32. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following sets. [S.S.C MTS 15/05/2023 (Morning)]

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

(17, 35, 72)

(13, 27, 56)

Correct Answer: (b) (15, 31, 64)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

{(1st number ร— 2) + 1} = 2nd number & {(2nd number ร— 2) + 2} = 3rd number

(17, 35, 72) โ†’ {(17 ร— 2) + 1} = 35 & {(35 ร— 2) + 2} = 72

(13, 27, 56) โ†’ {(13 ร— 2) + 1} = 27 & {(27 ร— 2) + 2} = 56

Similarly,

(15, 31, 64) โ†’ {(15 ร— 2) + 1} = 31 & {(31 ร— 2) + 2} = 64

Hence, "(15, 31, 64)" is the correct answer.

33. Select the option that is related to the third number in the same way as the second number is related to the first number. [S.S.C MTS 15/05/2023 (Evening)]

483 : 331 :: 715 : ?

Correct Answer: (c) 563
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number) - (2nd number) = 152

(483 : 331) โ†’ 483 - 331 = 152

Similarly,

(715 : x) โ†’ 715 - x = 152 โ‡’ x = 715 - 152 โ‡’ x = 563

Hence, "563" is the correct answer.

34. Select the option that is related to the third number in the same way as the second number is related to the first number. [S.S.C MTS 16/05/2023 (Morning)]

64 : 15 :: 88 : ?

Correct Answer: (a) 21
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

{(2nd number ร— 4) + 4} = 1st number

(64 : 15) โ†’ {(15 ร— 4) + 4} โ‡’ 60 + 4 = 64

Similarly,

(88 : x) โ†’ {(x ร— 4) + 4} = 88

โ‡’ x = {(88 - 4) รท 4}

โ‡’ x = 84 รท 4

x = 21

Hence, "21" is the correct answer.

35. Select the option in which the numbers share the same relationship in set as that shared by the numbers in the given set. [S.S.C MTS 16/05/2023 (Morning)]

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

(10, 30, 90)

(20, 60, 180)

Correct Answer: (b) (30, 90, 270)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number) ร— 3 = 2nd number & (2nd number) ร— 3 = 3rd number

(10, 30, 90) โ†’ 10 ร— 3 = 30 & 30 ร— 3 = 90

(20, 60, 180) โ†’ 20 ร— 3 = 60 & 60 ร— 3 = 180

Similarly,

(30, 90, 270) โ†’ 30 ร— 3 = 90 & 90 ร— 3 = 270

Hence, "(30, 90, 270)" is the correct answer.

36. 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 fourth term is related to the third term. [S.S.C MTS 16/05/2023 (Morning)]

T3G : V16L :: R29A : T42F :: M43P : ?

346 : 175 :: 250 : ?

Correct Answer: (b) 127
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

{(1st number รท 2) + 2}ย  2nd number

(โ€‹346 : 175) โ†’ {(346 รท 2) + 2} โ‡’ 173 + 2 = 175

Similarly,

(250 : ?) โ†’ {(250 รท 2) + 2} โ‡’ 125 + 2 = 127ย 

Hence, "127" is the correct answer.
