This question was previously asked in
RRB NTPC 2015 CBT 1 Question Paper (29-Mar-2016) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is
47 : 65

Analogy Logic Identification

The question presents a number analogy: 32 : 13 :: ---- : ----. We need to identify the relationship between the digits of the first number (32) and the second number (13).

Let the first number be $N_1 = 32$. Its digits are 3 and 2.

Let the second number be $N_2 = 13$.

The relationship is found by squaring the digits of $N_1$ and summing them:

Calculation: ${3}^2 + {2}^2 = 9 + 4 = 13$.

Since ${3}^2 + {2}^2 = 13$, the rule is confirmed: The second number equals the sum of the squares of the digits of the first number.

Option Pair Verification

Now, we apply this rule to the given options:

  • Option 1: 51 : 36 Digits of 51 are 5, 1. ${5}^2 + {1}^2 = 25 + 1 = 26 \neq 36$.
  • Option 2: 83 : 121 Digits of 83 are 8, 3. ${8}^2 + {3}^2 = 64 + 9 = 73 \neq 121$.
  • Option 3: 71 : 81 Digits of 71 are 7, 1. ${7}^2 + {1}^2 = 49 + 1 = 50 \neq 81$.
  • Option 4: 47 : 65 Digits of 47 are 4, 7. ${4}^2 + {7}^2 = 16 + 49 = 65 = 65$.

Conclusion

Option 4 (47 : 65) is the correct missing pair because it follows the analogy rule.

    Passage –1 Low-end IoT (Internet of Things) devices are cheap commodity items: addressing security would add to the cost. This class of items is proliferating with new applications; many home appliances, thermostats, security and monitoring devices and personal convenience devices are part of the IoT. So are fitness trackers, certain medical implants and computer-like devices in automobiles. The IoT is expected to expand exponentially — but new security challenges are daunting.

  2. With the digital phenomenon restructuring most social sectors, it is little surprise that global trade negotiations are now eyeing the digital area in an attempt to pre-emptively colonise it. Big Data is freely collected or mined from developing countries, and converted into digital intelligence in developed countries. This intelligence begins to control different sectors and extract monopoly rents. A large foreign company providing cab service, for instance, is not a work of cars and drivers, it is digital intelligence about commuting, public transport, roads, traffic, city events, presonal behavioural characteristics of commuters and driver and so on.
