31. 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 08/09/2023 (3rd Shift)]

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

(5, 11, 80)
(6, 12, 90)

Correct Answer: (c) 7, 17, 120
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number + 2nd number) × 5 = 3rd number
(5, 11, 80) → (5 + 11) × 5 ⇒ (16 × 5) = 80
(6, 12, 90) → (6 + 12) × 5 ⇒ (18 × 5) = 90
Similarly,

(7, 17, 120) → (7 + 17) × 5 ⇒ (24 × 5) = 120

Hence, (7, 17, 120) is the correct answer.

32. 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 11/09/2023 (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.)

Legend : Map

Correct Answer: (b) Glossary : Text
Solution:As a legend is a list of symbols that appear on the map similarly a glossary is a collection of words pertaining to a specific topic.

33. 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 11/09/2023 (1st Shift)]

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

8, 128
9, 162

Correct Answer: (b) 14, 392
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number)² × 2 = 2nd number
(8, 128) → 8² × 2 ⇒ 64 × 2 = 128
(9, 162) → 9² × 2 ⇒ 81 × 2 = 162
Similarly,

(14, 392) → 14² × 2 ⇒ 196 × 2 = 392

Hence, (14, 392) is the correct answer.

34. 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 11/09/2023 (1st Shift)]

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

16 : 41
11 : 26

Correct Answer: (d) 12 : 29
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number × 3) - 7 = 2nd number
16 : 41 → (16 × 3) - 7 ⇒ 48 - 7 = 41
11 : 26 → (11 × 3) - 7 ⇒ 33 - 7 = 26
Similarly,

12 : 29 → (12 × 3) - 7 ⇒ 36 - 7 = 29

Hence, 12 : 29 is the correct answer.

35. EH 11 is related to CF 16 in a certain way. In the same way, JV 15 is related to HT 20. To which of the following is FN 13 related to following the same logic? [S.S.C MTS 11/09/2023 (2nd Shift)]

Correct Answer: (d) DL 18
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

Hence, DL 18 is the correct answer.

36. 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 11/09/2023 (3rd 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)
Bacteria : Decomposition

Correct Answer: (b) Yeast : Fermentation
Solution:As Bacteria are the major microbes that help in the decomposition process

Similarly, Yeast is the major microbe that helps in the fermentation process.

37. 11 is related to 123 following a certain logic. Following the same logic, 20 is related to 402. To which of the following is 13 related to, following the same logic? [S.S.C MTS 11/09/2023 (3rd Shift)]

Correct Answer: (a) 171
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number)² + 2 = 2nd number
11 : 123 → 11² + 2 ⇒ 121 + 2 = 123
20 : 402 → 20² + 2 ⇒ 400 + 2 = 402
Similarly,

13 : ? → 13² + 2 ⇒ 169 + 2 = 171

Hence, 171 is the correct answer.

38. 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 12/09/2023 (1st Shift)]

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

(25, 49, 73)
(34, 23, 12)

Correct Answer: (c) 18, 22, 26
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number + 3rd number) ÷ 2 = (2nd number)
(25, 49, 73) → (25 + 73) ÷ 2 ⇒ 98 ÷ 2 = 49
(34, 23, 12) → (34 + 12) ÷ 2 ⇒ 46 ÷ 2 = 23
Similarly,
(18, 22, 26) → (18 + 26) ÷ 2 ⇒ 44 ÷ 2 = 22

Hence, (8, 22, 26) is the correct answer.

39. MEOP is related to KCMN in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, LTDG is related to JRBE. To which of the following is UNTF related to, following the same logic? [S.S.C MTS 12/09/2023 (1st Shift)]

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

Hence, SLRD is the correct answer.

40. PD 17 is related to TH 19 in a certain way. Similarly, HK 23 is related to LO 29. Following the same logic FJ 11 is related to which of the following? [S.S.C MTS 12/09/2023 (2nd Shift)]

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

Hence, JN 13 is the correct answer.
