[S.S.C CGL 09/12/2022 (1st Shift)](NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits.)(a) 5 - 23(b) 11 - 123(c) 9 - 83(d) 7 - 51Correct Answer: (a) 5 - 23Solution:The pattern followed here is :(1st number)² + 2 = 2nd number (11 - 123) → 11² + 2 = 123 (9 - 83) → 9² + 2 = 83 (7 - 51) → 7² + 2 = 51But,(5 - 23) → 5² + 2 = 27 ≠ 23 Hence, (5 - 23) is the correct answer44. Select the odd group of numbers. [S.S.C CGL 09/12/2022 (2nd Shift)](NOTE :- Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits.)(a) 137 - 142 - 147(b) 117 - 122 - 129(c) 103 - 108 - 113(d) 131 - 136 - 141Correct Answer: (b) 117 - 122 - 129Solution:The pattern followed here is :(1st number + 5) = 2nd number & (2nd number + 5) = 3rd number (137 - 142 - 147) → (137 + 5 = 142) & (142 + 5 = 147) (103 - 108 - 113) → (103 + 5 = 108) & (108 + 5 = 113) (131 - 136 - 141) → {131 + 5 = 136}, & (136 + 5 = 141)But,(117 - 122 - 129) → (117 + 5 = 122) & (122 + 5 = 129) (not follows)Hence, (117 - 122 - 129) is the correct answer.45. Which letter-cluster does not belong to the group? [S.S.C CGL 09/12/2022 (2nd Shift)](a) MKOJ(b) URWQ(c) EQGP(d) XFWECorrect Answer: (d) XFWESolution:The pattern followed here is :(1st letter + 2 = 3rd letter) and (2nd letter - 1 = 4th letter) MKOJ → M + 2 = O and K - 1 = J URWQ → U + 2 = W and R - 1 = Q EQGP → E + 2 = G and Q - 1 = PBut, XFWE → X + 2 ≠ W and F - 1 = EHence, XFWE is the correct answer.46. Select the odd one out from the given alternatives. [S.S.C CGL 09/12/2022 (3rd Shift)](NOTE :- Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits.)(a) 32 - 65(b) 12 - 25(c) 28 - 56(d) 26 - 55Correct Answer: (c) 28 - 56Solution:The pattern followed here is :(32 - 65) → {(32 × 2) + 1} = 65 (12 - 25) → {(12 × 2) + 1} = 25 (26 - 53) → {(26 × 2) + 1} = 53But,(28 - 56) → {(28 × 2) + 1} = 57 ≠ 56 Hence, (28 - 56) is the correct answer.47. Select the odd group of numbers. [S.S.C CGL 09/12/2022 (4th Shift)](NOTE :- Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits.)(a) 19 - 28 - 48(b) 17 - 27 - 47(c) 15 - 25 - 49(d) 13 - 23 - 43Correct Answer: (c) 15 - 25 - 49Solution:The pattern followed here is :(1st number + 3rd number) - (1st number + 2nd number) = 20 (19 - 28 - 48) → {(19 + 48) - (19 + 28)} ⇒ (67 - 47) = 20 (17 - 27 - 47) → {(17 + 47) - (17 + 27)} ⇒ (64 - 44) = 20 (13 - 23 - 43) ⇒ {(13 + 43) - (13 + 23)} ⇒ (56 - 36) = 20But, (15 - 25 - 49) ⇒ {(15 + 49) - (15 + 25)} = 24 (not follows)Hence, (15 - 25 - 49) is the correct answer.48. Which letter-cluster does not belong to the group? [S.S.C CGL 12/12/2022 (1st Shift)](a) CXA(b) UGS(c) JRH(d) NNLCorrect Answer: (a) CXASolution:The pattern followed here is :{1st letter - 2 = 3rd letter} and {2nd letter + 1 = alphabetical opposite of 3rd letter} UGS → U - 2 = S and G + 1 = H (which is alphabetical opposite of S) JRH → J - 2 = H and R + 1 = S (which is alphabetical opposite of H) NNL → N - 2 = L and N + 1 = O (which is alphabetical opposite of L)But, CXA → C - 2 = A and X + 1 = Y (which is not alphabetical opposite of A)Hence, CXA is the correct answer.49. Which letter-cluster does not belong to the group? [S.S.C CGL 12/12/2022 (2nd Shift)](a) UCF(b) ZXA(c) NJM(d) HDXCorrect Answer: (d) HDXSolution:The pattern followed here is :UCF → U ↔ F (opposite), C + 3 = F ZXA → Z ↔ A (opposite), X + 3 = A NJM → N ↔ M (opposite), J + 3 = MBut, HDX → H ↔ X (not opposite), D + 3 ≠ X Hence, HDX is the correct answer.50. Select the odd group of numbers. [S.S.C CGL 12/12/2022 (2nd Shift)](NOTE :- Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits.)(a) 16 - 20 - 24(b) 23 - 27 - 31(c) 11 - 15 - 19(d) (12) - 14 - 18Correct Answer: (d) (12) - 14 - 18Solution:The pattern followed here is :(1st number + 4 = 2nd number) & (2nd number + 4 = 3rd number)(16 - 20 - 24) → 16 + 4 = 20 & 20 + 4 = 24 (23 - 27 - 31) → 23 + 4 = 27 & 27 + 4 = 31 (15 - 19 - 23) → 11 + 4 = 15 & 15 + 4 = 19But, (12 - 14 - 18) → 12 + 4 = 16 ≠ 14 & 14 + 4 = 18 Hence, (12 - 14 - 18) is the correct answer.Submit Quiz« Previous123456Next »
