The below SERIES question was asked in SSC CGL 2019 (Tier-1) exam held on 4th June, 2019, Shift-1, SET-1.

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

(9, 35, 16)

(a) (16, 50, 64) 

(b) (25, 30, 4)

SOLUTION:

Correct answer is: (c) (36, 55, 25)

Observe the given numbers set carefully: (9, 35, 16)

    (i)  9 --> square root of first digit 9 is 3

    (ii) 16 --> square root of last digit 16 is 4

    (iii) 35 --> Add (i) and (ii) and multiply it by 5 

            i.e., 3 + 4 = 7;    7x5 = 35
