2 3 17 5 2 21 ? SSC CGL 2024 REASONING QUESTION

Here’s how you can frame the problem by first adding the numbers from the sequences, followed by the options:

Problem Statement:

Given the sequences (2, 3, 17) and (5, 2, 21), find the relationship between the numbers.

Steps to Analyze:

1. First Sequence: 2, 3, 17

• Add the first two numbers:
  • 2 + 3 = 5
• Check against the third number:
  • The result is not directly related to the third number, so let’s explore another relationship.

1. Second Sequence: 5, 2, 21

• Add the first two numbers:
  • 5 + 2 = 7
• Check against the third number:
  • The same approach applies.

Applying the Formula:

In both sequences, if we notice a pattern, we can apply a formula:

• Formula:
  Add the first two numbers, multiply the sum by 2, and then add 7 to find the third number.

Options for Further Exploration:

You can present options based on the derived pattern or possible calculations:

1. (5, 6, 72)
2. (3, 4, 23)
3. (1, 4, 17)
4. (2, 5, 42)

Final Calculation for Each Option:

Now, you can apply the same formula for each option and check which ones satisfy the condition:

1. Option 1: (5, 6, 72)

• Calculation:
  • 5 + 6 = 11
  • 11 × 2 = 22
  • 22 + 7 = 29 (Not equal to 72)

1. Option 2: (3, 4, 23)

• Calculation:
  • 3 + 4 = 7
  • 7 × 2 = 14
  • 14 + 7 = 21 (Not equal to 23)

1. Option 3: (1, 4, 17)

• Calculation:
  • 1 + 4 = 5
  • 5 × 2 = 10
  • 10 + 7 = 17 (Equal to 17)

1. Option 4: (2, 5, 42)

• Calculation:
  • 2 + 5 = 7
  • 7 × 2 = 14
  • 14 + 7 = 21 (Not equal to 42)

Conclusion:

The correct option that follows the pattern is Option 3: (1, 4, 17).
