SSC Stenographer - 18 Nov 2022 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q181

Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following set. (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.)

(137, 95, 67) (246, 204, 176)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. (199, 157, 129).

The logic used here is:

(137, 95, 67)

137 - 95 = 42

95 - 67 = 28

(246, 204, 176)

246 - 204 = 42

204 - 176 = 28

Similarly,

(199, 157, 129)

199 - 157 = 48

157 - 129 = 28

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
