SSC CGL - 27 July 2023 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q90

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

(39, 65) (63, 105)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. (96, 160).

The logic used here is:

(39, 65) → (39 × 2) - (39 ÷ 3) = 78 - 13 = 65

(63, 105) → (63 × 2) - (63 ÷ 3) = 126 - 21 = 105

Similarly, (96, 160) → (96 × 2) - (96 ÷ 3) = 192 - 32 = 160
