Analogy varieties Question TCS (Part – I)

Total Questions: 40

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]

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:(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:(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 option that is related to the fifth letter-cluster in the same way as the second letter-cluster is related to the first letter-cluster and the fourth letter-cluster is related to the third letter-cluster.

CREATION : ETGCVKQP, UNIVERSE : WPKXGTUG, PLANET : ?

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

5. 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:( 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.

6. 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:

Hence, SG 20 is the correct answer.

7. GMRW is related to TNID in a certain way based on a certain relationship between the given letters in the English alphabetical order. In the same way. AJQV is related to ZQJE. Which of the given options is ITZB related to following the same logic? [S.S.C CHSL 11/08/2023 (1st Shift)]

Correct Answer: (b) RGAY
Solution:

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.)

46 - 12 - 17 and 62 - 12 - 25

Correct Answer: (a) 85-13-36
Solution:(1st no. - 2nd no.) ÷ 2 = 3rd no.
(46 - 12) ÷ 2 = 17
(62 - 12) ÷ 2 = 25
Similarly, (85 - 13) ÷ 2 = 36

9. 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:(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

10. Select the option that is related to the fifth letter-cluster in the same way as the second letter-cluster is related to the first letter-cluster and the fourth letter-cluster is related to the third letter-cluster. [S.S.C CGL 21/07/2023 (4th shift)]
