SSC CGL Undated PYQs

Question 1

Select the option that is related to the third number in the same way as the second
number is related to the first number.
13 : 1331 :: 17 : ?

Accepted Answer

The pattern is that the second number is the cube of the first number. So, 13 cubed is 2197, and 17 cubed is 4913. The given options do not match this pattern, indicating a potential error in the question or options provided, or a different pattern is expected. However, if we assume the question meant 11:1331, then the pattern is (number+2)^3. So, for 17, it would be (17+2)^3 = 19^3 = 6859. Given the options, there might be a typo in the question itself, as 13^3 is 2197, not 1331. If we assume the first pair is 11 : 1331, then the pattern is (number+2)^3. So for 17, it would be (17+2)^3 = 19^3 = 6859. None of the options match this. Let's re-examine the given pair 13 : 1331. If 1331 is 11^3, then the relationship is (first number - 2)^3. Applying this to 17, we get (17 - 2)^3 = 15^3 = 3375. This matches option 3.

Question 13

Select the correct option that indicates the arrangement of the given words in the
order in which they appear in an English dictionary.
1. Serenity
2. Serpent
3. Serviceable
4. Sericulture
5. Serotonin

Accepted Answer

To arrange words in dictionary order, compare them letter by letter from left to right. The first differing letter determines the order. All words start with 'Ser', so we compare the fourth letter: 'i' (Sericulture), 'e' (Serenity, Serpent, Serviceable, Serotonin). Among those starting with 'Sere', 'n' (Serenity), 'p' (Serpent), 'v' (Serviceable), 't' (Serotonin) are compared. This leads to the order: Sericulture, Serenity, Serpent, Serotonin, Serviceable.
