11. Find the missing number ? [S.S.C CHSL 25/05/2022 (Afternoon)]

Correct Answer: (d) 166
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

{(1st number Γ— 14) + (2nd number + 1)} = 3rd number [{14a + (b +1)} - 2] = c

In 1st row : (6, 39, 124)

β‡’ {(6 Γ— 14) + (39 + 1)} β‡’ (84 + 40) = 34

In 3rd row : (11, 74, 229)

β‡’ {(6 Γ— 14) + (39 + 1)} β‡’ (84 + 40) = 34

Similarly,

In 2nd row : (8, 53, ?)

β‡’ {(8 Γ— 14) + (53 + 1)} β‡’ (112 + 54) = 166

Hence, "166" is the correct answer.

12. Find the missing number ? [S.S.C CHSL 24/05/2022 (Morning)]

Correct Answer: (b) 69
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

[{(1st number + 2nd number) Γ· 5} Γ— 3] = 3rd number [{a + b) Γ· 5} Γ— 3] = c

For 1st Row : (73, 52, 75)

β‡’ [{(73 + 52) Γ· 5} Γ— 3] β‡’ {(125 Γ· 5) Γ— 3} β‡’ (25 Γ— 3) = 75

For 2nd Row : (64, 41, 63)

β‡’ [{(64 + 41) Γ· 5} Γ— 3] β‡’ {(105 Γ· 5) Γ— 3} β‡’ (21 Γ— 3) = 63

Similarly,

For 3rd Row : (68, 47, ?)

β‡’ [{(68 + 47) Γ· 5} Γ— 3] β‡’ {(115 Γ· 5) Γ— 3} β‡’ (23 Γ— 3) = 69

Hence, "69" is the correct answer.

13. Find the missing number ? [S.S.C CGL 13/04/2022 (Morning)]

Correct Answer: (b) 13
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

{(1st number + 3rd number) Γ— (1st number - 3rd number)} = 2nd number [{a + c) Γ— (a - c)] = b

For 1st Row : (15, 81, 12)

β‡’ {(15 + 12) Γ— (15 - 12)} β‡’ (27 Γ— 3} = 81

For 2nd Row : (18, 99, 15)

β‡’ {(18 + 15) Γ— (18 - 15)} β‡’ (33 Γ— 3} = 99

Similarly,

For 3rd Row : (17, 120, ?)

β‡’ {(17 + x) Γ— (17 - x)} = 120

β‡’ (17Β² - xΒ²) = 120 [ (a + b)(a - b) = aΒ² - bΒ² ]

β‡’ 289 - xΒ² = 120

β‡’ xΒ² = 289 - 120

β‡’ xΒ² = 169

β‡’ √xΒ² = √169

β‡’ x = 13

Hence, "13" is the correct answer.

15. Find the missing number ? [S.S.C MTS 07/10/2021 (Morning)]

Correct Answer: (b) 157
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

{(1st number + 2nd number) Γ— 2} + 2nd number = 3rd number. [{(a + b) Γ— 2} + b] = c

For 1st Row : (25, 24, 122)

β‡’ [{(25 + 24) Γ— 2} + 24] β‡’ {(49 Γ— 2) + 24} = 122

For 2nd Row : (31, 27, 143)

β‡’ [{(31 + 27) Γ— 2} + 27] β‡’ {(58 Γ— 2) + 27} = 143

Similarly,

For 3rd Row : (35, 29, ?)

β‡’ [{(35 + 29) Γ— 2} + 29] β‡’ {(64 Γ— 2) + 29} = 157

Hence, "157" is the correct answer.

16. Find the missing number ? [S.S.C MTS 05/10/2021 (Afternoon)]

Correct Answer: (a) 49
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number Γ— 2nd number) + (difference of both numbers) = 3rd number

In 1st row : (6, 12, 78)

β‡’ (6 Γ— 12) + (12 - 6) β‡’ (72 + 6) = 78

In 2nd row : (6, 15, 99)

β‡’ (6 Γ— 15) + (15 - 6) β‡’ (90 + 9) = 99

Similarly,

In 3rd row : (3, 13, ?)

β‡’ (3 Γ— 13) + (13 - 3) β‡’ (39 + 10) = 49

Hence, "49" is the correct answer.

17. Find the missing number ? [S.S.C CGL 16/08/2021 (Morning)]

Correct Answer: (d) 5
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

{2nd number - (1st number Γ· 2) +Β product of digit of 1st number} = 3rd number

In 1st row : (14, 16, 13)

β‡’ 16 - (14 Γ· 2) + (1 Γ— 4) β‡’ 16 - 7 + 4 = 13

In 3rd row : (12, 21, 17)

β‡’ 21 - (12 Γ· 2) + (1 Γ— 2) β‡’ 21 - 6 + 2 = 17

Similarly,

In 2nd row : (18, 6, ?)

β‡’ 6 - (18 Γ· 2) + (1 Γ— 8) β‡’ 6 - 9 + 8 = 5

Hence, "5" is the correct answer.

18. Find the missing number ? [S.S.C CPO 23/11/2020 (Evening)]

Correct Answer: (d) 24
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

In each row, Sum of digits of first two number is equal to the third.

In first row : (4507, 7077, 37)

β‡’ ( 4 + 5 + 0 + 7 ) + Β ( 7+ 0 + 7 + 7 ) = 37

In second row : (2503, 3067, 26)

β‡’ (2 + 5 + 0 + 3) + (3 + 0 + 6 + 7) = 26

In third row : (3307, 4061, ?)

β‡’ (3 + 3 + 0 + 7) + (4 + 0 + 6 + 1) = 24

Hence, "24" is the correct answer.

19. Find the missing number ? [S.S.C CPO 23/11/2020 (Morning)]

Correct Answer: (b) 168
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(2nd number)Β² - (1st number)Β² = 3rd number

In first row : (14, 16, 60)

β‡’ (16Β² - 14Β²) β‡’ (256 - 196) = 60

In third row : (15, 18, 99)

β‡’ (18Β² - 15Β²) β‡’ (324 - 225) = 99

Similarly,

In second row : (11, 17, 168)

β‡’ (17Β² - 11Β²) β‡’ (289 - 121) = 168

Hence, "168" is the correct answer.

20. Find the missing number ? [S.S.C CHSL 26/10/2020 (Afternoon)]

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

4 + 5 = 9 & 9 Γ— 2 = 18

9 + 2 = 11 & 11 Γ— 2 = 22

Similarly,

3 + 5 = 8 & 8 Γ— 2 = 16

Hence, "16" is the correct answer.
