SSC CHSL 2019 PYQ — Question 81

SSC CHSL - 3rd July 2019 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q81

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

(11, 13, 288)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. (7, 11, 162)

Logic: (First term + Second term)2 / 2

(11, 13, 288)

(11 + 13)2 / 2

= 242 / 2

= 576 / 2 = 288

Check each option one by one:

(19, 23, 828)

(19 + 23)2 / 2

1764 / 2 = 882 is not equal to 828.

(3, 5, 31)

(3 + 5)2 / 2

64 / 2 = 32 is not equal to 31.

(7, 11, 162)

(7 + 11)2 / 2

324 / 2

162 = 162

We don't need to check further options.

Hence, the correct answer is (7, 11, 162).
