SSC CGL 2023 PYQ — Question 37

SSC CGL Tier II - 2 March 2023 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q37

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 /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)

(11, 33, 17), (18, 44, 21)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. (16, 43, 22).

The logic used here is:

(11, 33, 17)

11 + 17 = 28

28 + 5 = 33

(18, 44, 21)

18 + 21 = 39

39 + 5 = 44

Similarly,

(16, 43, 22)

16 + 22 = 38

38 + 5 = 43

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
