SSC Stenographer - 17 Nov 2022 - Shift 3 • Reasoning • Q191

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.)

(21, 63, 189) (19, 57, 171)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

 The correct answer is option 2 i.e. (23, 69, 207).

The logic used here is:

(21, 63, 189)

189 - 63 = 126

126 ÷ 6 = 21

(19, 57, 171)

171 - 57 = 114

114 ÷ 6 = 19

Similarly,

(23, 69, 207)

207 - 69 = 138

138 ÷ 6 = 23

Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
