SSC CGL - 20 Aug 2021 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q80

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

(12, 121, 169)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. (17, 256, 324).

The logic used here is:

(12, 121, 169)

(12 - 1)2 = 112 = 121

(12 + 1)2 = 132 = 169

Similarly,

(17, 256, 324)

(17 - 1)2 = 162 = 256

(17 + 1)2 = 182 = 324

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
