Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following 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.)
(15, 21, 66); (9, 17, 44)
Option 1: (2, 4, 12)
Option 2: (5, 37, 52)
Option 3: (7, 9, 86)
Option 4: (11, 13, 35)
Correct Answer: (5, 37, 52)
Solution :
Given:
(15, 21, 66); (9, 17, 44)
Like, (15, 21, 66)→(15 × 3) + 21 = 45 + 21 = 66
(9, 17, 44)→(9 × 3) + 17 = 27 + 17 = 44
Let's check the options –
First option:
(2, 4, 12)
→(2 × 3) + 4 = 6 + 4 = 10
≠ 12
Second option:
(5, 37, 52)
→(5 × 3) + 37 = 15 + 37 = 52
Third option:
(7, 9, 86)
→(7 × 3) + 9 = 21 + 9 = 30
≠ 86
Fourth option:
(11, 13, 35)
→(11 × 3) + 13 = 33 + 13 = 46
≠ 35
So, only the second option follows the same pattern as followed by the given set of numbers. Hence, the second option is correct.
