SSC CGL 2023 PYQ — Question 89

SSC CGL - 14 July 2023 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q89

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.)

(31, 47, 35)

(51, 67, 55)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. (13, 29, 17)

The logic used here is:

(31, 47, 35) = 47 - 31 = 16, 47 - 35 = 12

(51, 67, 55) = 67 - 51 = 16, 67 - 55 = 12

Similarly,

(13, 29, 17) = 29 - 13 = 16, 29 - 17 = 12
