SSC GD 2025 PYQs

Question 1

What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the given series based on the English alphabetical order?EHO HJP KLQ ? QPS

Accepted Answer

The pattern for the first letters is +3 (E→H→K→N). The pattern for the second letters is +2 (H→J→L→N). The pattern for the third letters is +1 (O→P→Q→R). Therefore, the missing term is NNR.

Question 2

What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the given series?10 11 13 17 25 ?

Accepted Answer

The differences between consecutive numbers are 1, 2, 4, 8. This is a geometric progression (doubling each time). The next difference should be 16. So, 25 + 16 = 41.

Question 3

E, F, G, H, K, L and N are sitting around a circular table facing the centre (but not necessarily in the same order). Only two people sit between H and G when counted from the right of H. Only three people sit between L and N when counted from the right of N. G sits to the immediate right of N. K sits to the immediate right of E. How many people sit between F and E when counted from the left of F?

Accepted Answer

Place N, then G to its immediate right. Use the H-G and L-N conditions to place H and L. Finally, place K and E. Count people between F and E from F's left.

Question 4

In a certain code language,'A + B' means 'A is the daughter of B','A - B' means 'A is the brother of B','A × B' means 'A is the wife of B' and'A ÷ B' means 'A is the father of B'.If 'P + Q ÷ R × S - T', then based on the above, how is P related to T?

Accepted Answer

P + Q means P is Q's daughter. Q ÷ R means Q is R's father. R × S means R is S's wife. S - T means S is T's brother. So, P is Q's daughter, Q is R's father, R is S's wife, and S is T's brother. Thus, P is T's brother's wife's sister.

Question 5

What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the given series?673 670 664 655 643 ?

Accepted Answer

The differences between consecutive numbers are -3, -6, -9, -12. This is an arithmetic progression with a common difference of -3. The next difference should be -15. So, 643 - 15 = 628.

Question 6

In a certain code language, ‘get the book’ is coded as ‘as pg nk’ and ‘book is good’ is coded as ‘nk ml bt’. How is ‘book’ coded in the given language?

Accepted Answer

Identify the common word 'book' in both phrases. The common code 'nk' appears in both coded sequences, thus 'book' is coded as 'nk'.

Question 7

What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the given series?208 190 163 127 82 ?

Accepted Answer

The differences between consecutive numbers are -18, -27, -36, -45. This is an arithmetic progression with a common difference of -9. The next difference should be -54. So, 82 - 54 = 28.

Question 8

Seven people P, Q. R, S, T, U and V are sitting in a straight line facing the north (but not necessarily in the same order). V is sitting to the immediate right of Q and the immediate left of R. P is sitting to the immediate right of R and the immediate left of S. U is sitting second to the right of S. U is sitting at one of the ends of the line. Who is sitting between S and U?

Accepted Answer

Arrange the people based on given clues: Q-V-R-P-S. Since U is at an end and second right of S, the order is Q-V-R-P-S-T-U. T sits between S and U.

Question 9

In a certain code language, 'JAMB' is coded as '5139' and 'BALM' is coded as '9521'. What is the code for 'L' in the given code language?

Accepted Answer

Compare the letters and codes in 'JAMB' (5139) and 'BALM' (9521). The common letters are A, B, M and common codes are 5, 1, 9. The unique letter in 'BALM' is 'L' and the unique code is '2'. Therefore, the code for 'L' is 2.

Question 10

A dice has its faces marked by letters K, A, S, N, T and I. Two positions of the same dice are shown in the given figures. Which face is opposite to face K?

Accepted Answer

Identify the common face (I) in both dice. Move clockwise from I in both figures. The letters opposite each other will be K-A and S-N. Thus, A is opposite K.

Question 11

SBFU is related to VDHX in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, HOXA is related to KQZD. To which of the given options is ZEPI related, following the same logic?

Accepted Answer

The pattern adds specific values to the alphabetical positions of the letters. The first and last letters are shifted by +3, while the two middle letters are shifted by +2. Applying this logic (Z+3, E+2, P+2, I+3) results in CGRL.

Question 12

In a certain code language.'X @ C' means 'X is the daughter of C','X $ C' means ' X is the husband of C','X = C' means ' X is the mother of C' and'X * C' means 'X is the father of C'.Based on the above, how is J related to N if 'N @ E $ J @ S'?

Accepted Answer

From N @ E, N is E's daughter. From E $ J, E is J's husband, so J is E's wife. Thus, J is N's mother. The last part J @ S is irrelevant.

Question 13

Three of the following four letter-clusters are alike in a certain way and thus form a group. Which is the letter-cluster that does NOT belong to that group? (Note: The odd one out is not based on the number of consonants/vowels or their positions in the letter-cluster.)

Accepted Answer

The pattern is +4, +2 for CGI (C+4=G, G+2=I), PTV (P+4=T, T+2=V), and EIK (E+4=I, I+2=K). GLM follows +5, +1 (G+5=L, L+1=M), making it the odd one out.

Question 14

What should come in place of '?' in the given series based on the English alphabetical order?TKF UJG VIH WHI ?

Accepted Answer

Analyze each letter's progression: T(+1)U(+1)V(+1)W(+1)X. K(-1)J(-1)I(-1)H(-1)G. F(+1)G(+1)H(+1)I(+1)J. Thus, the next term is XGJ.

Question 15

In a certain code language, 'BASE' is coded as '8970' and 'ASET' is coded as '0697'. What is the code for 'T' in the given code language?

Accepted Answer

Compare the codes for 'BASE' (8970) and 'ASET' (0697). The common letters are 'A', 'S', 'E'. 'E' is 7 in both. 'A' is 0 in both. 'S' is 9 in both. In 'ASET', 'T' is the remaining letter, and '6' is the remaining digit. So, T = 6.

Question 16

A dice has its faces marked by letters C, L, A, U, T and E. Two positions of the same dice are shown in the given figures. Which face is opposite to face A?

Accepted Answer

Identify the common face (L) in both dice. Rotate clockwise from L in both figures. L-A-C and L-U-T. Thus, A is opposite U, and C is opposite T. The remaining face E must be opposite L.

Question 17

Seven people A, B, C, D, E, F and G are sitting in a straight line facing the north(but not necessarily in the same order). G and C are sitting at the ends of the line not necessarily in the same order. F is sitting to the immediate right of G and the immediate left of D. E is sitting to the immediate right of D. A is sitting second to the right of E. B is sitting second to the left of C. Who is sitting between B and C?

Accepted Answer

Place G and C at ends. F is right of G, left of D (G F D). E is right of D (G F D E). A is second right of E (G F D E _ A). B is second left of C (_ B _ C). Combining gives G F D E B A C. A is between B and C.

Question 18

Seven people, E, F, G, H, K, L and N, are sitting in a row facing north (but not necessarily in the same order). No one sits to the left of H. Only four people sit between H and F. Only three people sit to the right of N. K sits to the immediate left of L. G is not an immediate neighbour of N. Who sits fourth to the left of G?

Accepted Answer

H is at the leftmost end. F is 5th from H. N has 3 people to its right. K is immediately left of L. G is not next to N. Deduce the full arrangement: H E K L F N G. Fourth to the left of G is L.

Question 19

Find the correct alternative that when filled in the blanks in the same sequence will make the series logically complete._DGIK_JLNJ_OQMP_TPS_

Accepted Answer

The series consists of five groups of four letters. The pattern is that each corresponding letter in the next group is three positions ahead in the alphabet. For example, K is +3 from H, N is +3 from K, etc. Applying this +3 rule to each position fills the blanks with H, G, M, R, and U.

Question 20

What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the given series?173 151 130 110 91 ?

Accepted Answer

The differences between consecutive numbers are -22, -21, -20, -19. Following this pattern, the next difference should be -18. So, 91 - 18 = 73.
