SSC CHSL 2021 PYQ — Question 93

SSC CHSL - 5 Aug 2021 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q93

Select the option in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following set.

47 : 58 : 71

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 72 : 81 : 90.

Understanding

The logic used here is:

47 : 58 : 71

47 + (4 + 7) = 47 + 11 = 58

58 + (5 + 8) = 58 + 13 = 71

Similarly, we would check for all the options:

Option 1 : 68 : 80 : 88

68 + (6 + 8) = 68 + 14 = 82

Option 1 does not follow the same pattern.

Option 2: 72 : 81 : 90

72 + (7 + 2) = 72 + 9 = 81

81 + (8 + 1) = 81 + 9 = 90

It follows the pattern. So we will not check the further options.

Hence, 72 : 81 : 90 is the correct answer.
