SSC MTS 2022 PYQ-pattern questions

Showing 10 of the 16 PYQ-pattern questions in this set — freshly worded in that year's pattern, not the original questions. Answers and solutions open under each question.

  1. Q1 · Percentage

    A shopkeeper marks his goods 30% above the cost price but gives a discount of 15% on the marked price. What is his net profit percentage?

    • A. 10.5%
    • B. 12%
    • C. 13.5%
    • D. 15%
    Answer and solution

    Answer: A

    If CP = 100, MP = 130. After 15% discount, SP = 130 × 0.85 = 110.5. Profit = 10.5%.

  2. Q2 · Number System

    What is the sum of all odd numbers between 1 and 50?

    • A. 625
    • B. 650
    • C. 600
    • D. 675
    Answer and solution

    Answer: A

    There are 25 odd numbers from 1 to 49. Sum = n² = 25² = 625.

  3. Q3 · Algebra

    If 3x - 7 = 2x + 8, then what is the value of x?

    • A. 15
    • B. 12
    • C. 18
    • D. 10
    Answer and solution

    Answer: A

    3x - 7 = 2x + 8, solving gives 3x - 2x = 8 + 7, hence x = 15.

  4. Q4 · Time and Work

    15 men can complete a work in 20 days. After 10 days, 5 more men joined them. In how many more days will the work be completed?

    • A. 5 days
    • B. 6 days
    • C. 7.5 days
    • D. 8 days
    Answer and solution

    Answer: C

    Total work = 15 × 20 = 300 man-days. Work done in 10 days = 15 × 10 = 150. Remaining work = 150. Now 20 men work, so days = 150/20 = 7.5 days.

  5. Q5 · Odd One Out

    Select the odd one out from the given alternatives.

    • A. Square
    • B. Rectangle
    • C. Triangle
    • D. Circle
    Answer and solution

    Answer: D

    Square, Rectangle, and Triangle are all polygons with straight sides, whereas Circle is a curved shape. Hence, Circle is the odd one out.

    Select the option that will complete the following letter series: A, D, H, M, ?

    • A. P
    • B. R

    Answer and solution

    Answer: C

    The pattern is +3, +4, +5, +6: A+3=D, D+4=H, H+5=M, M+6=S. Therefore, the next letter is S.
