SSC CGL - 13 Sep 2024 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q85

Select the pair in which the numbers are related to each other in the same way as are the numbers in the given pairs. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding /deleting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)

3 : 25

4 : 62

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 5 : 123.

Logic: (1st number)3 - 2 = 2nd number.

3 : 25 → (3)3 - 2 = 27 - 2 = 25

4 : 62 → (4)3 - 2 = 64 - 2 = 62

Similarly, 5 : 123 → (5)3 - 2 = 125 - 2 = 123
