SSC CGL PYQ 2024 GENERAL INTELLIGENCE
Q1–10 of 30Three statements are given, followed by three conclusions numbered I, II and III. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.
Statements:
All pages are diaries.
Some diaries are books.
All books are notebooks.
Conclusions:
I. No page is a notebook.
II. All pages are notebooks.
III. All diaries being notebooks is a possibility
Correct option (C)
Pages are diaries, and some diaries are notebooks, but this does not mean all pages are or are not notebooks. It can be possible that all diaries are notebooks, so only conclusion III follows.
The position of how many letters will remain unchanged if all the letters in the word BINDER are arranged in English alphabetical order?
Correct option (C)
The original word is BINDER. When arranged alphabetically, it becomes B D E I N R. Comparing positions, B (1st) and R (6th) stay in the same place. So, two letters remain unchanged.
In a certain code language,
‘A + B’ means ‘A is the mother of B’
‘A − B’ means ‘A is the brother of B’
‘A × B’ means ‘A is the wife of B’ and
‘A ÷ B’ means ‘A is the father of B’.
Based on the above, how is 4 related to 2 if ‘4 + 3 ÷ 2 ÷ 1 − 5’?
Correct option (B)
4 + 3 means 4 is the mother of 3.
3 ÷ 2 means 3 is the father of 2.
So, 4 is the mother of 2’s father.
Hence, 4 is Father’s mother of 2.
Select the number from the given options to complete the series 25, 30, 40, 55, 75, ___
Correct option (D)
Add increasing numbers: +5, +10, +15, +20
Next add +25
75 + 25 = 100
Select the word-pair that best represents a similar relationship to the one expressed in the pair of words given below.
(The words must be considered as meaningful English words and must NOT be related to each other based on the number of letters/number of consonants/vowels in the word)
Virus : Parasite
Correct option (B) Amaltas : Tree
Virus is a type of parasite that depends on a host. So the relation is “X is a kind of Y.” Amaltas is a kind of tree. Other options do not follow this category relation. Hence, the correct answer is Amaltas: Tree.
Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the given sets. (213, 157), (185, 129)
(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 /deleting /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)
Correct option (C) (164, 108)
From the given sets:
213 − 157 = 56 and 185 − 129 = 56.
So, the rule is subtract 56 from the first number.
In option 3, 164 − 108 = 56.
Which two signs should be interchanged to make the following equation correct?
247 ÷ 13 + 16 × 3 − 148 = 119
Correct option : (B) - and +
First solve parts: 247 ÷ 13 = 19 and 16 × 3 = 48.
Interchange − and +, the equation becomes: 19 − 48 + 148.
Now calculate: 19 − 48 = −29, and −29 + 148 = 119
In a certain code language, 'FIVE' is written as '12184410' and FOUR is written as '12304236'. How will 'THREE' be written in that language?
Correct option ; (D) 4016361010
Explanation :
Take each letter’s position in the alphabet and multiply by 2.
This rule works for FIVE and FOUR.
THREE becomes 40-16-36-10-10.
So the answer is 4016361010.
Select the option that represents the letters that when placed from left to right in the blanks below will complete the given letter series.
N _ B A N A _ A _ A N A N A B _ N A N A B A _ A N A
Correct option : (D) ANBAN
Explanation: Look at the visible pattern first, don’t guess.
The series clearly repeats N A B A N A again and again.
So the full pattern is NABANA | NABANA | NABANA | NABANA.
Placing A N B A N in the blanks keeps this repetition intact.
Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.
Statements: Some boxes are cartons. All cartons are papers. Some cartons are utensils.
Conclusion (I): No box is a utensil.
Conclusion (II): Some papers are utensils.
Correct option : (C) Only conclusion (II) follows
Explanation :
From the statements: Some cartons are utensils and all cartons are papers.
So, those cartons which are utensils are also papers.
Hence, some papers are utensils → Conclusion II follows.
Conclusion I says no box is a utensil, but we only know some boxes are cartons—it’s not denied that a box can be a utensil.
