SSC GD Constable (English) - 11 Jan 2023 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q77

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

(6, 135, 9) (13, 261, 16)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. (7, 216, 17).

The logic used here is:

(6, 135, 9)

6 + 9 = 15

15 × 9 = 135

(13, 261, 16)

13 + 16 = 29

29 × 9 = 261

Similarly,

(7, 216, 17)

7 + 17 = 24

24 × 9 = 216

Hence, the correct answer is (7, 216, 17).
