SSC CGL 2023 PYQ — Question 90

SSC CGL - 20 July 2023 - Shift 4 • Reasoning • Q90

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

(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its 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)

(300, 100, 100)

(88, 66, 11)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. (44, 22, 11).

Logic: First no. - Second no. ÷ 2 = Third no.

(300, 100, 100) →  (300 - 100) ÷ 2 = 100

(88, 66, 11) → (88 - 66) ÷ 2 = 11

Now, checking the options,

Option (1): (60, 40, 20) → (60 - 40) ÷ 2 = 10 ≠ 20

Option (2): (44, 22, 11) → (44 - 22) ÷ 2 = 11

Option (3): (90, 50, 70) → (90 - 50) ÷ 2 = 20 ≠ 70

Option (4): (50, 4, 25) → (50 - 4) ÷ 2 = 23 ≠ 25

Thus, (44, 22, 11) follows the similar logic as in given set os numbers.

Hence, (44, 22, 11) is the correct answer.
