Question : Directions: Select the one 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.)

Correct Answer: (21, 25, 530)
Solution :
Given:
(12, 11, 137); (17, 21, 362)
(12, 11, 137)→12 × 11 = 132; 132 + 5 = 137
(17, 21, 362)→17 × 21 = 357; 357 + 5 = 362
Let's check each option –
First option:
(18, 9, 165)→18 × 9 = 162; 162 + 5 = 167 ≠ 165
Second option:
(14, 31, 440)→14 × 31 = 434; 434 + 5 = 439 ≠ 440
Third option:
(21, 25, 530)→21 × 25 = 525; 525 + 5 = 530
Fourth option:
(38, 7, 270)→38 × 7 = 266; 266 + 5 = 271 ≠ 270
So, only the third option follows the same pattern as followed by the given sets. Hence, the third option is correct.
