SSC CPO 2022 PYQ — Question 192

SSC CPO - 10 Nov 2022 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q192

Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the given sets.

(NOTE : Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its 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.)

(17, 29, 46)

(24, 36, 60)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. (21, 33, 54)

The logic followed here is

(17, 29, 46) = 17 + 29 = 46

Similarly,

(24, 36, 60) = 24 + 36 = 60

Let us check all the options:

1. (36, 46, 81) = 36 + 46 = 82 ≠ 81

2. (29, 41, 64) = 29 + 41 = 70 ≠ 64

3. (21, 33, 54) = 21 + 33 = 54 = 54

4. (48, 52, 98) = 48 + 52 = 100 ≠ 98

Hence, (21, 33, 54) is the correct answer.
