SSC CPO 2022 PYQ — Question 197

SSC CPO - 9 Nov 2022 - Shift 3 • Reasoning • Q197

Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the given sets.

(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 /subtracting /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)

(11, 10, 21) (14, 6, 160)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. (19, 12, 217).

The logic used here is:

(11, 10, 21)

11 + 10 = 21

11 - 10 = 1

21 × 1 = 21; and 

(14, 6, 160)

14 + 6 = 20

14 - 6 = 8

20 × 8 = 160

Similarly;

(19, 12, 217)

19 + 12 = 31

19 - 12 = 7

31 × 7 = 217

Hence, (19, 12, 217) is the correct answer.
