SSC CGL 2023 PYQ — Question 84

SSC CGL - 14 July 2023 - Shift 4 • Reasoning • Q84

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.)

(4, 6, 8) (6, 8, 10)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. (8, 12, 16)

The logic used here is:

(4, 6, 8) = (6 × 2) - 4 = 12 - 4 = 8

(6, 8, 10) = (8 × 2) - 6 = 16 - 6 = 10

Similarly,

(8, 12, 16) = (12 × 2) - 8 = 24 - 8 = 16
