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.)
(4, 12, 50) and (7, 12, 86)
Option 1: (3, 6, 18)
Option 2: (6, 18, 110)
Option 3: (2, 5, 23)
Option 4: (5, 7, 34)

Correct Answer: (6, 18, 110)
Solution :
Given:
(4, 12, 50) and (7, 12, 86)
Here, (4, 12, 50)→(4 × 12) + 2 = 48 + 2 = 50
(7, 12, 86)→(7 × 12) + 2 = 84 + 2 = 86
Let's check the options –
First option:
(3, 6, 18)→(3 × 6) + 2 = 18 + 2 = 20 ≠ 18
Second option:
(6, 18, 110)→(6 × 18) + 2 = 108 + 2 = 110
Third option:
(2, 5, 23)→(2 × 5) + 2 = 10 + 2 = 12 ≠ 23
Fourth option:
(5, 7, 34)→(5 × 7) + 2 = 35 + 2 = 37 ≠ 34
So, only the second option follows the same pattern as followed by the given set of numbers. Hence, the second option is correct.
