SSC Stenographer 2022 PYQ — Question 177

SSC Stenographer - 18 Nov 2022 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q177

Select the set in which the numbers are NOT related in the same way as the numbers of the given 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.)

(16, 11, 377)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. (12, 15, 367).

The logic used here is:

(16, 11, 377)

162 + 112 = 256 + 121 = 377

Option 1: (12, 15, 367)

122 + 152 = 144 + 225 = 369

This does not follow the logic.

Hence, option 1 is the odd one out.
