41. 78 is related to 69 following a certain logic. Following the same logic, 57 is related to 48. To which of the following is 94 related to, following the same logic? [S.S.C MTS 12/09/2023 (3rd Shift)]

Correct Answer: (b) 85
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number - 2nd number) = 9
(78, 69) → (78 - 69) = 9
(57, 48) → (57 - 48) = 9
Similarly,

(94, 85) → (94 - 85) = 9

Hence, 85 is the correct answer.

42. 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 12/09/2023 (3rd Shift)]

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

12 : 44
8 : 28

Correct Answer: (a) 9 : 32
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number × 4) - 4 = 2nd number
12 : 44 ⇒ (12 × 4) - 4 ⇒ 48 - 4 = 44
8 : 28 ⇒ (8 × 4) - 4 ⇒ 32 - 4 = 28

Similarly,

9 : 32 ⇒ (9 × 4) - 4 ⇒ 36 - 4 = 32

Hence, (9 : 32) is the correct answer.

43. 8 is related to 59 following a certain logic. Following the same logic, 9 is related to 76. To which of the following is 25 related to, following the same logic? [S.S.C MTS 13/09/2023 (1st Shift)]

Correct Answer: (a) 620
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number)² - 5 = 2nd number
(8 : 59) ⇒ 8² - 5 ⇒ 64 - 5 = 59
(9 : 76) ⇒ 9² - 5 ⇒ 81 - 5 = 76
Similarly,
(25 : ?) ⇒ 25² - 5 ⇒ 625 - 5 = 620

Hence, 620 is the correct answer.

44. TDWP is related to RBUN in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, FJMH is related to DHKF. To which of the following is SENP related to, following the same logic? [S.S.C MTS 13/09/2023 (1st Shift)]

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

Hence, QCLN is the correct answer.

45. 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 13/09/2023 (2nd 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)

Lava : Volcano

Correct Answer: (c) Steam : Geyser
Solution:As lava emits from volcanoes.

Similarly, steam emits from geysers.

46. 10 is related to 97 following a certain logic. Following the same logic, 12 is related to 141. To which of the following is 14 related to, following the same logic? [S.S.C MTS 13/09/2023 (2nd Shift)]

Correct Answer: (a) 193
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number)² - 3 = 2nd number
(10, 97) → (10)² - 3 = 97
(12, 141) → (12)² - 3 = 141
Similarly,

(14, ?) → (14)² - 3 = 193

Hence, 193 is the correct answer.

47. 12 is related to 59 following a certain logic. Following the same logic, 17 is related to 84. To which of the following is 19 related to, following the same logic? [S.S.C MTS 13/09/2023 (2nd Shift)]

Correct Answer: (b) 94
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number × 5) - 1 = 2nd number
(12, 59) → (12 × 5) - 1 = 59
(17, 84) → (17 × 5) - 1 = 84
Similarly,
(19, 94) → (19 × 5) - 1 = 94

Hence, 94 is the correct answer.

48. 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 13/09/2023 (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 consonantsvowels in the word)

Horse : Mare

Correct Answer: (a) Fox : Vixen
Solution:As the feminine gender of Horse is Mare.

Similarly, the feminine gender of Fox is Vixen.

49. 2 is related to 7 following a certain logic. Following the same logic, 4 is related to 63. To which of the following is 9 related to, following the same logic? [S.S.C MTS 13/09/2023 (3rd Shift)]

Correct Answer: (b) 728
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number)³ - 1 = 2nd number
(2 : 7) → 2³ - 1 ⇒ 8 - 1 = 7
(4 : 63) → 4³ - 1 ⇒ 64 - 1 = 63
Similarly,
(9 : ?) → 9³ - 1 ⇒ 729 - 1 = 728

Hence, 728 is the correct answer.

50. RN 12 is related to PL 16 in a certain way. In the same way, EJ 17 is related to CH 21. To which of the following is FL 15 related to following the same logic? [S.S.C MTS 14/09/2023 (1st Shift)]

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

Hence, DJ 19 is the correct answer.
