SSC CGL 2023 PYQ — Question 84

SSC CGL - 17 July 2023 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q84

Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the number 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)

(26, 14, 170) (31, 7, 18)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. (21, 9, 60)

The logic used here is:

(26, 14, 170) = 170 + 26 = 196, √196 = 14

(31, 7, 18) = 31 + 18 = 49, √49 = 7

Similarly, (21, 9, 60) = 21 + 60 = 81, √81 = 9
