Total Questions: 36

1. Select the word-pair that best represents a similar relationship to the one expressed in the pairs of words given below [S.S.C CHSL Tier II 02/11/2023]

(Note: 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.)

Docile: Defiant, Placid: Turbulent

Correct Answer: (c) Zenith: Nadir
Solution:Antonym of Docile : Defiant

Antonym of turbulent : Placid

Similarly,

Antonym of Zenith : Nadir

2. Select the option that is related to the fifth number in the same way as the first number is related to the second number and the third number is related to the fourth number. [S.S.C CPO 05/10/2023 (1st Shift)]

32 : 10 :: 24 : 12 :: 98 : ?

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

(Sum of digits of 1st no.) × 2 = 2nd number

32 : 10 → (3 + 2) × 2 = 10

24 : 12 → (2 + 4) × 2 = 12

Similarly,

9 : ? → (9 + 8) × 2 = 34

Hence, 34 is the correct answer.

3. Select the option that is related to the third term in the same way as the second term is related to the first term and the sixth term is related to the fifth term. [S.S.C CPO 04/10/2023 (2nd Shift)]

16 : 106 : : 11 : ? :: 10 : 22

Correct Answer: (a) 31
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number - 6)² + 6 = 2nd number

(16 : 106) → (16 - 6)² +6 = 106

(10 : 22) → (10 - 6)² +6 = 22

Similarly,

(11 : ?) → (11 - 6)² + 6 = 31

Hence, 31 is the correct answer.

4. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following set. [S.S.C CPO 03/10/2023 (1st Shift)]

(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g. 13 Operations on 13 such as adding /subtracting/ multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is NOT allowed)

(6, 2, 96)

(5, 6, 240)

Correct Answer: (c) (1, 2, 16)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

( 1st number × 2nd number) × 8 = 3rd number

(6, 2, 96) → (6 × 2) × 8 = 96

(5, 6, 240) → (5 × 6) × 8 = 240

Similarly,

(1, 2, 16) →  (1 × 2) × 8 = 16

Hence, (1, 2, 6) is the correct answer.

5. GB 13 is related to HD 17 in a certain way. In the same way, DK 18 is related to EM 22. To which of the following is RE 16 related following the same logic? [S.S.C CHSL 17/08/2023 (1st Shift)]

Correct Answer: (c) SG 20
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

Hence, SG 20 is the correct answer.

6. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets. [S.S.C CGL 26/07/2023 (1st shift)]

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

46 - 12 - 17 and 62 - 12 - 25

Correct Answer: (a) 85-13-36
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st no. - 2nd no.) ÷ 2 = 3rd no.
(46 - 12) ÷ 2 = 17
(62 - 12) ÷ 2 = 25
Similarly,

(85 - 13) ÷ 2 = 36

Hence, (85 - 13) is the correct answer.

7. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets. [S.S.C CGL 26/07/2023 (1st shift)]

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

(50, 60, 2000)

(20, 30, 200)

Correct Answer: (b) (21, 11, 11)
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number - 10) × (2nd number - 10) = 3rd number
(50, 60, 2000): (50 - 10) × (60 - 10) = (40 × 50) = 2000

(20, 30, 200):- (20 - 10) × (30 - 10) ⇒ (10 × 20) = 200

Similarly,
(21, 11, 11): (21 - 10) × (11 - 10) ⇒ (11 × 1) = 11

Hence, (21, 11, 11) is the correct answer.

8. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets. [S.S.C CGL 26/07/2023 (1st shift)]

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

[(7/9) ,(31/39​)] ,[(3/5) ​,(15/23​)]

Correct Answer: (a) [( 11/13) , (47/55 )]
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(Numerator of 1st number × 4 + 3)/(Denominator of 1st number × 4 + 3)
=(Numerator of 2nd number)/(Denominator of 2nd number)
 [(7/9), (31/39)] :- (7 × 4 + 3)/(9×4+3) = 31/39

[(3/5), (15/23)] :- (3 × 4 + 3)/(5 × 4 + 3) = 15/23

Similarly,

[(11/13), (47/55)] :- (11 × 4 + 3)/(13 × 4 + 3) = 47/55

Hence, [11/13, 47/55] is the correct answer.

9. If 12 @ 2 = 145 and 15 @ 2 = 226, then 24 @ 2 = ? [S.S.C CHSL 20/03/2023 (1st Shift)]

Correct Answer: (a) 577
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

@ = power

(1st number) power to the 2nd number + 1 = 3rd number

(12 @ 2) → 145 ⇒ (12)² + 1 = 145
(15 @ 2) → 226 ⇒ (15)² + 1 = 226
Similarly,
(24 @ 2) → 24² + 1 = 577

Hence, 577 is the correct answer.

10. If 36 @ 2 = 1296 and 4 @ 4 = 256, then 9 @ 3 = ? [S.S.C CHSL 17/03/2023 (2nd Shift)]

Correct Answer: (a) 729
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number)(2nd number) = (3rd number)
(36)² = 1296

(4)4 = 256

(9)³ = 729

Hence, 729 is the correct answer.
