SSC CGL - 19 July 2023 - Shift 4 • Reasoning • Q77

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.)
(194, 14, 4)
(527, 23, 5)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

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

(194, 14, 4): (4)2 = 16 = 16 - 2 = 14; (14)2 - 2 = 196 - 2 = 194

(527, 23, 5): (5)2 - 2 = 25 - 2 = 23; (23)2 - 2 = 529 - 2 = 527

Similarly, (2, 2, 2): (2)2 - 2 = 4 - 2 = 2; (2)2 - 2 = 4 - 2 = 2
