is 64.
