Question 256

SSC GD Constable 2026• General Intelligence and Reasoning

Select the option that is related to the fourth number in the same way as the first number is related to the second number and fifth number is related to sixth number. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its 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)

2976 : 3008 :: ? : 7818 :: 3832 : 3864

  1. AOption (a)

    7782

  2. BOption (b)

    7788

  3. COption (c)

    7790

  4. DOption (d)

    7786

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

7786

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

Logic: First Number = Second Number − 32

For 2976 : 3008

⇒ 3008 − 32 = 2976.

For3832 : 3864

⇒ 3864 − 32 = 3832.

Applying the same logic to the second pair

? : 7818

⇒ 7818 − 32 = 7786.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

Question 257

SSC GD Constable 2026• General Intelligence and Reasoning

Select the option that is related to the fourth number in the same way as the first number is related to the second number and fifth number is related to sixth number. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its 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)

    830

  2. BOption (b)

    840

  3. COption (c)

    842

  4. DOption (d)

    837

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

830

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

Logic: First Number − Second Number = 317

For 883 : 566

⇒ 883 − 566 = 317.

For 619 : 302

⇒ 619 − 302 = 317.

Applying the same logic to the second pair

? : 513

⇒ ? − 513 = 317

⇒ ? = 513 + 317 = 830.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.
