Mixed Analogy Tests — Pick a Level and Start
Tap a level to see every test in it. Level 1 is set at real SSC CGL difficulty — start there the day you finish the concept. Level 2 is pitched above the exam, to push accuracy under pressure.
Level 1 SSC CGL Level Checking… View tests
Same difficulty as the real SSC CGL paper — one rule per question. Position sums of letter clusters; a letter to the square or cube of its position; letters written as their positions side by side; numbers turned into letters digit by digit; letter products such as P × S : 16 × 19; clusters shifted by a number with the number squared; halved and squared fractions; a symbol and its meaning; vowel and consonant counts; and letters written over letters. A steady score here means the chapter is exam-ready.
Level 2 Above SSC CGL Level Checking… View tests
Harder than the exam asks. Reverse positions (Z = 1); position sums multiplied by 2, 3 or 4; cube minus position; three-letter products and division; digit codes that are shifted and then reversed; clusters shifted with the number cubed; larger roots and fractions; punctuation marks and their meanings; and letters over letters built from the product of positions.
Mixed analogy joins letters and numbers in one term. Turn every letter into its position number first — A = 1 to Z = 26 — and most questions become simple arithmetic: a sum, a square, a cube or the digits written side by side.
Marks are lost in three places. The first is mis-reading the positions, which the EJOTY anchors (5, 10, 15, 20, 25) prevent. The second is doing only half the rule — in “KPE 2 : MRG 4” the letters move by 2 and the number is squared, and a wrong option always gets one of those right. The third is treating a symbol question as a word question: a white flag means surrender, not the colour white.
How Many Mixed Analogy Questions Are Asked in SSC CGL?
Analogy is one of the steadiest chapters in SSC CGL reasoning — usually two to three questions in every Tier I shift and a few more in Tier II Paper I. More than 400 analogy questions have appeared in SSC papers from 2010 to 2024, and they split into the five chapters below.
| Analogy chapter | Share of past SSC analogy questions |
|---|---|
| Word Analogy (meaning-based) | 29% |
| Letter Analogy (alphabet & letter clusters) | 27% |
| Number Analogy (pairs & multi-term) | 28% |
| Number-Set & Triad Analogy | 13% |
| Mixed Analogy (letter–number & coded) | 4% |
Shares are from SSC CGL, CHSL, MTS, Steno and CPO papers, 2010–2024. Counts in any one shift vary; practise all five chapters so no format surprises you.
What You Will Practice in the Mixed Analogy Chapter
Letters to numbers
- Position sums of clusters, plain, reversed (Z = 1) or multiplied
- A letter to the square, cube or cube minus position
- Positions written side by side
Numbers to letters
- Digits to letters, shifted or reversed
- Number products, sums and differences written as letters
- Letters over letters from digits, sums or products
Expressions and symbols
- Clusters with a number: shift by the number, square or cube it
- Fractions and roots: halving, squaring, cube roots
- Symbols and meanings; vowel and consonant counts
Facts worth memorising
| Item | What to remember |
|---|---|
| Anchor positions (EJOTY) | E = 5, J = 10, O = 15, T = 20, Y = 25 |
| Reverse position | 27 − position — A = 26, Z = 1 |
| Digit to letter | 1 = A, 2 = B … 9 = I |
| Side by side | GH → 7 and 8 → 78 |
| Squares and cubes | know 1–26² and 1–15³ for letter-power questions |
| Roots | √(n²) = n and ∛(n³) = n |
Convert first, then look for the operation — almost every mixed question is arithmetic once the letters are numbers.
The three mistakes that cost the most marks
- Getting half the rule. When a term has letters and a number, both parts change. Check both before choosing.
- Adding when the letters are written side by side. IK : 911 is 9 and 11 written together, not 9 + 11. Look at the size of the number to tell which.
- Reading the symbol literally. Symbols stand for ideas — a laurel wreath means victory, not a plant.
Solved Examples — SSC CGL Mixed Analogy Questions
How the Mixed Analogy Chapter Tests Work
- 25 questions per test, with a full question palette — answered, skipped, marked for review, not visited.
- Every question type in every level — the formats of this chapter are spread across the tests so no pattern is missed.
- Optional 15-minute timer — with the clock to build exam speed, without it while you are still learning the chapter.
- Marking: +2 correct, −0.5 wrong, 0 unattempted — the same scheme as the real paper.
- Solutions, shortcut tricks and concept notes open after you submit, question by question — every wrong option is explained too.
- English and हिंदी, chosen at the start of every test.
- Free with a TrickySSC account — sign in once with Google or your mobile number, and every test is open to you.
How to Prepare Mixed Analogy for SSC CGL
- Learn EJOTY and the reverse positions. Most mixed questions are a lookup plus one operation.
- Convert everything to numbers first. Letters over letters, clusters and products all become arithmetic.
- Check both parts of a two-part term. Letters and numbers change by different rules.
- Use the size of the number as a hint. A three- or four-digit number from two letters means they are written side by side or cubed, not added.
- For symbols, name the idea. Ask what the symbol stands for, not what it is made of or its colour.
- Do Level 1 untimed first, then with the 15-minute clock. Move to Level 2 once Level 1 is steady, and then check yourself on a previous year paper.

SSC CGL मिश्रित सादृश्य (Mixed Analogy) चैप्टर टेस्ट — हिंदी में
मिश्रित सादृश्य (MIXED ANALOGY) में अक्षर और संख्याएँ एक ही पद में होते हैं। पहले हर अक्षर को उसके स्थानीय मान में बदलें — A = 1 से Z = 26 — फिर अधिकांश प्रश्न साधारण गणित बन जाते हैं: योग, वर्ग, घन या अंकों को साथ-साथ लिखना।
जब पद में अक्षर और संख्या दोनों हों, तो दोनों भाग बदलते हैं — गलत विकल्प अक्सर केवल एक भाग सही करता है। प्रतीक वाले प्रश्नों में प्रतीक का अर्थ देखें, उसका रंग या बनावट नहीं।
TrickySSC पर इस अध्याय के सभी टेस्ट हिंदी में उपलब्ध हैं — प्रश्न, विकल्प, विस्तृत हल और शॉर्टकट ट्रिक सब हिंदी में। दो स्तर हैं: लेवल 1 (SSC CGL के स्तर का) और लेवल 2 (SSC CGL से कठिन)। प्रत्येक टेस्ट में 25 प्रश्न, वैकल्पिक 15 मिनट का टाइमर और +2 / −0.5 की वही मार्किंग जो असली परीक्षा में होती है।
