51. 428 is related to 317 following a certain logic. Following the same logic, 285 is related to 174. To which of the following is 597 related to, following the same logic? [S.S.C MTS 14/09/2023 (1st Shift)]

Correct Answer: (d) 486
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number - 2nd number) = 111
(428, 317) → 428 - 317 = 111
(285, 174) → 285 - 174 = 111
Similarly,
(597, 486) → 597 - 486 = 111

Hence, 486 is the correct answer.

52. OE 13 is related to MC 17 in a certain way. In the same way, FL 16 is related to DJ 20. To which of the following is RD 15 related to following the same logic? [S.S.C MTS 14/09/2023 (2nd Shift)]

Correct Answer: (c) PB 19
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

Hence, PB 19 is the correct answer.

53. 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 14/09/2023 (2nd Shift)]

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

3 : 7
5 : 23

Correct Answer: (a) 6 : 34
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number)² - 2 = 2nd number
(3 : 7) → (3)² - 2 ⇒ 9 - 2 = 7
(5 : 23) → (5)² - 2 ⇒ 25 - 2 = 23
Similarly,

(6 : 34) → (6)² - 2 ⇒ 36 - 2 = 34

Hence, (6 : 34) is the correct answer.
