SSC Stenographer - 15 Sep 2026 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q52

A pair of numbers or symbols is given that follows a particular logic or pattern. Examine the relationship between them and select the option that reflects the same kind of relationship in its pair.
36 : 109 :: 25 : ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The pattern followed here is:
First number × 3 + 1 = Second number
• 36 × 3 + 1 = 108 + 1 = 109
Similarly, applying the same pattern to the next pair:
• 25 × 3 + 1 = 75 + 1 = 76
Thus, the correct option is (C).
