SSC Stenographer 2022 PYQ — Question 161

SSC Stenographer - 17 Nov 2022 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q161

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.) 

(9, 11, 404) (4, 13, 370)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. (8, 12, 416).

The logic used here is:

(9, 11, 404)

92 = 81

112 = 121

81 + 121 = 202

202 × 2 = 404

(4, 13, 370)

42 = 16

132 = 169

16 + 169 = 185

185 × 2 = 370

Similarly,

(8, 12, 416)

82 = 64

122 = 144

64 + 144 = 208

208 × 2 = 416

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
