SSC CHSL Tier 1 2013 General Intelligence & Reasoning Questions with Solutions

Explanation

The relationship between the numbers is based on the sum of their individual digits:

For 45: The sum of the digits is 4 + 5 = 9. Subtracting 1 gives 9 - 1 = 8.

For 94: The sum of the digits is 9 + 4 = 13. Following the digit-sum logic, the corresponding value is 13.

Explanation

The pair Vamp: Vampire is the odd one out because the first term (Vamp) is a feminine noun denoting a seductive woman, while the second term (Vampire) is masculine or gender-neutral. This reverses the masculine-to-feminine ordering of the other pairs. Additionally, they do not form a direct, standard biological gender-counterpart relationship.

Explanation

Potato is a modified underground stem, specifically a tuber, whereas all the other options represent modified roots.

Explanation

The group USPM has alphabetical numerical positions of U = 21, S = 19, P = 16, and M = 13. The differences between successive letters are 21 - 19 = 2, 19 - 16 = 3, and 16 - 13 = 3. Since the decrement between the first two letters is 2, it violates the consistent difference of 3 observed in the standard pattern of the other groups.

Explanation

The arithmetic difference between the two numbers in this pair is 106 - 36 = 70, whereas the difference between the numbers in all other pairs is 30.

Explanation

In the given set (11-18-25), the numbers increase by a constant difference of 7: 18 - 11 = 7 25 - 18 = 7

The set (19-26-33) follows the exact same pattern with a common difference of 7: 26 - 19 = 7 33 - 26 = 7

Explanation

The correct sequence of agricultural practices begins with preparing the soil by ploughing (1). This is followed by planting the seeds, known as sowing (3). During the growth of the crops, unwanted plants are removed, which is weeding (2). Finally, once the crops are mature, they are cut and gathered during harvesting (4). This establishes the logical chronological order as 1, 3, 2, 4.
