Question : Directions: Select the option in which the numbers do not share the same relationship as that shared by the given pair of numbers.
(23, 115, 207)
Option 1: (16, 80, 144)
Option 2: (21, 105, 189)
Option 3: (8, 35, 72)
Option 4: (6, 30, 54)
Correct Answer: (8, 35, 72)
Solution :
Given:
(23, 115, 207)
Here, 23 × 5 = 115; 23 × 9 = 207
Let's check the options –
First option:
(16, 80, 144); 16 × 5 = 80; 16 × 9 = 144
Second option:
(21, 105, 189); 21 × 5 = 105; 21 × 9 = 189
Third option:
(8, 35, 72); 8 × 5 = 40 ≠ 35; 8 × 9 = 72
Fourth option:
(6, 30, 54); 6 × 5 = 30; 6 × 9 = 54
So, only the third option does not follow the same pattern as followed by the given set of numbers. Hence, the third option is correct.
