Staff Selection Commission Combined Higher Secondary Level Exam
Question : Directions: Select the option in which the numbers share the same relationship in the set as that shared by the numbers in the given set. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their 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.) (8, 5, 39) (14, 11, 75)
Option 1: (12, 6, 70)
Option 2: (9, 5, 54)
Option 3: (11, 7, 74)
Option 4: (7, 4, 33)
Correct Answer: (7, 4, 33)
Solution : Given: (8, 5, 39); (14, 11, 75)
Add the first and the second number and multiply the resultant number by 3 to obtain the third number in the given set of numbers. ⇒ (8, 5, 39)→(8 + 5) × 3 = 13 × 3 = 39 ⇒ (14, 11, 75)→(14 + 11) × 3 = 25 × 3 = 75
Let's check the options –
First option: (12, 6, 70)→(12 + 6) × 3 = 18 × 3 = 54 ≠ 70 Second option: (9, 5, 54)→(9 + 5) × 3 = 14 × 3 = 42 ≠ 54 Third option: (11, 7, 74)→(11 + 7) × 3 = 18 × 3 = 54 ≠ 74 Fourth option: (7, 4, 33)→(7 + 4) × 3 = 11 × 3 = 33
So, only the fourth option follows the same pattern as followed by the given set of numbers. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
Question : Directions: From the given alternatives, select the word that can be formed using the letters of the given word. ENDEARMENT
Option 1: TENT
Option 2: TEMPER
Option 3: MEANS
Option 4: TENDER
Correct Answer: TENDER
Solution : Given: ENDEARMENT
Now, let's compare all the option words with the word ENDEARMENT – First option: TENT; The letter T appears only once in the word ENDEARMENT. But, in TENT, T appears two times. Therefore, all the letters of TENT are not present in the word ENDEARMENT. Second option: TEMPER; P is not present in the word ENDEARMENT. Therefore, all the letters of TEMPER are not present in the word ENDEARMENT. Third option: MEANS; S is not present in the word ENDEARMENT. Therefore, all the letters of MEANS are not present in the word ENDEARMENT. Fourth option: TENDER; All the letters of TENDER are present in the word ENDEARMENT.
So, from the above, only TENDER can be formed from the word ENDEARMENT. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Option 1: 5 : 8
Option 2: 5 : 4
Option 3: 4 : 5
Option 4: 8 : 5
Correct Answer: 8 : 5
Solution : 50% of A is equal to 80% of B ⇒ $\frac{50}{100}\times{\text{A}} = \frac{80}{100}\times{\text{B}}$ ⇒ 5A = 8B ⇒ A : B = 8 : 5 Hence, the correct answer is 8 : 5.
Question : Directions: In the following question, select the one which is different from the other three alternatives.
Option 1: 187 : 11
Option 2: 194 : 12
Option 3: 195 : 13
Option 4: 224 : 14
Correct Answer: 194 : 12
Solution : Let's check the options – First option: 187 : 11; 187 ÷ 11 = 17; 187 is divisible by 11. Second option: 194 : 12; 194 ÷ 12 = 16.17; 194 is not divisible by 12. Third option: 195 : 13; 195 ÷ 13 = 15; 195 is divisible by 13. Fourth option: 224 : 14; 224 ÷ 14 = 16; 224 is divisible by 14.
So, the second option is different from the other three options as 194 is not divisible by 12. Hence, the second option is correct.
Question : Directions: Find the missing number from the given responses.
Option 1: 42
Option 2: 45
Option 3: 58
Option 4: 54
Correct Answer: 54
Solution : Here, diagonally opposite numbers are thrice of the number (7, 14, and 18). Like, 21 = 7 × 3 And, 42 = 14 × 3 Similarly, 18 × 3 = 54
So, the missing number in the figure is 54. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
