SSC CGL - 4th March 2020 Shift 3 • Reasoning • Q76

Select the option in which the number set shares the same relationship as that shared by the given number set.   

(17, 24, 45)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e (12, 19, 40).

Understanding

The logic used here is;

Difference between 1st and 2nd number = 7

Difference between 2nd and 3rd number = 21

Given set: (17, 24, 45)

24 - 17 = 7

45 - 24 = 21

Option 1: (12, 19, 40)

19 - 12 = 7

40 - 19 = 21 

Option 2: (18, 23, 46)

23 - 18 = 5

46 - 23 = 23 

Option 3: (15, 20, 43)

20 - 15 = 5

43 - 20 = 23 

Option 4: (19, 26, 34)

26 - 19 = 7

34 - 26 = 8

Option 1 follows the same logic.

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
