SSC CPO 2024 PYQ — Question 187

SSC CPO - 27 June 2024 - Shift 3 • Reasoning • Q187

In the given number-pairs, the second number is obtained by applying certain mathematical operations to the first number. Select the number-pair in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the given number-pairs. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g., 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)

(45, 88)

(26, 50)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. (22, 42).

Logic: (First number × 2) - 2 = Second number.

As, (45, 88) 

45 × 2 = 90 - 2 = 88

And, (26, 50) 

26 × 2 = 52 - 2 = 50

Similarly, (22, 42) 

22 × 2 = 44 - 2 = 42.
