SOLUTIONS- Verbal Reasoning Quiz for SSC Exams










S2. Ans.(d)
Total students = 45
Let girls = x , so boys = 2x
x + 2x = 45
x = 15 
Girls = 15
Boys = 30
Since Abhay’s rank is 15th and there are 9 girls ahead of him,
Students after Abhay = 45 - 15 = 30
No. of girls after him = 15 - 9 = 6
So No. of boys after him = 30 – 6 = 24

S3. Ans.(c)
Girls = 15
Boys = 30
Since Abhay’s rank is 15th and there are 9 girls ahead of him,
Students after Abhay = 45 - 15 = 30
No. of girls after him = 15 - 9 = 6












S5. Ans.(b)
In TEA, the alphabetical positions of T, E and A are 20, 5 and 1. The positions numbers are multiplied to get the code as 100. And then divided by the number of letters(3)
So, The code is 100/3.
Similarly, MAT can be coded as 13×1×20= 260.
The code is 260/3

S6. Ans.(d)
Explanation:
The girl is the wife of grandson of Aman's mother i.e., the girl is the wife of son of Aman. Hence, Aman is the father-in-law of the girl.

S7. Ans.(a)
5+3+2=10 ≠ 9
2+4+3=9
1+4+3=8
3+2+3=8

S8. Ans.(d)

S9. Ans.(c)
Sol. 7 + 5 = 12 By reversing the digits we get 21
10+5 = 15 similarly 51
8+9 = 17 similarly 71

S10. Ans.(d)

S11. Ans.(a)
Sol. The number of letters is the terms goes on leaving one letter after each set and the next set has one letter more than the previous one.

S12. Ans.(c)
Sol.1, 2, 5, 12, 27, 58, 121, ?
1 × 2 + 0 = 2
2 × 2 + 1 = 5
5 × 2 + 2 = 12
12 × 2 + 3 = 27
27 × 2 + 4 = 58
58 × 2 + 5 = 121
121 × 2 + 6 = 248
∴ Missing number = 121 × 2 + 6 = 248

S13. Ans.(a)
Sol.
The pattern is
nth term + (n + 1)thterm + (n + 1) = (n + 2)th term.
This,
1st term + 2nd term + 2 = 3rd term and so on
∴ missing term = 6th term
= 4th term + 5th term + 5
= 24 + 41 + 5 = 70

S14. Ans.(a)                      
Sol. The given numbers are sequence of prime numbers.

S15. Ans.(b)
Sol. The pattern is +1, + 1 + 2, + 1 + 2 + 3, and so on.
∴ missing number = 15 + (1 + 2 + 3 + 4) = 25
