SSC GD 2025 PYQs

Question 1

SBCF is related to RADG in a certain way. In the same way, NVMO is related to MUNP. To which of the following is GUAX related, following the same logic?

Accepted Answer

The logic is to subtract 1 from the position of the first two letters and add 1 to the position of the last two letters. G(-1) -> F, U(-1) -> T, A(+1) -> B, X(+1) -> Y. Thus, GUAX becomes FTBY.

Question 2

What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the given series?878 880 884 890 898 ?

Accepted Answer

The differences between consecutive numbers are +2, +4, +6, +8. The next difference should be +10. So, 898 + 10 = 908.

Question 3

In a certain code language, 'can I go' is coded as 'pr nt gs' and 'he can swim' is coded as 'li ed pr'. How is 'can' coded in the given language?

Accepted Answer

Identify the common word 'can' in both phrases. The common code 'pr' appears in both coded sequences. Thus, 'can' is coded as 'pr'.

Question 4

Seven people L, M, N, O, P, Q and R are sitting in a straight line facing the north (but not necessarily in the same order). M is sitting to the immediate left of P. O is sitting to the immediate left of Q. R is sitting to the immediate right of P and the immediate left of L. N is sitting to the immediate right of L and the immediate left of O. Who is sitting second to the left of N?

Accepted Answer

Arrange the people based on the given clues: M-P, P-R-L, L-N-O, O-Q. Combining these gives M-P-R-L-N-O-Q. N is at the 5th position. Second to the left of N is R.

Question 5

In a certain code language, ‘BIGS’ is coded as ‘4593’ and ‘SING’ is coded as ‘9432’. What is the code for ‘N’ in the given code language?

Accepted Answer

By comparing 'BIGS' (4593) and 'SING' (9432), we find 'I' is 9 and 'G' is 3. In 'SING', 'N' is the last letter, corresponding to the last digit '2'.

Question 6

What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the given series?79 72 58 37 9 ?

Accepted Answer

The differences between consecutive numbers are -7, -14, -21, -28. This is an arithmetic progression with a common difference of -7. The next difference should be -35. So, 9 - 35 = -26.

Question 7

What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the given series?65 86 114 149 191 ?

Accepted Answer

Find the differences between consecutive numbers: 21, 28, 35, 42. This is an arithmetic progression with a common difference of 7. The next difference is 49. So, 191 + 49 = 240.

Question 8

What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the given series?83 95 108 122 137 ?

Accepted Answer

The series has increasing differences: +12, +13, +14, +15. The next difference should be +16. So, 137 + 16 = 153.

Question 9

What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the given series?4 6 10 18 34 ?

Accepted Answer

The pattern is that the difference between consecutive numbers doubles each time: 2, 4, 8, 16. So, the next difference is 32. Adding 32 to 34 gives 66.

Question 10

REMY is related to VHOZ in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, ZFHU is related to DIJV. To which of the given options is LBSO related, following the same logic?

Accepted Answer

The pattern adds +4, +3, +2, and +1 to the positions of the first, second, third, and fourth letters respectively. Applying this to LBSO: L(12)+4=P(16), B(2)+3=E(5), S(19)+2=U(21), O(15)+1=P(16). Thus, the answer is PEUP.

Question 11

MLTA is related to QHXW in a certain way based on the English alphabetical order. In the same way, LNVB is related to PJZX. To which of the given options is CWON related, following the same logic?

Accepted Answer

The pattern is +4, -4, +4, -4 for each letter. Applying this to CWON: C+4=G, W-4=S, O+4=S, N-4=J. Thus, CWON becomes GSSJ.

Question 12

P is the sister of R. R is the father of Q. S is the wife of Q. T is the daughter of S. How is P related to T?

Accepted Answer

P is R's sister. R is Q's father. So P is Q's paternal aunt. Q is T's father (S is Q's wife, T is S's daughter). Thus, P is T's paternal grandfather's sister.

Question 13

What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the given series?101 111 122 134 147 ?

Accepted Answer

The differences between consecutive terms are +10, +11, +12, +13. Following this pattern, the next difference should be +14. So, 147 + 14 = 161.

Question 14

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

Accepted Answer

Identify common faces in both dice positions. 'A' is common. Moving clockwise from 'A' in both, we get A-E-T and A-L-O. Thus, E is opposite to L, and T is opposite to O. The remaining face 'R' must be opposite to 'A'.

Question 15

What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the given series?666 676 687 699 712 ?

Accepted Answer

The differences between consecutive terms are +10, +11, +12, +13. Following this pattern, the next difference should be +14. So, 712 + 14 = 726.

Question 16

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

Accepted Answer

Identify common faces in both dice positions. Here, 'N' is common. Rotate clockwise from 'N' in both to find opposite pairs: N-L-B and N-I-G. Thus, B is opposite E.

Question 17

The position(s) of how many letters will remain unchanged if each of the letters in the word SYMPHONY is arranged in the English alphabetical order?

Accepted Answer

Arrange SYMPHONY alphabetically: H, M, N, O, P, S, Y. Compare with original: S, Y, M, P, H, O, N, Y. Only 'Y' at the last position remains unchanged.

Question 18

In a certain code language, 'BSGN' is coded as '5-22-10-17' and 'TAUE' is coded as '23-4-24-8'. How is 'PJDQ' coded in the given language?

Accepted Answer

Each letter's positional value is increased by 3. For PJDQ (16, 10, 4, 17), adding 3 to each gives 19, 13, 7, 20. Thus, the code is 19-13-7-20.

Question 19

In a certain code language 'PGMS' is coded as '9-18-12-6' and 'TBRX' is coded as '5-23 7-1'. What is the code for 'KAVO' in the given language?

Accepted Answer

The pattern is: each letter is coded by the numerical position of its opposite letter in the alphabet. P (16) -> K (11) -> 27-11=16. G (7) -> T (20) -> 27-20=7. M (13) -> N (14) -> 27-14=13. S (19) -> H (8) -> 27-8=19. So, KAVO becomes 14-24-3-10.

Question 20

Six friends E, F, G, R, S and T are sitting around a circular table facing the centre (but not necessarily in the same order). S sits second to the right of F. F sits second to the right of G. Only F sits between R and E. E is an immediate neighbour of S. How many people sit between T and R when counted from the right of R?

Accepted Answer

Arrange the friends based on the given clues: S is 2nd right of F, F is 2nd right of G. F is between R and E. E is next to S. This places T. Counting right from R, T is three places away.
