SSC Stenographer 2022 PYQ — Question 156

SSC Stenographer - 17 Nov 2022 - Shift 3 • Reasoning • Q156

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.)

(17, 31, 7) (18, 40, 11)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. (12, 34, 11).

The logic used here is:

(17, 31, 7)

31 - 17 = 14

14 ÷ 2 = 7

(18, 40, 11)

40 - 18 = 22

22 ÷ 2 = 11

Similarly,

(12, 34, 11)

34 - 12 = 22

22 ÷ 2 = 11

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
