a) 56

b) 75

c) 89

d) 62

1) Answer (B)

Solution:

The logic here is

43 + 14 = 57

Second number is the sum of first number and 14.

Similarly,

61 + 14 = 75

$\therefore\ $61 is related to 75 in the same way 43 is related to 57.

Hence, the correct answer is Option B

c) 364

d) 168

2) Answer (A)

Solution:

The logic here is

11$^2$ = 121 $\longrightarrow\ $ $\text{first number}^2=\text{second number}$

Similarly,

18$^2$ = 324

$\therefore\ $18 is related to 324 in the same way 11 is related to 121.

c) 32

d) 44

3) Answer (B)

Solution:

The logic here is

3 x 9 = 27 $\longrightarrow\ $ $\text{first digit of first number}\times\text{second digit of first number}=\text{second number}$

Similarly,

5 x 3 = 15

$\therefore\ $53 is related to 15 in the same way 39 is related to 27.

Hence, the correct answer is Option B

L – 6 = F

A – 6 = U

K – 6 = E

Similarly,

F – 6 = Z

O – 6 = I

R – 6 = L

$\therefore\ $FOR is related to ZIL in the same way LAK is related to FUE.

Hence, the correct answer is Option D

I + 5 = N

N + 4 = R

K + 5 = P

Similarly,

M + 4 = Q

E + 5 = J

L + 4 = P

T + 5 = Y

$\therefore\ $MELT is related to QJPY in the same way RINK is related to VNRP.

Hence, the correct answer is Option C
