SSC CHSL 2024 PYQ — Question 89

SSC CHSL - 01 July 2024 - Shift 3 • Reasoning • Q89

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

(111, 16, 7) (167, 14, 12)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. (131, 12, 11).

The logic used here is:

(111, 16, 7)

16 × 7 - 1 = 112 - 1 = 111

(167, 14, 12)

14 × 12 - 1 = 168 - 1 = 167

Similarly,

(131, 12, 11)

12 × 11 - 1 = 132 - 1 = 131

Hence, (131, 12, 11) is the correct answer.
