SSC CHSL 2022 PYQ — Question 91

SSC CHSL - 3 June 2022 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q91

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 /deleting /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)

(50, 10, 15) (60, 10, 16)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. (80, 10, 18).

The logic used here is: Third  number - Second number = Difference of the two numbers × Second number

This will then give us the first number. 

(50, 10, 15) = 15 - 10 = 5, 5 × 10 = 50

(60, 10, 16) = 16 - 10 = 6, 6 × 10 = 60

Similarly,

(80, 10, 18) = 18 - 10 = 8 , 8 × 10= 80 

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.
