2. Find the missing number? [SSC CGL 10/06/2019 (Afternoon)]

(a) 175
(b) 164
(c) 185
(d) 154

Correct Answer: (a) 175

Solution:(a) Logic is:- Difference between the square

12 ^ 2 - 7 ^ 2 = 144 - 49 = 95

14 ^ 2 - 8 ^ 2 = 196 - 64 = 132

16 ^ 2 - 9 ^ 2 = 256 - 81 = 175

(a) 134
(b) 112
(c) 96
(d) 140

Correct Answer: (b) 112

Solution:(b) 9 × 3 = 27 + 1 = 28 ;
28 × 3 = 84 + 1 = 85 .

Similarly...

12 × 3 = 36 + 1 = 37

37 × 3 = 111 + 1 = 112

(a) 12
(b) 32
(c) 21
(d) 34

(a) 208
(b) 142
(c) 232
(d) 116

(a) 7
(b) 9
(c) 5
(d) 6

Correct Answer: (a) 7

Solution:(a) Logic:- In a row addition of the first two, then divided by 9 gives the third number. 50 + 31 = 81/9 = 9

43 + 11 = 54/9 = 6

42 + 21 = 63/9 = 7

Similarly,

7. Find the missing number? [SSC CGL 11/06/2019 (Evening)]

(a) 18
(b) 20
(c) 19
(d) 21

Correct Answer: (b) 20

Solution:(b) Logic:- By going Column wise:

√1st number + 2nd number = Third number.

√9 + 6 = 3 + 6 = 9 ;

√25 + 11 = 5 + 11 = 16

Similarly, √49 + 13 = 7 + 13 = 20

8. Find the missing number? [SSC CGL 11/06/2019 (Evening)]

(a) 3
(b) 51
(c) 9
(d) 12

Correct Answer: (a) 3

Solution:(a) 4 ^ 2 + 5 ^ 2 = 16 + 25 = 41

6 ^ 2 + 3 ^ 2 = 36 + 9 = 45

7 ^ 2 + x ^ 2 = 49 + x ^ 2 = 58

X ^ 2 = 9 ; x = 3

9. Find the missing number? [SSC CGL 12/06/2019 (Morning)]

(a) 12
(b) 14
(c) 11
(d) 10

Correct Answer: (d) 10

Solution:(d) 11 + √16 = 11 + 4 = 15

17 + √36 = 17 + 6 = 23

Similarly, 8 + √4 = 8 + 2 = 10

10. Find the missing number? [SSC CGL 12/06/2019 (Morning)]

( a) 54
(b) 55
(c) 52
(d) 53

Correct Answer: (b) 55

Solution:(b) 9 ^ 2 - 6 ^ 2 = 81 - 36 = 45

11 ^ 2 - 8 ^ 2 = 121 - 64 = 57

8 ^ 2 - 3 ^ 2 = 64 - 9 = 55

So the missing number is 55.
