SSC CHSL - 13 April 2021 - Shift 3 • Reasoning • Q89

Select the option in which the numbers in the set share the same relationship as that shared by the numbers of the given set.

(5, 8, 338)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. (11, 8, 722).

Understanding

The logic used here is:

(5, 8, 338)

(338 ÷ (5 + 8)) = 338 ÷ 13 = 26

(5 + 8) × 2 = 26

Option 1: (9, 7, 256)

(256 ÷ (9 + 7)) = 256 ÷ 16 = 16

(9 + 7) × 2 = 32

This does not follow the logic.

Option 2: (14, 7, 441)

(441 ÷ (14 + 7)) = 441 ÷ 21 = 21

(14 + 7) × 2 = 42

This does not follow the logic.

Option 3: (7, 9, 445)

(445 ÷ (7 + 9)) = 445 ÷ 16 = 27.825

(7 + 9) × 2 = 32

This does not follow the logic.

Option 4: (11, 8, 722)

(722 ÷ (11 + 8)) = 722 ÷ 19 = 38

(11 + 8) × 2 = 38

This follows the logic.

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
