1. 287 is related to 398 following a certain logic. Following the same logic, 378 is related to 489. To which of the following is 852 related to, following the same logic? [S.S.C MTS 01/09/2023 (1st Shift)]

Correct Answer: (b) 963
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(2nd number - 1st number) = 111
(287 : 398) → 398 - 287 = 111
(378 : 489) → 489 - 378 = 111
Similarly,
(852 : x) → x - 852 = 111 ⇒ x = 852 + 111 = 963

Hence, 963 is the correct answer.

2. Select the word-pair that best represents a similar relationship to the one expressed in the pair of words given below. [S.S.C MTS 01/09/2023 (1st Shift)]

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

Reflection : Light

Correct Answer: (b) Echo : Sound
Solution:As Reflection is a property of light

Similarly, Echo is a property of Sound.

3. FKQN is related to LQWT in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, CHOJ is related to INUP. To which of the following is DOSG related to, following the same logic? [S.S.C MTS 01/09/2023 (2nd Shift)]

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

Hence, JUYM is the correct answer.

4. 284 is related to 142 following a certain logic. Following the same logic, 612 is related to 306. To which of the following is 522 related to, following the same logic? [S.S.C MTS 01/09/2023 (2nd Shift)]

Correct Answer: (b) 261
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(2nd number × 2) = 1st number
(284 : 142) → 142 × 2 = 284
(612 : 306) → 306 × 2 = 612
Similarly,

(522 : y) → y × 2 = 522 ⇒ y = (522 ÷ 2) = 261

Hence, 261 is the correct answer.

5. In the following number-pairs, the second number is obtained by applying certain mathematical operations to the first number. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets. [S.S.C MTS 01/09/2023 (2nd Shift)]

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

(5, 24)
(12, 143)

Correct Answer: (b) 14, 195
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number)² - 1 = 2nd number
(5 : 24) → 5² - 1 = 25 - 1 = 24
(12 : 143) → 12² - 1 = 144 - 1 = 143
Similarly,
(14 : 195) → 14² - 1 = 196 - 1 = 195

Hence, (14 : 195) is the correct answer.

6. HM 12 is related to FK 17 in a certain way. In the same way, EK 18 is related to CI 23. To which of the following is GU 14 related to following the same logic? [S.S.C MTS 01/09/2023 (3rd Shift)]

Correct Answer: (a) ES 19
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

Hence, ES 19 is the correct answer.

7. In the following number-pairs, the second number is obtained by applying certain mathematical operations to the first number. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets. [S.S.C MTS 01/09/2023 (3rd Shift)]

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

16 : 95
6 : 35

Correct Answer: (b) 13 : 77
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number × 6) - 1 = 2nd number
16 : 95 → (16 × 6) - 1 = 96 - 1 = 95
6 : 35 → (6 × 6) - 1 = 36 - 1 = 35
Similarly,
13 : 77 → (13 × 6) - 1 = 78 - 1 = 77

Hence, 13 : 77 is the correct answer.

8. 'DKJE' is related to 'IPOJ' in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, GTSM is related to LYXR. To which of the following is RBNF related to, following the same logic? [S.S.C MTS 04/09/2023 (1st Shift)]

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

Hence, WGSK is the correct answer.

9. 2 is related to 40 following a certain logic. Following the same logic, 5 is related to 250. To which of the following is 7 related to, following the same logic? [S.S.C MTS 04/09/2023 (2nd Shift)]

Correct Answer: (b) 490
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number)² × 10 = 2nd number
2 : 40 → 2² × 10 ⇒ 4 × 10 = 40
5 : 250 → 5² × 10 ⇒ 25 × 10 = 250
Similarly,

7 : 490 → 7² × 10 ⇒ 49 × 10 = 490

Hence, 490 is the correct answer.

10. Select the word-pair that best represents the same relationship expressed in the pair of words given below. [S.S.C MTS 04/09/2023 (2nd Shift)]

(The words should be treated as meaningful Hindi words and should not be related to each other on the basis of number of letters/consonants/vowels in the word.)
