SSC CPO 2022 PYQ — Question 197

SSC CPO - 9 Nov 2022 - Shift 2 • 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.)

(18, 36, 60) (14, 28, 44)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. (22, 44, 76).

The logic used here is:

(18, 36, 60)

18 × 2 = 36

18 × 4 - 12 = 72 - 12 = 60 

(14, 28, 44)

14 × 2 = 28

14 × 4 - 12 = 56 - 12 = 44

Similarly;

(22, 44, 76)

22 × 2 = 44

22 × 4 - 12 = 88 - 12 = 76

Hence, (22, 44, 76) is the correct answer.
