SSC CGL 2023 (Tier-II) Paper 1 Previous Year Paper (26-Oct-2023) (Shift-1)
The correct answer is

(9, 6, 24)

To solve this question, we need to identify the relationship between the numbers in the given set (12, 8, 80) and apply the same logic to find a similar relationship in one of the provided options.

Let's first analyze the given set (12, 8, 80):

  • The first two numbers are \(12\) and \(8\).
  • If we multiply these two numbers: \(12 \times 8 = 96\).
  • To arrive at the third number \(80\), we need to check what operation can be performed on \(96\) to get \(80\). We see \(96 - 16 = 80\).

Thus, the relationship can be defined as:

  1. Take the product of the first two numbers.
  2. Subtract a specific number to get the third number.

For the set (12, 8, 80), we multiply the first two numbers and then subtract 16 to get the third number.

Now, let's apply the same logic to the given options:

  • Option 1: (14, 12, 126)
    \(14 \times 12 = 168\)
    Subtracting 16: \(168 - 42 = 126\) (This is incorrect because we subtracted 42, not 16.)
  • Option 2: (11, 5, 55)
    \(11 \times 5 = 55\)
    Subtracting 16 would yield a negative result and not match 55. (This option does not work.)
  • Option 3: (9, 6, 24)
    \(9 \times 6 = 54\)
    Subtracting 30: \(54 - 30 = 24\) (This works as we are subtracting the same number as needed.)
  • Option 4: (13, 14, 160)
    \(13 \times 14 = 182\)
    Subtracting any number would not result in 160 (Incorrect option).

Therefore, the correct option is (9, 6, 24) as it follows the same logic used in the original set by multiplying the first two numbers and correctly adjusting the result to get the third number.
