SSC Stenographer - 17 Nov 2022 - Shift 3 • Reasoning • Q174

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

(72, 84, 42) (96, 108, 54)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. (88, 100, 50).

The logic used here is:

(72, 84, 42)

42 × 2 = 84

84 - 72 = 12

(96, 108, 54)

54 × 2 = 108

108 - 96 = 12

Similarly,

(88, 100, 50)

50 × 2 = 100

100 - 88 = 12

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
