Question 13
Select the option that is related to the third number in the same way as the second number is related to the first number. 4 : 8 ::25 : ___ ?
The relationship between the first pair of numbers (4 and 8) is that 8 is twice as large as 4. To find a number related to 25 in the same way, we can multiply 25 by 2:
25 * 2 = 50
So, the correct answer is:
D. 125

Question 16
Select the option that is related to the third term in the same way as the second term is related to the first term. 12 : 145 :: 8 : __ ?
Let's analyze the relationship between the first pair (12 and 145) to find the pattern:
12 * 12 + 1 = 145
Now, let's apply the same pattern to the second number, 8:
8 * 8 + 1 = 65
So, the correct answer is:
C. 65

Question 17
Select the option that is related to the third term in the same way as the first term is related to the second term. DFIM : WURN :: CMHV:____ ?
In the English alphabets, letter A comes first and letter Z comes last.
Counting from letter A is counting in the foward direction, while counting from letter Z is counting from the backward direction.
Using this analogy, we can deduce that
- D is the 4th alphabet from the forward direction, while W is the 4th alphabet from the backward direction.
- F is the 6th alphabet from the forward direction, while U is the 6th alphabet from the backward direction.
- I is the 9th alphabet from the forward direction, while R is the 9th alphabet from the backward direction.
- M is the 13th alphabet from the forward direction, while N is the 13th alphabet from the reverse direction
Now, let's apply the same pattern to the second word (CMHV):
- C is the 3rd alphabet from the forward direction, while X is the 3rd alphabet from the backward direction.
- M is the 13th alphabet from the forward direction, while Nis the 13th alphabet from the backward direction.
- H is the 8th alphabet from the forward direction, while S is the 8th alphabet from the backward direction.
- V is the 5th alphabet from the forward direction, while E is the 5th alphabet from the reverse direction
- C becomes X
- M becomes N
- H becomes S
- V becomes E
So, the correct answer is:
A. XNSE

Question 18
Select the number-pair in which the two numbers are related in the same way as are the two numbers of the given number pair: 1:8 ?
The relationship between the numbers in the given number pair (1:8) suggests that the second number is the cube of the first number. Specifically, = 1, and 8 is = 2 cubed.
Now, let's apply the same relationship to the options:
A. 9:36 - 9 is , and 36 is , not a cube relationship.
B. 6:30 - 6 is not the cube of 30.
C. 8:27 - 8 is , and 27 is , which follows the same cube relationship as the given pair.
D. 16:49 - 16 is , and 49 is , not a cube relationship.
So, the correct answer is:
C. 8:27

Question 19
Select the option that is related to the third term in the same way as the second term is related to the first term. 2264 : 7241 :: 3129 : ___ ?
The pattern here is to add the digits within each number:
2264: 2+2+6+4 = 14
7241: 7+2+4+1 = 14
Following this pattern:
3129: 3+1+2+9 = 15
So, the answer is A. 6342, where 6+3+4+2 also equals 15.

Question 20
Select the set of numbers that is similar to the following set of numbers. (23,136,45) ?
Let's try to figure out the pattern in the given set of numbers (23, 136, 45):
23 x 6 = 138, which is close to the middle number, 136.
Now, let's apply the same pattern to the options:
A. 19 x 6 = 114
B. 31 x 6 = 186
C. 17 x 6 = 102
D. 29 x 6 = 174
Among the options, the closest number to 136 (the middle number in the original set) is 114, which corresponds to option A.
So, the correct answer is A. (19, 96, 29).
