SSC Stenographer - 18 Nov 2022 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q197

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

(52, 34, 43) (61, 33, 47)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. (58, 26, 42).

The logic used here is:

(52, 34, 43)

52 + 34 = 86

86 ÷ 2 = 43

(61, 33, 47)

 61 + 33 = 94

94 ÷ 2 = 47  

Similarly,

(58, 26, 42)

 58 + 26 = 84

84 ÷ 2 = 42

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
