SSC Selection Post 2020 PYQ — Question 98

SSC Selection Post - Matriculation Level 2020 - 10 Nov 2020 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q98

Select the option that is related to the third number in the same way as the second number is related to the first number.

8: 145:: 11:?
 

 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2, i.e., 265.

Logic: The second number is calculated by squaring the first number and adding the square of the number one more than the first number, then summing these squares. 

8: 145

(8)2 = 64,  (8+1)2 = (9)2 = 81

64 + 81 = 145

Similarly, 11:265

(11)2 = 121,  (11+1)2 = (12)2 = 144

121 + 144 = 265
