21. Find the missing number ? [S.S.C CHSL 16/10/2020 (Morning)]

Correct Answer: (c) 256
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st number + 2nd number)² = 3rd number

In figure (i)

⇒ (7 + 6)² ⇒ (13)² = 169

In figure (ii)

⇒ (9 + 2)² ⇒ (11)² = 121

Similarly,

In figure (iii)

⇒ (9 + 7)² ⇒ (16)² = 256

Hence, "256" is the correct answer.

22. Find the missing number ? [S.S.C CHSL 18/03/2020 (Afternoon)]

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

In figure I :

⇒ (5 Ɨ 6)Ć· 2 ⇒ 30 Ć· 2 = 15Ā 

In figure II :

⇒ (4 Ɨ 9) Ć· 2 ⇒ 36 Ć· 2 = 18

In figure III

⇒ (6 Ɨ 7) Ć· 2 ⇒ 42 Ć· 2 = 21

Hence, "21" is the correct answer.

23. Find the missing number ? [S.S.C CHSL 17/03/2020 (Evening)]

13Ā  108Ā  26Ā  55Ā  ?Ā  157Ā  11Ā  9Ā  14

Correct Answer: (b) 39
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

11 → √(13 + 108) = √121

9 → √(26 + 55) = √81

14 → √(7 + 157) ⇒ 196 = ? + 157

⇒ ? = 196 - 157 = 39

24. Find the missing number? [S.S.C CHSL 17/03/2020 (Afternoon)]

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

13 + 19 = 32 ⇒ (32 Ć· 8) = 4

71 + 9 = 80 ⇒ (80 Ć· 8) = 10

128 + 32 = 160 ⇒ (160 Ć· 8) = 20

25. Find the missing number? [S.S.C CGL 07/03/2020 (Evening)]

Correct Answer: (a) 54
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

3 Ɨ 6 = 18

3 Ɨ 9 = 27

6 Ɨ 9 = 54

26. Find the missing number? [S.S.C CGL 06/03/2020 (Morning)]

Correct Answer: (b) 77
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

In Row

(Digit addition of 1st No. until single unit digit obtained) + 2nd No. = Resultant Ɨ 11 = 3rd No.

(23, 5, 110) → 2 + 3 = 5 (single digit)

(5 + 5) Ɨ 11 ⇒ 10 Ɨ 11 = 110

(56, 9, 121) → 5 + 6 = 11 ⇒ 1 + 1 = 2 (single digit)

(9 + 2) Ɨ 11 ⇒ 11 Ɨ 11 = 121

(49, 3, 77) → 4 + 9 = 13 ⇒ 1 + 3 = 4 (single digit)

(4 + 3) Ɨ 7 ⇒ 7 Ɨ 11 = 77

27. Find the missing number? [S.S.C CGL 04/03/2020 (Afternoon)]

Correct Answer: (b) 464
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

N(N²) are given together in the pattern:

1(1³) = 11,

2(2³) = 28,

3(3³) = 327

5(5³) = 5125

Similarly,

4(4³) = 464

28. Find the missing number? [S.S.C MTS 22/08/2019 (Evening)]

Correct Answer: (a) 134
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

(1st term Ɨ 2nd term) + (2nd term Ɨ 3rd term) + (1st term Ɨ 3rd term) = 4th term

Given set: (3, 5, 7, 71) → (3 Ɨ 5) + (5 Ɨ 7) + (3 Ɨ 7) ⇒ 15 + 35 + 21 = 71 = 4th term

Similarly,

(6, 4, 11, ?) → (6 Ɨ 4) + (4 Ɨ 11) + (6 Ɨ 11) ⇒ 24 + 44 + 66 = 134

29. Find the missing number? [S.S.C MTS 02/08/2019 (Evening)]

Correct Answer: (b) 88
Solution:The pattern followed here is :

In column

(a Ɨ b) + {b 2)} = cĀ 

(5 6) + {6 (6 Ć· 2)} ⇒ 30 + 18 = 48

(9 2) + {2 (2 Ć· 2)} ⇒ 18 + 2 = 20

(7 8) + {8 (8 Ć· 2)} ⇒ 56 + 32 = 88

30. Find the missing number? [S.S.C CGL 13/06/2019 (Afternoon)]

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

In column

Difference between 1st and 2nd number is double the difference between 2nd and 3rd number.

36 - 28 = 8, 32 - 28 = 4 (8 = 2 4)

52 - 40 = 12, 46 - 40 = 6 (12 = 2 6)

Similarly,

86 - 12 = 74, 49 - 12 = 37 (74 = 2 37)
