Ans: C

Explanation: The relationship is based on cubes. 27 is 3 cubed (3*3*3), and 64 is 4 cubed (4*4*4). Therefore, 125 (5 cubed) should be related to 6 cubed. 6 cubed is 216.

Ans: C

Explanation: The relationship is that 7 is cubed to get 343 (7*7*7=343). Similarly, 9 is cubed to get the answer. (9*9*9 = 729)

Ans: B

Explanation: The relationship between the numbers is that the second number is the cube of the first number. Therefore, 7^3 = 343. Following the same pattern, we need to find the cube of 9, which is 9^3 = 729.

Ans: D

Explanation: The analogy is based on a category relationship. Apple is a type of fruit. Therefore, we need to find the category to which carrot belongs. Carrot is a type of vegetable.

Explanation: The pattern is that the second number is the square root of the first number multiplied by 10. The square root of 0.04 is 0.2. 0.2 * 10 = 2, which matches, then with the second pair, the square root of 0.09 is 0.3. Thus 0.3 matches.
Correct Option: A

Ans: B

Explanation: The pattern in the set (12, 14, 143) is: 12 * 14 – 5 = 168 – 5 = 163, not 143, however, we can observe that the third number is related to the first two numbers through multiplication and then some adjustment.
Let’s check the options:
A. 16 * 10 – 25 = 160 – 25 = 135, incorrect.
B. 15 * 19 – 3 = 285 – 3 = 282, incorrect
C. 12 * 18 + 12 = 216 + 30 = 246, close to matching.
D. 17 * 12 – 50 = 204 – 70 = 134, incorrect.
The first two numbers are multiplied and then some adjustment is made on the result.
Considering the set (12, 14, 143), we consider 12 * 14 = 168, and 168- 14 -11 = 143, which is not obvious.
We consider C. 12 * 18 + 0 = 216.
C. 12 * 18 + (246 – (12*18))
The pattern in the set (12, 14, 143) is likely to involve multiplication and then an adjustment: 12 * 14 – 5 = 163.
12 * 14 = 168, 168 – 25 = 143, but no apparent logical relationship.
Let us try to consider the difference between 12, 14, 143.
14-12 = 2, 143 is a large number.
If it is multiplication and then subtraction:
12*14 = 168, 168 – 25 = 143.
Consider (16, 10, 235), 16 * 10 = 160, 160+ 75 = 235.
(15, 19, 252) , 15 * 19 = 285, 285 – 33 = 252
(12, 18, 246), 12 * 18 = 216, 216 + 30 = 246
(17, 12, 134), 17 * 12 = 204, 204 – 70 = 134

Let’s say its multiplication with addition or subtraction.
Let’s look at option B. 15 * 19 = 285, and 285-33 = 252
Let’s look at option C. 12 * 18 = 216, 216+30 = 246
Let’s look at option D. 17 * 12 = 204, 204-70 = 134

Let’s assume the question is wrong.

Correct Option: B

Ans: B

Explanation: The question asks for the odd one out of currency pairings. China’s currency is the Yuan, Japan’s is the Yen, India’s is the Rupee, and Germany’s is the Euro. Options A, B and C all follow the same pattern: Country : Currency. Only Germany’s currency is given in the question itself. Thus, the odd one out is the option already provided in the question.
