SSC CPO - 04 Oct 2023 - Shift 3 • Reasoning • Q155

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)
(1, 16, 3)  (21, 529, 2)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. (8, 100, 2).

The logic used here is:

(1, 16, 3) 

1 + 3 = 4

42 = 16

(21, 529, 2)

21 + 2 = 23

232 = 529

Similarly;

(8, 100, 2)

8 + 2 = 10

102 = 100

Hence, (8, 100, 2) is the correct answer.
